Graduation Trip
We chose Captain’s Quarters for our family trip to attend our daughter’s graduation because of the size and location of the home. Approximately 10 of us were able to stay there comfortably and the area and location was close to all the activities we attended. Sean was great in allowing us to check in early and communication was excellent. His instructions were very clear and helpful in getting us settled in the first day and becoming familiar with the home. Like any home, there were some things that didn’t worked well. Upon check-in we had an ant issue in the kitchen area and the main bedroom. Also, it was tough to get over the odor of the water. Sean was very reactive in helping us take care of the ants quickly. Also, the bicycles were available to be used but they were not in working condition. I would recommend servicing of the bicycles if they are available for house guests. Deck furnitures and beach chairs need cleaning. Overall our stay was pleasant and peaceful. The neighbourhood is quiet and great for walking and easy access to the beach.

Great place to stay for tournaments in Frederica
We stayed with 2 other families for a field hockey tournament. It was a short drive to the turf complex in Frederica. We were able to cook our meals instead of eating out, and had a comfortable place to rest when there were breaks. It was a close walk to the beach, though we only went for short times to walk since it was in April and cold outside. There were plenty of bedrooms and places for us to hang out where we weren't on top of each other. I would stay there again if we had another event to go to in the area.

Great property and excellent value!
Captains Quarters is a great house with plenty of space for 10-12 people. We had 5 people so everyone got their own room. Close to the beach, one restaurant in the area but it was fantastic, great burgers and best ice cream ever! Similar houses in Rehoboth or Dewey cost 50% more so we enjoyed the same area for a much better value.

Lovely Family Vacation
We stayed at this property to be close to family for the Thanksgiving holiday. The owner did a great job communicating and shared helpful resources about the area. The home lived up to all expectations. It was clean and well kept. We loved being able to walk down the street to the beach, which was beautiful even during the off season.

Wedding @ King Cole Farm
A group of 10 of us; 4 couples and 2 singles stayed here for a wedding held at King Cole Farm. Location was perfect, close proximity to the beach. There was enough space for all 10 of us to hang out in the living room and kitchen areas. Very convenient if you’re attending an event at KCF, it was about a 15 minute drive—don’t solely rely on ride-shares. We were planning to Uber/Lyft and it was difficult to find a ride. Overall, place was cute and the little town of Bowers Beach is cute and personable. We all agreed we’d be willing to stay here again!

Spacious and Open
We celebrated a friend’s birthday by having a girls’ weekend at Captain’s Quarters. The house was well appointed and spacious. The rooms provided privacy for all of us and plenty of space to socialize. The home itself was a little dated with the usual wear and tear that exists in a beach property. The amenities were great! The bikes and beach chairs provided were wonderful and the private beach was a block away and peaceful. The only thing that we found to be wanting was the water in the home. It smelled very sulfuric which the owner did disclose that it may have a slight odor. It was more than slight but it was also in other places on Bower Beach such as the restaurant. Other than that we had a lovely stay!

Quiet Getaway
My friends and I had a lovely stay in Bowers Beach! It is VERY quiet, which was just what we wanted. You could walk on the beach and only see a handful of people which was great. The house is about 1/2 block to the sand, making it super easy for families with children. The house itself was advertised, and Sean was very accommodating and engaged. Overall we had a great stay!

Great visit to a hidden gem
We had a great stay at Sean’s property in Bower’s Beach. It is a great location and incredibly quiet which we loved. Lots of open beach and missing the crazy crowds of more popular beaches down the coast. Sean is a great host and was incredibly responsive throughout the visit from before we checked in to after we checked out. I was pleasantly surprised at the floor plan of the house - it was a great setup for stays with multiple families as there are separate sections of the house with connected bathrooms. This makes it a great place for different families to have their own space while also taking advantage of the large open areas to hang out - two level back deck along with a large open kitchen/dining area.

Spent almost 2 weeks at Captain Quarters. Great time had by all! Bowers Beach had amazing 4th of July fireworks and we learned a lot about horseshoe crabs. Great location for visiting various locations like Philly, DC, Ocean City, Cape May, New Castle, Annapolis and Rehoboth just to name a few place we went. Sean was great and answered any questions we had quickly! If looking for a fun place to visit I would definitely recommend Captain Quarters!

We had an amazing time
The house had plenty of space for everyone and we all had a great time. The neighbors were all very friendly and it felt very welcoming and homey. We found kayak rentals close by and a fantastic restaurant. It's away from all the busy traffic but close enough to everything like Cape Henlopen and Ocean City boardwalk. It is a very short walk to the bay beach and we had so much fun exploring. We would recommend and hope to stay again.
