This was a comfortable, clean house, with a great location for doing a variety of activities. From here we were able to do several days at the beach, visit Philadelphia for a day and take a ferry to Cape May. This was in addition to enjoying the small town of Bowers by bike! We were close to the DE Turf where we were working on the weekend and the house was great for my husband to work from for a few days while we were here. I wish we would have gotten a picture of our paddle boards on top of the suri, that was a family favorite. ##### Krista L.

Bowers beach in town was also great, clean, and never busy. The property was very clean, fully equipped, and in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. Check in was simple, communicating w/ host was easy and host was quick to respond. Host left details and helpful info about the home, area, food and shopping etc. which was appreciated.
