We are north of Rehoboth & Lewes, DE. We are east of Milton, DE off Route 16 E. on South Bayshore Drive. I am Wendy & my husband, Bob passed away 8/31/19 & is deeply missed. The true reason we purchased the property at the southernmost end of this beach is that Bob LOVED to fish.
I was allowed to buy an empty lot in 1985, as long as it was the furthest south on the creek, with a sloping sandy shoreline to the tidal water of the back yard so Bob could access his favorite fishing spots directly from his second home on Broadkill Beach.
We purchased this lot in 1985, built the shell of the house in 1986, & completed the efficiency on our own. We had a boat ramp & dock before “finished plumbing” in the house! It became the best investment we could ever make & enjoy!
Access to the Delaware Bay in the front & tidal waters in the back yard of our property allowed us to have all the adventures anyone could hope for in a vacation home.
The amazing bonus is that the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge adjoins our backyard. No one will ever be able to build on this property & it is ours to enjoy as far as the eye can see.
In 1995, with help of friends & family, we completed the interior of the home. When the house needed new siding & roof, we enclosed the staircase to join the main part of the house to the efficiency so there was protection from the weather when accessing these areas.
This was our second home & I would love for your family to come to enjoy it as much as we did.
Lasting memories created by our children playing, swimming, drifting to their grandma’s dock ¼ mile upstream with the tidal water, catching crabs, minnows & snails, inspecting all of their parts & learning how to operate canoes, boats, kayaks, & jet skis from the ramp & dock of our property will always be cherished memories for me.
