Family friendly home w/ 360 views of the bay and wild life preserve (sleeps 12)

Brand New Dock!

Unique round house with stunning 360 degree views directly on the estuary, where you can fish, kayak or take a short walk across the street to enjoy Broadkill Beach. For those looking to relax, the view provides wonderful bird watching across the wildlife refuge at the back door. You can see the sun rise over the bay in the morning, and set behind the preserve in the evening. The exceptional view makes this house like no other and offers a calming environment for not only vacationing, but working or doing virtual school if you crave a change of environment.

There is plenty of room for the whole family to relax in their own space or cozy up on the couch together. The living room is an open rotunda, great for gatherings. Feel free to take advantage of the available puzzles, games and books. The in-law suite on the lower level provides a separate living area with King bed and pull out couch.

Sleep comfortably in one of the 3 king beds, 2 queens or 2 twins, all comfortable and like new condition. Unwind in front of the smart TV in family room with netflix, hulu or amazon prime or laze in front of the TV in the master suite or in-law apartment. Make a homemade meal in the full size kitchen with fully stocked cooking and baking supplies or order pizza from the Broadkill Store.

This portion of Bayshore drive fits only two houses between the beach and estuary. This means more space per family on the beach and a greater sense of privacy, in the water, on the beach, or within the home. There are simply few places in the world that allow a sense of seclusion at the beach, and certainly none as affordable as the Broadkill area.

After a day at the beach, rinse off at our private outdoor shower and store your gear under the covered carport. Enjoy a night out in the small town of Milton, at the local shops or drive into Lewis or Rehoboth beaches, both a short drive from your vacation home.

The BRAND NEW DOCK allows you to easily take out the readily available Kayaks for a family adventure or afternoon escape. Or have a relaxing day fishing or crabbing right off the back yard. Please obtain a very inexpensive fishing license to avoid any fines.

A Great Time
Our group of twelve has stayed at Bliss, the round beach house, five times now. We love it! It's very comfortable for us. The owners, Amber and Josh, are quick to respond to any question we may have. This time a storm rolled through and they assured us that all would be well with the house and it was. We marveled at how high the water rose wondering if it would reach the deck of the new dock. It didn't. This house is beautiful and comfortable. What more could we want for a beach vacation?

Perfect Getaway
The property is so large, so many options for bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen clean and spacious. Upper great room has spectacular views. Elevator for bringing up supplies for kitchen and bedrooms, was so helpful. Booking for next year, bringing our boat, next time. Don’t hesitate, you’ll have a wonderful time!

Bliss house
We had a great time, a few glitches occurred. In law apartment needs some tlc. Very musty, we discovered the dehumidifier wasn’t draining into the sink. Property manager came and tried to fix it. Didn’t work, so we emptied it every day.it was a great place otherwise, we saw a lot of wildlife at the preserve. Loved the ocean being close by. We did have a problem with bugs eating us, but there were two storms.

Harmons Family Stay 7/8-7/15
Our overall impression was that we loved this place and would be interested in penciling in a booking for next year too at the same rate if possible. Our only concerns were the back deck had a lot of nails up on it as well as the blue walkway and the stairs could use some work as they are either weak or wobbly in many places. Perhaps an inspection of that structure would be good. The downstairs in-law suite had only been cleaned in the bathroom as the room itself was covered in spiders and cobwebs. A yearly deep clean of whole property aka under things, behind things, inside couches, rugs etc, would go a long way. And finally a mattress pad or two on the hard mattresses would also help. But we still loved our stay. The view was phenomenal, kitchen equipped and space excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Finally, any word on when the dock will be put in? That was something several ppl in our party were hoping would be done next year. Thank you again, Harmons!

Amazing property!
Bliss is the ultimate family vacation home complete with stunning views and every amenity you could desire. Every day brought new adventures from the amazing Prime Hook refuge to the beach and sting ray watching. Thank you for sharing such an incredible home.

Beautiful at Bliss
Our family has a great stay here. We did have a couple days of rain, but the house family area was great for games, watching tv or just hanging out. The bedrooms were nice and clean. The elevator was very helpful. My son and daughter-in-law stayed there with their 1-year old daughter. My daughter and son-in-law went kayaking and caught crabs everyday. We got a fishing permit to take our jeep on the beach. The access was very close. There was something for everyone.

We had a lovely time, the crabbing was great and will be easier when they finish their planned deck. Take bug spray!

Wonderful extended family vacation at the shore. The setting was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. A short walk to the beach and a longer walk for ice cream. We had a great time.

A Warm Hug
This beautiful property is worth the work. The unique shape is just beginning. The view from each bedroom will bring a smile to your face. But when entering the top level, I paused. The view took my breath away. Watching birds and the surf at one turn of my head. What a blessing to get a hug from an experience. Thanks for sharing your gift with us.
