About this property
Family friendly home w/ 360 views of the bay and wild life preserve
Brand New Dock!
Unique round house with stunning 360 degree views directly on the estuary, where you can fish, kayak or take a short walk across the street to enjoy Broadkill Beach. For those looking to relax, the view provides wonderful bird watching across the wildlife refuge at the back door. You can see the sun rise over the bay in the morning, and set behind the preserve in the evening. The exceptional view makes this house like no other and offers a calming environment for not only vacationing, but working or doing virtual school if you crave a change of environment.
There is plenty of room for the whole family to relax in their own space or cozy up on the couch together. The living room is an open rotunda, great for gatherings. Feel free to take advantage of the available puzzles, games and books. The in-law suite on the lower level provides a separate living area with King bed and pull out couch.
Sleep comfortably in one of the 3 king beds, 2 queens or 2 twins, all comfortable and like new condition. Unwind in front of the smart TV in family room with netflix, hulu or amazon prime or laze in front of the TV in the master suite or in-law apartment. Make a homemade meal in the full size kitchen with fully stocked cooking and baking supplies or order pizza from the Broadkill Store.
This portion of Bayshore drive fits only two houses between the beach and estuary. This means more space per family on the beach and a greater sense of privacy, in the water, on the beach, or within the home. There are simply few places in the world that allow a sense of seclusion at the beach, and certainly none as affordable as the Broadkill area.
After a day at the beach, rinse off at our private outdoor shower and store your gear under the covered carport. Enjoy a night out in the small town of Milton, at the local shops or drive into Lewis or Rehoboth beaches, both a short drive from your vacation home.
The BRAND NEW DOCK allows you to easily take out the readily available Kayaks for a family adventure or afternoon escape. Or have a relaxing day fishing or crabbing right off the back yard. Please obtain a very inexpensive fishing license to avoid any fines.
Handicap access available with elevator use upon request. As well as handicap bars in bathrooms.
"Bliss" offers a wonderful spacious environment on a secluded and undiscovered beach only a short drive from popular attractions and shopping.
LINENS NOT INCLUDED. All guests must supply their own sheets, blankets, towels and beach towels.

This is a beautiful home run by a good family. It is clean, the kitchen well stocked and the views are unbeatable. We have stayed here several years and just keep coming back. Highly recommend.
Spent a very enjoyable week with the whole family- the upper level great room was awesome. Beautiful views out both sides. Perfect for watching a storm roll in. The walk to the beach access was close although having to double back behind the oceanfront homes to get to the access over the dunes made it a little further than it first appeared- not a big deal unless you are transporting toddlers in addition to beach gear :) Thankful there was a wagon at the house! Furnishings and bedding are a little dated but the price is very reasonable for what you get- a comfortable house with gorgeous views, proximity to the beach, dock/kayaks, etc. Owner was responsive to communication. Beach is lovely and not crowded. Enjoyed our outings to nearby Lewes and Hopkins Farm Creamery- highly recommend for families with and without kids!

Host took hours to reply. We had plumbing issues that I had to spend my own money to fix. Owner accused us of things that just didn’t happen. The outside benches were a death trap and a 2 year old boy was injured just by sitting on the bench. Unless the owner fixes what seems to be pretty big issues, I wouldn’t advise renting from her, especially if you have small children. The only positive is the beach is right across the street and it’s a private beach. But the house itself needs a lot of work to make it safe.

Your review came on the heels of a message from me having to charge you for extra cleaning and damage to the property and notifying you that we would not be renting to you again. The message you left at the house was very positive and you seemed very happy with your stay. When you checked in, I let you know I was out of the country and gave you the information of my property manager who came out to house when needed. He was told NOT to come to fix the toilet after offering to come out. They did however spend 6 hours cleaning up the soiled mattresses, cigarette butts, and bodily fluids throughout the house that was left in extremely poor condition. I kindly notified you that you did not hold up your end of the rental contract and any extra charges incurred would be passed on to you.
We had a wonderful time together as a family and would recommend it to others. We loved the views and the sunsets!! Plenty of space to stretch out, well equipped kitchen and suitable for family game time.
We love this house. We've stayed here many times now and it's always comfortable and has what we need to make our vacation perfect. Communications with our host are timely, friendly, and helpful. This house is great for a group of friends and for families.
Had another excellent stay at Broadkill. This house simply has the best views out over the Broadkill River and easy access to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked and every year they make another great addition to the house or property. Would highly recommend staying here.
This is an unusual property. The views are fantastic!! You get to enjoy both the sunrises and the sunsets. Communication with the host was excellent. We had a great time.
Our stay was amazing and the hosts replied promptly. Their kitchen is the most well supplied kitchen we have had in a rental. The beds are super comfortable, outdoor sitting is very welcoming. Fishing and watching the sunsets are a favorite! Added benefit was the ping pong table for our young teenagers.
We had a wonderful time staying at Bliss. We traveled to the area for a funeral, and having this house allowed us to be together during a hard time. The views are STUNNING and having board games there to play made for a fun and relaxing time.
This was our second year staying at this wonderful house for our annual Girls Weekend. We love the views out of every window. You can watch the sunrise while drinking a cup of coffee at the dinning table and also watch the sunset while drinking a cocktail on the deck. Plenty of room to sit and read a book alone or enjoy games or crafts at the large table with the gang. Quiet area yet not a far drive to restaurants or stores.
The best house we’ve stayed in in the past 15 years. Beautiful views, lovely artistic decor, well appointed kitchen stocked with just about everything you need to prepare meals, decent beds, great space, great location between sea and sound…I could go on.
The house is wonderful with its 360 degree views. Having flowing water and a dock on the property allowed for fishing and crabbing multiple times a day. Enough bathrooms for our crowd and private spaces suited extended family members. All in all our week at Broadkill Beach was a hit!
The house and views are amazing! The location was perfect and there was something for everyone to enjoy! We fished, crabbed(caught enough for 2meals), kayaked, and swam/played at the beach. There was plenty of wildlife to keep our birder entertained. There are also plenty of quiet places to just sit and enjoy the view. We are a family of 9 ranging in age from 2-67 and we all went home happy and relaxed.
This is our second year here and it has been a great place get the entire family together for a week of summer fun. The quiet beach and the fishing dock and kayaks and a canoe are all right there for us to enjoy. Rehoboth, Lewes, and the Cape May ferry are only about a half hour away. The house offers spectacular views of both ocean and marsh, and excellent bird watching. Every guest was comfortable in their space.
Awesome stay at Bliss at Broadkill beach! Everything was clean and well maintained, and our host was very quick to respond back to any questions we had. Views were amazing from the house and we were able to make so many fun memories going to the beach and using the back dock. Would definitely consider returing for another stay :)
Wonderful extended family vacation at the shore. The setting was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. A short walk to the beach and a longer walk for ice cream. We had a great time.

About the host
Hosted by Amber L. Watters
We are a family of 5 with 2 adults and 3 children. We fell in love with Broadkill Beach in 2012 and have returned every year since. The house is perfect for us and allows family and friends to visit and stay in the in-law suite with it's own entrance. We love the laid back feel and lack of tourist crowds that Broadkill provides. Our yearly routine has been to spend a week or two at the beach, with the occasional trip into Rehoboth for the boardwalk, water parks, and shopping.
Why they chose this property
We rented this property ourselves during the summer of 2020, when children were in virtual school and my husband was working from home. It was the best environment we could imagine to help everyone through an isolated summer. The quiet beach allowed plenty of space to socially distance from other families and the rural lighting allowed our kids to see the Persied meteor shower. When it went on the market that fall, we knew it was for us.
What makes this property unique
The top floor rotunda of this circular house has top to bottom windows along the east and west facing wall giving views of the water on both sides. It is bathed in natural light from sun up to sun down. The same round design provides ample light into the bedrooms.
The in-law suite too has vast windows looking out over the wildlife preserve and a set of doors that can be opened to allow the summer air to pass through while providing enough shade to keep the room from getting too hot.
This section of Bayshore Drive has a narrow strip of land between the beach and the estuary, allowing for only two houses, one on each side of the road. The beach here is private to those homes and thus even more space per family than elsewhere in undiscovered Broadkill Beach.
