Comfortable, clean and a great location. The weather was great! If you like small town atmosphere, friendly people and quiet beaches this is the place for you. Our family loves all the Delaware Beach towns!
All our cares slipped away as we pulled into the driveway to this beachfront retreat. Comfortable, clean and cozy rooms provided great sleep and room to relax. The proximity to the water was convenient and effortless. I look forward to staying there again.
Lovely place for us and our pets! It was so nice to just relax. It’s right on the beach and has a great fenced in yard for the pups!! They have just about thought of everything you need for a beach day and have it there in the shed for you to use. Was wonderful!!!!!Definitely would stay there again!
We've stayed here a couple of other times- house is perfect, location is wonderful! It was nice and quiet this time of year which is exactly what we were looking for. Our pup had a blast...the fenced in yard is perfect!
We had a wonderful stay for our anniversary weekend! Suzy is an incredible host, was so on top of communication. This cozy beach house was clean in a wonderful quiet area away from all of the tourist areas where you can really just enjoy nature. We feel so recharged! Still close enough to get quickly into town and enjoy restaurants, shops and mini golf. Our sweet old dog got to enjoy the very dog friendly beach. We can’t wait to come back with the kids!
My dog and I had a great time here. The beach is right in the backyard, and we didn't bump into any other people. The home is one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in, and Suzy was very communicative. Would definitely come back again!

Lovely little cottage on the beach!
We had a wonderful time here, and plan to come back. We recommend this little place for others!
The cottage, beach, and community were just what I needed after an especially stressful spring. The house was clean and bright and cheery. Being right on the beach reminded me of childhood summers at my uncle's cottage in Slaughter Beach.
Overall - very nice- comfy beds- easy layout and great location. We are building in PH- and have stayed in several homes there- as we watch our dream come to fruition. If someone is renting this in the colder months- the main sitting area is definitely chillier- the electric fireplace helps- but just a heads up that it’s cold in that room- we also only had use of Keurig - but I believe a coffee maker and grinder are coming soon according to the host - but just double check before you start your drive:) We hope to rent again once or twice - before we can sleep in our own house! Thanks for having us! PH is such a special place! Oh- fenced yard was perfect for our older dogs who struggle with steps and seeing and hearing too :)

We would always welcome you back to our small piece of paradise.
Definetely Relaxing, quiet and great place to stay
We only had a short stay. The house was amazing, relaxing, clean and had lots of games and puzzles. And it was literally right on the beach! The fenced in yard was great for our dogs.

Our family wanted a place to get away and was able to stay here and bring our dogs. We all had a great time, relaxed, enjoyed the bay and the area. This house is right on the dunes and a short walk to the beach. Great beach getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Suzy Schurman
My family loves Prime Hook Beach. We have many fond memories of our visits and exploring the area. The kids are now grown, and their busy schedules keep us from returning to the beach each summer. We hope you will make this your home away from home each summer! I have a new operations manager, Suzy Schurman who loves this property as much as I do. She has a lot of energy and is great with working with people. I’ve asked her to include a little about herself.
I am an Olympian, Mother, Wife & Animal lover. Just like many of you, life gets very hectic & challenging. My family & I vacationed at Ed’s cottage in Prime Hook and didn’t want to leave. We loved this secluded area & cottage so much we decided to purchase it. We want to carry on Ed,s tradition of hassle free, pet friendly & honesty. Ed & I will jointly share this transition so that I can get to know you all and make your vacation memorable. I look forward in seeing you here soon.😊
“Prime Hook, the best kept secret”
Why they chose this property
This is a natural preserved beach with no retail, hustle or bustle. We have a private secluded beach and a completely new fenced in yard for our animal lovers. There are farm stands, antique stores minutes away. We are close to all of the tourist resorts such as Lewes, Rehoboth, Bethany, Dewey, Fenwick Island, and Ocean City. We are about a 20-minute drive from the Cape May Ferry (you watch the ferry cross to Cape May from Delaware on the beach), and about 20 minutes to the Casino in Harrington. The best part of our beach when you are here is nothing seems close until you leave the property.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is located steps from the beach. You can watch the abundance of wildlife as nature intended. There are no crowds...just wildlife and the natural world at its best! Go back in time in this quaint 1960's beach cottage. Enjoy the simple life! No boardwalks, no shopping or restaurants on the beach. No stress, no worries. Private and quiet. A Perfect retreat for families & animal lovers.
