Gorgeous pano views, Beach Front Access and hot tub! Your peaceful escape!

Enjoy the most beautiful views in slaughter beach overlooking both the Delaware Bay and Prime Hook Marsh, preached atop the tallest deck in town you can enjoy your coffee or evening cocktail with spectacular panoramic views!
Slaughter Beach is a gem of a town that is peaceful and quiet, nature abounds with ospreys, eagles, shore birds, and a walk along the dog friendly beach is sure to provide some treasures to find. The beach almost feels exclusive, few passers by who like you are making the most of the salt air and beautiful scenery.
Sunsets on the westward facing decks are unimpeded and spectacular. Relax on the porch swing with someone you love with plenty of room for others situated in their Adirondack chairs simply enjoying what matters most. In the evenings you can take in the stars. With very low light pollution the stars can be unreal some nights, sit in the hot tub with the people of your choice and soak it all in.
Slaughter Beach provides the balance and peace a real vacation requires, only a short drive into the hub-bub but perfectly removed. Close by Rehoboth and Lewes beaches can be great for an evening out or a trip to the boardwalk with family. The town provides access to tennis, basketball, pavilion, boat launch, and DuPont Nature Center. Take a family bike ride down Bay Ave or a active jog with few cars passing you by.
The home has 5 bedrooms total and 4 full bathrooms. Two King Master Bedrooms, a Queen, dual twins in bedroom four and a bunk bed in the 5th. bedroom. The loft has a twin bed and serves as a 6th bedroom and there are two queen sleeper sofas in the main living area. Ample living space with over 3800 square feet in an open concept, 4 decks and a screened in porch.
While on vacation, still experience all the comforts of home with four 42-inch flat screen TVs with streaming services, wireless high-speed Internet service and a office area! Dine out or enjoy a night in with everything you need to cook a family meal in the full kitchen and propane grill on the deck. You're able to pack light as we have a washer and dryer available in the house for your convenience

Great family vacation home!
This home is so amazing!! Just can’t say enough great things about it. The kitchen is awesome- it has everything you need for family feasts! So many different areas to nap or read a book, as well as room to work on a jigsaw puzzle, play games, or just relax in the many comfy outside areas. The private entrance to the beach was perfect for our dogs, and we spent many hours just walking the beach picking up shells. You never have to leave the property to enjoy your stay!

Together again
It had been a long time since our entire family has been able to spend extended time together due to Covid and health issues. We were familiar with the peacefulness of Slaughter Beach since I had family who lived in lower Delaware. We spent a lot of summers in the past at the beach and it was so great to be back and share the setting with our grandkids. The house was amazing, accommodating all 12 of us very comfortably along with our 2 dogs. Ed and Katie were easy to get a hold of, always able to answer any questions we had. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The kids are all already talking about wanting to do it again next year.

Vacation Slaughter Beach July 2023
Our family enjoyed our stay at the Laughing Gull. The house was very clean, the rooms were spacious and the beds were comfy. The kitchen was fully equipped with all cooking items needed. It even had a fully stocked spice rack and items in the pantry. The elevator was very convenient to have when moving things in and out from all floors. We also appreciated that they supplied beach chairs, beach bikes, corn hole, games, puzzles and toys for the kids. We brought our pets, so having dog treats at the front door was a nice for them. What we really enjoyed were the views from both sides of the house. The front side has a swing and the back side, a hammock, which was very relaxing. On the third floor, we all enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. Although the beach was not what we were used to, due to it being a horseshoe crab sanctuary, there were other beaches that were within a 30 minute drive that we went to, to give us the beach experience. Our favorite was Broadkill Beach, which was only a 15-20 min drive from the house and had more tame crowds than Lewes and Rohoboth. Thank you Katie and Ed for assisting us and being so responsive when we had questions.

Perfect house!
We can’t say enough about this property! The jacuzzi on the top balcony w/ fire pit is amazing. The sunrises and sunsets were superb. The host is very available but not a helicopter host. The pantry is loaded with anything and everything you need for cooking. The bikes were fun. We took many bike rides. The elevator works perfect, and is very helpful to get groceries up. There is not a negative thing I can think of about this property. Worth every penny❤️….. also the construction of this home is solid. It is A #1 … I would definitely say if any family is looking for a true getaway rent at The Laughing Gull. Hope to be back

Great Fall October Getaway
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home with views on all sides. My sons (15 & 12) loved the hot tub and we enjoyed our walks on the beach. The house was very comfortable- we loved the decks and enjoyed the nature around us. My parents joined us too and enjoyed the time outdoors. The elevator in the home was perfect for them to get to the third floor. We enjoyed dining, outlet shopping, and the bakeries which were awesome. All in all, it was a perfect getaway with those that mean the most- family.

Wonderful home for a quiet family vacation
The Laughing Gull exceeded all expectations for a relaxing family getaway. The home is beautiful, well-maintained and by far the cleanest summer rental we have experienced. Communication from the owner, Katie, was timely and it was a delight to work with her. Being right on the beach was a great convenience. We brought our dog and it was a great week for him, too, with dog biscuits by the door and the dog-friendly beach. Please do not expect a pristine, groomed beach as Slaughter Beach is a natural beach and horseshoe crab sanctuary. It's also a bit rocky, but even in the middle of August we had the beach to ourselves nearly every day which was wonderful. The home is quite luxurious with a huge gourmet kitchen and high end materials throughout. Our group of 10 had plenty of room. The only potential negatives I can think of are the remote location (nearly 20 minutes to dining/shopping with few delivery options) and the lack of window treatments in the bathrooms. It was uncomfortable for several in our family to shower or use the restroom without blinds or curtains on windows facing the home next door. Overall, a great week and we would not hesitate to rent again. Thank you, Katie, for the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful home.

Absolutely gorgeous home.
This beach house is beautiful and nicely decorated. Everything you need at a beach house. Our entire small family spent a week there and it was wonderful. The sunrises were spectacular as well as the sunsets. It’s a quiet area. Close to restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores. We played in the sand and water, rode bikes, played cards, and have many wonderful memories at this beautiful home. The owners are always available and quickly respond. I highly recommend this beach house.
