Cute older cottage with some modern updates. Great location steps away from the beach. Full fenced yard is great for traveling with kids and pets. Host had great communication during our stay. Would recommend the “Sea Shanty” and stay again if traveling to the area.

Hi Hunter, Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Around Broadkill beach it is customary to bring your own linens or use a linen service. Sorry to hear that the linen service could not provide linens that weekend. Hope to host you again in the future. Take care now

Short relaxing getaway

This is a cute little cottage right next to the beach. (Technically 3rd lot back) but it’s right there!Cottage is older, but it was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. Even a little fenced in backyard for our corgi (just be careful of the cactuses back there). We spent a LOT of time on the screened in front porch. It was a nice place to sit and relax!Neighborhood and beach are very quiet. Great place for a walk. There is very little traffic. The Broadkill store is a great local store and good for a breakfast sandwich or ice cream. They also have bait and a few essentials.Prime Hook Refuge (on the way in) offered some great trails. Just be very wary of ticks and mosquitos.We would stay here again!
