About this property

Family friendly home w/ 360 views of the bay and wild life preserve (sleeps 12)

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.

About the host

Hosted by Amber L. Watters

Host profile image
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.
