I am very proud to announce our achievement of Premier Partner Status! As you will read in our reviews we are a true rental by owner...not some LLC or management company. You interact direct with the owner (me). This is our house, our mortgage and our effort that bring a great experience to our guests. Thank you to all our past and future guests for making this achievement possible! 😁🏖️😎 -Tom
Update 9/19/21 - The pool is closed for the season. Beaches are always open though :-)
Update 2/11/21 - Well.....2020 sucked...It’s been hard on all of us. I have to say, though, that our guest interaction during Covid was spectacular. Communication is key and our guests knocked it out of the park. We modified our listing to include a professional cleaning/sterilization service on every stay vs formerly allowing guests the option to clean on their own. This gives piece of mind that best efforts to provide every visitor a clean and safe home to enjoy themselves. We are looking forward to our 2021 season as vaccinations continue to roll out and restrictions are eased. Bring on the sun!! Bring on the summer!!!!
Update 4/15/19 - Good golly time flies! We we're blessed with having some of the most wonderful guests this past summer, fall and winter. I continue to enjoy interacting with folks from all over the world and wouldn't change a thing. Off-season improvements include upgraded kitchen items, brand new outdoor shower and foot wash, boogie boards, new Roku Streaming Stick Plus, Hulu (in addition to Netflix and our Amazon Prime library) and some fun new decorations. Feel free to reach out to me with questions, I usually respond within an hour!
5/3/18 - What a pleasure getting to know those that enjoyed Mallard Lakes over the winter and early spring! Every guest has been respectful of our home treating it as if it were their own. I couldn't ask for a better experience renting out our little slice of Fenwick Island. The community is beautiful right now with budding trees, freshly mulched flower beds and baby water fowl running about. Come check it out! Update
1/10/18 - A big shout out to our Fall renters who enjoyed ideal beach weather and fantastic fishing/crabbing. We are receiving daily inquiries/bookings for the Spring and Summer. If you are considering us don't delay and lose out on your chance to stay at Whats Up Dock! Update
9/5/17 - We blinked and the summer has come and gone! Thank you so much to our amazing group of summer guests who were so satisfied with their experience that they are already booking their 2018 vacation! The fall rates are a great value and there is plenty of good beach and boardwalk weather left. Update
6/21/17 - We've had an amazing inaugural rental season with lots of positive feedback. Many thanks to our past renters and looking forward to working with the new ones! Don't forget you can book up to a year in advance so lock in the dates you want for next year's vacation!
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in "Whats Up Dock". A 2 BR 1.5 bath townhome in the family friendly Mallard Lakes Community. Our home is clean, smoke free and child friendly. It receives fresh updates and has been professionally decorated. Perfect for a quick weekend getaway or a month's long retreat.
Location
"Whats Up Dock" provides three necessary parts to anchor (pun intended) your vacation; location, space and comfort. The home is a part of the Mallard Lakes Community which is close enough to enjoy Fenwick Island, Ocean City, Rehoboth Beach, but far enough away from the craziness of “condo canyon”. The grounds and amenities are meticulously maintained year round. We provide the best rental location in Mallard Lakes, just steps to the main swimming pool, hot tub and tennis courts. The home is not buried deep in the community, easy in and easy out. There is a marina within walking distance with restaurants and shops. Easy traffic light entrance and exit eliminates turning headaches during the busy summer season.
Waterfront Sunroom
Did someone say waterfront? Oh yes I did. The sunroom frames direct unobstructed views of the the dock amidst the sparkling sapphire lake while a diverse species of coastal wildlife put on a show for you. Complimentary adult and child binoculars are provided along with a local bird guide. When you are done prop up your feet and allow the fountain to lull you into that long overdue nap! The sunroom is also wired for music with Infinity speakers. Just sync your smart device with the bluetooth stereo receiver and stream away using our complimentary high speed wifi.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The tastefully appointed waterview master suite features a king sized bed with an attached bathroom. Inside there are 2 large skylights that provide an abundance of natural light, a dual sink vanity and oversized soaking tub with upgraded shower hardware. The second bedroom contains a bunk bed with single mattresses and a full sized pillow top bed. Each bedroom is equipped with a wall mounted flat screen tv with expanded cable including HBO. The first floor offers a 2 piece powder room off the kitchen.
Kitchen
In the kitchen you will find a breakfast bar with stools and all of the cooking conveniences you should expect; clean and current appliances, quality pots and pans, cooking utensils, grilling utensils, complete knife set, flatware and matching dish set. Wine, beer, margarita & tumbler glasses round out the glassware offerings. Children's plates, bowls, cups and utensils are also stocked.
Living Room
Enjoy lake views from the living room as you relax on the sleeper sofa or lounge in the armchair and ottoman. Even in the summer you can enjoy the ambiance of the remote controlled heat-free fireplace. Enjoy your favorite shows and movies on the large flat screen tv with expanded cable including HBO. There is a ROKU installed with complimentary access to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Guests are welcome to view purchased videos in our Amazon library and may rent videos after requesting pin code from owner (cost will be retained from security deposit). Are you an audiophile? Let the premium Bose sound system fill the room with perfection after you sync your bluetooth device to the Sherwood stereo receiver (capable of sending music to living room, sunroom or both).
