Laughter Beach House! LIFE, LOVE, LAUGHTER & INCREDIBLE VIEWS

Welcome to the “Laughter Beach House'' where life, love and laughter meet incredible views and nature at Slaughter Beach! Constructed from day one to be a complete retreat from crowds and a place to decompress. Sheets, towels and bedding are included.

Enjoy this stylish, open and airy, 3,000 sq/ft - 4 level home. Relax and admire the gorgeous views from 2,000 sq/ft of decks and entertaining spaces at one of Delaware’s remote hidden gem locations! There is an elevator for your added convenience.

The 1st floor master bedroom includes a king sized bed, an en-suite bathroom with rain shower and double vanity sinks, walk-in closet , a single desk and chair for working remotely or extra vanity with mirror for additional grooming area. This room has access to a shared covered deck. The 2nd bedroom has 2 full sized beds, sleeps 4 and has the same covered porch access. The 3rd bedroom has a queen sized bed and is conveniently located across the hall from a shared bath with tub/shower and nearby laundry room. Sheets, towels and bedding are included. All bedrooms are equipped with large smart TVs with individual or paired streaming capability.

The upstairs living space has a modern open airy feel with lots of natural light and beautiful bay views. The stylish, open concept kitchen, modern living and dining areas are perfect for large gatherings. A home theater with 7.1 surround sound, a 77 inch TV and large sectional couches offer the perfect seating arrangements for socializing or for family movie nights. The dining table seats 12 and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen await your entertaining efforts. A powder room is located off the main area. The 2nd master bedroom suite impresses with a king sized bed, a full shower and double vanity sinks, large walk-in closet and dual desk workstation seating (1 stand up desk option) for anyone working remotely. The main floor deck includes an outdoor dining area for 10, charcoal grill with a pizza oven, comfortable seating area, 2 large umbrellas, a firepit and beautiful views of the bay and surrounding area.

The top floor loft, with breathtaking views, is furnished as an extra sleeping area/hang out room with a queen sized pull out sleeper sofa with upgraded memory foam mattress and a large smart TV. We will make this room up for you as a bed so that the bedding is there and available for you but feel free to fold it up and use it as another slip away to the perfect “extra spot” for tv watching or a gaming space away from the downstairs activities or just enjoy the views sipping cocktails. Surrounding decks on both sides of this lofty perch there are 8 Adirondack chairs, firepit, and umbrella, perfect for star-gazing and socializing, feel free to move the Adirondack chairs around for creating your own comfortable space. We recently added a 7 person hot tub on this top level for your added enjoyment with LED lighting package for a mood setting experience! This home is set up to accommodate 12 comfortably.

For those wanting to relax a bit more please enjoy the 7 person sauna located as you enter on the lower level. 2 Car enclosed garage loaded with beach chairs, umbrellas as well as 2 beach wagons. For added convenience there is an outdoor shower located in the garage area to wash off the sand from the day at the beach.

The area is remote** and has easy access to beaches, tennis courts, basketball courts, a pavilion, boat launch area, a full service marina and Dupont Nature Center. Get some exercise while using any of the 10 beach bikes available to take a ride down Bay Avenue to the Marvel Salt Marsh Preserve with seasonal Osprey nests easily viewed. For a little further adventure and an evening out, try Milford, Milton, Rehoboth*** and Lewes nightlife, restaurants and boardwalks that are not too far away. Take a ferry ride from Lewes and venture over to Cape May for the day and explore the many attractions available. So many things to do at your discretion with the opportunity to escape from it all.

This is a beautiful home and they have everything fully stocked. If you forget something most likely you can find it somewhere is this house. If you’re looking to get away from home perfect place for a family. For those beachgoers I would look for something more south.

AMAZING Beach House!

Our stay at this beautiful beach house could not have been better. The owners went above and beyond communicating to us about our stay. The house was extremely clean and we had so much space for our family. We would 100% stay again!

A Fun Family Stay

The home was very clean, very well stocked kitchen, had wonderful patios to spread out and enjoy meals and cocktails outside. It also had a hot tub and sauna we enjoyed very much! The elevator was so helpful for our elderly grandmother and for packing/unpacking. Extra bedding/pillows and stored matresses were great! Communicating with owners was easy, they were always very helpful! We visited other beaches, nearby one was full of dead or dying horsehoe crabs during mid July. Great things to do in nearby areas for families. We had a great time!

Great house, as long as you’re prepared

Pros: The house itself was really nice, with well stocked kitchen and linens. Lots of parking. Hosts are very responsive too. Things to be aware of: Yes there were lots of bugs, but that’s what you get with the secluded location. If you’re planning a beach trip just be prepared that the close beaches aren’t great for swimming so you’ll still have to travel many miles for the good ones. The next door house is under construction, so there could be some extra noise depending on when you’re there.

Lovely hosts, not so fun area

Mixed feelings about this one. Hosts were responsive, and much of the home was thoughtfully prepared. Twin mattresses under each king bed meant we had plenty of sleeping space for parents and children alike! Bathrooms are beautiful and spacious. The description of the house as a beach house was not completely truthful, as the thousands of dead and decaying horseshoe crabs made the beach hardly a place you’d want to spend time. We were a party of six adults and six children, and the kids did have a blast at the nearby nature center learning about the crabs and local ecosystem. The water is vile, even a couple miles down the way at the beach near the fire station. I would definitely keep children out of the water—it turned all our swimsuits a sick gray color and left an oily texture. The pollution levels register some of the worst in the nation. Ants were everywhere, which isn’t surprising at a beach house, but even with traps in many rooms, they remain a major problem. We found a live mouse in one of our bags in a bedroom on our third day. Also, the many flights of stairs made it not safe at all for toddlers and infants. That said, the kitchen was well stocked in terms of plates, appliances, glassware. The washing machine and everything worked very well. Most of the condiments in the fridge and many spices in the cabinets were out of date, some of them by several years. Several features were broken, like a screen door to the main deck and large outdoor table umbrella.
