We loved our stay at the Bayside Retreat! Chris thought about every convenience you could have to make a comfortable stay. We loved the grill and having such a wonderful view from the back deck where we spent a lot of our time. My daughter and I really enjoyed the bay and all the wildlife at the refuge. We explored Milton and Lewes and had a great time!

First off, the property owners were very attentive and easy to communicate with. They kept in touch for the duration of the trip. We had a last minute surprise addition of a family member and it was no issue with the owners. Next, the property was in a charming little neighborhood which is very quiet and calm. No through traffic whatsoever. The views from the property were absolutely stunning and peaceful. The back porch is a perfect place to watch the birds and relax.
Next, the house itself was as described. There were lots of items available for use. There was plenty of room for our family. Lots of kids toys available that my kids loved playing with. The kids bunk beds were super comfortable. Views from the 2 back bedrooms were breathtaking.
Lastly, we had horrible luck the week we stayed here. Apparently if there is a certain breeze, the beach becomes swarmed with biting greenhead flies. These were so aggressive that we couldnt spend more than a few moments on the beach without being bitten over and over. Huge welts. This honestly made the trip pretty miserable since the main point was to go to the beach. We ended up booking a few nights further down the coast just to spend a few days on the beach and try to salvage the trip. I know this is iust the luck of nature so obviously theres nothing anyone could have done to avoid or prevent this.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here. We love it!! My son could wake up and head over to the beach and fish his heart out. I loved drinking my coffee on the back porch and a glass of wine in the evening. The sunsets are beautiful. The host is great and will respond quickly. We were close to be able to enjoy some waterslides, shopping, and great seafood. Will be going back!!

This home is so cozy and well stocked. I found things that I did not expect which is great if you forgot something.
The highlight is the deck and view of the refuge. Spectacular sunsets!
On day of departure, kids had a mishap and there was no time to make it right before leaving. Christine was so understanding. Thank you.
I hope to return next season!

My family and I had a great time visiting prime hook beach. The house was just right for us. Great views and location.
4.9
The house was even better than advertised. Perfect location with bay views and a beach across the street where my dog continued to live his best life. Short drive to stores, restaurants, and activities away from the beach but you could just bring all your supplies and stay at the house for the entire stay.
4.9
The location is perfect. You couldn’t ask for a more relaxed way to spend vacation: away from crowds and surrounded by nature. We really appreciate how well appointed the home is, beautifully furnished and stocked with everything you need. They even had fragrance free laundry detergent 😍 The cleanliness decreased since our last stay but perhaps a fluke with the cleaning crew. There are a few small maintenance items that need to be resolved, for example the toilet paper bar is not attached to the wall in the bathroom, and the floor thresholds from hallway to bedrooms are loose. Minor annoyances in a fantastic house. We will be back!!

The location of this home is everything. Water views in all directions, a quiet secluded street, neighbors but great bars and restaurants are just 15 minutes away. I fell in love with the little town of Milton. We celebrated my son’s 1st birthday with a long weekend and it was just perfect for him. Slide the sofa over on the deck to block the exit and you have a baby proof play area while you kick back and relax. The beach was a little messy when we were there and it was rainy so he didn’t get to play in the sand but we enjoyed long walks and seeing all of the wildlife.

Loved our stay at this pretty house. Location is perfect. Tranquil bay on one side and short walk to the beach on the other. Lewes and Rehoboth within 15 minutes. The house had all the amenities we needed . We slept well on the beds and the showers had wall units of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I'm already planning our next stay !

We had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the property very much. Everything was well stocked and clean. The sunsets over the marsh were gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your home!

The cottage was bright and comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, the view from the deck was beautiful. We were very happy there

My family has been going to the DE beaches every year for 6 years now. We have been to various beaches and stayed in very nice VRBO properties. But everyone agrees that this is by far the best experience we have had! I would highly recommend this property to everyone, including families with young children or a romantic retreat for a couple.

We happened to stay at the beach house during a wind and flood advisory, and we still loved it. We can't wait to go back. It was a beautiful and peaceful off-season retreat.
The beaches and wildlife sanctuary make this a particular spot for wildlife lovers, but beautiful restaurants are just a drive away.
I appreciate that the owners have bikes and kayaks available and that our fur babies were welcome!
This is a GEM!!

My family, my fur baby and I had a wonderful and relaxing trip. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with access to a private beach. The beach was lovely and did not disappoint in any way. The views from the back deck were a sight to behold. The home had everything we needed, and the owner, Christine, was very responsive and helpful. The home was just as described and highly recommended.

We had such a nice time at Chris and Nick’s bayside retreat! The home was so clean and welcoming. The minute we walked in we felt instantly rejuvenated. Being on the nature preserve and right across the street from the bay made it such a perfect and peaceful spot. The kids loved morning walks on the beach, and bird watching from the back. We hope to go back!

Chris & Nick’s home was exactly what we needed…a break from the hustle & bustle of every day life. Myself, my husband, 2 children & our fur baby stayed here for a long Thanksgiving weekend. It was quiet & peaceful. The home had everything we could’ve needed, plus more! My toddler loved all of the fun toys she discovered in the bunk bed room! There were loads of board games & puzzles too! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed also. We enjoyed the very short walk to the beach, where we went for daily walks, did seashell hunting, flipped a bunch of horseshoe crabs (there were TONS of them) and my son enjoyed fishing & discovering the wildlife. It was chilly while we were there, but that didn’t stop us. We bundled up and had the best family time. It was a wonderful weekend, we would absolutely love to stay here again.

We have stayed here several times over the years. We were blessed with great, unusually warm weather this visit and enjoyed many a beautiful sunrise over the ocean and sunsets over the bay. Our dog was so happy to be included in our vacation. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

Very relaxing stay. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. Very friendly neighbors.

Nicely located on a quiet and picturesque strip of land between the bay and a creek (that looked more like a lake).
Cottage was very clean, very comfortable and had eveything we needed.
Plenty of indoor seating as well as a nice outdoor couch for sunset viewing. Kitchen well appointed.
Lots of information supplied by hosts.
We thank Chris and Nick for sharing their place with us.

We had a great anniversary getaway to this quiet and peaceful Beachhouse. We absolutely loved our stay, and will definitely be back next year! House was clean, and a bonus was being able to bring the dog! We were able to cook a few meals and had adequate dishware and cooking utensils, pots, and pans for our needs. The sunsets at Primehook beach are amazing and we had some really nice dinners in Lewes.

Absolutely everything was perfect! Super cozy beach house in the perfect location only steps away from the beach. We enjoyed sunrises on the beach, sunsets and birdwatching on the deck, and everything in between. We loved that the house was stocked with everything you could possible need and we especially appreciated that it was dog friendly!

Amazing property located in a quiet area with amazing views of the sunrise and sunset! Perfect house, well maintained and absolutely beautiful! Very well stocked, very clean, and the host thought of everything you need for an enjoyable stay! We had such a great time!! This is definitely a great location with beautiful decor and just a lovely place to stay! The host is amazing! The only downfall is having to leave! Highly recommend!!

We had a lovely vacation! The hosts were welcoming and hospitable. They provided lots of extras . They had great communication and provided quick replies to all of our questions.
We appreciated being able to bring our son and daughter- in -laws one year old Pug puppy along. We found the beach and many area restaurants welcomed dogs too.
As expected in a marshy area, there were some mosquitoes and other bugs, but this wasn’t a deterrent to our vacation fun. All in all this is a beautiful home and a lovely seaside vacation location.
4.9
I needed to find a well priced house close to the water so we could bring our 14 year old dog to chase balls in the bay one last time. We couldn’t have asked for a more convenient place than this house. The views from the back deck were spectacular and there was always a breeze. The dang flies were a bother but spray kept them away. We basically had the beach to ourselves - def glad we had a rake to clear a spot for ourselves. We loved the natural beach, but there is some weird bay dredge that washes up! We’re so glad we got to go, and Christine was so sweet and easy to reach.
4.9
I was shocked how these owners really thought of everything. With taking two young children, they had plates, bowls, baby wash & anything I could’ve possibly needed. Bring binoculars for the back deck!! Absolutely stunning & the sunsets are perfection. There were so many toys for my children it helped so much on the rainy day. The host was so easy to interact with and checked in on us. We’ll definitely be back.
4.9
Chris and Nick’s home is so sweet! The perfect size and location for a family with young kids. We appreciated the well supplied kitchen (all the tools you need for cooking at home), the proximity to the beach and the gorgeous view from the back deck. We had a wonderful stay and hope to book again soon!

Everything was clean and had a nice view of bay and wildlife sanctuary. There are definitely a lot of horseshoe crabs!!! Well stocked too and not a lot of cleanup

We had a great time in Prime Hook Beach. It's peaceful, relaxing, dog friendly and the host was active with messaging and responding to our messages in a timely manner. Such a beautiful home with great views. Super close access to the beach. Collected some amazing seashells with my daughter. Lots of beautiful birds to see. We even took a trip to Assateague island national seashore on a rainy day. Would recommend and we definitely hope to rent again!

This was our second stay at this Prime Hook getaway. And, we've already booked for next year. Its a peaceful retreat with a gorgeous view. Not far from Cape Henlopen State Park and Lewes Beach and Ferry. Loved walking through the town of Milton and Lewes. Very clean house with all the comforts of home. My kids enjoyed riding the bikes to the little bridge where locals were crabbing. And, my pups loved going for strolls through the neighborhood.
4.9
Perfect secluded and quiet location for our beach trip. Sunset on the back deck over the water was very enjoyable each night. The house was very accommodating and clean. Short walk to the beach. Unfortunately a storm had come in a day prior so there was alot washed up on the beach and bugs. Property was perfect though!
4.9
The time my wife and I spent was well needed. We always go to Ocean City, MD and end up in a hotel. We wanted a change of pace and rented a home on or near the beach. Very easy to get to. We experienced a very quite area. It's very cozy and gives a good feel of relaxation. Cozy seating area to snuggle up and watch some movies. Not too far from shopping and dining was a plus.
You can't control the weather. Cold, Rain & Wind. Because of the weather we never got to see the beach. The wind was a struggle. Spending time trying to keep the cover on the patio furniture kept me from trying to relax. The grill which we never got to use had to be moved back to it's regular location twice because the wind was so strong it blew it across the patio. Doing work around the house is what I was trying to get away from.
No curtains on the front windows made privacy a factor. Very visible to see through the windows at night. I was uncomfortable to see people across the street leaning on their railing staring in our direction being able to see straight through the house to the kitchen.
On a final note we would definitely visit this location again as long as curtains on the front windows are installed. We would try again more into the summer season. Hopefully the winds aren't as bad as they are in the spring.

Exactly the unplugged vacation we needed. House was clean, well furnished, well stocked with basic supplies, and in an absolutely beautiful location just across the street from a private beach. Ocean was visible from the living room with great views of sunsets over the saltwater marsh behind the home. Relatively short drives to local hot spots and downtown areas.
