Roomy w/Easy Beach Access
This home accommodated our three generation family very well. The upstair's suit was perfect for our gaggle of kids! Its location is walkable to the beach and it also has a pretty view of the bay. :) (It is right beside Hwy 1, which is a bit noisy.) Overall I would recommend this property!

House location was amazing, but constant beach traffic on the road made sitting outside abit unenjoyable. The house was perfect for the size of our party. we ran into some few small issues, but the property manager/owner were very responsive.

Great home but some things need fixed
Place was great but some things needed fixed. The decks outside the kitchen (1)and the living room (2)had spindles that were loose and we had infants who could have gone through them. Also had 2 kitchen lights above the bar that the bulbs were blown. Also light on 3rd floor steps was blown also. The edge of king size bed in the master bedroom stuck out further than the mattress and we hit that many times and my wife hit it hard enough once to cause a huge bruise. We moved the bed further away from bathroom to see if that helped and it did but still did it again. Building is near the highway, which we knew ahead of time. It was noisy in the evening a good bit. Overall, it was a great week with our family !
We enjoyed being close to the beach, and also being close to Dewey, Rehoboth and Bethany.

Bethany Holiday August 2023
Oyster Cove is a perfect spot for large families to stay. We enjoyed the spacious living areas, kids bunk room and quick beach access. We had a beautiful view of sunsets on the sound. The unit provides lots of beach toys, chairs and an umbrella. The extra fridge on the lower level was great for drinks and food. We would stay there again!

We had a wonderful time at Oyster Cove. The property was lovely and you can't beat the proximity to the beach and one of our favorite spots, Matt's Fish Camp. The owners were very responsive, although we had no issues during our stay.

Not for clean freaks
The house is nice, we were all comfortable and had a good time. The kid’s room on the third floor was especially great. It’s worth noting this is the very first house in the neighborhood, so closest to the highway (kind-of noisy) and furthest from the beach. Our main gripe is that overall, the house was not clean. The check out procedures put the burden of cleaning on the guests and the state of the dishes, floors, counters, table tops, and quilts/pillow shams had us all wondering whether basic cleaning occurred between guests. The bottoms of our feet were black within a few hours of arriving. Outlets in the house didn’t seem to work consistently, a stopper for one of the bath tubs was missing, there was only 1 broken spatula in the kitchen. Minor, but annoying. I’d love to stay in this neighborhood again, but I might try another house.

House layout is excellent for large family
House worked really well for our family!!
Quick walk to beach and room to spread out. Evenings on beach were fantastic!!
Only drawback is as others have said, the highway right next to the house was quite loud. Also, I know they are trying to turn the house over each week but should spend some time working on outside decks and basement.

We were very pleased with Oyster Cove. Wonderful layout but too many steps for our older adults. Great access to the private beach. When we left today we didn't know where the week went, we would've loved to stay another week.

Thanksgiving weekend
The property was very spacious and accommodated 9 adults and 5 kids. We enjoyed our stay but the property was not cleaned before our arrival. Sofa bed was dirty. As was the floor. Vents on the wall are black and full of dirt. Also the property is right on the coastal hwy so if you are looking for a good nights sleep it won’t happen. It sounds like you are sleeping on the hwy. Apart from the property’s location and cleanliness, overall we had a good time

Clean bright house, very nice. Spacious living room and kitchen. It was right next to the highway so there was some noise from the traffic, but it didn't keep us from enjoying our stay. The owner was very friendly when I spoke to her about a maintenance issue and it was addressed promptly.
