Vacation
This vacation house is in a great location—there’s a waterway in the back and the beach is just across the street. The house is very spacious and comfortably accommodated our group. While the property could use some updates, particularly with the windows (many didn’t stay open and some screens had holes), it didn’t take away from our overall experience. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely rent again.

40th Anniversary Trip
My husband and I and our two grown children and their spouses and two grandsons and two dogs had a fabulous time. Our oldest grandson, my husband and son and son-in-law went crabbing, and caught several crabs. Loved that the beach was steps from the rental and everyone loved Broadkill beach. Most days no one was there. Our 11 yr.old Lab loved swimming there too.

Relaxing week at the beach!
The house is located on Broadkill Beach. It felt like we had a private beach as there was no others near us for most of the week. The house comfortably fit our family of six and was well equipped. The host checked in on us several times. It was a 20-25 minute drive to Lewes or Rehoboth Beach if you wanted go out to eat or do some of the local activities (shopping, boardwalk, mini-golf).

Great Stay!
This was our second stay at this rental, everything was wonderful! The owner is very sweet and helpful. We took our dogs and they had a fun time at the beach :) The only downside is the biting flies…. Def bring bug spray! Overall, the place is comfortable and easily accommodated our group of adults, 2 seniors and 4 kids :) we will most definitely stay here again! Love this place!

great getaway
Our first time visiting Broadkill beach. The house was lovely, well kept and well stocked. Amazing views of the wildlife refuge and sunsets. The house is spacious and we enjoyed the open kitchen and large table for meals and games. We hope to return in warmer weather and take advantage of all the outdoor spaces.

Excellent rental
This home is exactly as listed. It is clean, well laid out, nicely decorated, and is in a great location. We loved that it was right across the street from the beach. It also has gorgeous views off of the back porch overlooking the nature preserve. The sunsets are amazing and it is great for relaxing and bird watching. The owner was also an excellent host. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Lovely beach week
This is our second stay with 5 adults and 2 children. The house fits our family perfectly with plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen is well stocked and large for several people to be working at the same time. We love the back deck overlooking the canal, gorgeous sunsets and morning coffee. The beach entrance is down a bit further this year but still close and easy to go back and forth with kids. This is no reflection of the house or host but the biting flies were vicious a couple of days, still we persisted and made every day a beach day- just bring insect repellent! Loved our stay 😊

Breath Taking, Memory Making
We loved getting to spend the week together at this beautiful home. Many incredible memories made for my family. We caught a couple bushel of crabs from the dock. Hooked a few fish from the beach just a few steps away. Spent a few nights eith my nephew in funland riding rides. The beach was peaceful, with few others to share it with and we couldnt ask for better weather.
The house is so comfortable and homey. From the second you walk through the door it was easy to rest, relax and just enjoy the beautiful setting. The nature preserve in the back yard was enjoyed every morning and evening. Not only did we get to share the great view, but it also led to great conversations that only happen in a place like this. What a great week! Thanks Laurie for your kindness!
Also youre gonna be blown away by the sunsets!

A great house and location
The house was as described. clean and plenty of room for our two families. We did cook in most nights and the kitchen was well stocked.
The location was perfect. Loved being so close ( a two minute walk across the street ) to the bay beach. The bay beach was quiet and private.
Rehobeth beach is a 35 minute drive and our family enjoyed having both options.
Laurie, the owner, called to check in on our arrival day and was readily available via text to answer a few questions.
Favorite part was sitting on the back deck in the morning with a cup of coffee and watching the birds. Our families also got lucky catching crabs off the back dock.
A great week and we lucked out with the weather.

Very nice house
This is a lovely home and we enjoyed our stay here! The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. for cooking. We had a couple minor problems that the owners addressed for us right away. The only thing I would say to improve it would be a smoke detector on the second floor (I didn’t feel comfortable letting my kids sleep there in the kid room because there wasn’t one.) Also a desk somewhere in the house would have been great, there is plenty of space to add one for people working remotely.

Nice house on the beach
Great location. House is right across the street from the path to the beach. Nice access to the channel from the dock in back. Kitchen is well equipped and house is comfortably furnished.
Sent a note when we arrived, one mid-week, and one when we moved out and never got any responses at all from the property manager. This is the first VRBO we have stayed in where we got zero response from the property manager. Also the trash and recycling were overflowing when we got there.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Broadkill Beach for a quiet beach vacation.

Another great stay!
This was our second stay at Laurie’s wonderful house in Broadkill. We love the open layout of the home and how well stocked everything is. We had two families and a pup with us and there was plenty of room to move around and hang out. The dock on the back of the house was great for crabbing but the sunset views are second to none. We also love how close the beach access is from the home. We spent the entire week crabbing and fishing from the dock, and surf fishing from the beach. There was only one other family on the beach with us during the week so it was otherwise complete calm, quiet and secluded. It definitely beats being around all of the crowds on other Delaware beaches! We got lucky because the green head flies weren’t too bad this week, but beware, because they can get bad if the winds shift off of the sound side. The mosquitoes, however, were awful this week but we came prepared with an enforced arsenal of bug repellents, lotions and anti-itch cream. That comes from experience.
Laurie is an excellent host and is incredibly responsive to messages. She makes every effort to ensure that needs are met and that her guests are comfortable. We appreciate her wonderful service and beach home and highly recommend!

Beach vacation
The house exceeded our expectations, clean, the kitchen as described by another renter is the best appointed one I’ve been in on a vacation. We had 5 adults, 2 children (5 and 2) and a dog and had plenty of room to spread out, be together or have some private time. We loved the outdoor shower! So nice after a sandy day at the beach. We literally spent every day at the beach with one trip to an ocean beach and an evening at Dogfish Brewery. Yes, there are flies at the beach, their presence is dependent on the wind direction but bug spray did the trick. The bay beach is phenomenal for finding all sorts of wildlife in the surf and tidal pools and we saw turtles swimming every day and the kids got to see a diamondback terrapin making its way across the beach from the dunes. We also loved the dock on the preserve for sunsets and fishing. Our only issue was garbage pickup- when we arrived the cans were out but full so it was a bit challenging but the owner was responsive and assisted us with figuring out a solution. We would love to return!

Gorgeous Broadkill vacation home
Our family (four adults, one child, two dogs) had a wonderful time over Spring Break at this beautiful home. The location is ideal -- across the road from the Bay (with nice views out the front) and right on the creek and wildlife preserve in the back. We especially enjoyed the dock, rented a kayak and did some fishing. One night - because of the 2 foot difference in tidal surge each day, and the fact that the dock is high, we had to time kayaking around high tide, which was fine.
The house itself is wonderful - nice artwork and decorations throughout but not too much, nice kitchen with all the essentials (but again, not too much). The dining room with a large table was perfect for family time - dinner, games, crafts. (and there is a nice supply of books, games, and puzzles on hand). There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out and have our own space when we wanted.
We didn't really use the upstairs, but it had a nice seating area and bonus bedroom -- we could have had a few more people.
Laurie was wonderful and great about checking in to make sure we had everything we needed.
We've rented about 6+ homes in Broadkill over the years and this may be our favorite. We hope to return!

Better than the description!
:Kitchen equipment is much better than other places we have stayed: superior pots/pans, sharp knives. (Needs more large mixing/serving bowls.) Mattresses great; pillows not so much (flat and few). No mosquitoes from tidal creek bc water is in motion. Great crabbing/fishing from dock. Note that there is NO HOT TUB. There is a 2-person soaking tub in master.Great quiet, mostly owner neighborhood. Beach difficult during day because of biting flies (leave bloody wounds) and other itch-producing bugs. Early AM and later day are fine. Hardly anyone on beach. Water super warm and calm. Great tidal pools with critters. Lovely decor and furnishings (higher end), lots of games/books. No beach equipment, but some crab traps (we left one.) Good reading lamps in master BR. Flies in house but there is zapper. Tiny ants on sill and counter in kitchen/dining. Amazing birds, multi-colored views over preserve, silence. No restaurants nearby, but lots in Lewes. Grocery about 15 minutes away with liquor and drug stores in same spot. Excellent communication with host who is ready to please.Super place for treasure hunts with kids.Extra large very new laundry machines.

Family Rendezvou
We booked this property for a two week stay. During this time, we had some friends and family stay with us for various periods of time. The house could easily accommodate the 7 or 8 that we had at any given time. We loved the large kitchen and dining area where everyone could get together. Having access to the river/creek behind the house was great because we could catch and eat crabs anytime we wanted! And yes, the sunsets are amazing! If there was anything negative, it was the mosquitoes and flies from the marsh could get bad at times and the smell from the marsh in the evening was bad, depending on which way the wind was blowing. you do kinda get used to that! Also, for older folks (like us) the front steps visually blend together, and you don't always see the edge of the step. We had some missteps there. Also, the shower in the Master B.R. could use some grab bars, especially for those of us with bad knees! If we had any questions, Laurie was easily reachable. All in all...we had a great time.

Wonderful Stay!
We stayed in Laurie’s house over Spring Break and included two families with young children. We really loved the location of the property- just across the street from the bay and the beautiful Prime Hook refuge as our backyard! The sunsets were beautiful in the evenings and we were lucky not to have any green flies or mosquitoes since it’s still early in the spring. There were some wasps around the deck and dock area but nothing too crazy. We spent our mornings fishing on the dock, shelling on the beach and enjoying the open floor plan of the home with plenty of space to spread out and move around. After naps, we spent the afternoon hours on the beach which we had allllll to ourselves! That’s one great thing about Broadkill- the beaches aren’t overcrowded. The best part was being able to run to the house in just a few steps for bathroom breaks or to grab anything we needed. The home itself was furnished nicely and the kitchen was stocked pretty well. Laurie checked in with us to see if there was anything we needed and dropped off a few things on the first morning as requested. She also turned on the water for the outdoor shower. It wasn’t in yet, probably because of the time of year and we just happened to REALLY luck out with having perfect beach weather in April! This type of service and care is unheard of! We needed to bring our own linens and towels, so keep that in mind, but all of the beds did have mattress protectors, blankets and pillows. Paper towels and toilet paper were provided as well as some soaps, and there were some trash bags available as well. The recycling bin was totally full but Laurie took care of that for us as well. She was a wonderful host and we would definitely stay again!

A Phila native, I discovered Broadkill Beach in 1995 and made it my permanent residence in 1998. I enjoy providing a space where guests can unwind and spend quality time with nature and each other.
Varför värden valde detta boende
Nature abounds here -- Beach just across the street -- stunning sunsets, and certainly bring your binoculars for great birding or just nature viewing of the 10,000 acre Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge right behind the house. Bring your kayak or canoe the house's private dock and take a paddle in Deep Hole Creek which leads to the Broadkill River. Or enjoy the beach with convenient beach access just across the street.
Vad som gör detta boende unikt
Awesome sunset views and dock in rear of the house so bring your kayaks, fishing poles, crab traps and beach toys! Great panoramic views of Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge from the rear deck, or views of the Delaware Bay just across the street. Nature lovers will be in heaven!
