Living is easy with outdoor shower, comfortable furniture indoors and out, and both upper and lower decks with gorgeous sunset views.

The house is raised on pilings with the main level one flight up, and features an open floor plan, soaring ceilings in great room and primary BR, and lots of windows and skylights for a bright and airy feeling. Central Air. Fully equipped, newly renovated kitchen with island. Large flat screen TV in living room and main bedroom. Cable, Wi-Fi, and Bose Bluetooth sound.

Step out onto the private rear deck from the kitchen/dining area and relax on comfortably cushioned furniture while sipping morning coffee or cool drinks at sunset. Remote-controlled awning for afternoon sunshade comfort. It's a perfect perch for bird-watching. Or relax on chaises or hammock on the deck below.

A large desk with a comfortable desk chair in the upper bedroom provides the setting. Adjacent tiled bathroom with walk-in shower and over-sized whirlpool tub.

A few steps from the primary bedroom is the new loft space with big windows looking out to gorgeous views of Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge. With a queen sleep sofa, this space is also referred to as Bedroom #4.

For a change of pace from Broadkill Beach's tranquility, try the free tour and tasting at Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton. Rehoboth Beach's boardwalk, shops, restaurants, nightlife, and acres of tax-free outlet shopping are a short drive away. Even closer are the historic and charming towns of Milton and Lewes with many restaurants, shops, and Farmers' Market.

It's a bit surprising that with the cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. only a couple of hours away, Broadkill Beach somehow remains uncrowded, unhurried, and something of a hidden treasure... Just right for a dreamy beach vacation.

We had an amazing time - the house offers commanding views of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, overflowing with wildlife. We watched osprey, heron, and hawks from the kitchen table. We swam with harmless moon jellyfish in the bay. We kayaked from the back dock into the wildlife refuge where we snuck up on birds and saw tiny crabs skittering over the low tide mudflats. Around the area, we also enjoyed the nature center at Cape Henlopen, a beach day with boardwalk in Rehoboth, and hiking in the Wildlife Refuge. An incredible experience for our whole family!

Had a terrific time at Broadkill Beach! House was great; clean and comfortable, well appointed, and plenty of space. Very secluded setting for the area. The dock out back was a great place to just sit and watch the wildlife. Having the kayacks was a huge bonus, we spent plenty of time exploring the marsh. The beach was just across the street and was clean and quiet, hardly anyone there. Had a nice time exploring Milton as well. Great trip, we couldn't be happier with or stay!

We really enjoyed our week at the house, and took full advantage of the beautiful natural surroundings. It was well equipped with supplies for exploring and my family managed to snag a couple of crabs. Beach access was convenient and check in and out went smoothly.

Our family vacation has been wonderful again! Our son was busy all day playing in the beach or fishing at the dock. I was busy crabbing all day~ Only 2 future wishes I have for this cozy beautiful place, are 1) bedroom/bathroom updates and 2) electrical outlets at the end of the dock. Mosquitoes and the painful flies are thick near the dock and would love to have a fan or bug zapper plugged out there. Otherwise, amazing in every way~
