House was a nice retreat from life. Bay view was relaxing along with a quiet street to do our daily walks. House was as advertised. Gunnar was proactive and responsive to our questions. House had all the comforts of home, plus beach related stuff to make days at beach enjoyable.
Beautiful view! Host is very friendly and kept us informed of any changes related to the property throughout our stay. Property clean and comfortable. Would definitely rent again!
The Buoy House is always a treat to stay at for our family! It’s spacious with excellent views of the Bay and has a covered screened in porch for relaxing. Prime Hook is quiet but not too far from restaurants and shopping. The people are friendly and it’s fun to swim and beach comb. The house owner responds quickly and goes the extra mile to make sure your stay is enjoyable. We definitely recommend this place!
This was our first time renting a house on the beach and we had such an amazing time! We enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk up and down the path from the house to the beach. My son and my niece were able to boogie board on some decent sized waves at high tide. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
This is a lovely, well-maintained and well-appointed place. The owner is very responsive. This was our second time staying here. The mosquitoes were a bit rough this time, but repellent is an effective tool against them.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful beach house! The outdoor deck was perfect for morning coffee and dinner. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, coastal escape!
The Buoy House has got to be the best rental I've ever stayed in. It was neat and clean, well-maintained, well-stocked, well-furnished, just steps off the beach, located in a wonderful community, and the sunrises across the bay are spectacular. I don't know what else to say except "perfect"!
Enjoyed another peaceful week at this beautiful home on the shores of the Delaware Bay. As we did last fall, we saw again a pod of dolphins moving up the Bay toward the Atlantic. Looking forward to our next visit!
Our time here was so peaceful. The solitude on the beach can't be beat. Having a fire on the beach has always been on the bucket list so it was awesome to check that off. The wildlife refuge is a great place to take a walk in nature. We seen multiple beach bunnies which was a first but very entertaining. The house itself is beautiful and well prepared for guests. Very clean and serene. If we ever drop by Delaware again we will be sure to stay here.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very nice, very clean and great access to the beach. Our host kept in touch with any questions or information we may need. We would love to stay there again.
Beautiful view, calm, quiet.... justt what we needef.
Property was clean and was supplied with what we needed. View is beautiful and we were able to walk right onto the beach. Owner was very communicable, kind and helpful. We will return.
We loved this place so much we booked another trip there within an hour of arrival! Just a perfect location right on the beach, lovely property manager, and very nice restful getaway.
Cozy home, located right where ocean enters bay. Every year the Bouy house has been clean and offers many amenities. Evening fires on the beach are so relaxing. Very responsive host. Be aware that this is in a nature preserve, and all that comes with it.
If you want to walk outside and be on the beach this is the spot for you. It's removed from any real kind of beach-town kitsch and just super simple and lovely.
Very Peaceful location - excellent property & host
Really great location and property- clean, peaceful, everything you need. Sleeps 6, but loft futon area probably best for teens/ kids rather than adult couple. Thanks Gunnar - we’ll be back!
Had a fantastic time in Prime Hook. House was extremely clean and owner was incredibly responsive.

Dorothy and I absolutely love Prime Hook! It is a beautiful place to relax and we love the beach. We love the peace and quiet and the feeling of privacy you get as you drive across the wildlife refuge towards the beach. Its great that shopping and excellent restaurants are only 15-20 minutes away .
