Quaint Beachfront Cottage, Panoramic Bay Views! Sleeps 8, Pet Friendly

Love Rehoboth, but want a break from the crowds? Want peace and quiet in a natural setting? Then rent on direct beach/bayfront on the white sandy Broadkill Beach on Delaware Bay....just a dozen country miles NW of Rehoboth. Beach comb, fish, canoe, hike the wildlife preserve, golf, enjoy the bay view from a huge porch. We hope you can come see for yourself! Enjoy the natural setting, the natural beauty, the natural quiet!

Broadkill Beach, where the house is located, is a quiet old fishing village that is entirely residential (all single family homes), and one quaint country store. The town is NW of Rehoboth/Lewes, close enough to hop in the car to hit the outlets, restaurants, or the boardwalk, but far enough that you enjoy peace and quiet. Broadkill's sandy beach is great for sandcastles, kayaking, beach combing, and the huge wildlife refuge (Primehook) is another attraction. A few miles inland is historic Milton, home of a huge collection of Victorian era architecture, bookshop, antique shops, ice cream parlor, as well as being the home of a couple of Delaware's 19th century governors--there large homes are still there. This is truly an area for all kinds of vacation tastes.

Together, the beach, the country store, and the cottage create a 'Summer of '42' type setting (as my neighbor calls it). The house was built while the baby boomer's were still riding skate boards and the 'greatest generation' was still the 'working generation'. We have, in fact, summer patrons who came here first as children themselves, and they now bring their grand children. The cottage includes a huge porch and a deck.

The cottage also includes the living room, and 3 bedrooms. The one full bath and one half bath inside is complemented by a shower stall outside. There is more parking than you can use, complements of Broadkill's low density of housing. Lastly, the house and the porch face on direct beach/bay front. At night you can see the twinkling lights of Cape May, as well as the pitching and rolling lights of the Lewes-Cape May Ferry.

Out of the Way Beach House
Quick access to the beach, beautiful views from the porch, this 3 bedroom home had everything we needed. Maybe a larger TV and a Kuerig could be added, but otherwise a good time was had by all.

Magical Vacation
We brought two grandchildren, ages 2 + 3 to enjoy some special time at the beach.. We visited Milton and the beautiful park/playground and Rehoboth for a day. We did a Pirate ship excision out of Lewes thst was great fun for kids. The house was great + the cousins shared the twin bedroom which was perfect for them. They were facinated by the bunk beds, but not quite ready for that yet. Having 2 bathrooms was a plus! We loved the enclosed porch + ate our meals + did some crafts + watched the birds. Being able to have a fire + toast marshmallows under the stars was amazing. A little bit of a hike fir a 2 + 3 year old on the path to the beach, but we brought a beach wagon + did fine. We lappreciated our special time together at this house on the bay.

The location on the dunes is fantastic yet the cottage isn’t too fancy. Perfect for family gatherings, beach walks and enjoying nature. The wifi is strong so you can continue to work remotely.

Nice getaway
What a nice beach cottage! Beautiful views of the bay. The beach was great and not crowded .The home is charming and was perfect for us. Having a washer and dryer is nice so you are not bringing home wet suits and clothes towels.

Great Location but needs updating
Paying for location. Home is dated. Needs new furnishings and updated appliances. The washing machine shakes the entire house and bangs so loud the children were scared of it. Barely any thing to prepare meals with. Everything was ancient. Not one sharp knife. Only one small television makes it hard to entertain little ones. This would be a nice rental for an older couple.

Quiet and Cozy
We spent a week with our daughter’s family at this Delaware Beach cottage. It’s a simple, clean and comfortable venue. The beach is the attraction when weather permits. The town of Lewes is close for interesting shopping, many restaurants, and kids activities like the pirate ship and the bounce house.
