Wow...relatively empty beach across the street, great for all ages (in our case 10-74)...nature preserve behind with lots of birds & beautiful sunsets. Home is not only tastefully done, but also has everything you could possibly want ... from the kitchen to the beach equipment

The property is near the water and looked as pictured. However they had issues with both the refrigerators and the day before they called to say there was no refrigerator and we needed to spend the first Saturday (7am to until around noon) for delivery. no mention on their part about being able to cancel. after the fridge arrived, then we needed to set the refrigerator up and do our grocery shopping using up most of the day. they had no on site manager. We had overseas family, so changing plans at the last minute was not possible. Saturday was a wonderful weather day, but as it happened, a storm arrived the next day and so our best weather day was used waiting for and setting up the refrigerator.
IF you have no on site issues, you will probably enjoy this rental. but if there are issues, it can be very frustrating. When I mentioned that coworkers who rented out time shares said they would have offered to reimburse us for a day, owners at first did not respond, until after they were contacted several times by phone and email by the Vbro customer service. finally the only response was to tell me how much the refrigerator cost and they made no effort to make any offer to compensate for our inconvenience.

This home is a great place for a large family vacation. It is very private and has plenty of room. The location is very secure and provides a safe place for children to play. The kitchen is well stocked and there are lots of beach toys. The bikes are a plus as well! Elevator makes for moving in and out very easy. The outside hoses are very convenient. The hosts are very responsive and keep the house very nice.

We enjoyed the location, layout and amenities of the house (elevator, beach cart, chairs, umbrellas, bikes, foosball, well-stocked kitchen, screened porch) it's proximity to the beach, and the dog-friendliness of the community. For anyone looking to vacation with a larger group and dog(s), we highly recommend Blue Reeds. Bring your bug spray!

Plenty of space for 8 adults and a baby. Excellent common spaces for us to gather and visit but then we could retire to our private bedrooms. Loved the bird watching. Ospreys were an endless source of fascination.

Very nice home that accommodated 7 of us. The wildlife view from the back deck was beautiful. Dozens of Egrets and other Heron would arrive in the morning and evening to feed in the marshes. If you venture out to eat I recommend Striper Bites in Lewes. The Ahi Tuna steak and shrimp tempura roll were excellent.

Beautiful area. Very quiet. Great Birding area. The house was amazing. Kitchen well stocked with everything we needed to make meals during our stay. Nice bedrooms. Lots of seating both for eating and gathering to chat or play a game. Lots of items in the garage for going across the street to the beach. Would definitely stay again.

This is our second family visit in five years to Blue Reeds. We enjoyed the back screen porch and great room for morning and evening gatherings. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Very peaceful and relaxing home overlooking a beautiful tranquil marsh.

Perfect Stay
The home was nicely furnished and very clean. We enjoyed the kayaks and the proximity to the beach, but the star of the show was the view from the screened in porch. Great host, excellent communication. Thank you!

Wonderful experience
We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful house! The view of the marsh was beautiful and on the back screened-in porch it felt totally secluded, peaceful and private. It was a quick, easy walk across the road to the beach, where we were practically the only ones there. There was one day when the biting flies were quite a nuisance - a local walking by said that it is worse when the winds are blowing from the marsh - but all our other days, it was not a big issue. Thanks for a terrific vacation!

Peaceful Getaway
The property was lovely. The home was spacious and had everything you might need for a beach getaway. It was very quiet and very few people or traffic. The view of the marsh was amazing. A beautiful spot to listen to the birds.

Perfect Family Getaway
We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property as part of a family vacation. My husband and I plus our four sons (ages 11-18), my mother-in-law and father-in-law, and 2 of my husband's siblings stayed for an extended weekend.
We hadn't had a chance to take a vacation over the summer. And despite it being off season we still found plenty to do and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this lovely community.
The house itself was even more stunning than the pictures...if that's possible. It's obvious that they take great care and pride in this home. There was plenty of room for us all to spread out. And, I LOVE that there were plenty of couches and comfy seating in the living room. PLUS there was more comfy seating in the screened in porch. We've stayed at properties before where comfy seating was very limited for a large group. So this was a great feature!
Since my mother-in-law has some mobility issues we made arrangements to use the elevator in the home. And this was also so greatly appreciated and made her stay much easier.
Some highlights from our stay that you won't want to miss is sunrise on the beach and sunset over the marsh/preserve... absolutely breathtaking.
We highly recommend this home.

Lovely, spacious home with a very well-equipped kitchen which was very important to us. Beautiful great room, and ample dining space. Great outdoor space, including a screened porch, and many water toys and beach equipment. This home really worked for our vacation..

Beautiful Home and almost Private Beach
Carolyn's home was absolutely gorgeous! It really did have everything we needed and then some. We had 4 adults, a 10mo, almost 3yo, 4yo, and 6yo with us. The 4 and 6 yo's LOVED the "jungle" room and sleeping in a bunk bed for the first time. We loved how quiet and uncrowded the beach was and appreciated the quick walk across the street. The only "downside" (and it's in quotes because it's only an issue with littles) was the amount of knickknacks for tiny hands to get to. We would definitely stay again though once the kids are older.

Great location, beautiful views of the wildlife preserve.
Fantastic place for a family week at the beach. The house is extremely comfortable and well laid out. And the best equipped kitchen we've ever seen.

Blue Reeds home
First time renting a home for vacation and first time VRBO, we are all healthcare workers and with Covid we were hesitant about staying in a hotel or going to a busy beach. Caroline and Harvey are the ultimate hosts, Caroline answered all my questions thoroughly and calmed my fears of traveling to Broadkill beach. Blue Reeds did not disappoint, beautiful home and outdoor space with the back of the house surrounded by views of the the Prime Hook preserve and front of house surrounded by vegetation providing privacy. The beach is a short walk from the house easy enough to go back and forth. The bonus was we were able to bring our two dogs which made our family enjoy the vacation even more, we just got back and already looking for to our next visit. The beach had few people on it so we felt as if we had our own private beach.
The only negative was the biting flies which we packed bug spray and citronella candles which helped and didn’t deter us from going to the beach.

Quiet beach house
We had a relaxing week in Broadkill Beach. Loved the fenced, private lot set back from the road. An easy walk to the beach and great to be able to take the dogs. The bikes, kayaks, and baby pools were great to have available. The flies were quite bad this week so we spent a couple of days just sitting in the sand at the back of the house with our feet in the little pool. All of the hoses were convenient for post beach and workout rinses. Lots of room inside the house and beautiful finishes throughout. Our children loved the second floor sun deck. We made all of our meals at home so we never had to fight traffic going into Lewes or Rehoboth. Strong wifi for work and school needs. The wildlife refuge and the abundance of horseshoe crabs gave us an opportunity to learn more about the Delaware Bay.

Fabulous Family Getaway
We had a fabulous time at Blue Reeds! Carolyn and Harvey were so easy to communicate with, the house was perfect (loved the fenced in yard and supplied crates for the pups), the sunsets over the preserve we’re gorgeous, and you cannot beat the walk across the street to the beach. We had a relaxing and amazing stay! Even with five kiddos under 8!!!

Wonderful spring break for ages 8 to 91!
This is my family's second stay at this gorgeous property and it was just as beautiful as we remembered. Even on some cold and windy days the views from the great room allowed us to experience nature and beauty from inside. Our group included one 91 year old and one 8 year old, and a great time was had by all. The quiet beautiful beach is just across the street. A garage full of toys was a great treat, even if we didn't get to use them all. Hopefully we'll be back again soon! The owner is very friendly and accommodating and made sure we had access to the elevator. You won't regret a stay here!

Short getaway at tranquil Broadkill beach
Overall very clean with a beautiful view of Prime Hook marsh. Quiet, tranquil area. Nice to get away with family from suburban life. The kitchen and family room area was very nice with plenty of windows for great viewing outdoors.

Peaceful Location
Overall our stay was excellent. The location was very peaceful and was only a short walk to the beach. The house was fully equipped with all the bikes/ beach chairs / sand castle making tools we never knew we wanted in a rental. The great room was perfect for hanging with family although we spent most of our time on the screened in porch. The only reason for the 4 star review instead of 5 was the beds. The rooms on the main floor with full beds are large enough to accommodate queen sized beds which would have made our stay more comfortable. In addition to the needlessly small beds, the beds themselves were creaky and uncomfortable (very firm). Overall though would highly recommend this relaxing getaway spot.

a delightful fall getaway!
Beautiful views and close beach location was a real plus and we loved this wonderful family-friendly home. My grandchildren delighted in moving between the peaceful beach and fishing at the nearby wildlife refuge.

Delightful and Delicious Taste of Sanity
My friends and I carefully planned a COVID free getaway to my favorite beach in Delaware. I’ve been to this beach alone each year for 6 years leading up to this. So I’ve never ventured out beyond a small house there. But with COVID and cancelled overseas vacations for my friends, this year, ironically, I was with a crew.
The owners- The Greenlands- were incredible hosts to me and my bunch. The house is spectacular, the setting is otherworldly and transports you to a place where you’re reminded of your place in the universe. Their home is spacious, welcoming and filled with all the things you’ll need for a great getaway. They even had cut wood for us to wheel out to the beach at night for our campfires- an experience not to be missed.

Great escape from the city!
We had a great week away from the city. It was nice and secluded with only 1 other family within a half mile from us on the beach, which was exactly what we were hoping for. We greatly enjoyed the screened-in porch to relax and enjoy the nice breeze while watching the sunset. There is a nice Weber grill as well.

Perfect for a multi generational gathering!
We had a wonderful time at Blue Reeds. The views are incredible. The beach access is convenient. The owners communicated clearly and were very responsive. The beach toys, bikes, and kayaks were a wonderful perk. We were so thankful to have this time together as a family during the pandemic. My only note would be that the recycling is picked up every other week and we and the previous week's guests generated more than the bin could hold.

A beautiful place!!!
House in beautiful marsh setting, yet no bugs. Huge comfortable house, with good kitchen and baths. Can't think of anything wrong with the house, except that they needed all queen sized beds, as double just too small for two people. We hope to go back next year.
