Family Reunion

Had a celebration of my father’s life who would have been 100. Family from 4 states gathered and stayed in Bowers Beach to get reacquainted and we unturned his ashes at a family cemetery. Despite the heat we enjoyed the water and waves at Rehoboth. The house was spacious and the host accommodating. Lovely to have space.

Lacrosse Tournament

We played the DE Turf and stayed in this house instead of the very pricey and not great hotel options. Solid house. Clean. Cool little town. Bring all your food etc, this is the middle of nowhere, but it is super convenient to the fields and right by a bay beach. Sean, the owner, was very responsive.

Lovely retreat

Great place to stay! The communication with the property manager was very good. The house was big enough for my husband and I, four of our adult children and some grandchildren. The bedrooms are spacious and we had enough beds and pillows for all. Our stay was in November, and we still enjoyed walking the beach, which was about a block away from the house, and watching the sunrise. The kitchen was very well equipped and everything was in working order. The only odd thing, that we got use to in a few days, is that house sways and also vibrates when the washer is spinning. It was a different sensation, but we never felt unsafe. Our only complaint was a few areas of messes that were left in closets and the towel closet was in disarray. Overall, it was well worth it.

Great for large groups, convenient to Dover

We stayed here while visiting a festival up at the Dover racetrack. It was an easy drive and let us hang on the beach in the day. We loved seeing all the wildlife including horseshoe crabs, jellyfish, periwinkle and even a sea turtle! The only negative was the water, which had a strong sulfur smell and was undrinkable. Even showers weren't fun. However this was disclosed and after buying a bunch of bottled water we were happy and would return in the future. Wonderful and responsive host. Thanks!

Captain's Quarters Rocks!

This is our second stay at Captian's Quarters as part of the annual American Select girls lacrosse showcase event. We comfortably slept 4 families and enjoyed all the amenities and upgrades the owner did since our last visit. The little community of Bowers Beach is great for a quick beach run, excellent food, and a fun night time tavern for adults; all within a 5 minute walk. Sean is a great owner and very responsive to anything you need.
