About this house rental

A scenic, secluded getaway or place to work remotely for a change of scenery awaits you at Broadkill Beach. One of Delaware’s best kept secrets — “A Shore Thing” is head and shoulders above all other beach home rentals when it comes to a quiet, relaxing, low-key, beach vacation surrounded by nature's beauty. It's the perfect place to reunite with family, friends and nature.

Imagine waking each morning and enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee or practicing yoga while overlooking stunning views of the Primehook National Wildlife Refuge. Later, stroll down the home’s quiet beach road and over the dunes to bask in the natural beauty of Broadkill Beach. The low-key atmosphere is perfect for families with small children, those who enjoy vacationing with their pets, nature lovers, or those who just prefer quiet over crowds.

Read, relax, sunbath, swim, turn over stranded horseshoe crabs or take a walk south to Beach Plum Island State Park. Build sand castles or enjoy some surf fishing. Chill and listen to the sound of ocean waves from the homes numerous decks. In the evening, the home's large wrap-around deck and two screened porches provide views of beautiful sunsets and multiple places to enjoy dinner and cocktails with friends and family.

Many first time visitors compare Broadkill Beach’s remote feel to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but much smaller and with easier access to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia. When you vacation at “A Shore Thing” you can relish in sea-clusion, but still enjoy fine dining and nightlife only a short drive away in neighboring beach towns like Lewes and Rehoboth. If you like microbreweries there are many local favorites to be found or you can even take a ferry ride from Lewes to Cape May for the day. Walk the trails of Cape Henlopen from the woods to the beach to view Cape Henlopen Light. Give the kids a break from the beach and spend a fun day at a water park or schedule a group kayak tour.

Golfers will enjoy an outing at the championship Rookery Course located only minutes away from Broadkill Beach. It features four sets of tees for golfers of all ages and a grass driving range. While golfers golf, shoppers can shop tax free until they drop at the Tanger Outlets. And, don’t forget to take a short walk, bike ride or drive to the Broadkill General Store for handmade donuts, breakfast sandwiches, pizza, sandwiches, ice cream, souvenirs or other essentials.

The home is located on a dead end road which backs to the Prime Hook National Nature Refuge. It is only 7 houses (3 minute walk) to the beach on a sand packed road. The home offers an open concept with lots of living space for everyone to spread out or come together. Here you will find a large den, family and dining room with breakfast bar and tables, along with a fully-equipped kitchen.

This was our family’s second year in a row renting this property. Patti leaves us with such a warm welcome upon arrival. Very thorough, thoughtful, and responsive. We have everything we need when we’re there because of her setup and hospitality. Home is very comfortable and we enjoy all amenities provided. Will be back again next year! 🙂

See my prior reviews for more details. This was our 4th time staying at Patti and Rick’s beach house. Everything was great then, and everything was great again this year! Thanks, Patti and Rick!

The family loves this place, secluded, private. Beautiful home that Patti and Rick own. We love the game room. Secured deck for the dogs to join us. We found this place a few years ago and already have next year booked.

We were here a few years ago and had talked about it since. We decided to go back this year and it didn’t disappoint. The house is the perfect size and in a great location. We already booked again for next year.

This was our 3rd stay and every year we are greeted by the same clean, well-maintained home! The fenced in yard and deck is great for keeping our dog contained. The basement game room is great for entertainment on rainy days. The screen porch facing the marsh is our favorite spot. Very clean, well appointed-highly recommend!

My family enjoyed their stay at this home. The furnishings were comfortable, the home was clean, and the location was private but close to the beach.

The house itself is so pleasant and comfortable it’s even better than the photos. Spacious, with lots of rooms for groups and private nooks for reading, great views and tons of natural light. Game/exercise room, beach supplies and other little things provided by the host were a delightful surprise. Short walk to a beautiful quiet beach; short drive to charming town of Lewes. I’d give it six stars if I could.

This was our second stay and it was every bit as wonderful as our first. This is a very well-appointed beach property with anything and everything you would need for a great stay. The location is superb as it’s a very short walk to the beach but tucked back for quiet and less windy time outside. The hosts are very attentive and do a fabulous job of welcoming their guests. We highly recommend this property!!!!
