Captains Quarters
We had a wonderful time at the Captains Quarters. The house was as advertised and very clean. Its location was central to our activities. JP Wharf restaurant was very close (walking distance) and food there was excellent. We highly recommend this VRBO.

Great location and house
We had a wonderful relaxing stay at this great home! It was steps to the beach and their recommendation for JP’s was also great. The beds were super comfortable. Lovely home with great communication from the owner! Only negative was the taste/ smell of the water but we just had bottled water and it wasn’t a problem at all.

We stayed in Bowers for a lacrosse tournament at DE Turf Fields; I recommend it - very convenient! The house and location made it more like a vacation than a tournament weekend 🙂. Great access to the water. The property manager was very responsive and accommodating!

Great place first for a family trip
The Captain’s Quarters afforded us a wonderful beach trip. Plenty of room for everyone and more than enough bathrooms. I’ll miss master bath! The house was conveniently located close to the beach. The kids had a great time in the Bay.

Captain's Quarters Rocks!
This is our second stay at Captian's Quarters as part of the annual American Select girls lacrosse showcase event. We comfortably slept 4 families and enjoyed all the amenities and upgrades the owner did since our last visit. The little community of Bowers Beach is great for a quick beach run, excellent food, and a fun night time tavern for adults; all within a 5 minute walk. Sean is a great owner and very responsive to anything you need.

Great beach house
We stayed at this beach house for a short weekend in February. It was a beautiful house with everything you need for a large family. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. And only one block to the beach! Mattresses were comfortable and brand new.
