It was accurately described. Very nice to be a short walk from the beach and to observe the shorebirds and crabs that inhabit the area.
4.8
Cleanist place we have ever rented. It was so quiet there. Loved the fact that there was a fenced in area for my dog. The beds were comfortable. Having a hose right by the door to wash the sand of our feet was a plus. Highly recommend this house. Owner always got back to me quickly with any questions I had.

We only had a short stay. The house was amazing, relaxing, clean and had lots of games and puzzles. And it was literally right on the beach! The fenced in yard was great for our dogs.
4.8
This is our 3rd time renting this beach front cottage. It is perfect for our family! We like that it is one story and has a fence for our dogs. We can go back and forth from the beach to the house in a few steps. The fishing was fun as was the 4th of July celebrations with the neighbors, the parade and ice cream social. We hope to be back again!

Staying here was a true wonderland if you love nature & want to escape.
The house is comfortable & unpretentious.
It was very clean and welcoming with so many thoughtful details.
Loved helping out w/ horseshoe crab protection.

My friend and I stayed here for a long weekend and loved it! The house is right on the bay so if you’re wanting to be by the water, look no further. We hope to return soon ☺️

This is the 4th house we've stayed at on Prime Hook Beach over the past few years, twice on the Marsh side and twice on the Bay side, and this is now our favorite!
The sunroom/living area, which is nestled into the dune while also providing a view of the beautiful Bay water, was ideal for reading, eating, listening to music (and watching tv, once the spectacular sun set).
The decor/furniture was just right for beach living, tasteful and not distracting from the natural beauty. Also welcoming for our collective pups, which was a real bonus.
The host was very responsive, and also flexible about check-in/check-out time, which was much appreciated (and more likely, as we were there off-season, I imagine).
We managed to pull off a Thanksgiving dinner prepared in the kitchen without too many hiccups (and thankfully only a turkey breast, not an entire turkey, as the oven was on the small size), so that says a lot about how well stocked the kitchen was.
Fair warning that you may not have use of a second bathroom in the winter months, but as you'd have to go outside to use it, perhaps it's just as well!
Note that the 3rd bedroom, while it has a full-sized bed, is probably best suited to one person - or two, if the 2nd person doesn't mind clamoring over the foot to get out, as it's right up against the wall.
Would highly recommend this lovely cottage and we do hope to be back!

The stay was great! The house is very accommodating with the kitchen being at the hub of the house. Beautiful views of the grasses out front just before the waters edge, and a prefect fenced in yard in back for the doggies. The house was clean and cozy, with the front room ideal for dining, playing board games, watching TV, or just relaxing. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!

Great place to stay, the house was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Communication was excellent with immediate responses to any questions we had. The little outdoor shed is great with washer/dryer, shower, beach chairs etc.
Overall a great experience, would recommend this property to anyone.

The property was exactly how it was represented in the listing. The back room with the windows provided a beautiful view. The beach is just a few steps away through the gate. It is a quiet area and the nature preserve is gorgeous. You can tell the owner really takes pride in being a good host. Would definitely stay again!
4.8
Not our first visit, certainly not our last! We love staying here.

The description of this house and its location can’t begin to describe how quaint and beautiful it is here. Perfect getaway for my family and 11 year old pup. Literally step outside and you are on the beach. The sunrises are breathtakingly gorgeous. Quiet and away from the crowds.
4.8
This house is perfect for our family of 5 and our tripawd dog! The house has everything you need. And we love that the beach is right there!
Our only issue (which has nothing to do with the owner and the house) were the black flys….they were brutal the whole week we were there!

This cottage is right on the beach with amazing views of the Delaware Bay and sunrise! Towels and sheets provided along with beach chairs. The beach is private and we spent a lot of time with our dog throwing ball on beach and in water. Our dog was living his best life ever!! Suzy is very responsive to answer questions. We enjoyed our peaceful stay!

We’ve rented this property several years now and it’s the perfect beach front property. Many upgrades in recent years. It has everything you could ask for, fenced yard, gate to the beach, beach chairs, grill, and washing machine! Just grab clothes and your grocery order and head to the beach!
4.8
Perfect beachfront cottage for our family of four in a very quiet, uncrowded area. Easy drive to nearby Milton for supplies and to Lewes and Rehoboth for dinners out. Great kayaking locales are all around, including the bay just steps from this home. Beautiful wildlife preserve in the area means great bird watching, but also means mosquitoes, so pack your bug spray!

Very nice; by the beach, the right size

Very comfy and clean. Had everything we needed. Great location to beach. Host was very nice and responded right away to any questions we had.

This place is a quintessential beach house with a touch of that cozy bygone vibe yet with all the current day necessities that make for an enjoyable stay. From the house there's great bay views, refreshing breezes, and the relaxing sound of waves crashing. We met a couple locals that were friendly and welcoming which is always a bonus. Overall, it was a great getaway and the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Loved our stay on this secluded beach. House was decorated very cute and inviting. We will be returning to this spot.

Our stay from 5/11 - 5/15 was incredible. The home was so cozy and relaxing. It was just perfect. The beach was simply beautiful. Our 2 dogs Nikki and Coco had a wonderful time playing in the water and chasing the waves. We walked along the shore for miles. My son and wife-to-be joined us for a sleep over. They loved it! They said we have to do this again. I was so sad when it was time to leave. When we got home, I talked about the trip for days. I can't wait for our next visit. A huge Thank you to Suzy our host. It was such a pleasure!
4.8
Very tasteful, serene, and impeccably clean beach house just steps from the water. Gorgeous light and views with abundant wildlife. Our Jack Russell terrier was in love with the place and it’s surroundings.
The cottage is well organized and equipped with everything you need, including a beautiful binder with helpful information about the surrounding area. We look forward to returning many times to this exceptional property

Lovely property with peaceful and relaxing beach. Close enough to town and all the shopping and restaurants but far enough away to feel kind of tucked away.
Only negative for me personally was no dishwasher.
Would recommend if looking to stay out of the busy beach areas.
4.8
Perfect location, perfect house, perfect weather & perfect week to unwind and explore such an awesome area. Suzy’s house is amazing & we will be back for future stays. Explored the Wildlife Refuge, spent time on the beach with our pups - who also enjoyed their stay. Everything was just perfect!! Thank you Suzy!

We went for the week of Thanksgiving. It was just perfect. The location was great. Loved being able to walk out to the beach. It was also close enough to go to restaurants and shops. The house and fenced in yard were great. I would definitely go back.
4.8
Loved being able to walk right out the door to the beach with a book and glass of wine. Our dog Happy had fun in the fenced in yard, making friends with the neighbors' dogs. Very comfortable beds and thick, soft towels. Great area for kayaking and biking. We also enjoyed hiking through the nature preserve. Fabulous sunrises and sunsets!

This cozy cottage is just what we needed. Hurricane Ian remnants rained on us for four days. The cottage gave us peace and quiet away from the buzz. We only had a couple days of sun afterwards, but it was spectacular. The house was spotless, the linens excellent and towels were fluffy, just waiting for us! The natural beach provided endless beach combing treasures. The kitchen is absolutely adorable and well equipped. Standing at the kitchen work table looking out at the dunes was nice. The kitchen is the hub of the house boasting the amazing original woodfloors accented nicely with area rugs. Bathroom is a tad small, but very workable. The mattresses in the larger rooms were very comfortable. We did not have guests in the room with two twins. The bedroom furniture is sturdy and well taken care of. The inside drawers looked new; top drawers were velvet lined. We thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay; even with the rain out. We will return 😁

We've stayed at a few properties in Prime Hook Beach and this is our favorite one when traveling with our dogs. The fenced yard can't be beat. The beach is just steps away and never too crowded. The house had everything we needed. The host answered all of our questions super fast.

The cottage was perfect for three adults and so dog friendly. The fenced in yard was perfect. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. We had a wonderful week.

If you're looking for a stay away from the packed beaches of Rehoboth or craziness of US-1, this is the property you have been looking for! Very clean and well kept inside, and just steps from the beach. Our stay included 4 adults and 3 dogs, which it probably the max this house can support. We enjoyed views of the bay while eating meals we were able to prepare in the cute and well equipped kitchen and outdoor drill. Take time to drive slowly and look for many birds (and turtles) in the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge on your drive to the property. Beach also boasted a plethora of shells and calm waves. Fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs! We did need to put in some time raking the beach to remove horseshoe crab bodies and algae, but that's to be expected with a natural beach. The bathroom inside the main house is a bit small, but we were able to make it work. The second bathroom is external to the main house in the bathhouse which also serves as storage (all one room, think shed) and is not airconditioned. Find whatever you need in the bathhouse -- rakes, clothing rack, beach chairs -- this house has everything you need for your stay, no need to overpack! This house is perfect for one or two people, but felt a little crowded with all 4 of us. Overall a great experience, and my husband and I hope to come back in the future!

This is a cute little cottage that has a lovely, mostly glass living/dining area right on the edge of a dune by the Delaware Bay. The area is part of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, so it's off the beaten path but close to Lewes, DE. We went right after Labor Day and had a very nice time. The cottage has 3 small bedrooms and a very small bathroom (plus another shower in a separate building that can be used to get beach sand off).

We loved our stay in prime hook beach, as always. This is our third summer vacationing at DE beaches. The home was quiet, cozy, well equipped for what our family needed, and we had beautiful weather. Suzy was very responsive throughout our entire stay. Highly recommend!

Beach Front on the 4th of July!
Great week at Prime Hook Beach. This is our 2nd stay at the cottage and it’s perfect with our adult children and dogs. We met our neighbors and had fun sharing the celebration with them. There was even a local parade and ice cream social. Hope to come back again!!

Great house, great beach!
We had a truly enjoyable week-long stay at the house. The house was spotless, linens were fresh and clean, and the kitchen was well stocked and equipped. Suzanne was quick to respond to questions and the beach was great - we had fun fishing and taking in the wildlife and appreciated how dog-friendly it is!

Beach getaway
A great, cozy place for quiet and seclusion directly on the water. The house was clean and had great views right on the ocean: you can watch the waves as you chop in the kitchen. If you want quiet, it's perfect. It's on a super slow, quiet road, with a small private beach. (If you want to be close to restaurants or bars, though, you might want to check elsewhere, though it was an easy 25 minute drive Lewes for take out). It was perfect for 2 of us and a dog, but might be tight for a larger crowd, even though there are enough beds to sleep 6. Gas grill was brand new and worked great, and communication was excellent. We got advice and responses almost immediately after messaging the owners.
