Relaxing and quiet
Myself, my husband and our Golden Retriever loved the Cozy Beach Cottage! It was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. They provide everything but towels. The beach is pretty private with none of the craziness of the big beaches. Host was easy to communicate with also. Would absolutely reccomend and we would love to return again next year.

Lovely Cozy Cottage
The cottage was very clean and neat. There were a number of accoutrements available that you don’t normally find. The beauty of being able to walk to the beach thru the pathway out back was terrific.
The host was helpful with all questions and very responsive.if you’re looking for quiet, it’s definitely a great place to stay.

Great for families with small kids
The cozy cottage is just that. We were 2 families with 2 toddlers in each. The cottage was just the right size for us and Slaughter beach is the perfect beach for young families. We'll be back next year

Amazing stay at this lovely property! I stayed with my 70 year old parents for a family beach trip. The home is so convenient, right on a lovely private beach just steps away from the back door. It had everything we needed and more. And bonus that my dog was able to join us - and enjoy the beach as well!

Slaughter Beach Gem!
What a great little cottage on Quiet Slaughter Beach! We visited the area for a LAX tournament at the Turf Fields in Frederika and this cottage was just 20 minutes away! The owner was very responsive to questions I had as we were preparing for our trip.
This cottage comfortably accommodated our family 5 and was very clean and tidy. 2 bathrooms allowed everyone to shower after a day at the beach and not run out of hot water. Washer dryer were a bonus and reminded me how much I miss mine from 30 years ago! The living area accommodated all of us on the couch and gave a nice place for naps. Bonus the cottage is dog friendly, but so clean you would never know!
Beach is rocky but clean and doesn’t smell. Not a lot of dead horseshoe crabs (we were there during peak time for them to wash up). This is a great section of Slaughter Beach with just enough waves to keep the beach clean and water clear. Water is shallow and you can walk out pretty far. Bring water shoes if you like to spend time on the beach. Pack binoculars if you like to check out the ships heading into the port. There are plenty of chairs, umbrellas and yard games. When we needed a break from the beach, the deck was fantastic.
Slaughter Beach is in a remote area with beach homes. There are many dining options within 15 minutes. We enjoyed dining locally at Burgers & Brews, Tequilla Real and Pizza Takeout from Polisenos.
If you are visiting the area STAY HERE! We loved it!

Wonderful location
This was the perfect place for our family Vaca!! Very clean and well stocked with essentials. A lot of privacy is provided by the shrubbery and the beach is just a few steps away. We were 6 adults, 2 kids and 2 small dogs and we did not feel crowded at all. Loved it and definitely hope to return again. The sunrises on the beach were spectacular and there is a wildlife viewing area within walking distance for the most glorious sunsets. Definitely recommend.

Nice cottage by the shore.
The property was clean with quality linen for the beds and 4 TVs in total. It’s only a few steps from a dog friendly beach. It has the basics you would need for your stay. The kitchen is fully equipped, if you want to cook larger meals or special meals get your own utensils but what they have is generally enough.The cottage even had biscuits for dogs as well as four dog bowls. It’s quite cozy and relaxing. They also had a few games for the evening. The terrace on the top was closed but they had another one next to the garage.
We could imagine to come back next year.

Wonderful Trip!
My husband, dog & I had a great time! The cottage is clean and well-stocked. All expectations were clearly communicated. Love being able to trek just a few feet to the beach and get some sun on the deck. We've been staying in this area for 10+ years and are so appreciative of those who open up their property to include dogs so we can make it a true family vacation.

Our New Home Away from Home
I can't express how wonderful our stay was at the Cozy Beach Front Cottage and what it meant to me and my sister that our little Fur babies could come and be with us on our family vacation. The property owners are wonderful and really think about the needs of your pets at their Cottage and as well with our needs with just little things that you really appreciate. Me and my mom both have trouble walking so having that short distance to the beach was so nice and the beach is very quiet and relaxing. Also the owners have a building going down towards the beach that had plenty of chairs and umbrellas and other handy things. Also your close to many restaurants and stores and can even have Walmart deliver your groceries but you have to pay for your bags in most stores in Delaware. Needless to say this is our new summer rental.

Lacrosse beach refuge
Adorable beach home- super clean. It can sleep way more ppl than you would expect- lots of beds. Beach access was perfect, practically had it all to ourselves. Heed the no towel warning. Less than 20 minutes to the DE turf complex. Perfect restful refuge during lacrosse tourney.

The house was great. No problems. Plenty of space for everyone. Sleeping arrangements were great too.
Slaughter Beach didn't have much to do, but we were there for Lacrosse and it was very convenient to DE Turf Complex.
We had a great time.

It was nice
The house was nice, clean, well-stocked kitchen, they don’t supply bath towels or have bath mats in the bathrooms so we had to buy them but she told us a day before hand, having more notice would have been nice. There is a decent Family Dollar about 6 miles up the road so it wasn’t too much of a hassle to get supplies.
The washer and dryer were nice, old, but nice and did the job. She provided lots of detergent and dryer sheets.
The parking was good, plenty of space for multiple cars. The deck was a bit hazardous and our dog could easily get onto the roof so we didn’t go up there much. The second lower deck was nice though. I appreciated the fully beach stocked shed that had chairs, a beach tent, and corn hole.
We did appreciate the house being dog-friendly, she had a courtesy dog eating/drinking station, poop bags, and dog biscuits of assorted flavors (with the ingredient list included in case of any allergies).
The house was clean despite a miscommunication between owner and cleaning service on the dates of stay. We arrived 45 minutes after the 4:00 PM check-in only to have to wait until 6:30 PM to get into the house. The cleaner was apologetic and thorough in her work. Yesenia provided a courtesy late check-out as apology but our plans had us leaving by the 11:00a check-out so I guess it’s the thought that counts?
The path to the beach could be cleared out more, big cactus in the way making it a hazard for dogs/kids. Lots of dead horseshoe crabs on beach.
