Holiday Rentals In Delaware

Welcome to our selection of holiday rentals in Delaware.

The very first state to officially join what is now known as the United States, Delaware borders not only Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but also the Atlantic Ocean and is actually a Mid-Atlantic state within the United States.

With such attractions as the World's Largest Frying Pan in Wilmington, or Miles the Monster at the Dover International Speedway, however, if you want to learn the history of Air Mobility, why not visit the Air Mobility Command Museum. The Museum allows you to get close to some of Americas most important historical aircraft and hosts exhibits on a variety of subjects including mid-air refueling, the Korean War, bombs used in the B-17 and the “Berlin Airlift” exhibit which gives a detailed account of the humanitarian effort in 1948 to supply Berlin with the things needed to keep the city going after the Soviet Union blockaded rail, road and waterways between east and west Berlin.

Other museums you can enjoy include the Delaware Agricultural Museum & Village, which shows its visitors what life was like for farmers in the 19th century and the Museum of American Art, which displays collections of American works and sketches from artists and explorers such as Titan Peale who collected thousands of insects and new plant species during is explorations and drew many sketches of what he encountered.

For those who seek adventures outdoors, the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge offers an opportunity for nature lovers to see a range of birds, mammals and reptiles. The refuge is an important stopping place for many birds during their migrations and walking or auto tours through the area are provided.

At the present time we are sorry but we do not have any holiday rentals available in Delaware.
