This Delaware Airbnb Has the Most Underrated Fishing Spot

The Rehoboth Bay House in Harbeson has fishing, fun, and room for the whole family.

I spent many childhood summers vacationing at Rehoboth Beach. Year after year, my parents, brother, and I would drive from New Hampshire to Delaware to meet my grandparents at a special local rental that became our summer home for two weeks each year. These family trips were filled with lazy days at the beach and nightly strolls along the boardwalk. I have fond memories of watching my grandfather fish in the ocean and teaching us how to catch crabs in the bay. We would later gather around the rental’s picnic table and dine on a big seafood feast.

I haven't been back to Rehoboth in years, but would love to return someday and relive the relaxing summers of my childhood. Although our yearly family rental his long since been torn down, there are some equally amazing vacation properties in the area. One such rental, the Rehoboth Bay House in Harbeson, even features great fishing right from the home’s private dock. Let me tell you all about this outstanding Airbnb.

Much like the beloved vacation home of my childhood summers, the Rehoboth Bay House is a big, roomy rental that has plenty of room for an extended family or large group of friends to gather and make memories. The spacious home is set on a peninsula, so guests have lots of privacy. The home also offers comfort, modern amenities, and plenty of fun extras. 

This highly-rated rental can accommodate up to 12 guests. With six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. A large living area, a full modern kitchen, a gorgeous sunroom, and two separate porches are just a few of the rooms worth mentioning. The entire home is cheerfully decorated to provide a cozy and comfortable space.

But the outside of the property is what really sets it apart from other rentals. Set on a grassy lawn, this Airbnb backs right up to the water, giving way to stunning views and fantastic fishing and crabbing. If you are lucky, you just might catch your dinner right from the home’s private dock! 

There are outdoor games for everyone to enjoy, and kids will love playing basketball or swinging on the outside play structure. Guests can also use the home’s kayaks and bicycles. The backyard hammock is a favorite spot to take a nap or read a book while gazing out at the water.

And then there is the beach, or I should say beaches. Both Lewes and Rehoboth Beaches are located nearby and offer endless opportunities for relaxation, fun, and even more great fishing. Be sure to check out the various local fishing charters and the boardwalk games, rides, and delicious food
