Quaint Beachfront Cottage, Panoramic Bay Views! Sleeps 8, Pet Friendly

Love Rehoboth, but want a break from the crowds? Want peace and quiet in a natural setting? Then rent on direct beach/bayfront on the white sandy Broadkill Beach on Delaware Bay....just a dozen country miles NW of Rehoboth. Beach comb, fish, canoe, hike the wildlife preserve, golf, enjoy the bay view from a huge porch. We hope you can come see for yourself! Enjoy the natural setting, the natural beauty, the natural quiet!

Broadkill Beach, where the house is located, is a quiet old fishing village that is entirely residential (all single family homes), and one quaint country store. The town is NW of Rehoboth/Lewes, close enough to hop in the car to hit the outlets, restaurants, or the boardwalk, but far enough that you enjoy peace and quiet. Broadkill's sandy beach is great for sandcastles, kayaking, beach combing, and the huge wildlife refuge (Primehook) is another attraction. A few miles inland is historic Milton, home of a huge collection of Victorian era architecture, bookshop, antique shops, ice cream parlor, as well as being the home of a couple of Delaware's 19th century governors--there large homes are still there. This is truly an area for all kinds of vacation tastes.

Together, the beach, the country store, and the cottage create a 'Summer of '42' type setting (as my neighbor calls it). The house was built while the baby boomer's were still riding skate boards and the 'greatest generation' was still the 'working generation'. We have, in fact, summer patrons who came here first as children themselves, and they now bring their grand children. The cottage includes a huge porch and a deck.

The cottage also includes the living room, and 3 bedrooms. The one full bath and one half bath inside is complemented by a shower stall outside. There is more parking than you can use, complements of Broadkill's low density of housing. Lastly, the house and the porch face on direct beach/bay front. At night you can see the twinkling lights of Cape May, as well as the pitching and rolling lights of the Lewes-Cape May Ferry.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Prime Hook Beach. You'll find features like free WiFi in public areas and a water park. The cottage includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchen, washing machine, and 1.5 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Splash around at the water park
  • Steps from Prime Hook Beach and 4 minutes by foot from Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge
This cottage offers its guests a water park. WiFi is free in public spaces.

Relaxing with gorgeous setting
We chose this rental to relax away from the beach crowds and it did not disappoint! Super quiet relaxed neighborhood. Just a few people around during our stay, all friendly. Amazing screened in porch/sunroom with wide water view right against the dunes with beautiful plantings, bunnies, foxes and deer! Loved being able to walk right down to the beach with our pup any time of day and having the outdoor showers to clean off. The house is charming and comfortable with everything we needed. The Broadkill store was a nice little walking destination with basics, ice cream, donuts and pizza too. Also enjoyed day trips to Lewes and Rehoboth. Just be aware of the land breezes that bring the biting flies! A perfect,relaxing getaway!

Perfect location in Broadkill Beach
I've been to Broadkill Beach several times, staying in different homes each visit. We were traveling this time to see the spawning of the horseshoe crabs that takes place in the spring, timing the trip during the full moon in May. (And we're not disappointed -- lots right on the beach that night, and more to see at the DuPont Nature Center on the way home.) Being right on the beach was wonderful, because we could easily pop over the dune to check out the crabs, and when we were inside, the view from the enclosed porch was fantastic. My husband and I had the twin beds, which were comfortable and provided a good night's sleep. The owners of the property quickly answered any questions and the house comfortably met the needs of two couples aged 50+, and I would definitely consider renting again in the future. I would bring my own cookware, as the pans available were limited and tired, but we were only there a few days, so no worries. If you're looking for fancy new construction, this isn't the house for you, but if you appreciate a charming beach cottage with a bit of sway on the pilings, a stunning view, and easy access to the beach, you've found a good one!

We absolutely loved our stay at seaside. Great for the dogs to run on the beach. Close enough to everything but not too close. Lots of great food and fun in downtown Milton. Highly recommend if you’re looking for vintage North East beach vibes.

Magical Vacation
We brought two grandchildren, ages 2 + 3 to enjoy some special time at the beach.. We visited Milton and the beautiful park/playground and Rehoboth for a day. We did a Pirate ship excision out of Lewes thst was great fun for kids. The house was great + the cousins shared the twin bedroom which was perfect for them. They were facinated by the bunk beds, but not quite ready for that yet. Having 2 bathrooms was a plus! We loved the enclosed porch + ate our meals + did some crafts + watched the birds. Being able to have a fire + toast marshmallows under the stars was amazing. A little bit of a hike fir a 2 + 3 year old on the path to the beach, but we brought a beach wagon + did fine. We lappreciated our special time together at this house on the bay.

Great Location but needs updating
Paying for location. Home is dated. Needs new furnishings and updated appliances. The washing machine shakes the entire house and bangs so loud the children were scared of it. Barely any thing to prepare meals with. Everything was ancient. Not one sharp knife. Only one small television makes it hard to entertain little ones. This would be a nice rental for an older couple.

Quiet and Cozy
We spent a week with our daughter’s family at this Delaware Beach cottage. It’s a simple, clean and comfortable venue. The beach is the attraction when weather permits. The town of Lewes is close for interesting shopping, many restaurants, and kids activities like the pirate ship and the bounce house.

Loved it!
Great location, fabulous porch with view of the sea, modest and comfortable home: everything I like in a beach house. In April there are no bugs so we also enjoyed the deck. Huge sandy beach with very few people. Close to Prime Hook preserve for birding and walking. Cape Henlopen has dedicated trails that would be great for biking with kids (popular and busy though). We kayaked from Milton, cute park and old town. Pay attention to the tides to know how hard you want to kayak back… Enjoy!

Quiet Retreat but loads of things to do for all
It was a cozy beach house with fantastic views. Everything we needed. My mother wants me to come back again next year. We kept tracking in sand but kept my roomba going which was a godsend. Everything perfect, just one idea: microwaveable dishes. The closet bathroom was cute and useful. Loved being close to Prime Hook for trails, birding and kayaking. Also to Milton for groceries and amazingly good meals.

Summer 22
The cottage was very much as depicted in the listing. The proximity to the beach was its best feature! We loved the outdoor shower and the closed in porch. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was nice. The kitchen was in need of better equipment (pans, utensils) and the place really could use a gas grill. The beach was really amazing - it is essentially a private beach. You can just leave your stuff and go back to the house for lunch. Our dog had the time of her life. The sunrise and sunsets were absolutely exquisite. Broadkill beach is the bay not the ocean so with the calm waters you must watch out for jellyfish- both myself and my daughter were stung. Bring bug-spray because there were green flies that bite. All in all, if you’re looking for a 100% relaxing beach vacation, this house is awesome. With some minor tweaks it really could be a dream.

Best of both beaches
This is a great beach cottage with lots of room. Easily fit 6-8 people. It's an older cottage but well maintained and gives you a vintage beach vibe. Especially the retro radio! The best feature is the porch. You have a full view of the dunes and can peek at the wildlife and wave to the neighbors. It's a great spot for morning coffee and for evening cocktails. Our dogs enjoyed sleeping in the sun out there too. Broadkill Beach is private and chill. The location gives you easy access to many other beaches! We went to Rehoboth, Dewey, Lewes and Henlopen. You can choose a calm quiet swim or take a short ride to play in the busy waves. The host was easy to contact and responsive. Be sure to leave a note in the guest book! Thank you for a beautiful 2 weeks!
