Quaint Beachfront Cottage, Panoramic Bay Views! Sleeps 8, Pet Friendly
Enjoy panoramic ocean/bay views from the sunroom of this quaint beach cottage. You will be greeted with rustic charm in the quiet town of Broadkill Beach. Surrounded by a nature preserve, this family friendly neighborhood is sure to have something for everyone. Conveniently located near Rehoboth/Lewes beaches for shopping and dining. Prefer the fresh air of nature? Kayaking, fishing, and miles of beach are right outside the front door. See for yourself why Broadkill Beach is a hidden treasure.
Love Rehoboth, but want a break from the crowds? Want peace and quiet in a natural setting? Then rent on direct beach/bayfront on the white sandy Broadkill Beach on Delaware Bay....just a dozen country miles NW of Rehoboth. Beach comb, fish, canoe, hike the wildlife preserve, golf, enjoy the bay view from a huge porch. We hope you can come see for yourself! Enjoy the natural setting, the natural beauty, the natural quiet!
Broadkill Beach, where the house is located, is a quiet old fishing village that is entirely residential (all single family homes), and one quaint country store. The town is NW of Rehoboth/Lewes, close enough to hop in the car to hit the outlets, restaurants, or the boardwalk, but far enough that you enjoy peace and quiet. Broadkill's sandy beach is great for sandcastles, kayaking, beach combing, and the huge wildlife refuge (Primehook) is another attraction. A few miles inland is historic Milton, home of a huge collection of Victorian era architecture, bookshop, antique shops, ice cream parlor, as well as being the home of a couple of Delaware's 19th century governors--there large homes are still there. This is truly an area for all kinds of vacation tastes.
Together, the beach, the country store, and the cottage create a 'Summer of '42' type setting (as my neighbor calls it). The house was built while the baby boomer's were still riding skate boards and the 'greatest generation' was still the 'working generation'. We have, in fact, summer patrons who came here first as children themselves, and they now bring their grand children. The cottage includes a huge porch and a deck.
The cottage also includes the living room, and 3 bedrooms. The one full bath and one half bath inside is complemented by a shower stall outside. There is more parking than you can use, complements of Broadkill's low density of housing. Lastly, the house and the porch face on direct beach/bay front. At night you can see the twinkling lights of Cape May, as well as the pitching and rolling lights of the Lewes-Cape May Ferry.

House was located with a short walk to the beach. Nicely furnished including attractive screened in porch. Kitchen was equipped with all the necessary essentials. Would certainly stay at this property again.
The photos and descriptions are accurate. It's a cozy beach cottage that includes practically everything a family would need (apart from sheets, towels, etc., but those things are mentioned up front). I really have no complaints. This was my first time using vrbo.com and it was a great experience. I would definitely return to this place.
Charming beach house at end of quiet road. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the property. Our pups enjoyed walks on the beach just a few steps from the front door. A lovely place and getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay at seaside. Great for the dogs to run on the beach. Close enough to everything but not too close. Lots of great food and fun in downtown Milton. Highly recommend if you’re looking for vintage North East beach vibes.
What a peaceful and beautiful place! I was teleworking and had the most fantastic view of the dunes, the foxes, the birds the waves and the sunrise. This place is a gem.
Nice place, communication while at the property was difficult because the cell service is extremely limited. The Hosts were easy to communicate with when in an area our cells worked. They did everything that they could do to ensure our stay was a good one.

So glad you enjoyed your stay, Gene! Hope to see you again soon!
Happy New Year!!
The location on the dunes is fantastic yet the cottage isn’t too fancy. Perfect for family gatherings, beach walks and enjoying nature. The wifi is strong so you can continue to work remotely.
What a nice beach cottage! Beautiful views of the bay. The beach was great and not crowded .The home is charming and was perfect for us. Having a washer and dryer is nice so you are not bringing home wet suits and clothes towels.
We spent a week with our daughter’s family at this Delaware Beach cottage. It’s a simple, clean and comfortable venue. The beach is the attraction when weather permits. The town of Lewes is close for interesting shopping, many restaurants, and kids activities like the pirate ship and the bounce house.
My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. First time in Broadkill and definitely not the last. Would most definitely stay at this rental again. We spent our whole time in the all season room with the wonderful view. Super peaceful and lots to do in the surrounding communities! Definitely would recommend.

We couldn't have been happier! The house had everything we needed for a beach vacation, inside and out. I thought it was so cozy and inviting.This was my kids first experience with the ocean and it definitely didn't disappoint!

So glad you enjoyed ur stay Natalie! Hope to see you back soon!!
Quick access to the beach, beautiful views from the porch, this 3 bedroom home had everything we needed. Maybe a larger TV and a Kuerig could be added, but otherwise a good time was had by all.
Great location, fabulous porch with view of the sea, modest and comfortable home: everything I like in a beach house. In April there are no bugs so we also enjoyed the deck. Huge sandy beach with very few people. Close to Prime Hook preserve for birding and walking. Cape Henlopen has dedicated trails that would be great for biking with kids (popular and busy though). We kayaked from Milton, cute park and old town. Pay attention to the tides to know how hard you want to kayak back… Enjoy!
I had a wonderful time at Broadkill Beach. The location is away from the busy popular beaches but close enough to go to the restaurants and activities. I loved being able to bring my dog. We got up every morning to beautiful sunrises and flipping horseshoe crabs. The house was just as described. I have no complaints. We spent almost all the time that we were “home” in the relaxing front room with ocean and nature views and peaceful birdsong. Could not be happier. I hope we can come again next spring!

So glad you enjoyed yourselves! We'd love to see you back Catherine!!
We chose this rental to relax away from the beach crowds and it did not disappoint! Super quiet relaxed neighborhood. Just a few people around during our stay, all friendly. Amazing screened in porch/sunroom with wide water view right against the dunes with beautiful plantings, bunnies, foxes and deer! Loved being able to walk right down to the beach with our pup any time of day and having the outdoor showers to clean off. The house is charming and comfortable with everything we needed. The Broadkill store was a nice little walking destination with basics, ice cream, donuts and pizza too. Also enjoyed day trips to Lewes and Rehoboth. Just be aware of the land breezes that bring the biting flies! A perfect,relaxing getaway!
Great location with ocean view. Had much of the neighborhood to ourselves (winter). Quiet and contemplative space; pet friendly so relaxed about bringing ours. No problem with the Wi-Fi, but phone signal was weak. Heat and water were great, nice windows. Some of the furniture needs replacing or reupholstering, like the couch and master bed and living room chair cushions, respectively. Overall very comfortable and we would stay there again.

My husband and I bought this sweet property when I was pregnant with our 2nd child which was 32 years ago now!!! We have always asked renters to bring their OWN SHEETS AND TOWELS. We know that tends to be unusual these days but since we now live out of the area, it is necessary. There are several linen services in the area if you would like to rent sheets and towels: Sheets At The Beach in Lewes Coastal Beach Services in Rehoboth
