This house was the perfect place for our 4th of July holiday. Clean, cozy, with everything you need. The beach in the backyard was convenient and peaceful and the neighborhood quiet and friendly.
We loved having very friendly and welcoming hosts who communicated well and made check in super easy. We did feel that the property wasn't clean enough for the price point, and that was disappointing. The home is decorated beautifully and we saw some wonderful sunsets on the beach.
Wonderful site, right on the beach. Cute, renovated cottage with all the amenities. Perfect getaway for our family of four. Big thank you to the hosts.
Perfect mother/daughter birthday weekend gateway! Reflection cottage is beautiful and the bay views are gorgeous. It is remote, which is what we wanted to avoid the holiday crowds AND not too far for outings with friends in Rehoboth! Loved it and hope to return next time with the guys too!
This property was just what we needed to cap our summer. It was nicely decorated and comfortable. Being close to the water and listening to the waves was so relaxing and refreshing. We would definitely consider this property again when we travel this way. Thank you!
Nice place . Very Clean and nicely decorated, but not really for the kids
They like to swim in bigger waves. One tv was not good and fire stick has lots of issues
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely renovated cottage. The house had everything we needed (as advertised), the beach is private and gorgeous, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Yes, you have at least a 10 minute drive to find restaurants, stores, etc but it’s a small price to pay for the gorgeous beachfront views. Enjoy!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Reflections Cottage. The view when we walked in the door was stunning and it was apparent that the owners took pride in their home. It was really lovely and quiet and not too far from the hustle and bustle of Lewes and Rehoboth. Would love to return in the Fall when the green head flies are nowhere to be found! Thank you for having us in your wonderful home.
Blown away by how great this house/property was upon arrival. The owner answered all of our questions-and there were a lot. It was perfect for our family of seven. Recommend the town of Milton for groceries and local restaurants. Quick drive to Lewes for charter fishing as well. We can’t thank the owners enough for the great vacation we had at their home.
The house is very comfortable overall. The upstairs with all the bedrooms is a little close, and the room listed as having a double bed and twin bed is a trundle bed. There was no backup toilet paper in the house for a four night stay. But everything was clean, comfortable, and in working order. The back deck / patio / yard / beach access is truly wonderful.

Not so exquisite...
Great location, very quiet... We planned to stay a whole week, unfortunately, we had to cut our vacation very short (three days) due to an infestation of fruit flies. The bedrooms and bathrooms are small, and the house needs a thorough cleaning. The kitchen is well equipped, but the outdoor grill had seen better days. No privacy in the living room. The house next door is very close, and there are no window treatments in this room.

The property was lovely. The interior was nicely decorated and the landscaping was gorgeous. We saw hummingbirds and goldfinches in the garden during our stay. That being said, the cottage was small. While it officially sleeps seven, our group of six adults was really too large for comfort. The bedrooms and bathrooms are small and one of the bathrooms is next to the front door. The location on the beach was wonderful and there was virtually no one else around, but the beach was very rocky and the water very murky. Our biggest problem was the insects. I don't know if it was the time of the season we were there or because there had been a recent storm, but we were attacked by giant flies and mosquitoes. At times, it was not possible to be outside. I came home with dozens of insect bites.
We had such a wonderful week at this beautiful beach house! We had everything we needed and the check in and out instructions were clear. I would definitely recommend this as a comfortable and delightful location for a quiet family vacation.
We loved our stay at the cottage. Weather was perfect and the place had all the basics available. Owner was very responsive and helpful with questions. We can’t wait to come back next summer.
