Slaughter Beach is located at 38°55?3?N, 75°18?29?W and has a total area of 1.3 square miles and sits at an elevation of 7 feet. The community was named after William Slaughter, postmaster. Slaughter Beach is a small, private, quiet waterfront community of 133 homes. Close to many activities and conveniences. The entire village sits between the water and the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge and the Milford Neck Wildlife Area. There is one main road and a few side roads that end at the beach which is uncrowded year round. Tourists are attracted to this area for bird watching as many rare species spend spring and early summer at Slaughter Beach including a number of endangered species. The Beach is officially designated as a horseshoe crab sanctuary prompting the town to adopt the horseshoe crab as its official town symbol. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry is 10 miles away (http://www.capemaylewesferry.com/schedfares/schedfares.asp)

Slaughter Beach House Details

Nature Lovers!: Location is perfect for nature lovers! The house sits between the Beach and one of America's largest wildlife refuges. The Prime Hook National Wildlife refuge is over 10,000 acres and is in a key position in the Atlantic flyway hosting hundreds of thousands of migratory birds each year including several rare species and endangered species. Common rare species that birdwatchers come to Slaughter Beach to see are the Red Knot, Ruddy Turnstone, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Sanderling and Dunlin. Slaughter Beach is also host to the largest Horseshoe migration in the U.S. hosting several hundred thousand of the ancient species for about one week each year in mid-May and is a designated Horseshoe crab conservation zone. In fact the horseshoe crab eggs are partially responsible for the mass bird migration as the birds come to feed on the Horseshoe crab eggs

Payment and Deposit: We currently accept payment via personal check. 25% of the rental fee is required to hold a desired reservation timeframe. A $250 security deposit and the remainder of the rental fee is due 4 weeks prior to arriving. The security deposit will be returned within 30 days of checkout after inspection and assuming no damage has been done to the house or property.

Pets and Smoking: We have recently renovated our home and taken many steps to reduce or eliminate allergens including removing carpets, cleaning the HVAC system and installing hepa-filtration filters. We have done this both to allow our enjoyment of this home and to allow others with moderate to severe allergies to do so. As a result, we can not allow any pets inside the home. We also can not allow smoking of any kind within our home. Any evidence of either will automatically result in forfeit of the entire deposit. The cost of eliminating the result of smoking or pets (i.e. HVAC cleaning, carpet removal, steam cleaning) will also be the responsibility of the renter.

Golf: The Rookery 18-hole, 71 par golf course is less than 10 miles away in Milton off of Route 1. See more information at http://www.rookerygolf.com or call (866) 313-GOLF. They offer online tee-times, a pro-shop and a full service restaurant. The Shawnee Country Club, a private 18-hole, PGA rated course is also available with membership. MIlford is also home to the Putt-A-Rosa Mini Golf Ranch for those interested in a family miniature golf outing.

Other Activities: bird watching, horseshoe crab migration
