Delaware Beachfront Private Getaway on the Bay

Free Wi-Fi! The Cottage has cold A/C and is heated during colder months. Enjoy surf fishing. Bring your own boat, jet skis, kayak, or Jon boat and beach chairs. Free Wi-Fi!

Fenced yard for dogs. Shower off the sand in the Bath(Shed)House. Laundry & bathroom are available in Bath(Shed)House. However, Shed House is Winterized during the months of, Dec, Jan, Feb & March. So no water usage, no second bathroom.

Awesome porch/great room, perfect for entertaining! Listen to the soothing waves or relax by the fire pit under a starlit night sky. Witness beautiful sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean and in the evening, see stunning sunsets over the refuge wetlands.

Go back in time in this quaint 1960's beach cottage. Enjoy the simple life! No crowds, no boardwalks, no shopping or restaurants on the beach. No stress, no worries. Private and quiet. Perfect artist retreat.

Perfect relaxing getaway
This charming cottage is ideal for a peaceful getaway. If you’re looking to avoid crowds and noise, this is the perfect spot. It’s conveniently situated near Rehoboth and other beaches, offering a balance of accessibility and tranquility. We thoroughly enjoyed strolls along the beach and discovered fascinating information about the horseshoe crabs that inhabit the area. Highly recommended!

Lovely long weekend getaway!
We had a great time, our very first time staying at Prime Hook Beach, and hope to return again! The pictures and the many reviews accurately match and describe the house. It’s perfectly clean and well maintained and very well supplied. The house is really a well designed beachfront property, sitting just over the dunes, just a short private pathway in the sand to the beach. It’s our kind of beach, natural, secluded, away from the bustle and crowds. In fact our mid September visit meant we rarely saw anyone else, just waves and sand and our doggie dashing into the water. What a welcoming place for our pet, and so very comfortable for us, too. Just what we wanted, a peaceful, relaxing long weekend at the shore, an easy 2.5 hour drive due East from our city. Our host is so accommodating and responsive, we sure hope that she’ll have us back!

Peaceful Place for Rest & Relaxation
This place was perfect for us. The sunroom facing the dunes and ocean was idyllic. We had tremendous views and enjoyed sunrise every morning. We appreciated the cleanliness of the home and thoughtfulness of the host with things like coffee filters, etc. We look forward to booking there again. Thank you for sharing your lovely seaside home.

Adorable House on a Quiet Beach
We really enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the beach. The house met all of our expectations and was a perfect size for 3 adults, a toddler, and a dog. The beach was delightfully dog welcoming! Milton, DE is the cutest little town with so many cute businesses, restaurants, breweries and a sweet little playground.

Absolutely perfect
Cleanist place we have ever rented. It was so quiet there. Loved the fact that there was a fenced in area for my dog. The beds were comfortable. Having a hose right by the door to wash the sand of our feet was a plus. Highly recommend this house. Owner always got back to me quickly with any questions I had.

Delaware Beach Vacation 2024
This is our 3rd time renting this beach front cottage. It is perfect for our family! We like that it is one story and has a fence for our dogs. We can go back and forth from the beach to the house in a few steps. The fishing was fun as was the 4th of July celebrations with the neighbors, the parade and ice cream social. We hope to be back again!

Beautiful cozy and clean getaway on the bay.
This was our second time returning. We love it. Only steps from the beach. We especially love that we could take Nikki and Coco, our German Shepherd and Chocolate Lab. They had just as much fun as we did. The home is so cozy with everything you might need. Very clean. AC was cold on those very hot sunny days. The view is fantastic. We love the bay. We walked 15 miles along the beautiful beach while we were there. My son and fiancé joined us for a few days which we loved! Hats off to Suzy.

Wonderful cottage nestled in with Bay views!
This is the 4th house we've stayed at on Prime Hook Beach over the past few years, twice on the Marsh side and twice on the Bay side, and this is now our favorite! The sunroom/living area, which is nestled into the dune while also providing a view of the beautiful Bay water, was ideal for reading, eating, listening to music (and watching tv, once the spectacular sun set). The decor/furniture was just right for beach living, tasteful and not distracting from the natural beauty. Also welcoming for our collective pups, which was a real bonus. The host was very responsive, and also flexible about check-in/check-out time, which was much appreciated (and more likely, as we were there off-season, I imagine). We managed to pull off a Thanksgiving dinner prepared in the kitchen without too many hiccups (and thankfully only a turkey breast, not an entire turkey, as the oven was on the small size), so that says a lot about how well stocked the kitchen was. Fair warning that you may not have use of a second bathroom in the winter months, but as you'd have to go outside to use it, perhaps it's just as well! Note that the 3rd bedroom, while it has a full-sized bed, is probably best suited to one person - or two, if the 2nd person doesn't mind clamoring over the foot to get out, as it's right up against the wall. Would highly recommend this lovely cottage and we do hope to be back!

Relaxing get-away
The stay was great! The house is very accommodating with the kitchen being at the hub of the house. Beautiful views of the grasses out front just before the waters edge, and a prefect fenced in yard in back for the doggies. The house was clean and cozy, with the front room ideal for dining, playing board games, watching TV, or just relaxing. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!

The property was exactly how it was represented in the listing. The back room with the windows provided a beautiful view. The beach is just a few steps away through the gate. It is a quiet area and the nature preserve is gorgeous. You can tell the owner really takes pride in being a good host. Would definitely stay again!

A wonderful week on the bay...
Perfect beachfront cottage for our family of four in a very quiet, uncrowded area. Easy drive to nearby Milton for supplies and to Lewes and Rehoboth for dinners out. Great kayaking locales are all around, including the bay just steps from this home. Beautiful wildlife preserve in the area means great bird watching, but also means mosquitoes, so pack your bug spray!
