Great for low key vacation with pets!
My friends and I decided at the last minute to do a week-end at the beach. This place and was open and suited our needs as far as sleep accommodations, dogs allowed and walkable to the/a beach - especially one that allows dogs. Really glad it was available! We had a great trip and also enjoyed the Broadkill store and weekend donuts! If you need a little more excitement, Lewes, Henlopen, and Rehoboth/Dewey are not too far away.

Nice home/Great Location
My parent's, my dog and I enjoyed our stay at Dawn's Cottage in Broadkill. The home was clean upon arrival, outside and inside. Welcomed with a nice gift and a note. Wonderful out space under the house. There is a gas grill available. Just a few steps to the beach(just watch out for the cactus and a cactus/plant with really sharp burs, especially if your dog(s) is along). So many places are just a short drive away.

Awesome stay in July!
Amazing location. I was pleasantly surprised with Broadkill beach. You do have to prepare yourself for the bugs, but we knew that going in. Would definitely come here again.

Great time
Our family of 4 and dog had a great stay! The proximity to the beach was great! The wine and Dolles taffy was a very sweet welcome gift. The decor was super cute. The storage was plentiful and all the little trays, bins, etc made it really easy to keep things organized and tidy during our stay. We usually have to bring things like hand soap for the bathroom sinks, paper towels, napkins, etc. All of those items were supplied which was a nice surprise. There were some biting flies, but they weren't a big problem. We made sure to use bug spray and kept the outside fans, under the house, on when we were outside, and it wasn't an issue. Gina recommended a movie night on the beach, and it turned out to be one of our favorite evenings. My husband and I shared a bottle of wine while our boys enjoyed ice cream from the cute country store, while watching a movie under the stars with our feet in the sand. It felt very Americana and a great memory! Daily walks on the beach were so relaxing. The water was calm and the beach was never crowded. We had family staying in OC and made the trip up almost every night, so we didn't experience any local restaurants but breakfast and lunch from the local store was quick and easy. Overall a great time was had by all, and we will definitely be back.

Peaceful Week with the Family
We loved our time at Dawn's Cottage! It was just as cute as it looked in the picture. The beach was very private and an easy walk across the street. The kids saw dolphins playing in the waves the first day we got there. The space was perfect for me and my husband, two kids, my mom, and the dog. The kitchen had everything we needed including some thoughtful welcome gifts. It's about 20 minutes to Lewes, and 15 the closest grocery store which was a nice trade off for the solitide once you get to the cottage. The Broadkill store at the end of the road had the very basics including pizza, ice cream, and ice but we found we were going to Lewes every day or two and could stock up when we went in. We like to cook all our meals at the cottage with a only a few times eating out through the week and the location worked perfectly for that. Some of the concerns from other reviews seemed not to be a problem for us- there was minimal construction noise the week we were there. The black flies were out a couple days but easily managed by taking bug spray to the beach with us. Overall we loved the place and had a great week!

Dawn’s Cottage
Adorable Cottage across from the beach. Very clean and everything was in excellent condition. The central air conditioner worked great which was very much needed. The beach is private, beautiful and a short walk from the front door. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were a nice size. To our surprise, there were not many bugs/mosquitoes for its location. Definitely bring bug spray for the flys on the beach. Once you spray, they definitely will stay away. We enjoyed our stay, checking in and out were extremely smooth. We had zero problems with the house during our stay. Everything was wonderful! We will definitely go back!

We vacationed all around the Delaware shores with family for many many years. We love trying new towns. This year we tried Broadkill beachs. I always come prepared for a new experience by doing my homework. The rental was perfect. The area wasn’t, way too remote for feeding a family. No restaurants or food stores without traveling 10 miles. The beaches were beautiful but way to many bugs. Three of us were stung w jellyfish. The General store was such a disappointment. Not even bread. All of us are covered with bits from flies and mosquitoes.
