Enjoy the privacy of a gated community, without the gates. Prime Hook is located perfectly behind a wildlife refuge. Not many people know about our oasis on the bay. Close enough to the excitement, if you want it. And then come back and enjoy a bonfire on the beach.

We are a family of 4. My wife and I bought the Beach House 17 years ago. When we bought it was a small cottage from the 50's. 9 years ago we tore down the cottage and built our beautiful, elevated dream beach home. We have had two sons since having the beach house. The family enjoys coming to the beach year round. The kids can play outside like I used to be able to do when I was a kid. We have a chocolate lab that loves the water and the beach and we take him with us every chance. The beach is hidden and has been a safe haven for us over the years
Patrick Leonard purchased this House in 1994
We chose this location because of the privacy and lack of commercial enterprise. We are close enough to everything that Rehoboth, Lewes and Dewey have to offer, but far enough that we can enjoy the serenity of a peaceful day. We like to relax on vacation. Primehook is the place for relaxing.
The boys enjoy, kayaking and biking. The wife and I enjoy, sunning, swimming, walking the sandbar at low tide, its awesome. So much to do. The First floor has the Kitchen, Dining room and Living room. There are also two bedrooms on this floor, each with a full bath. One king size bed and one Queen. The first deck is on this level. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on this level as well. The second floor has A full Bath, a family room and the third bedroom. The only way to describe this bedroom is HUGE. There are three full size beds and a twin bunk, and still plenty of room to spare. The Family room provides a great place to relax and for the family to spread out. There is also a deck on the second level. On a good day one can see for miles. In nearby Milton, about 9 miles away, we have a Food Lion, a Walgreens, a Subway, a Chinese carryout, a Domino's and one of Our favorites, the Miltonian Restaurant with Greek/Italian and American cuisine. For more shopping we have Lewes and Rehoboth Beach and (Outlets) south on Route 1. There is the Boardwalk in Rehoboth and further south, in Ocean City as well as historic sites, theatres, amusement parks, the incomparable Henlopen State Park on the ocean in Rehoboth and all kinds of experiences awaiting you at the shore.

My wife and I had a good time with my son's family of five at this somewhat secluded vacation home in Prime Hook Beach, DE. The house was very nice and we had plenty of room with 3 full baths.
The ocean was viewable from our balconies and 1/2 block away. The sandy beach was very quiet but had many Horseshoe Crab shells washed up on the sand.
We were less than 1/2 hour's drive away from Rehobeth Beach and about an hour's drive from Ocean City, MD which we visited while on the trip.
The owner and his wife, who have owned this very comfortable home for 23 years, were very cordial and answered (through VRBO) all my questions efficiently and quickly.
We had a good experience and couldn't have had a nicer vacation!
The house was very comfortable and we loved having the decks to sit out on. It had everything we needed and was in a lovely spot. Could not have been easier to get to the beach and enjoy the views.
What a fantastic time, in a wonderful, clean, up to date house! You immediately walk into an open kitchen and living space. The bedrooms were perfect and clean as a whistle, and so were the bathrooms.
The views of the bay and marsh are brilliant for sunset, bird and bug watching, right from the two level decks! It was a little buggy but expected that for end of August.
We had the best time on the beach, which is literally across the street from the house. Bay was perfect for our 2 year old, who is still a little afraid of the ocean. He loved looking at all of the horseshoe crabs!
The house is about a 25 minute drive to Rohoboth, which has Funland, perfect for our son. The boardwalk is small and manageable for small children. Lots of places to eat and play games and some shopping. Super close to Tanger outlets.
All in all, I give our vacation a 9 out of 10! A bit off the beaten path makes it a 9. I will definitely keep this place in my back pocket for future vacations! Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!
Prime Hook Beach is an amazing vacation spot if you love privacy, a quite beach, gentle, ocean waters and scenic views everywhere. The house is steps away from the ocean but close enough to Lewes, Rohoboth and Ocean City if you need a day of excitement. The wildlife refuge behind the house is a bird lover paradise. The house was just the right size for our party of six.
We really enjoyed our stay at Prime Hook Beach. The house was lovely and well equipped. So nice to have linens included! A short walk to the bay beach was a daily routine and the quite neighborhood was so relaxing. We did venture out to find better swimming beaches during our stay but appreciated the natural beauty of the bay and the wildlife refuge. We had a toddler, dog, 2 grandparents and 4 other adults all under one roof comfortably which was a huge plus! We highly recommend this house and this location if you want a quiet, off the beaten path, experience.
Our family and another family from DC (four adults and two kids total, plus a family dog) spent a fabulous long weekend at the Prime Hook Beach House. The house was ideally situated for our group, with the adult couples each enjoying our own bedroom with an en suite bathroom on the main floor, and the kiddos turning the top floor into their private quarters. The house is well-appointed, with fluffy towels and a well-stocked kitchen for preparing meals, with assorted pots, pans, bowls, utensils and a pantry with spices, oils, coffee, tea, etc., plus foils and wraps for leftovers.
The best part was being right across from the beach, which was blissfully uncrowded. The folks we did meet were super friendly types who loved on our dog and gave us tips for where to go around the area. We were in good company when we built a beach bonfire one night and made s'mores. Under the house is nice grill and a fully tricked out shed, with everything you can imagine needing for a beach weekend - chairs, umbrellas, body boards, sand toys, bicycles, a skateboard! There was not enough time to try it all!
It did rain one day on our trip, but we were fully entertained in the house, as there is a large stockpile of games and puzzles for guests of all ages.
Pets $100.00 Cleaning fee waived if booking a full week.
