Beautiful Waterfront in Fenwick, Dock, Beach, Bikes, Kayaks, SUPs, Fish, Linens

This beautiful Fenwick Island 4 bedroom house is directly on the water & just two blocks to the pristine private beaches of the Quiet Resort. The quaint beach is perfect for families with less crowds than nearby towns.

The Cottage on Glenn boasts newly updated appliances, new windows, and is fully air conditioned with new HVAC units throughout all floors! The property includes so many thoughtful extras, including all your linen needs, it makes your packing for vacation a breeze!

Enjoy nightly sunsets on the bay with wine from your very own decks while sneaking out in early morning for sunrise on the ocean with coffee. Just a few steps from local cuisine, local bars, quaint shops, sweets, water park and miniature golf!

The Cottage on Glenn offers parking for 5 vehicles. A ground floor garage stocked with extras to lighten your packing and increase your fun such as 10 beach bikes, fishing poles for bay and surf, crab pots and hand lines, nets, variety beach chairs, wagon, beach carts, rolling coolers, umbrellas, strollers for the young folks, and assorted beach body boards, toys and sports games.

Take full advantage of living on the water by enjoying the bay or local water ways by family kayaks, canoe, stand up paddle boards (SUP), fishing, crabbing or just float in your own backyard! Bring your own boat to tie up at your own personal dock or rent one close by for the week! Take nightly bike rides to the local Kohrs ice cream or Fisher's Carmel corn or morning rides to Surf Bagel and Duncan Donuts as well as many local restaurants and activities! Want to golf? The Cottage on Glen is close to dozens of highly rated golf courses!

Complete with an additional, large lighted outdoor shower to wash that sand and salt away and a third private half bath for quick access from outdoors play and indoor activity area! You can be having fun in the sun crabbing or fishing in your own backyard all day with little need to go upstairs. Ping pong, darts, and Hooks ring toss, are just inside in the recreation area complete with full fridge, microwave, and Kuerig coffee maker for your convenience! Just outside enjoy tetherball, horse shoes, corn hole or bocce ball!

The main living floor offers an open concept living, dining, and kitchen space. Brand new motion seating for everyone and a flat screen TV in livingroom are a great option for rainy days (not to mention the fully stocked puzzle, novel, toy, and classic game collection). The dining room provides seating for 10 plus both a restaurant style high chair for toddlers and a reclining high chair for infants. There are table cloths and placemats so you are ready to eat in style with a beautiful view of the sun setting over the bay! The open kitchen is stocked with dishes for 12 and cooking supplies (crab cooking pots, pots, pans, utensils), new appliances, as well as small appliances (coffee pot, coffee grinder, and Keurig, toasters, blender, Nutribullets (2 sizes), crock pots, (2 sizes) orange crusher).
The kitchen opens easily to the back decks complete with comfy loveseat table, bistro table, and grill. The screened in porch provides ample space and table to enjoy outdoor meals or a nightly crab feast in the evening. This is a beautiful space to just sit and relax with wine or coffee with friends and family in the comfy seating area. Off of the screened porch is a playroom stocked with toys, puzzles and games for young and old! Oh the tales of late night games on the table in the porch! We have supplied you with all those family favorites even you have forgotten about!

Interested in bringing your boat or renting one for the week close by? You could easily tie it up to our dock providing you and your family easy access to fun on the water!

The main floor also offers a full bathroom with shower, two bedrooms both with flatscreens - one with a queen-sized bed and the other with a twin daybed and lifting trundle to make a king-sized bed. The main floor sleeps four making The Cottage on Glenn the perfect option for a family of four, or multiple families looking for a little separation.

The second floor living space offers two additional bedrooms and bath, not to mention the most stunning views in both East and West directions through brand new windows! You don't want to miss these views! The east facing bedroom offers a queen bed and recliner with a view of one of the water, as well as the roof tops stretching towards the ocean and beach beyond. The west facing bedroom provides four twin beds (not bunks) each with own reading lights and nightstands and a view of the bay, shore beyond and gorgeous sunsets. This brings the total sleeping capacity to 10 beds plus two porta cribs and a juvenile bed.

Perfect Beach Getaway
Our family loved our stay at the Cottage Glenn. The cottage was clean, quiet, convenient to the beach, and had every beach essential we could’ve needed. My children loved fishing and crabbing and being able to bike around the bike around the beautiful neighborhood.

Great long weekend
We stayed at Kim's for a high school friend's wedding. The house is fully equipped with everything you'd ever need. Kim was very good at communicating when we had a slight issue checking in, and how to take care of the house during a storm. We would love to come back with our toddler to make use of all of the beach items we weren't able to use this time I'd definitely recommend staying here when in Fenwick!

Golf weekend
Have been coming to Fenwick Island for over 20 years with friends for weekend of golf, fun & relaxation. This house was perfect for group of 5 and was a true beach house/cottage. Beautiful & clean house that is nicely upgraded with original detail as well. Front deck and back screened in porch/deck gives you nice water views. Everything you need is here. Kim was a fantastic host!

Great Property and Owner
Kim was a wonderful hostess. She was very responsive and accommodating of requests (e.g. provided two extra bikes and provided additional adult size flotation vests for our 3 adult children). The property was in great shape, good internet, and a perfect location within easy walking distance to the beach (with a convenient traffic light to make it easier to cross busy Rt. 1), restaurants, and shops. We were able to launch our kayaks from her dock easily enough and she provided 3 kayaks to use. Great time.

What a gem!
Where do I start?? Everything about The Cottage on Glenn is perfect for a summer getaway to the Delaware shores. The cottage's location is tucked into a great neighborhood right on the bay and only a short (6 minutes) walk to the beach and easy walks or drives to restaurants, bars and stores. You can watch the sun come up from the back deck on the water and the sun set from the porch swing on the front deck with a cocktail! The house itself is perfect for both couples or families. Large, bright fully stocked kitchen and large dining area that blends into the living area. We used bedrooms on both floors and each stayed cool from the central air, window units (upstairs) and ceiling fans in every room. You might not even need them if you open the sliders on the back and front porches, the breeze literally flows through the house. You won't find a rental with more amenities and equipment for a true beach vacation. Multiple bikes, dozens of beach chairs, games, towels, beach toys, wagons, umbrellas, sun tents, fishing poles, and the list goes on and on. Kim has this house set up especially well for families. We stayed at the Cottage with our 2 year old and Kim made sure we had games, toys, a toddler bike, and even beach accessories for our daughter, not to mention providing a portable pack and play plus mattress and linens for us so we didn't have to travel with them. The house is clean, welcoming and perfect for any time spent in Fenwick - it's a must rental!! Trust me!

Fabulous Fenwick Island cottage and hosts!
Best stay at the beach ever! Kim provides everything as described and then some. Welcome basket of snacks, water, and a useful items you might not have thought to bring. Complimentary wine and cocktail mixes. The presentation of amenities is so welcoming. The house is perfectly situated for lagoon, beach, biking, and family fun. Kim replies to every and question promptly and with enthusiasm. Thank you Kim (and Kevin) for a memorable week + 2 complimentary days. We cant wait to return next year!!

The Cottage on Glenn
Awesome!!! We stayed at the Cottage on Glenn for a long weekend and wished we could stay longer! This property had everything you could possibly want on your beach vacation-bikes for all ages, coolers, beach carts, games, kayaks, SUP, tether ball, sand toys, the list goes on and on. You just need to pack your clothes and sunblock; they even supplied the best beach towels. The house was well stocked inside as well. Our family of 5 had plenty of room to spread out. Kim was an excellent host and no detail was overlooked. We will definitely be back.

Review week of 7/20/2024
We had an amazing time in this beautifully decorated fun beach house. There was plenty of room for everyone and the amenities are unbelievable. Everything you need (cooking utensils; dinnerware; bicycles; canoes; snacks in a basket; really nice makeup remover individual packets; nice soft cotton sheets, beach towels, wifi - I am probably missing a 100 items). The outdoor shower is amazing - I never showered inside all week.
