Perfect rental for sports parents

Our family of 7 stayed in this beautiful home while attending my daughter’s field hockey tournament at DE Sports Turf. Everyone was blown away by how clean, spacious and well organized the house was. We had room to spread out, cook and relax between games, and everyone rested well in the peaceful rooms. We will absolutely be back again next year!

Beautiful and Convenient

This was a last minute booking for New Years with my family. From the onset, all communication with Scott was prompt and professional. The property was beautiful and clean while also being close to eateries and groceries if you want to cook/bbq. Will definitely return in the future for a longer stay.

Holiday House

The property was accurate in its pictures and description.It was well stocked and was perfect for our family while visiting with relatives over Christmas. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises, the Bayview bar, and the short walk to the beach. We also met the neighborhood cats several times during our stay. Scott was very easy to communicate with and always responded promptly to any questions or concerns.I would definitely stay there again, possibly during the summer season when there is more going on.

Perfect for Lacrosse

We stayed here while our son’s tournament was at DE Turf. It was very convenient and plenty of space. The fields are about 13 min away. The restaurant in the parking lot was convenient after being at the fields all day.

Great location and house

In town for a lacrosse tournament and being only 12 minutes from the fields was amazing! Owners over-communicated and were super accommodating. Able to walk across the street and grab a drink and dinner at JPs. Highly recommend!

Great sleepy town!!!

Great place. We had a blast!!! The town is small and quiet. Bay has a great beach for the kids just a walk down the quiet street, and great fishing for me! Restaurant was great. Good food and right on the water. Icecream parlor right nextdoor too! House was super clean and well stockedwith everything we needed. We wish we were staying longer!!! Thank you Scott for your help getting us started.

Bowers Beach Getaway LAX Tournament

I hosted four teenage boys for a lacrosse tournament in Frederica. Fields were 10 minutes away. It was great staying in a home vs a hotel. Comfy beds. Responsive host. Accommodated our needs for adjusted check out. Big comfy couch and porches as re relaxing set up. Restaurant and food truck were amazing and had live music both nights in parking lot in front. Charming, sleepy little town. Don't plan on swimming at this beach and bring bug spray in summer. We will be back! Zero complaints

Top secret getaway

We had an event in Dover over the weeked and wanted to stay somewhere close but still have a little adventure and this place hit the spot. The house is spotless and beautifully decorated and made for a great getaway when added to the whole Bowers Beach experience. The history of this area is rich and though it's in the middle of everything it's almost untouched by time. We spent the day at Rehobeth, and nothing against driving in circles for a half hour looking for a parking place, but man coming back here and walking on the silent beach, watching the tiny bay waves lap the sand, seeing the sun turn the sky all the colors over the bay, watching the river flow the opposite direction as the tide comes back in, checking out the food truck and the new outdoor big screen at JP's, it just couldn't have been a better weekend. The house is wonderful, the porch is perfect, it's tremendously clean, and it's a just a stroll across the parking lot for a cold beer and fresh fish. We would absolutely stay here again, next time though we'll skip the boardwalk at RB and just stay here the whole time.

Excellent Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Scott and Rachel's Bowers beach retreat. The property is exactly as it looks in pictures- so clean, fresh, and comfortable! My mom kept insisting it must have been professionally decorated because it looked so nice lol. The check in process was quick and easy with key pad access, and Scott even let us know ahead of time that the property would be available an hour ahead of the listed check in time in case we arrived early which was not expected and really nice. We were already familiar with the area, so found the location as expected and as described. There were so many small extra touches at this property- beach chairs and supplies for use, sunscreen, an outdoor shower for rinsing off your feet after spending time in the sand, a drawer full of spices in the kitchen to name a few. I really have nothing negative to say about this property what so ever! We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely book again in the future. Thank you Scott and Rachel!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Rider

Host profile image
My wife and I love our Bowers Beach house and know you will too! If we can ever help with anything during your stay please don’t hesitate to reach out! There is so much to do and explore in our little town and we are excited to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

You will quickly discover the charm of this quiet, yet fun beach town you've probably never heard of! From the less crowded beaches, to the outdoor bar and food truck steps from the porch, to JPs fresh and famous seafood, to the bait shop and kayak rentals that you can walk right into the water, everything you could ever want is just a stone's throw from the front porch! Please reach out, we would be happy to share our favorite things about Bowers!

What makes this property unique

My wife and I often find it hard to leave our front porch, and we think you will too! Enjoy outdoor dining while listening to the waves crash onto the beach or just relax for evening cocktails on our comfy outdoor furniture while you watch the beautiful sunset. Bad weather outside? Fear not! Once you cuddle up on our oversized couch for a movie you will find that that is hard to leave too! We had our guests in mind when adding amenities to this house and you will find everything you'll need to feel right at home.
