There are access points every 3-4 properties. We have immediate access at our property eliminating a 200 ft walk before getting to the beach! There is a $45.00 dog fee per night for each dog. The great thing is the beach is semi private where you do not have other visitors parking in front of our home to access the beach. Enjoy the best month of the year, warm days, cool nights-hear the waves with your windows open! 'JUST PACK YOUR BAGS- WE'VE GOT THE REST!!' We help you in your vacation planning by providing the following items: all kitchen needs including dishwashing supplies, laundry detergent, laundry softener, toilet tissue, paper towels, trashbags, We updated our kitchen and updated primary bath.

There is also a TV in the Master bedroom.. We offer two queen beds, one full size and one single beds. We provide large weber propane grill, outdoor shower and three outdoor seating areas.
Enjoy the 360 degree view from an all-sided wrap around gated porch. Face the beautiful Delaware Bay from one side, and simply turn around to view Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge on the other. Bring your binoculars to enjoy many, many species of migrating birds and various wildlife present in the refuge. Come out at dusk for the gorgeous sunset or later at night to see all the stars in the dark sky. Also visible from the porch are the lights of Cape May, NJ and those of Lewes, DE. Take a few steps to the sandy beach and collect such treasures as seashells, seaglass, sharks teeth and beautiful stones.
Broadkill offers a quiet, relaxing setting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Kick back and read a great book on the private beach without the crowds of the public beaches to disturb you. Dogs are permitted on the beach year around and you can have a bonfire on the beach too! Kids will enjoy the small waves of the Delaware Bay as you sit in the water nearby. Visit the Broadkill Store which offers fishing tackle, an assortment of grocery items, sandwiches and great milkshakes to order, a small gift area, and don't miss the homemade donuts on Sunday!
Just five miles away enjoy the historic ship building town of Milton. Home of Dog Fish Brewery (tours available), casual dining, grocery stores, pharmacy, antiquing and seasonal festivals. Just down the road is Lewes, the first settlement in DE, with a great deal of shops, museums and fine dining. For the kids (and kids at heart alike), try the Rehobeth Beach boardwalk for rides, games and strolling the boardwalk.

This property is lovely, impeccably clean and fully stocked for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It is a described and the hosts were great! We will definitely stay again!!
Perfect location to see sunrise and sunsets. The proximity to the beach is exceptional. Nice, quiet neighborhood with a charming Broadkill store. We will definitely stay there again.
A great stay in one of the prettiest, private beaches. Extremely clean property, easy check in and check out, right on the water and perfect for a long weekend or a week stay. We brought our dog and the owners were more than accommodating. The home has everything you need. We look forward to our next stay!
Hosts are very attentive, welcoming, and gracious. The property is located in a perfect spot with easy beach access, beautiful views, and everything you need for an effortless stay. Great mattresses and everything you need in the kitchen. Gates on the deck keep the dogs in. It's quiet, restful, and just wonderful. We hope to return very soon.
4th time staying at Broadkill beach but 1st in this house. Location great, house had everything we need. Huge deck and short walk to beach. Hosts were terrific!
Terrific! Comfortable and home-like. The photos don't do the house justice. Well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, very clean. The hosts are very thoughtful. Our dog loved the beach. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to return.
We loved our stay. Perfect location, with an outstanding deck that went all the way around the house. John was friendly and responsive without being intrusive. We’ll be back.
Our vacation was wonderful! We had beautiful weather, the location was perfect, and John and Cathy were such a help! The house is very nice and had everything you might need for cooking and relaxing. The wrap-around deck was great! It kept our dogs contained and still able to run around and exercise while we were grilling and enjoying the views. And to top it off, a beautiful double rainbow after a rain shower!
The house was spotless and exactly as it appears in the pictures, with everything that you need supplied. But it is all about the beach, which is right outside your back door, beautiful, quiet and dog friendly. And if you want an evening out, Milton is 10 minutes away, charming and has dog friendly restaurants with talented entertainment. I highly recommend this house.

We selected this as a result of the 5 star reviews. When we arrived the bathrooms and kitchen surfaces were clean. The pet odor was overwhelming. Long dog hair was under the beds, along with bones, and under the dressers. One set of sheets left for us smelled like dog, so I went to wash them and the front load washer was full of long dog hair and the rubber ring was full of mold (the door of a front load washers should be kept open when not in use to prevent mold) . I cleaned it the best I could and rewashed the sheets and they still smelled like a dog. There were other sheet sets in the cupboard that were fine, so we used those. A hot tub was listed as an Amenity. This was a key consideration when we chose this unit. There was no hot tub. The walking proximity to the Delaware bay was fantastic and the Bay water view was just like being at the ocean, and we had the beach all to ourselves. We drove to the town of Lewes and had great food and enjoyed the quaint shops. There was a brand new grill on the deck, we chose not to cook, but it is nice to have. Our dog loved the wrap around deck. Don't forget to take bug spray and your own beach chairs. Loved the birds, and saw a hummingbird and even a beautiful red fox while walking on the street that seemed harmless.
Simply serene…disconnect, relax, enjoy family and nature.
This is just what we were looking for! Wonderfully stocked, updated and clean private house just steps from an unpopulated beach, with friendly people who say hello and an abundance of nature. What a retreat for our busy NY suburban family and our fur baby. “Nothing to do”, we were told… well that was exactly what we found and how amazing it was! Family time steps from the beach. Dinner in, cooking on the grill on the beautiful deck that surrounds the entire house. Watched the sunset at night on one side, saw it rise the next morning on the other. Pure beauty and enjoyment. On the beach we enjoyed the amazing horseshoe crabs, (one of the oldest species in the world with such importance to the migratory bird population and their dependence for food. Flip them over if they need help.. we did). We loved watching the harmless and very entertaining ghost crabs scurry sideways while digging holes like dogs hiding bones in the yard. We also counted the many interesting species of birds we saw each day. Our favorite was the giant Osprey who hover, and dive to retrieve fish from the water to then fly overhead back to their nests in the nearby reserve feeding their young. And if you miss the hustle and bustle…then the drive to Rehoboth or Lewes is 25 minutes and you can dine, see a movie or play mini golf. We even took a short day trip, just over an hour drive to Assateague Island to see the wild horses on the beach. Thank you Cathy and John for sharing your special home with us.
Very nice vacation right on the beach. We were able to do a fire on the beach at night. Owners were present across the street from the property and very nice.
Such a relaxing vacation - Hosts were warm and gracious and made sure we did not want for anything - great location to sit back and unwind without the hustle and bustle of typical beach vacations. Would highly recommend!!!
Hosts were just great. Size of house is very accommodating and location is awesome. Portions of the deck and the gates need repaired. Ideal for our dogs! Enjoyed our stay very much.
The bay area is quiet, and nature surrounds you on the private beach. You're not far from anything but you do feel like you have escaped to a secret place.
Excellent experience. Relaxing environment on quiet street of beach homes. Rental house has wraparound deck with great ocean views and all required amenities, including comfortable beds. Private beach is just a short walk.
The house is comfortable and not so large that two people and two dogs get lost in it. I appreciated that it was all on one level, with a wraparound deck having gates to keep our dogs safe while outside. It is beach front, a view of the water from the deck and a short walk over the dune to the water. The area is quiet and the traffic on the road travels at an appropriate speed. Only one loud vehicle went by all week. It's a good mix of rental and owner-occupied houses, from smaller cottages to big 3 story mansions. We enjoyed spending time in the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, which surrounds the neighborhood.
Property was as described, wrap around deck was great for tracking the sun, super dog-friendly. Beautiful sunrises, quiet beach, preserves and state parks to walk nearby, fun to explore Lewes' shops and restaurants. John and Cathy were only a phone call away, stopped by to greet us and to check on our stay. They are looking to replace the master bedroom mattress, curtains in the livingroom, and add a few smaller amenities. This was our first visit to Delaware...we look forward to coming back!!
Cute cottage right on the beach with wrap around deck. Sun all day, or shade when you want it. Comfortable, cozy building with amenities and linens. There is nothing fancy about this spot, but it has the comforts needed. Plenty of deck seating, and just a few steps to the beach. Watch the sunrise or see the moonlight from the house. If a few dust bunnies, crumbs or squishy beds don't phase you, this is great!
