About this property

We are right on water, Dogs are invited. 2 nite min. 3 bedrooms two bath.

The home has all new wood plank flooring installed 2023. New bedding installed this year. New 22 ft refrigerator w/ ice maker. It is dog friendly. New weber grill and all new living room furniture (2024) Kayak supplied, bring your life vest. Added new decking and both stairs have gates for safety. Dogs have no weight limit. The Rockery Golf course is five minutes away.
Special note: Due to Covid 19, we sanitize all hard services to minimize any germs. Broadkill installed a dune with fencing on both side. There are access points every 3-4 properties. We have immediate access at our property eliminating a 200 ft walk before getting to the beach! There is a $30.00 dog fee per night for each dog. The great thing is the beach is semi private where you do not have other visitors parking in front of our home to access the beach.
Enjoy the best month of the year, warm days, cool nights-hear the waves with your windows open! 'JUST PACK YOUR BAGS- WE'VE GOT THE REST!!' We help you in your vacation planning by providing the following items: all kitchen needs including dishwashing supplies, laundry detergent, laundry softener, toilet tissue, paper towels, trashbags, towels, sheets and pillows. We updated our kitchen and updated primary bath. The home offers a open floor plan and water view is available from every seat in the living area with our 9 ft glass sliding doors. Large stackable washer dryer is included. All three bedrooms are spacious, and two bedrooms face the water to enjoy the sounds of the waves at night. We offer 2 flat screen TV with Comcast and wireless high speed internet. There is also a TV in the Master bedroom.. We offer two queen beds, one full size and one single beds. We provide large weber propane grill, outdoor shower and three outdoor seating areas.

Enjoy the 360 degree view from an all-sided wrap around gated porch. Face the beautiful Delaware Bay from one side, and simply turn around to view Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge on the other. Bring your binoculars to enjoy many, many species of migrating birds and various wildlife present in the refuge. Come out at dusk for the gorgeous sunset or later at night to see all the stars in the dark sky. Also visible from the porch are the lights of Cape May, NJ and those of Lewes, DE. Take a few steps to the sandy beach and collect such treasures as seashells, seaglass, sharks teeth and beautiful stones.

Broadkill offers a quiet, relaxing setting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Kick back and read a great book on the private beach without the crowds of the public beaches to disturb you. Dogs are permitted on the beach year around and you can have a bonfire on the beach too! Kids will enjoy the small waves of the Delaware Bay as you sit in the water nearby. Visit the Broadkill Store which offers fishing tackle, an assortment of grocery items, sandwiches and great milkshakes to order, a small gift area, and don't miss the homemade donuts on Sunday!

Just five miles away enjoy the historic ship building town of Milton. Home of Dog Fish Brewery (tours available), casual dining, grocery stores, pharmacy, antiquing and seasonal festivals. Just down the road is Lewes, the first settlement in DE, with a great deal of shops, museums and fine dining. For the kids (and kids at heart alike), try the Rehobeth Beach boardwalk for rides, games and strolling the boardwalk.

Great location

Hosts are very attentive, welcoming, and gracious. The property is located in a perfect spot with easy beach access, beautiful views, and everything you need for an effortless stay. Great mattresses and everything you need in the kitchen. Gates on the deck keep the dogs in. It's quiet, restful, and just wonderful. We hope to return very soon.

Great Pet-Friendly Stay

A great stay in one of the prettiest, private beaches. Extremely clean property, easy check in and check out, right on the water and perfect for a long weekend or a week stay. We brought our dog and the owners were more than accommodating. The home has everything you need. We look forward to our next stay!

Perfect Location, Beatiful Views

Our vacation was wonderful! We had beautiful weather, the location was perfect, and John and Cathy were such a help! The house is very nice and had everything you might need for cooking and relaxing. The wrap-around deck was great! It kept our dogs contained and still able to run around and exercise while we were grilling and enjoying the views. And to top it off, a beautiful double rainbow after a rain shower!

Beautiful and Relaxing

The house was spotless and exactly as it appears in the pictures, with everything that you need supplied. But it is all about the beach, which is right outside your back door, beautiful, quiet and dog friendly. And if you want an evening out, Milton is 10 minutes away, charming and has dog friendly restaurants with talented entertainment. I highly recommend this house.

Perfect Spot!!

Property was as described, wrap around deck was great for tracking the sun, super dog-friendly. Beautiful sunrises, quiet beach, preserves and state parks to walk nearby, fun to explore Lewes' shops and restaurants. John and Cathy were only a phone call away, stopped by to greet us and to check on our stay. They are looking to replace the master bedroom mattress, curtains in the livingroom, and add a few smaller amenities. This was our first visit to Delaware...we look forward to coming back!!

Location, location, location!

Cute cottage right on the beach with wrap around deck. Sun all day, or shade when you want it. Comfortable, cozy building with amenities and linens. There is nothing fancy about this spot, but it has the comforts needed. Plenty of deck seating, and just a few steps to the beach. Watch the sunrise or see the moonlight from the house. If a few dust bunnies, crumbs or squishy beds don't phase you, this is great!

Wonderful location!

My husband and I have now stayed at this property 3-4 times over the last decade, both before and with kids. This trip was woth our 8, 6, 4, and 2 year olds and 2 dogs. The proximity to the beach is a huge plus to the property and the large wrap around deck is great to be able to leave the dogs outside for a bit when the sand starts to get too hot for their paws. The kitchen is well stocked which is important to us as we cook most of our own meals on vacations. The hosts have always been quick to check in and responsive if we need them, but are respectful of our space as well. We will absolutely continue to return!

Perfect Beach Getaway

This was the perfect beach getaway! The home was clean, cozy, comfortable, and so well stocked. Everything we needed or wanted was provided, including all the bedding and towels, so we did not have to bring all of these things with us. It was great sitting out on the wraparound deck and enjoying the stunning views of the bay. It was just a short, easy walk to the beach. So glad to have found this great, pet-friendly beach house. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the beach as well as the large spacious, gated deck which gave him plenty of room of roam when not on the beach. We were extremely pleased with all the amenities this house had to offer.

Great vacation location

Broadkill Beach is as close as you can get to a private beach steps from the deck. The views across the bay or over the marshland are right in front of your eyes and hard to turn away from. The house is well kept, clean and provided what we needed for the week. Some minor essentials such as paper towels, soap etc..are provided and helpful. Many attractions such as Cape Henlopen state park, the Lewes Ferry to Cape May or the boardwalk in Rehoboth are just a short ride from Broadkill. The owners were very nice people, easy to work with and care about you enjoying your stay at their property. Overall we will be planning another visit back.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy & John Yost

Host profile image
We have been offering the home for rental for over 15 years with no negative feed back. We live across the street (part time) and perform needed maintenance asap and the home is always very clean. Things do happen, we are there to help remedy any issues.
One thing we do is quickly introduce ourselves to the guests after they are settled in and make sure they have what they need. Our goal is to provide a relaxing vacation away from the over crowded beaches of neighboring towns along the coast. Our oldest daughter loved the marine aspects and went on to receive her PHD as a Marine Parasentologist-her goal was to provide fishing for young people for years to come!

Why they chose this property

It is designed for a couple wanting to get away or a family retreat where the access to the water is virtually steps from the sand and water. We offer three large bedrooms with the master having TV.
We are dog friendly and provide the security of both stairs having locking gates for the wrap around decking (360 degrees) for children and animals. Our kitchen is equiped like your home and provide new appliances including a new flat top stove and 22 cubic foot refrigerator with an ice maker stove.
You can sit on the east deck facing the water to view the sunrise and the west deck to view the sunsets. Traffic is minimal due to South Bayshore Drive being a deadend street lined with vacation and full timers homes'
If you are looking for a multi-story property, this is not for you! One floor living plan offers easy access for seniors but we are on piling so there are steps to get up to the decks.

What makes this property unique

We make your packing easy! We supply the linens, towels and beach towel, needed detergents, foil and plastic wrap to name a few. Our deck wraps around the entire home so you have perfect full view of the water and enjoy the sun rises along with a great view of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, you also get to see the sun set!. Beach chairs are NOT included. We offer a large weber propane grill. There is no additional charges for what we supply.
You are right on the beach and from the deck, you can see the dolphins swim up and down the bay as they feed-wow what a sight. Dogs are permitted on the beach year around but leash laws are in effect.
Private beach, look right or left and you may see 30 people. No one can park and enter the beach unless they are home owners or guests by the home.
Alcoholic beverages are permitted along with bon fires.
