The home has three bedrooms, the master (king) on the main floor en-suite and 2 bedrooms (queens) on the third floor with full bath and large upper deck. This upper deck is utterly amazing with views clear down the river and star gazing with a glass of wine watching those sunsets is heavenly - guest call it my lighthouse room.

Outdoor space includes private fenced parking and the backyard for eating crabs on the picnic table or enjoying the fire pit at night under the stars. The bulkhead has steps that led into the water for launching the kayaks or floating in tubes which are provided along with beach towels seasonally.
*Please note there is a completely separate apartment on the ground floor of this home with no common inside access that is available for rent. Occasionally I stay down there or my family or it's rented so please ask me about the details if needed or ask about renting for extended family gatherings.

A slice of paradise

This property did exactly what I needed it to do: restored my soul. I've had a year, to say the least, and I was looking for a beautiful, peaceful retreat - and Cindy's home has both of those things in abundance. The property is stunningly beautiful and exceptionally well maintained. The water views available for a variety of places on the property are soothing and plentiful, and you get the bonus of music drifting across the river from Unwined on the Water, which is directly across from the house. My dog Lola and I spent five blissful days decompressing, watching the ducks and herons, and getting rejuvenated for the long winter to come. We may need to top off our peace reservoirs in the fall, though, and this is the perfect place to do that. Just book it. You can thank me later. :)

Wow…. What can I say…this place was amazing! I felt like I was in a luxury spa resort. The appliances, decorations, furniture…..all quality and beautifully placed for comfort. Nothing is missing from games to shower steamers. The home is very clean and cozy. The location on the water with the covered decks….. you couldn’t ask for better. And then on top of all of that…..Cindy is spectacular….excellent service and communication. She has thought of everything and found ways to still provide more. We WILL be back.

This was by far the best Vrbo I've ever rented. Cozy, classy and comfy. Our host was absolutely the most reasonable in every sense. The decor was tasteful and welcoming. The kitchen had every accoutrement you could think of. There was no expense spared on the appliances. The beds were majestic and the terraces are enchanting.

Amazing property felt like home!

I wish I could give above five ratings for the cleanliness of the house, the communication with the owner, and the location. The house felt like home. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen. We spent some time on the balcony, but I can imagine in cooler weather spending all day outside. We walked the neighborhood with our dog, and found it a quiet, friendly place. I would definitely go back. It really did feel like home away from home.

Beware!

Cute little house for a getaway but unfortunately it was not. Nowhere on the description did it state the house had a massive ant infestation and when you are sitting down on the couch to watch a movie, these unwelcomed guests will crawl up on your arms and scare the living daylights out of you. The owner later told us that she puts traps out which we had to hurdle over at times. But that wasn't as scary as the bucket sitting on top of the stairs with a paper sign on the ceiling stating "leak." The owner told us she wanted a repairman to come look at the leak while we were in the house! She told us that was the only time that can be done. We agreed because we were scared of the leak getting worse... yet she didn't even offer anything to compensate us for the inconvenience. Also she mentioned how she might rent out the apartment downstairs but she should also warn us ahead of time because when we got home from dinner, we were surprised to find two strangers hanging around the backyard. We didn't know if they were intruders or what. Luckily they were very nice but I had to go introduce myself. Finally, to our much surprise, the owner filed a claim with the insurance because we broke the couch. Um, we did not such thing in fact, the couches were working just fine the entire time there. I suspect the owner uses guests for her insurance scam and I wouldn't be surprised if she used us for her leaky roof and the ant situation. Terrible and unethical business practices. Shameful!!!

Great spot!

Stayed at Cindy's house for our daughter's graduation from UD. Wish we had found this place her freshman year instead of at the end of senior year! Easy drive to the university but away from all the traffic and chaos. The neighborhood is quiet, the water views and sunsets can't be beat. Being able to bring our dog was a huge plus. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well-stocked. Cindy is great about communicating. She let us know in advance that another grad family would be in the downstairs apartment; it didn't impact us at all. If we find ourselves in the area again would definitely opt to stay here.
