Experience a tranquil beachfront retreat on the shores of the Delaware Bay. This delightful waterfront cottage is available for rent throughout the year. You can enjoy picturesque beachfront water views from nearly every room in the house. The cottage is furnished luxuriously, creating a serene and relaxing environment that feels like your own private oasis. It is situated near Rehoboth Beach, DE, widely known for its boardwalk and numerous activities, events, outlet shopping malls, concert venues, and restaurants. We take immense pride in ensuring that your stay is perfect. We have a well-stocked kitchen and provide various beach toys, boogie boards, life jackets, paddle boards, chairs, and exceedingly comfortable furniture and beds with 1800 thread count sheets.The open floor plan, with a four-season sunroom, is the primary attraction of this cottage. It offers breathtaking water views and direct and quick access to the beach and the expansive Delaware Bay. You will fall in love with the sound of the waves breaking against the beautiful wide sandy beach, curling up with a great book, or just enjoying long naps on the Sunbrella swing at the top of the dune. While you are here, you can observe the thriving Purple Martin community in their five high-rise birdhouse condos that clearly love the beach, too, and will tell you all about it! From sunrise to sunset, you will be surrounded by beauty. Wake up to the aroma of coffee from our coffee bar, enjoy stunning sunrises over the water, the sound of seagulls, herons, and egrets dancing along the coastline, and perhaps even spot dolphins frolicking for breakfast. If you love long, relaxing walks, this is the perfect beachcomber's paradise with wide sandy beaches and shells - sometimes even sea glass. A large 30x12 stone patio provides ample room to enjoy the outdoors, cookout, or enjoy late-night conversation under the stars by the firepit. The indoors are stylishly decorated and comfortable. Enjoy meals together in the sunroom dining area that seats eight, play board games and puzzles with loved ones, or take long, dreamy naps on our lounge chairs with two full-length massagers that melt your stress away while the sound of the water lulls you to sleep. If you're looking for a vacation spot where you can easily work remotely, we've got you covered. Our accommodations include high-speed Wi-Fi and two fully equipped workstations. Each workstation has two large monitors, laptop stands, a mouse, a keyboard, and a webcam (available only in the loft). Our universal docking stations make it easy to connect all your devices without any hassle. Simply plug in, and you're good to go!This cottage is ideal for a quiet and peaceful spot on your own beach, unlike the busy crowds at the main beach attractions. Our cottage is located in Slaughter Beach, but it could be called Sanctuary Beach because of the nature reserve surrounding the area, featuring the world-renowned horseshoe crab migration and red knot arctic bird migration. We have even been known to have baby turtles on our patio. Whether planning the perfect vacation with family, a romantic getaway, a friend's get-together, shopping at the Tanger Outlets, or working remotely, nothing beats the sound and sights of sparkling water and birds to make your holiday or workday more enjoyable. Spend some time at Captains' Cottage - your perfect Delaware beach rental.
