About this house rental
We'd love to welcome you to our beach house with beautiful views of the Delaware Bay. The house comfortably sleeps 8 people and is just steps away from a private family-oriented beach. You'll sleep comfortably thanks to the help of our new central AC system.
At the private beach, you can bring along some cocktails, some music and even build bonfires at night. Wade in the water at the sand bars right in front of the house or read a book in the shade of an umbrella. Enjoy the sea breeze and the lull of the ocean waves with none of the mosquitoes in the screened-in porch or gaze at the stars on the upper observation deck.
While on vacation, still experience all the comforts of home with two 42-inch flat screen TVs with cable services, wireless high-speed Internet service that carries even to the beach! Dine out or enjoy a night in with everything you need to cook a family meal in the full kitchen and propane grill on the deck. You're able to pack light as we have a washer and dryer available in the house for your convenience.
We also have a sun umbrella, beach chairs, sand shovels and buckets, boogie boards, noodles and more in the shed. Bringing multiple cars? No problem. We have off Road parking for 5 to 6 cars.
Free WIFI and a powerful router means you can stream live music while relaxing on the beach!

Place was good. Location and amenities were awesome however the beds were uncomfortable. The fan in master bedroom makes a weird sound when it’s on low and medium.
There were cobwebs on dining room, kitchen lights. Cobwebs in room corners towards the ceilings with spiders.
All in all it’s a nice place just needs a little TLC.

Great staff, beautiful views

The house was just as it was pictured and equipped with all the necessities. It was extremely helpful having beach chairs, umbrellas etc already provided. It is a very quiet, friendly neighborhood. Most days we were the only ones on the beach, definitely the place to go for down time and relaxation. Our family had a great time!

Great beach front home! The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes etc.

Very comfortable and just what we wanted

The house was as described in listing. It was clean. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. The screened porch is great. The location is quiet and private. One day we went to Lewes, which is such a cute town. Another afternoon we went to Cape Henlopen State Park, and that is very nice also. Overall, we had a wonderful time and we may stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay! The location was beautiful, the house was very nice, clean and the layout of the house worked very well for our family of seven. We all appreciated the well supplied necessities and communication with the host was excellent. We would encourage an upgrade on the downstairs bedroom mattress or to use it for a single person (or for couples who like to sleep snuggled together) and some direction on use of the hurricane door for “newbies.” Would we stay here again? Absolutely!

The house has plenty of room for a family of six and you cannot beat the location.

Our stay was perfect! This house is a great option for those looking for a more private beach experience. The house was a good size for 4 adults and 3 kids and a dog. Hope to get back next year!

Our family had a great time and Jim was a great host.

House is just as listed. Nice and private. We loved our stay

The beachfront house could not have been better! Easy, private access. House was much nicer than expected. House was clean and well-stocked with all the utensils, pans, etc. that you could want. Loved both the screened-in porch and the second-story porch above it. The beds and furnishings were terrific.
As for the bay, the water was warm with virtually no waves. Beach and wading areas were almost all sand without the usual large broken shells that are typical of most beaches.
This is an excellent vacation place!!

We had a great time at Jim’s place! The house is the perfect size for four adults and four kids. There was plenty of beach stuff which was much appreciated and the screened porch and outdoor shower were fantastic! Nice quiet beach but the fireworks shows were spectacular! Would definitely recommend!

Better than expected! The private beach was just steps away, and the house was comfortable and clean with all of the amenities you could need. Will be booking for next summer!

We loved this property. Beautiful sunrise views and being so close to the beach was wonderful. It was quiet and we had friendly neighbors. Love the screened in porch. Hope to come back!

Perfect location - well equipped home. Parking area could have been a little better organized, but other wise five stars.

This property was perfect for our family. We even had extra room. The screened-in porch was awesome, and the view from the top deck was amazing. Communication with the owner was easy, and he answered all my questions. NOTE: This property does not have sheets or towels. They are rentable from a local company, but we brought our own. I liked that the price of the VRBO was less expensive than others since the owner does not have to pay for the laundry service. We had extras, so it was a no-brainer.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Jim’s shore side home. The home was very clean when we checked in and we couldn’t have asked for a better host, and everything was there for our beach experience. The beach area is private and not crowded, away from beachgoers. The home is comfortable and very spacious, and the views are fantastic. I will be booking this place again.

Beautiful home with everything you need for a fantastic vacation. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future!

The location - right on the beach! - couldn't be better. Also, the screened porch that looked out on the beach allowed us to spend our whole time "on the beach," either literally on the beach (beautiful sunrises!) or eating, reading, relaxing in the screened porch. House is very roomy, very well stocked, and very comfortable. We liked this place so much, and the great communication with the owner, that we've already looked at dates to stay here again!

Lovely home and location.

Our stay at Jim’s house was very enjoyable! Jim was an excellent host and very responsive to all my questions. This home is well cared for and extremely comfortable. It was the perfect spot to enjoy beautiful sunrises and the proximity to the water cannot be beat! We would love to come back soon. Thank you for everything, Jim!

We truly enjoyed our spring break here. The house was perfect for our family of 5 and couldn’t ask for a better location. Look forward to visiting again!

The house was well set up for our group of 5 adults and senior pup. There was ample seating in the living room. Aside from perishables, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. It was a little bit of a pain to have to bring our own sheets and towels, but we managed. I appreciated that there was no additional cleaning fee and would rather have the option to bring my own than have to pay for them to be rented. My only small complaint was that the master bedroom bed was extremely firm. I suggest bringing a mattress topper if you have one. Other than that, go and enjoy! We really loved seeing the Canadian geese on the water. There were so many it looked like whitecaps!

We took our dog here for a quiet weekend. Everything was as described. House was clean, neighborhood is very quiet, and the beach is nice and private.

Had a wonderful time at Jim’s house! It’s right on the shore with incredible views from both floors, you can’t beat waking up to the sunset over the water from your bedroom window. The place is very spacious and had everything we needed. Jim was also very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

My family had a wonderful stay here. We love nature and so were delighted with this location on a natural beach with lots of sea life on the sand to examine with each tide, and the beautiful Prime Hook NWR behind us and separated by only one row of houses. We were able to communicate with Jim easily. We used 3 beds and all found them very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. We would stay again.

We have been going to the Delaware beaches for quite a few years in the Fall and have loved doing it every time. This time was no exception. The house was clean, well-stocked and had a beautiful view of the bay.

Very positive. Great place for a family vacation.

Great and we will come back

What a wonderful house, better than the pictures portray. It’s the 2nd time we’ve stayed here, would still do it again.
We had a minor issue,I texted Jim he responded with minutes.
If you are looking for quiet and peaceful this is the place. The neighbors are very friendly unlike some other places we’ve stayed. Highly recommend!

We had excellent weather with a breeze off the water the entire week. Enjoyed the accommodations, the proximity to the beach and the view of the bay. Our dog really enjoyed running on the beach. Would definitely go again.

We loved the house and it’s proximity to the beach. The screened porch was great for evening dinners and hanging out. Highly recommend for families with young children. The beach has almost no waves and the sand bar is great for hanging out on a little island.

This bayfront home is absolutely perfect for families looking for a quiet getaway or vacation right on the Delaware Bay.
4.8
Overall we had a nice stay. House was big enough to accommodate 2 parents and 4 adult children. Beach is very quiet, perhaps a bit too quiet for me but it was relaxing. It is on the Delaware Bay so it is not a beach with breaking waves like Rehoboth or Bethany Beach. A few minor issues when we arrived but no big deal. Neighborhoood is friendly.

The stay at Prime Hook was what I wanted. It was quiet and relaxing. I enjoyed the birds and wildlife, which was unexpected. The house was very comfortable and clean. The owner was very attentive.

Jim is pleasant and was very responsive when we reached out closer to our stay for some check in instructions. We left early and notified him of a few minor defects with the property such as the deck screen having some open gaps, grill full of live nesting birds and some loose bathroom fixtures. His instructions stated to make sure that the hurricane shutter is closed every day for the rain and because this was in all caps (with exclamation points) we made sure not to to open it at all and we informed him. A week after we left he messaged us implying that we left it open. This wasn’t an issue for us as we have documented communication the day we left that we never opened it and we outlined this in our response.
Furthermore the beach is not very swim friendly, May be the time of the year. Neighbors told us that it was horse shoe cran mating season which explains why the beac was littered with them. This brought on large, biting flies and there was a dense amount of brown algae.
Nonetheless we had a good family weekend and the house was homey.

Prime Hook Beach is calm, peaceful, and restful. Our timing for the weather was not the best, but we lived on the screened in deck and enjoyed the sunshine and the sights and sounds of the water. The house has everything anyone could ask for. It was comfortable and roomy. The appliances were great and cooking fresh produce we found was so easy. We went to Rehoboth for an hour and was so grateful for our seaside place. Jim is the best. He was very accommodating to our wishes and got us a regular coffee pot. He was very kind and responsive. He is committed to his guests to have a good time. Thank you!!!! Susy and Pati
