Cheerful Townhouse with beach&pool&gym
The house was beautiful and in a great location! It was wonderful with young families to be able to walk to the pool and the neighborhood was very nice. Close to shops and restaurants, and overall a very comfortable home.

2 BR 2BA North Ocean City Condo
Adorable condo in a quiet part of Ocean City within walking distance of the beach. Host was kind enough to allow use of bikes, bogey boards and beach chairs. Would come again!

Beach House on the MD-DE Border of Ocean City!
We had a great time at Karan’s place. It was clean and beautiful, in the perfect location. Unfortunately, the previous guest misplaced the pool key but Karan was apologetic and worked hard to get us access to the pool when we needed it. We had a great time and would definitely visit again.

Water Front Apartment
Such a lovely place, my husband and I loved it. Skip and Lea are amazing people and their hospitality is wonderful. Skip came out to say goodbye to us on our last day and we had great conversation, and they offered us eggs from their beautiful chicken coop! Thank you both, have an amazing summer and we’ll be back next year. Blessings.

Canal Front Fenwick Island
Clean, family friendly area, great proximity to beach and restaurants. Jake is friendly and answers any questions promptly.

Brand New Luxury 4BR Home w Pool & Steps to Ocean
Beautiful condo! Went for a boys golf trip. The kitchen and living room area was perfect for all 8 of us to hangout at night and watch sports. Only down side was you had to rent linens and bath towels but was clearly communicated once you booked. Would 100% stay there again

Luxury Oceanfront Getaway!
Shiri's condo is very clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. The king-size bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is complete and well furnished. I was grateful that the icemaker in the freezer actually worked and the table lamps had charging ports in the bases - nice touches. The view from the balcony is directly over the beach. The high red deck chairs are a stroke of inspiration, as they put your sightline above the railing. We had poor weather, so didn't spend much time on the beach, but it would have been great with the sun. The building is very large and is one of many such buildings along the shore. The main drag is a conglomeration of these very large apartment/condo buildings, restaurants, and beach-oriented shops. We were there in May so it was pretty quiet, but I'm sure the place is hopping in full season. Shiri was a terrific host. I had a couple of questions that she answered immediately and graciously. All in all a great place for a beach vacation.

Unobstructed views of the ocean
We had such a nice time at Victoria's home over Memorial Day weekend. The home was beautifully decorated and felt light and airy. It was a perfect beach retreat. The welcome bags were also a really nice touch. The beach views and easy access were incredible. We look forward to staying again! Highly recommend :)

Your guide to Fenwick Island
Welcome to Fenwick Island
Thanks to its windswept dunes, abundant marshland, and historic lighthouses, this tiny barrier island is a favored Atlantic coast retreat. Unlike Ocean City, its bustling neighbor across the New Jersey border, life on Fenwick Island moves at a slower pace. The Fenwick Island Boardwalk preserves the town's old-school charm with mom-and-pop souvenir stores, classic sweet shops, and locally produced foods. Meanwhile, a mini-golf course and a water park pack in family-friendly fun.
For wilder adventures and more leisurely pursuits, Fenwick Island State Park offers surfing, water sports, and spectacular sunsets. On its western side you’ll find kayaks and paddleboards to rent. In the evenings, the quiet streets fill with the scent of freshly caught seafood, and the DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum and Fenwick Island’s 87-foot tall lighthouse tell the story of Delaware’s maritime history. Bethany Beach, a stretch of golden sand six miles north of the town center, offers swimming and sunbathing, open-air concerts, and movies on the beach.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fenwick Island
While the town attracts visitors year-round, schedule your trip during summertime to experience peak Fenwick Island experiences. The warmest month of the year is July, with consistent sunshine ideal for cooling off in the Atlantic. This makes it the most popular time for swimming, sailing, windsurfing, and crabbing. Umbrellas and loungers are available for rent during this season. September is a great time to visit, as the weather is still reliably pleasant, the waters are warmer, and the summer crowds have thinned out. The crisp fall air settles in around late September before slowly giving way to icy winter. Winter is not a popular time to visit Fenwick, as the beaches are the main draw and winters bring snow and below-freezing temperatures.
Top things to do in Fenwick Island
Fenwick Island State Park
The 344-acre Fenwick Island State Park stretches along the Atlantic Ocean between Maryland and Delaware. During World War II, it served as a military defense barrier. Today, this classic beachfront strip of undulating dunes, powdery white sand, and panoramic views is a popular spot for sunbathing, beachcombing, and surf fishing in the tidal waters.
Fenwick Island Lighthouse
The Fenwick Island Lighthouse is a historical must-see. Built in 1858, it’s the oldest lighthouse in the state and was used to help ships navigate the dangerous Fenwick Shoals, where many vessels have sunk. Since then, the 87-foot-tall brick tower has transitioned from a functional site to a symbol of Delaware’s maritime past, attracting visitors for photos and a closer look at Fenwick’s history.
Hit the water
Rich in marine life and scenic views, Fenwick Island’s waters are popular for kayaking, sailing, and stand-up paddleboarding. Nearby salt marshes are perfect for kayaking and wildlife watching for the likes of crabs, ospreys, and egrets. Sunset is the ideal time to charter a sailboat or catamaran tour on the open water with a local outfitter.
