Family vacation

We had a wonderful week at Nick's house. The location was so nice and peaceful. The house had everything we needed. It was so easy to reach out to Nick on the last day. We met some of the neighbors and they were all so friendly and welcoming. It was a great place to stay. Thsnk you Nick.

Enjoyed staying here twice

We stayed at this house a couple of years ago and liked it enough to return. Great location, love the access to the bay right out back and the beach a short walk away. The house had plenty of room for the three of us.

Nice place!

We had a great week in Fenwick Island. Quick walk to the beach, nice quiet street on the canal, and Nick was very responsive when we thought we had an HVAC issue (which turned out to be our own user error). Beds were comfortable and the place was nice and clean when we arrived. Thank you!

Great Place!!

This place was an amazing spot for our family vacation! The house was fully stocked with everything you might need. We loved being in the water and it’s a short walk to the ocean. It is much bigger than it looks on the outside. Will definitely rent this place again.

Fenwick Island Made Easy

Nick’s home made for an easy and relaxing family visit to Fenwick Island. Tucked on a quiet street yet steps away from both the beach and shops/restaurants means there is something for everyone. Even more, Nick generously provides everything you might need for a comfortable beach visit - chairs, umbrella, etc. The home itself is comfortable and perfect for family movie/game nights. Check in and communication were a breeze. We hope to visit again!

Lovely and comfortable!

We lived staying here. The beds were comfortable which is very high on my list of importance! The kitchen was well stocked, the water just outside the back door was amazing, the two hvac units made it comfortable for everyone temperature-wise. The host was responsive when I had a question. I would definitely stay here again!

Great house, location, owners and experience.

Clean and well cared for. An older home, about half updated, but all clean and well taken care of. Plenty of space for our group of 8-9 family members. Quiet street with easy access to beach, sound, shops and food. Nice deck and backyard on a canal with kayaks and fishing available right there. Owners were responsive and helpful. Would recommend and would stay there again. Thanks!

Perfect location, good vibes

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house. The location is perfectly situated in the middle of Fenwick Island…we could walk everywhere (walking to High Tide coffee one block north was my favorite). The house was clean and the linens seemed new. My three daughters all enjoyed having their own bedrooms. The house had everything we needed—nice deck, games, puzzles, kitchen stuff, beach chairs and toys, and a double kayak. The neighbors were friendly and Nick (the owner) was helpful and responsive over messaging and text. The house had a nice and pleasant vibe. I think the house is bigger than it looks in the pictures.

Great location, perfect for our family of 6

Nice home on quiet street in Fenwick. Home was clean, bathrooms are updated, kitchen is functional. Owner was responsive. The house was great for our family of 6. 4 teenagers each had their own bedroom. Close to where we wanted to be and quiet. Parking permit allowed us to drive and park on oceanside streets, kids rode bikes everywhere. We would return.

Everything you need!

Wonderful stay at this CLEAN cottage. Modern bats and kitchen. Bonus we didn’t have to pack sheets and towels. House is large with only a 4 minute walk to the beach. Everything you need for the beach and bay is in the shed. Brand new beach chairs were a plus! 1/2 mile walk to ice cream, mini golf, Waterpark and may restaurants and shops. You won’t be disappointed with this rental. Owner was accessible and very accommodating.

Great waterfront location

We enjoyed are stay and particularly the ability to have our boat docked there. We brought a 21' Boston Whaler with a 200 HP engine. Although there are some shallows until you get to he main channel, we had very little difficulties. The next door neighbors to the east were friendly and very helpful.

great location!

The property was exactly as described. Very quiet neighborhood, short walk to beach and attractions. Parked our car at check in and didn't need it again until it was time to leave. The kitchen was the most equipped I have ever rented. Everything we needed was found at this property. The few questions we had were answered promptly. I would definitely rent again.

This place is awesome. It's much bigger than it appears, and it's a short walk to the beach, far enough away from Ocean City that the beach doesn't get too crowded, but still a short distance to the attractions.

Unexpected Indian Summer Vacation

This was my 1st, direct VRBO experience and it was great. Well in advance I booked Nicks place, hoping the whole family could join us for a few days, here and there. Well, only the adventurous part of the family could make it and through a Noreaster, high winds and tides, we had a great time. After the kids left, my wife and I had the best weather ever and got to explore and relax in sunshine and 70-80 degrees. The house was family/pet friendly, well equipped and comfortable. Nick, our host was responsive and extremely helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this property to families and small groups of family oriented individuals. Well behaved pets will be comfortable as well.

Great Time in Fenwick Island

Really enjoyed my vacation in Fenwick Island. The rental was walking distance to the beach so I was able to see the sun rise over the Atlantic every morning and enjoy evening walks along the beach after dinner. Property is on a quite street with no thru traffic and close to several places to eat and shop. Wi-Fi internet connectivity was excellent so I as able to work remotely and teleconference without any issues. Definitely would stay at this beach rental again. Really great vacation!
