You will love vacationing with the unobstructed views of the Delaware Bay from every room and deck. Located 150 feet to the water where there are miles of sandy beaches for long walks and water sports. The water views from the house are breathtaking, and the beach is gorgeous, and quiet.

Broadkill Beach is a rare and precious find. It is close to all the activities of the Delaware beaches, yet away from the traffic and the 'maddening crowd', quieter, more private and the beaches are less crowded. The gentle waves of the Delaware Bay make it safer for children and great for swimming. Kayak and bicycle rental and delivery available.

About Abby Rosen
I live in Annapolis, and my sister, and brother-in-law live in Baltimore. We bought this house as a retreat for us, and our families, and a place for me to write a book, which came out in 2010. There's a desk in the hot tub room, that has the best seat in the house and the best view of the water. It's been a blessing in my life, and in the lives of those who have vacationed here, as you can see from the reviews of the house.
Abby Rosen purchased this house in 2008
Why Abby Rosen chose Delaware
One of the reasons I loved this house is that there are two identical master bedrooms. I knew if my sister and I both came at the same time, we would both argue that the other person should get the best master bedroom. With having two identical masters, that is never an issue.

Most relaxing vacation ever!
We want to thank you and your family for sharing your lovely beach home with us. We truly had one of our most relaxing vacations. We ate most of our meals in and appreciated your well-equipped kitchen. The doughnuts at the Broadkill Store were phenomenal, and highly recommend a visit on the weekends, just for a taste. The short walk to the private beach was wonderful. We loaded up the beach buggy and headed out most days, and then came back, relaxed with a meal, and a game of cards. We enjoyed the Crooked Hammock Brewery (craft beers and the short ribs were delicious), and the Surf and Crab (crab, shrimp, fish tacos were fantastic). Loved the relaxed atmosphere at both places and the food and service were excellent. We ventured into Rehoboth one night for ice cream and people watching on the boardwalk. Also took an afternoon and headed to Ocean City, MD. A marvelous time was had by all. Thank you!
Slice of Heaven
This was our second year here. We absolutely love this home and visit it yearly. Our children consider it our home away from home. It is well appointed and so quiet and peaceful. From the long days at the secluded beach (just a short walk) to the peaceful evenings spent together at the house, this place is just perfect. It truly is a little slice of heaven, we are blessed to have found this beautiful home. And the owners are top notch to deal with.
Great Family Spot
Having just left this beautiful beach house, we are ready to return. From the toddler digging holes in the sand, to the dog trying to catch and eat the waves, to this grandmother sitting on the almost deserted beach reading, we all enjoyed our time there. Abby and Diane were most understanding and patient, with the mechanical issues. The views, the house itself, the beach, the area. Perfect, beautiful. As soon as you open the front door you will feel welcome at your home for the week.
Abby and Diane, thank you.
Family Fun
It was only a blessing from GOD that we were able to to find this vacation home. We had a GREAT Family Reunion with siblings, nieces, nephews and grands. The whole family spoke of how awesome this place was and the excitement of being near the beach. It was so convenient to be able to come together to cook, sit and eat out on the patio while viewing the beautiful ocean and have Fun, Fun, Fun; from swimming to running relays on the beach to building sandcastles. Thank you so much Abby, Diane and Jim for Everything! We'll Be Back!!!
The perfect weekend getaway!
After 30 years of marriage and no children, my husband and I brought a puppy inter home last summer. That has changed everything - including vacation options! It was so wonderful to find Abby's dog-friendly beach house near Lewes, Delaware. It sounded too good to be true! It is all true - all that she describes, plus lots of unmentioned thoughtful touches that surprise you when you arrive. And the house is even better than the photos! We had wonderful views of the beach and the bay from bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living room and hot tub! The screened porch was so perfect - on the rainy day, we were able to sit outside and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Choose this vacation home without hesitation. You will have a wonderful experience.
Piece of Heaven
HUGE THANKS
I just wanted to let you know we are sooooooo enjoying your piece of heaven here in Broadkill Beach. The house is even more stunning than the pictures!!!! We are loving our week and just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing this with our family. We are forever grateful. Even my husband said last night we will never stay anywhere else in Delaware!!! The house has been appointed with everything we could possibly need!!!
Also, wanted to say a special thanks for the welcome bag. What a nice touch to be greeted by. So, so super sweet of you!! And thanks for the dog balls for our sweet girl, Rocket.
Thanks again, Abby!!! I won't want the week to end :-(
