About this property

Seaside Osprey House features views of the bay/ocean on the Delaware Bay.

Be one of the first families to stay at our, new spacious beach house at Broadkill Beach! An inverted floor plan with main living areas on the top floor optimizes views of both the bay (just steps away on a private path) and views of Deep Hole creek (seen over the treetops in Primehook Wildlife Preserve). Kick back in our Great Room with large screen, hi-def smart TV and 300 mbps wi-fi. Ample sectional seating assures a relaxing retreat from the sun at the end of the day. The open kitchen and dining areas that flow out to both marsh-view and ocean-view screened in porches are a wonderful space for morning coffee or better yet, evening cocktails! Breathtaking views and seaside breezes abound with relaxation the first goal in mind. Dining and kitchen areas seat 14, sofa table for 3 (with USB ports) and yet another large table for 6 on the front screened-in porch. Plenty of room to spread out to bring all the kids and grandkids. Ceiling fans in all rooms.

A large elevator (3' x 5') is available from the ground floor up to all other levels. The house was designed to be handicapped/wheelchair friendly with 3' wide doorways, an accessible master bed/bathroom, and ramps over the porch doorway thresholds...and even access to the outdoor hot/cold shower to keep the sand to a minimum. We've added a bonus family room on the ground floor with another large-screened tv as a "get away from it all" room. Four adult bikes, five junior/kids bikes, beach chairs, kiddie pools, and two kayaks are available for your use. Parking for at least six cars, and the access path to the beach is just across from our driveway. Tax-free outlet shopping just down Highway Route 1 in Rehoboth. Quaint Milton is just a few miles away with great restaurants, shops, and pubs. Also, we're located just minutes away from DE Turf sports complex. Turnover day is Saturday in season with 7 night minimum rental (last week of May through end of August) Linens are NOT included, nor are towels. Spices and other condiments are included. Dogs allowed per Insured rental agreement. Please ASK!.

Family vaca

Osprey House was great for our purposes. 3 generations of family for a week. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. nicely furnished. Great porches, esp two screened porches. Broadkill is peaceful and quiet, but close to the boardwalk action of Rehobeth for those who want that. Private beach access is directly across the street. Milton is nearby for supplies. We mostly ate in, very comfortably.

Off the beaten path

Very nice property in a family friendly location. The property has anything you need to enjoy your vacation. There is minimal traffic and lots of privacy. The property is equipped an elevator making it easy to move in and out. The interior is well laid out creating a very open living space. The top level has a very large screened in deck great for enjoying the evening. Overall, very nice property with sufficient space for large family vacations.

Beautiful House, excellent host

The house was exactly as advertised. Super quick access to the beach, that was essentially private. We had an issue with the dishwasher and the host was super responsive and got it taken care of. House had everything we needed to cook for 14. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic House!

This house was just across the street from the row of houses lining the shore. Broadkill Beach felt like a private beach with only a few access points for the general public. We really felt like we had the beach to ourselves! The house was comfortable, well appointed, and spacious. Everything was new, the kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to cook up large meals every night. Recommend bringing binoculars to see the birds out over the marsh in the back and it was easy enough to rent linens that were delivered and picked up. Lovely home through and through! Amanda

Tranquility

This home is the perfect vacation spot. It’s ideally located on the private Broadkill Beach. It’s away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to everything. The home was well appointed with everything you need to cook. It also has fun for the kids with bikes, kayaks, and a ping pong table. Fires on the beach at night made for the best family time. Coffee at sunrise and sunset in the large screened in porch was tranquil. Our family had the best and most relaxing time. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

I was so sad to leave.. Can’t wait to go back…

As soon as we pulled on South Bayshore I knew I would fall in love with the area.. We had the most amazing time. Fire’s on the beach, easy access to the beach and a beautiful huge house.. We will for sure be back again..
