House is very nice, great setup. I loved that there are gates on the deck to keep my dogs and toddler safe. We were able to relax and enjoy the water on the quiet beach. Walk to the beach was a just a little more than expected, and there bugs/mosquitos that can become problematic. That being said, we still had a great week!!

Our weather held out through Tuesday. Then the remnants of a hurricane came through. The rest of the week was cloudy and rainy. Movie watching and the Olympics prevailed two days. Thank you for having great cable and streaming availability. Going to the movies and shopping in Rehobeth was the other. Most of the days we were plagued by flies and other bugs. The wind was blowing across the Nature Preserve out to sea. We used a lot of bug spray. The screened in room/porch was awesome. The kids used that a lot. The kitchen was filled with usable utensils, pots, pans, dishes, and appliances. We did not take advantage of the open deck seating area above the screened porch. It was too windy. The bedrooms were great. My kids loved being upstairs, away from us, which worked to our advantage. My husband and I used the room in the back with the 1/2 bathroom. I have a lot of inside allergies and was not comfortable going upstairs because of the carpet. My husband went upstairs when necessary. The table in the kitchen corner was used to play cards along with eating meals. We used the outside grill to cook several lunches and dinners. It worked great. Overall, we had a nice vacation. Everything about the house helped with that. The beach was wide open when we were there. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative. Maybe next year will be better. I'd like to stay here again.

Very comfortable home with just about everything you'd need for the beach. We were advised to bring blankets but didn't need, blankets are provided, as are decent pillows. There's also a good selection of family games. AC in the living room is a bit noisy and flies we're annoying but other than that, it was a lovely week! Would definitely rent again.

We have been staying at Broadbill for 9 years and wanted to stay right on the beach this year. The location is perfect ...it's Broadkill. The house wasn't what we expected. We knew it wouldn't be brand new, but it needs some attention. For the price we paid we would.of thought it would of been cleaner and things would work properly. The communication was amazing and ready to help. The house itself needs so much needed repairs.The beach is amazing and not far from the house.

Property is actually awesome... except it is infested with bugs. Not bed bugs. No roaches. From Googling, they look like silverfish. Bed literally crawling with them after. Worse upstairs. We called the manager. The guy came and tried to treat it himself. He seen the bugs and we saved some in a bag for him also. Didn't help. We only had use of the first floor due to the infestation severity. We paid A LOT of money for this place. First time we ever splurged our savings on a beach house expensive vacation. Pretty disappointing. Thought we should've had a 50% AT LEAST refund honestly, if not even a complete refund. Very disheartening. To us, that was a lot of money, especially to not even be able to use the property.
