Adorable 2BR/2BA Beach Cottage with Separate 1BR/1BA Cottage

Wouldn't it be nice for you to stay at a cottage that is a two-minute walk to the beach? You can find that if you stay at Calypso Cottage. You can hear the sound of the waves as you relax on the front patios' Adirondack chairs.
Calypso Cottage is unique in that it will offer you privacy when traveling with friends or extended family by having a second cottage on the property.
You enter into the main cottage by way of the bright, comfortable sunroom. As you enter, there is a great space to store your extra ice chests and coolers. From the sunroom, you enter into the main living area that encompasses the kitchen, dining, and living room. A small hallway gives you access to a full bath, a Master bedroom on the left and a twin bedroom on the right. The Master Bedroom will give you a queen bed and a full private bath. When you walk into the twin room you have a closet to hang your clothes and a trundle bed where you can pull out a second twin bed.
Walking out the back door, you follow the deck around to the side door of the cottage. You pass by a refreshing outdoor hot/cold shower where you can wash off the sand and sea from the day's outing.
You enter the second cottage through a small foyer, into a full bath, that leads to a spacious bedroom with a queen bed.
When you need to have some private time to yourself this cottage is a retreat. You have your own mini-frig, sink, and coffee pot for your use.
A small shed stores items to make your beach adventure more enjoyable. There are beach chairs, an umbrella, beach toys, a wagon and firewood available for your use.

*** Please Make Note of the following***
Towels and Linens are not provided

Broadkill Beach is located in the National Prime Hook Preserve. It is a great area for swimming without waves, biking, kayaking, paddle boarding and taking walks on the beach. Broadkill is located about 20 minutes north of Lewes and all the major shopping outlets.

The cottage is absolutely amazing in a quiet location. It was perfect for my family and everything was well organized and easily located. Nannette was very accommodating and made sure the trip went smoothly. We will definitely be returning to this cottage.

Nice and clean house, steps to beach for a visit with grandkids. Loved the separate cottage like in-law suite. Allowed some down time and privacy. Location was a short drive to Lewis, DE and perfect for nature lovers. The step down to the beach is a bit washed out, just have to watch your steps. However there is a public entrance a few blocks away and a small store to grab ice cream and a sandwiches.

Amazing in the Off-Season
My partner, my roommate, and I stayed here for a week with our fur babies in early October. It was everything we were hoping for and expecting. The weather was still perfect for lazy beach days. The property was perfect for us, especially as a couple with a friend. The separate suite was so nice for us to have privacy but still be able to come together as a group when we wanted to. I love the beach here, it’s quiet and cozy and great for fur family members. Lots of dog centric locals who weren’t bothered by friendly greetings from my wet and sandy Aussie. The house was incredibly clean, perfectly outfitted with all the necessities, all the modern touches, but still retaining all the retro charm you could ask for. Nannette was super communicative, incredibly responsive and available, and the keyless check in was a breeze. 10/10 we will absolutely be back.

Great beach stay
We really enjoyed our stay at calypso cottage. The home was great for me, my husband, our 2 year old child and our dog. The location and proximity to the beach was perfect! The beach itself was nice and quiet, and dog friendly. The neighborhood is also very nice to walk/bike. Broadkill beach is a little off the beaten path so the nearest stores (with the exception of the broadkill store) and town is about a 10-15 minute drive, which for us was fine. You can also venture to nice restaurants in Lewes, which was about 20 minutes away. The home was clean and well equipped. The bonus cottage was a nice plus as well. The only negative was the bugs. Even with lots of bug spray I still ended up getting eaten up. Regardless , I definitely still recommend calypso cottage and would love to visit again next summer!

Cute beach cottage
Adorable cottage, well maintained and super clean! Steps from very quiet and dog friendly beach. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and the suite out back was great for extra privacy. Host was great with communication. Definitely pack some bug spray, as others have mentioned. We came prepared. The area is quiet but close enough to Lewes/Rehoboth if looking for activities. We enjoyed taking the ferry from Lewes to Cape May for a day.

Adorable & Clean
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The quest cottage was perfect for our son & daughter-in-law with a young baby. Quick easy walk to the dog friendly beach. Very clean and lots of little things that made the vacay enjoyable - games for rainy day, beach chairs, bikes, etc.

Beach Cottage
Owner was terrific at responding instantly to texts, This cottage has been updated beautifully, It is spotlessly clean and within seconds to walking to beach, Only negative is the biting flies! recommend lots and lots of bug spray, Having the owners suite separate from cottage was a nice bonus, It’s a lovely place that soon will be totally rebuilt with high end beach homes,
