About this property

SOUTH BOWERS ISLAND -' DIRECT BEACHFRONT' -

'THE IGUANA HOUSE'

Located in South Bowers Beach Island directly on the beach and located at the widest point of the Delaware Bay, approx 28 miles across to NJ, this Island home offers something very special that the large resorts don't have, peace and quiet.

Step right onto the sand from this beautiful beach home. If fishing is your thing, cast your line into the water and fresh fish are yours for breakfast or dinner, fishing license required.

You can put your small boat or kayak in the water right off the beach and explore local tributaries where you will find not only the serenity of a wilderness-like landscape but also many species of fish and crabs. Children can ride bikes on the quiet Island road, roller blade or play on the beach, collecting shells and sea glass and be amazed at the site of prehistoric horseshoe crabs that migrate to this area from South America.

Let the sun rising over the Bay and the sound of sea birds wake you in the morning and the gentle rustle of the Bay lapping at the beach lull you to sleep. Enjoy the 'Quiet Life', come to South Bowers Island...

Our 2023 yearly vacation
Everything was perfect. The house was clean well equiped with dishes and cookware. Shopping for groceries was with in a short distance of the house. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We rescued a couple of Horseshoe crabs by turining them right side up so they could get back in the water. The week went way to fast and it was sad to have to leave. We wouldn't hesitate to spend another vacation at your rental. Thanks for a wonderful vacation My 3 girls and Me we

Great beach getaway
This property was everything that we could ask for. Extremely clean, plenty of space for a large family, and great ocean views. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with this property and it’s owners. If you are questioning if this is your place for a awesome vacation, look no further.

Home away from home
This was our second year here and we couldn't be more happy! We enjoyed the sand on the beach and Margo was very quick to answer any question we may have had. We went to JP's again and it doesn't disappoint. All had a great week, we hope to be back next year! Kathy

Relaxation off the beaten path
This was a fantastic find for our family. We were looking for a beach vacation in the Delaware area but also did not want to fight the crowds. This was the perfect solution for us. The view off of the back deck was amazing. There are only a handful of other homes along this particular stretch of beach so there were no crowds at all. This made walking the beach very pleasant which we did every day. The house is clean and as advertised (actually the inside is even nicer and roomier than the pictures!) Patrick was very easy to work with and very quick to respond to a couple of questions we had during the week. There are a couple of good seafood restaurants nearby that we ate at; enjoying steamed crabs from Medings and a number of nice dishes from JP's on the Warf. I would not hesitate staying here again.
