About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

We are right on water, Dogs are invited. 2 nite min. stay. 300 night discount/wk

The home has all new wood plank flooring installed 2023. New bedding installed this year. New 22 ft refrigerator w/ ice maker. It is dog friendly. New weber grill and all new living room furniture (2024) Kayak supplied, bring your life vest. Added new decking and both stairs have gates for safety. Dogs have no weight limit.
Special note: Due to Covid 19, we sanitize all hard services to minimize any germs. Broadkill installed a dune with fencing on both side. 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 $30.00 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, towels, sheets and pillows. We updated our kitchen and updated primary bath. The home offers a open floor plan and water view is available from every seat in the living area with our 9 ft glass sliding doors. Large stackable washer dryer is included. All three bedrooms are spacious, and two bedrooms face the water to enjoy the sounds of the waves at night. We offer 2 flat screen TV with Comcast and wireless high speed internet. 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.

Beautiful and Relaxing
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.

Perfect Spot!!
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!!

Wonderful location!
My husband and I have now stayed at this property 3-4 times over the last decade, both before and with kids. This trip was woth our 8, 6, 4, and 2 year olds and 2 dogs. The proximity to the beach is a huge plus to the property and the large wrap around deck is great to be able to leave the dogs outside for a bit when the sand starts to get too hot for their paws. The kitchen is well stocked which is important to us as we cook most of our own meals on vacations. The hosts have always been quick to check in and responsive if we need them, but are respectful of our space as well. We will absolutely continue to return!

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!

Great vacation location
Broadkill Beach is as close as you can get to a private beach steps from the deck. The views across the bay or over the marshland are right in front of your eyes and hard to turn away from. The house is well kept, clean and provided what we needed for the week. Some minor essentials such as paper towels, soap etc..are provided and helpful. Many attractions such as Cape Henlopen state park, the Lewes Ferry to Cape May or the boardwalk in Rehoboth are just a short ride from Broadkill. The owners were very nice people, easy to work with and care about you enjoying your stay at their property. Overall we will be planning another visit back.

Great beach access
This property had something for everyone. My husband and I went with a group of friends. The house was large enough to accommodate all of us and we had more than enough space. The beach was steps away from the porch and everyone was able to watch the amazing sunset/sunrises each day. John, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. The house had all of the basic supplies which made it easier when packing and/or grocery shopping. The property was pet friendly too which was fantastic for traveling with our yellow lab. Overall a great experience. If possible visit Mickeys crab house in Rehoboth dinner as you can order buckets of crabs and crack them on the table.

Quiet and private beach vacation
My wife, daughter and I had a lovely time at John and Cathy’s rental. The beach was clean and very private. Broadkill seems to be fairly family oriented. There were multiple other families with kids for my daughter to play with at the beach which was really nice. We were looking for a quiet relaxing time at the beach and this place is perfect for that. As some of the other reviews have stated, Rehoboth is not far if you’re looking for boardwalk type activities. We did visit Rehoboth twice during our stay and enjoyed that as well. Great arcades, food, shops and other attractions to fill those needs. Fishing and crabbing at Broadkill were quite good in June and provided dinner on many nights during our two week stay. The house was comfortable and well stocked. The deck on the oceanside is a really nice feature and you can’t beat the view from the living room through the sliding glass doors. John and Cathy are across the street - very accommodating and friendly but at no time did we feel privacy was an issue. We certainly hope to return. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Taken by surprise
Location , beach and surroundings are perfect. If you are looking for place to unload the stress this beach is the right one. Private, not many people around and you get to enjoy the peace, bird songs and long walks in the nature. House is OK depending on what your standards are. It is outdated but you can see it on the pictures with the listing. I am giving 2 stars only because we had a mouse. We even did the video of the rascal. The problem with rodents is outstanding since 2020 as per old reviews. Also we saw trap in the linen closet and this lead us to think the hosts were aware of the issue previously. We didn't leave for couple of reasons mainly financial since we paid load of money - just proceeded with caution.

Pro's and Con's
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.

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!

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.
