About Steve Rohrs, Mary Rohrs

We are Maryland residents who fell in love with the Delaware shore. We built our home for our retirement years. We are very active and enjoy kayaking, road biking and nature photography.

Steve Rohrs, Mary Rohrs purchased this house in 2007
Why Steve Rohrs, Mary Rohrs chose Bowers Beach

Our home is a sanctuary from everyday stress. Taking long walks on the beach and watching the shorebirds is very relaxing. Sitting on the deck with a good book is a dream. Our home is close enough to stores and shopping, Dover is only 10 miles away.

What makes this house unique

The layout of our home offers unobstructed views of the Delaware bay. Bowers Beach is close enough to plan day trips to Rehobeth beach or the town of Lewes without being stuck in the kaos of traffic and crowds

Two Weeks of Relaxation and Amazing Beach Views

5 of 5
Submitted: September 5, 2009 Stayed: August 2009
The website does not do the house justice. It is just amazing. You cant want for anything in the house. The location on the bay is great and we very much enjoyed the daily walks on the beach, the low and high tides and the quietness of the area. Bowers Beach is about 30 minutes north of Lewes and Rehobeth Beach. It was a one hour drive to Ocean City MD as well. We had no trouble traveling to all the craziness in Ocean City and Rehobeth, having a great time and then returning home to the tranquility of the house and the bay. We would highly recommend jet skiing at least once. It was a highlight!! Our family 2 adults plus 3 kids ages 10,10 and 8 enjoyed our stay. We did lots of bike rides and walks and just generally enjoyed not being "home". Dealing with the owners was breeze, they were very responsive and worked with us on the dates we were interested in spending at the house. Just a suggestion, get your supplies prior to coming to the house as there is no store in Bowers. We went to Dover which is only 15 minutes north of the house where there is everything you need. If you like to fish there are charter boats that leave everyday from Bowers Beach. You can also fish off the beach. On a nice night try JP WHARFS for dinner. They are in Bowers and on the water. Nice outside deck and great fish. The only thing that we were disappointed in was that we could not have stayed longer.

Great Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: August 9, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
As our oldest daughter heads off to college in a few weeks, we were looking for a great family getaway. We have three daughters ages 9 to 19. Mary and Steve's house was the best. It was spacious, comfortable, spotless and an all-around great housing design - absolutely beautiful. I called to ask about what games were on hand as we were looking for family activities and had limited space to pack for our trip. Mary and Steve responded by stocking the house with an assortment of games and puzzles as well as beach toys and accessories. We had a fabulously relaxing vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the recommended activity list, especially getting over to Fifer Orchards. The peach and blueberry pie that we made upon returning home was outstanding! Thank for an outstanding week.
Owner's Response: We are thrilled that your family enjoyed our vacation home in Bowers Beach Delaware. It is a pleasure to give our guests an outstanding time away from the hustle and bussle of the daily grind! Getting back to the simple joys of nature, leasurely walks and quiet family time creates memories that last a lifetime! It sounds like your family will have joyful memories of your time at our home in Bowers Beach.
Thank you for treating our house like your own!

Amazing House, Peaceful Location

5 of 5
Submitted: June 2, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
We booked this house for a relatively last-minute Memorial Day weekend getaway for our family (two adults, three children between ages 4-10). We wanted someplace within a short drive of Philadelphia, ideally near the water, but without all of the crowds of the Shore or Poconos.

We hit the jackpot. Steve and Mary were extremely accomodating setting the house up on short notice and even had a lovely welcome basket waiting for us, along with great information about the many local wildlife areas and restaurants. The house is beautiful and roomy, and literally on the beach.

It was a fun time to be there -- horeshoe crabs in mating season, turtles laying eggs, and fascinating birds everywhere. Low tide is very low and the kids loved walking out to "islands" each morning and interacting with the birds and wildlife. During high tide you could actually swim a bit, if so inclined.

Very quiet town, but that was just what we wanted. Spent part of 1 day in Bombay Hook Refuge which was neat but VERY buggy. That is the only issue we had -- when it got hot (and it was over 90 2 of our 3 days) and the wind died, lots of nippy bugs. But we put spray on and kept playing on the beach.

Tried the only restaurant in town -- JP's Wharf. Food and location very good, service was very slow. Ate at Frederica Pizza at the owner's suggestion, it was excellent.

If you want a very mellow, very private alternative to the crowded ocean beaches, give this a shot. We hope to be back.

Peaceful Getaway Home

5 of 5
Submitted: August 15, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
If you are looking to get away from it all, this is the place for you. We rented this property for a week in August 2011 and one week was just not enough.

The house is lovely and even better than pictured, if that is possible; the beach is quiet with dramatic tides, warm water and great breezes. Good for for enjoying the peaceful bay. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need. Everything in the house is new, fresh, and immaculate. The owners take pride in their home and it really shows. They are friendly, responsive, and extremely easy to deal with. This is a great home for a family and the beach is great for little (and big) ones.

It’s a nice beach-walk into the center of Bowers and to JP’s Seafood. If you go in the morning you can see the fishermen unloading their boats with baskets full of blue crabs. The town itself is quaint and unspoiled, very friendly, and low-key. There is no store or post office, but a visit to the Maritime Museum is fun if you like old photos and maritime history. It was fascinating to learn about Bowers in the 19th century and how it was a summer resort for Philadelphians. Biking is easy on the flat country roads with interesting side roads to explore. Plenty of solitude if that is what you are after.

If you want more action you can take the highway north to Dover or south to Lewes and Rehoboth. Henlopen State Park is worth the trip. (about 35 minutes). We did venture out a few times but honestly enjoyed this little oasis and often opted to just stay put.

If you are looking to avoid the “resort mayhem”, Bowers Beach is a great place and this home is a beautiful choice.

Our best time (so far) in the US!

5 of 5
Submitted: September 16, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
We, (a South African family, temporarily stationed in Washington DC for 2 years), had a fantastic time at this house in Bower’s Beach. As other reviewers have commented, the house is absolutely beautiful (as in the pictures), well equipped and SUPER CLEAN. We enjoyed the quietness of the area, long walks on the beach and around the village – just what the doctor ordered for us to completely relax from fast-paced Washington (& the work-stresses).

We have used the house as a base to explore the USA (or at least as far as our kids allowed us to drive!). We drove down all the way to Assateague island, explored Ocean City MD (enjoyed crab at a local restaurant, ate funnel cake on the Boardwalk) and had many scenic vistas as we drove through Rehoboth, Lewes etc. We visited the historic sites and enjoyed the good food/restaurants and (my wife!) the shopping in Dover. We also explored in a Northern direction, spend a day in New Jersey and on another day drove through the beautiful Amish countryside around Gap and Intercourse in Pennsylvania.

This house truly was a comfortable “home”, but also a nice “base” for us to explore a tiny part of the immense beauty that the USA has to offer. We would highly recommend this house to everyone – thus far, the 2 weeks in Bower’s Beach was a highlight of our time here in the USA! Our family, 2 adults & 2 daughters (aged 3 yrs and 8 months respectively) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Also, dealing with the owners was breeze.
