Everything was set up wonderfully and the property was beautiful. My husband, dog, and I had everything we needed, were able to take beautiful beach walks every day, and had easy communication with Beth if we needed anything. It was a wonderful stay and we would definitely come again!

Cute little cabin on the river
The views are amazing, you can't get any closer to the water. The house is adorable, spacious and has a lot of extras to make you feel welcome. Beth is a great host and responds very quickly to any questions. This was our second visit and plan on going again in the spring.

Cute Cottage on Delaware River
Had a wonderful time at Beth’s cottage. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and relaxing. She has everything you need for your stay. Just bring your clothes and food. The family came and stayed for a night. We had a campfire at watched the beautiful sunset. It was fun walking along the beach and watching the tanker and freight ships 🚢 go up and down the Delaware. Beth was a great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. She was nice to talk to. We will definitely be back. Thank you Beth for the snack basket too.

Great little beach front experience
Enjoyed the waterfront view and sitting by the water. The sunglasses, flipflops and snacks were nice touches. Property outside could use some clean up and personal touches but overall a great experience!

Relaxation Heaven
The property was perfect, even in the windy and cold weather! So many blankets around to snuggle up with and a fireplace heater to feel even cozier! It had everything we needed plus more. We were able to cook when we wanted, enjoy a cup of coffee, and do absolutely nothing! As a busy mom, it was heaven. The snack baskets and games available were greatly appreciated. Also, the host is right next door if anything is needed or if you have any questions. We loved being able to take our pups as well. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Cozy, comfortable cottage
The cottage was equipped with everything (and more) we could possibly need. Beachfront view and walkability of the neighborhood were terrific. Our host was accessible and responsive. Check-in and check-out were easy. We would enjoy staying here again, in summer, with kayaks.

Beautiful view
The cutest little cottage with everything you will need. Beth has snacks set out, even some for the dog too, so thoughtful. The location is perfect, steps from the water's edge. It was too windy for a fire on the beach the first night. Unfortunately, I woke up sick the next morning and had to go home. Beth checked in with me several times that day to see how I was feeling. We are looking forward to a return visit.

Perfect Getaway
Beth’s cute cottage was a perfect getaway for our family of 4. Close enough to Philly and Sesame place for our kids day trip. The best part was being right on the beach to enjoy the breeze and amazing sunrises and sunsets. The flip flops for the kids and the snack basket were also a thoughtful touch.
