Cottage holiday rentals in Delaware Bay

The cottage was so cute, the back porch was so cozy and comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and everything was clean. The walk to the beach was so pleasant and super close, the hot tub was private and clean. We had a romantic weekend for two but this would be perfect for a young family, for some very relaxing beach time. The host was so gracious and responsive and the location so convenient from DC.

My family would absolutely return to this rental. The location was relaxing, peaceful and tranquil. The space itself was very clean and beautifully decorated. I appreciated all of the live plants. We visited the area for an event but we found plenty of places to eat and things to do during our visit. My favorite part was enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning while watching the horses and cows graze right outside the picture window in the main level sitting space. I highly recommend reading the instructions and directions provided by the property manager(s). They described the location, provided pictures to help guide you to the proper driveway, and gave lots of step-by-step details... I still had to ask the family that lives there to help guide us to the appropriate spot- it's really tucked away. This rental is highly recommended; hopefully, you enjoy it as much as we did!

This is our second time visiting and a perfect spot with everything we needed. Could provide more dish towels, paper towels, and trash bags but supplies were provided quickly upon request.

This was our second time staying at JoJo’s cottage and it was another amazing experience! The house really makes you feel like you’re right at home. The kitchen is well stocked, so we were able to do a lot of cooking at the house. But you’re also so close to so many restaurants for when you’re feeling something easier! It really is a perfect spot, especially if you have dogs and/or kiddos. We would totally book again next summer 😊

We LOVED our stay! The screened porch overlooking the beach was so peaceful and our favorite place to be in the evening. The house was lovely, well cared for, very clean, and very tastefully decorated. The welcome book provided everything you needed to know about the house and surrounding area. We will be back again!

We had the sweetest time at this cozy little cottage! Everything was sparkling clean and thoughtfully set up—it really felt like a home away from home. The hot tub and fire pit were such a dream, and the whole place looked so calm and relaxing as soon as we pulled up. Honestly, they shouldn’t just call it the cottage... they should call it the cozy cottage, because that’s exactly what it is! Already wishing we were back there.

Our stay at Laura and Red’s place was absolutely perfect! The home is beautifully designed, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location couldn’t have been better — close to everything yet peaceful and private. The hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful, even offering great local recommendations. We especially loved the outdoor space — perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, comfortable retreat!

Perfect stay for our family. Plenty of space for the kids to play in the backyard and the basement. The neighborhood was very friendly and easy to get around. The train station was a very easy walk, even for our almost 6 year old, where it's only 5 stops to get into Philadelphia to explore the city. Would definitely recommend for families.

This was our fourth or fifth stay at Peter's cottage. He never disappoints. The place is clean, modern and has just about every amenity you could think of. Walking distance to great restaurants, the beach and the boardwalk. Yet it is quiet and peaceful at night. Peter is a great host- very responsive and friendly. We hope to get back there ASAP!

Jacki's home was so lovely and perfect for a weekend getaway with some friends. We brought our dog who absolutely loved the fenced-in yard and extra loved the mountain of toys stocked in the house!

What a great little cottage! Well equipped, comfy, and set on a beautiful property. Kitchen is excellent for a weekend away. Jeannie was great to work with!

The property was spacious and beautiful! The hosts were incredibly kind and communicative! They even dropped us off a wifi router for the weekend, which was so incredibly kind! I would happily stay here again, what a wonderful host and home!

Wow! I cannot say enough good things about this place! First, the hosts were so responsive before our visit even started, attentive, quick responses, and answered all our questions! The place was beautiful and private, exactly as described. The house had everything you could ever need, and then some! Many cases where we forgot something, and dreading having to leave to buy them, but surprise! Ellen and Michael had it stocked and available to use already! So much backyard space for our 2 pups; toys, treats, food bowls provided to us was an excellent touch and really elevated our experience! The hosts were flexible, understanding, and super accomodating! This home was comfortable, easy to access, and super cozy! Would love to book again next time we're in the area!

Keith’s water view cottage is so beautiful and peaceful. My husband and I had a lovely long weekend stay with our little dog. Even with the storms that passed through the bay we felt extremely safe and cozy throughout our stay. Keith was very responsive and flexible with checkin /checkout. Would definitely stay again!! Thanks Keith !

Great spot to stay for a weekend, lovely local recommendations for coffee, brunch and restaurants all walking distance. Also a quick uber into downtown!

quiet get away spot- very quiet. No direct access to sand/water; just a view - (we knew that going in)- you have to walk a little to get a small little public beach area...but thats not why we went. Just to get away for a weekend from city noise; the place was great. walked dog off leash.

What a super cute cottage! It is located in a quiet, peaceful wooded area. Each bedroom was nicely decorated, with comfy beds & blankets. We found the beach umbrella very handy for our day at Bethany Beach. The Flavor restaurant, which is on the premises, is truly spectacular! This restaurant has the most delicious gourmet hamburgers & milkshakes! Susan was truly the most delightful hostess! Her helper "C" was the kindest, most thoughtful gentleman. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would love to return again! :)

This was a wonderful place to stay! Cottage was well kept and a very comfortable. Loved the peace and serenity of the beautiful forested yard! Thanks Bridget for everything!

Betsy’s air bnb was homey and even better than what we anticipated. She was a great host and helped us with everything we needed. One of my favorite places I’ve stayed and Betsy made us feel right at home. Definitely recommend and we will be coming back.

Perfect Lake Side Vacation Spot!!! My friends and I spent the weekend and we absolutely loved it! The home is beautiful and the surroundings are so serine. Perfect place to get away and spend pleasurably days participating in outdoor activities like fishing, grilling and watching the sunset. We loved our stay so much we are already planning our next trip to the wonderful spot! Tim is an amazing host! Check in and check out were a breeze, he kindly checked in on us and was always prepared to help facilitate an enjoyable stay. I couldn’t recommend this listing any higher :)

Cottage is very cute and the perfect size for a couple. Beautiful view and has all the necessary amenities. Jim was very responsive and communicative!

As a Superhost and frequent traveler, I hold my stays to a high standard—and this cottage absolutely delivered. The level of fit and finish is on par with my own Airbnb, Cottage at Silver Water in Shady Side, MD. It’s a charming, well-appointed home that’s clearly designed with care and hospitality in mind. The house is fully stocked, including extra treats in the honor bar. The bedding was sumptuous, the bathroom bright and cheery with thoughtful amenities, and the main living space was as comfortable as it was stylish. Don’t miss the outdoor shower—it’s a highlight! The location strikes the perfect balance: peaceful and away from the bustle, yet an easy walk or bike ride to town and the beach. The host was fabulous—warm, responsive, and a breeze to communicate with. A+ stay all around. Highly recommend.

Great stay! Perfect place close to our venue to get ready with my Bridesmaids. The house was clean and SO cute! Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location was great out in the country yet a short drive to anything you would need. The property was beautiful, we loved the landscaping. The history of the cottage is so interesting. The restoration of it is amazing. Going inside and seeing the beautiful stone wall with the cross was very special. You feel very peaceful there inside and out in the serene setting. We appreciated the easy check in and how clean the house was. The shower pressure was really nice too. We liked that there was no tv to distract us from getting the rest and relaxation we were seeking. Thank you Janae and Michael for hosting us in your lovely cottage!
