Cozy, bright and spacious new villa in The Peninsula- 5 star gated community

Recent updates for December/ January include: all new stainless steel kitchen appliances and freshly painted interior. Many more updates are scheduled for the upcoming spring and summer!

Bright and spacious, this home is sure to meet all of your expectations. Comfortable and tastefully decorated in a coastal theme, there will be no guessing that this house was made to inspire good times and relaxation. Our home is in walking distance to the nature trail and biking distance to the clubhouse/pools. Come to the Peninsula and enjoy a resort vacation, full of activities for kids and adults. Golf, tennis, swimming, wave pool, beach as well as a brand new Mini Putt Putt golf area..... too many amenities to list.

When you park in the two car garage, you walk into a mudroom complete with a full size washer and dryer, ironing board and a washtub to rinse out sandy bathing suits. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need; a Keurig coffee maker, toaster over, Ninja blender, Blue tooth docking station/charger, a breakfast bar with stools.
A stocked spice cabinet is there so that you do not have to pack the essentials. The first floor includes a very open floor plan perfect for entertaining or watching over the kids as you make dinner. 50 inch HDTV tv/dvd player with Verizon Fios, DVR and high speed internet. Large dining room table with extension is great for family dinners. Spacious 500 square foot patio complete with lounge chairs and another table perfect for outside dining or reading on a recliner. The first floor also includes a room with a queen bed, and a half bath. Plenty of books and toys, wagon, bikes, big wheel, beach toys and games.
Upstairs you will find 3 well appointed bedrooms. The master includes a king size Temperpedic bed with pillows, large closets, new 50 inch smart tv/dvd player, and Verizon FIOS cable/DVR. Master bath has a large shower, separate toilet, his/her sinks and lots of counter space. Second bedroom has a king bed, full size crib (if needed), lots of windows and closet space. Third bedroom has a queen Temperpedic bed, twin blow up mattress (if necessary), large closet and lots of windows. Full Bathroom with tub and large counter space.
We have an assortment of beach toys, 2 Adult beach cruiser bike, 1 kids bmx bike (6-12 year old), and 2 bikes (good for 2-6year old).

***Linen/towel service to be arranged separately.

***Passes for the pools/fitness center/clubhouse can be purchased at the clubhouse front desk. *********Guest are not allowed at the Pool or the athletic center on Saturday's. In addition, Rental guest have access to the pools and amenities after 10AM) * As for the Saturday restrictions, Check-in during the High season is on Saturday's at 3pm and would not make sense to pay for that day anyway.

***We only rent for full weeks (7+ days) during July and August.

At the Peninsula you get the best of both worlds, the resort-like setting close enough to the hustle and bustle of the beach world and far enough away to feel as though you have really gone on a peaceful vacation.

Paradise stay @ at Peninsula
We had a wonderful stay at the Peninsula. The home was clean and stocked with lots of amenities to enhance our stay. The bikes, beach toys and chairs, and baby gate & crib were a wonderful plus! And the community was amazing. My family loved the pools, pickleball and walking/biking paths!

Great house
The owners were very responsive. Great house but trash was left in drawers, behind televisions and under beds. There were ants upstairs in main bathroom and bedrooms. Contacted owner who said she would send ant traps but they were already there. Needs a professional exterminator. Home now and washing everything.

Another Great Stay at Holly and Don's Place
Our family (4 adults and 2 kids) spent another great week at Holly and Don's Place. This was our second time at the house - a testament to the qualities and comfort of the house. A big plus for families and extended stays: the kitchen is extremely well equipped to cook and even bake.

Another great vacation stay!
This is our 2nd stay at the house and it was another great vacation. The house is beautiful. The new appliances in the kitchen were gorgeous. The house was super clean and very comfortable. The master bathroom with it’s extra large shower is great after a day of going to the beach and shopping. We can’t wait to come back next year!! Thanks so much for having us :)

Week long enjoyable stay
We had a very nice stay at the house. The security was top notch. The house was secured and felt very safe. The house was nicely appointed with lots of space. The bed in the master is very hard. Master bathroom shower was wonderful. Chair and couches in the living room are very comfortable. Kitchen was huge and again worked for our needs. Didn’t get a chance to utilize the amenities, hopefully next time. Owners were very nice and emailed and texted through the whole process in a timely manner.

Wonderful Home at Peninsula
The property was perfect for my family. This charming home was spotless and very comfortable. We were able to enjoy all the perks of the community as well, from the indoor swimming, fitness center, walking trails and club house. Holly is an amazing host and provided a well stocked kitchen with everything you could imagine. Holly made herself available in case we were in need of anything, which we weren't. We will definitely be staying at Holly's home again. I highly recommend this property and I am looking forward to our next trip to Delaware.

House has potential !
Before our trip the owner reached out to address issues in a previous review and reassured me that all of the things listed would be taken care of. This was simply not the case. Upon our arrival security did not have the paperwork we filled out and security indicated this is a common problem with the owners. Owners are responsive, they did have new lounge chair cushions delivered during our stay but they clearly do not visit the property often or care enough to correct many of the issues. House needs a major cleaning and paint job both inside and out. The outside needs a major power wash, patio and front porch are extremely dirty. The biggest problem is the overall cleanliness of the house. We found moldy butter in a butter dish, a ton of opened expired food products in the cabinets and refrigerator. Dirty socks under the couch. Sanitary napkins behind the bed in the master bedroom, hardened candy on carpet and in nightstands in one guest bedroom. 2nd bathroom tub fills up during shower because of a clogged drain. Washing machine smells terrible and dryer takes multiple cycles to dry even the smallest amount of clothes. In addition, the amount of personal items left by the homeowner is uncomfortable. These should be locked up or at least put away in an organized way. When renting a property it should be left with no personal items from the owner or previous renters. I expect to walk in to a rental like my family is the first family there. There are no dressers or mirrors in any of the bedrooms (except master). There are also no blinds on any of the windows and the curtains provided in the bedrooms keep out no light in morning. Beds are literally just a frame and a mattress. The “bedroom” on the main level is literally a mattress on the floor. There are also no hooks to hang towels in the bathrooms, 1 small rod per bathroom is not enough for a house that is suppose to sleep 8+ people. The grill outside is unusable, it is completely rusted out. This house has great potential if it was just taken care of and more thought was put into the bedrooms. The only thing that saves this house is the amenities and security provided by the gated community.

Property needs maintenance but great amenities
Owner was as responsive as he could be over the phone and arranged for plumber (no hot water Saturday-Monday and family drove to clubhouse to shower!) and arranged for delayed trash pickup. Be aware-NO dressers in 3 bedrooms. NO ceiling fans. NO blinds or shades to block morning sun. No screen on patio door. House needs deep cleaning. Oven was disgusting. Light bulbs out in kitchen and stairwell. Open food in pantry and cabinets. Black spot on ceiling in one bedroom needs to be addressed!! Great amenities and pool saved this property from an even lower rating.

Beautiful property
The check in process was simple and the property was as described. It is in a beautiful community. The house is in need of a deep cleaning (Such as the oven) and could have been cleaner overall as it did not appear that all main surfaces were properly wiped upon arrival and there was food/trash left under some of beds and couches. Otherwise, this was a gorgeous property and we intend to return.

Relaxing Getaway
The location of the property is excellent. Within the peninsula the nature trails, walking/biking paths and the fishing piers were so much fun and so accessible. The beach is 20-25 minutes away....we mostly went to Cape Henlopen. Close proximity to the grocery and wine store was nice. The house was well stocked with dishes and utensils (could use few more wine glasses) The layout of the house was perfect for our visit - when there were only two of s and when my daughter and her family visited. The crib was nice to have. The patio and fire pit made for a couple of great evenings of storytelling. My only negative was the amount of open food items in the refrigerator and the kitchen cabinets. Some guests may like to convenience of having access to such items and such. But our grandson has a peanut allergy so we had to be very careful. Overall a very nice 2 weeks away!

Villa vacation at the Peninsula
My family and I had a wonderful and much needed vacation time at the Peninsula. The villa was spacious, had supplies that we needed from cooking family meals to riding bikes on the property. The amenities were also great including the awesome wave pool and kayaking on the private beach. We had a minor issue with ants at the villa but all in all we would definitely go back again and would recommend staying in this home.
