Guests of every age will enjoy the bay beach. It's truly perfect for kids; the bay is calm and provides the perfect place for swimming, collecting seashells, or digging up hermit crabs. Older guests can enjoy water sports, too!

Discover the calm of Cape Shores!
This home is located in premier Cape Shores, the only local waterfront community boasting a community pool, tennis courts, & its own fishing pier - which are available to all renters.

Beach Access:
In order to maintain the integrity of the beach, there is one path for every 2 houses in Cape Shores. The path for this house is shared with the house to the left.

Cape Henlopen State Park Tips:
In addition to its beaches, nature, and recreational trails (which connect to Rehoboth Beach, DE and its boardwalk/dining/shops), key features of Cape Henlopen State Park are the WWI watchtowers. The park showcases their history and will even allow visitors to climb the tower (via interior stairs) and enjoy the expansive views.

Charming, Historic Downtown Lewes:
You can also ride your bike to Historic Lewes (less than 2 miles away) with its quaint, historic Victorian houses; many shops and galleries, and excellent restaurants. Don't miss King's Ice Cream on Second Street!

Cape Shores
Great location on the beach. House was just as advertised. Great view from the family room, where we spent most of our time since the weather was not great. Even though we were not able to see the sunset from the beach or pier due to the clouds, we still took the short walk to both the beach and the pier each night at sunset. We have previously seen the sunset from the beach and pier and it is amazing.

Great spot
We had a wonderful time. The house was in the perfect location-right on the bay with calm water and just down the road from the open ocean. Plenty to do in the area. The pool in the neighborhood was beautiful and never overly crowded. We would definitely come back!

Laid back perfection
The house was perfectly warm and inviting with multiple, different indoor and outdoor seating areas for our large group. Beach and pier access just steps away made this spring weekend not too far from home feel like a special, relaxing, gem of a destination. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy, comfortable weekend on the bay.

Very nice house, great location.
The pictures will say it all, nice house and great location. What sets it apart is the owner's rep, Lee Ann. We had an unexpected beach reclamation project during our stay and Lee Ann went out of her way to make it right. We really appreciated her responsiveness and solution. Had a great visit.
