About this house rental
Welcome! This lovely home is one of the only houses on Broadkill Beach that boasts unobstructed views and private access to both the Delaware Bay and the breathtaking Primehook National Wildlife Refuge.
Come and rest or play at your leisure...celebrate life, family and friends. Enjoy quiet walks on the beach or pour yourself into a good book on our screened in porch overlooking the reserve....escape the stresses of the daily grind while sipping your morning joe or evening cocktail on one of our two bay-facing decks...cook your favorite meals in our fully equipped kitchen, but don’t forget to stop and take in the breathtaking sunsets. Fish off your private dock, or enjoy a friendly game of shuffle board or ping pong. Animals are welcome, so don’t forget to spoil your fur-baby at this relaxing home away from home.
Broadkill Beach is incredibly family friendly and offers an array of fun activities from fishing, golfing, and biking to water sports. If decadent restaurants, quaint little shops or laid back breweries are your interest, you’re certain to enjoy the nearby towns of Milton, Lewes, Rehoboth, and Dewey Beach.
After whatever your day brings, retreat to our beachfront bungalow, put your feet up, and doze off to the soothing sounds of the water and nature surrounding you. We have a cozy pull-out sofa bed and three inviting bedrooms (one king, one queen, and two sets of twin-over-full bunk beds), including a master suite equipped with a gas burning fireplace to cuddle near on those chilly nights.
There are two full baths, or if you prefer the great outdoors take advantage of our outdoor shower, especially pleasant to wash off the salt and sand of the day.
While we try to provide all the comforts of home that we can, guests are required to bring their own linens, towels, soap and paper products.
Thank you for considering our rental and please email with any questions!:)

This was the perfect stay for our annual Broadkill vacation. Renee has it decorated so beautifully that it compliments the nature all around. Multiple decks and porches allow for the perfect reading, coffee, or cocktail spot. The views from either side of the house are breathtaking. The garage was stocked with everything you would need for the beach. The open floor plan kitchen/living room is set up for those that like to cook on vacation but don’t want to miss out! We’ve been coming to Broadkill for 20 years and the whole family says this was the best!

If you’re looking for a place to relax, recharge, and breathe, this is it. The house was very clean and had so much to offer. Beds were comfortable. The screened porch was amazing for listening to the birds while enjoying the breeze. The upstairs front deck was my favorite for morning coffee and listening to the ocean waves. From the back deck, we watched eagles bring fish from the ocean to their platform every day, and one day, we even saw a heron catch a snake for breakfast! The top floor is all open, so it was perfect for our family to hang out while cooking, watching tv, etc. Flies can be an issue because of the marsh, but we found a website called The Damn Fly Meter to be super helpful! It tells you, on a scale of 1-10, how bad the flies are that day/hour. We used it to decide whether we wanted to walk across the road to the beach, or stay in and make frozen margaritas and have some shuffleboard battles. The house had everything we needed…we decided to bake cookies mid-week, and all the tools we needed were right there. Renee was super responsive and kind. Honestly, this was such a nice, low key, healing vacation, and I’d love to go back again and again.

The house is amazing as it has views to both the wildlife preserve and the Bay. It is an ideal place to unwind, relax, and take long walks on the beach. We look forward to returning in the future.

We had a very nice stay at Renee's place. The great room, with its wonderful views of the marshes on one side and the ocean on the other, is what makes the house unique and a pleasure to be in.

My partner & I spent a long weekend here with our 2 small furbabies. It was the much needed respite we needed from a very stressful & busy period in our lives.
We’re already looking forward to planning another visit. Huge thanks to the host, Renee, for being so responsive, kind & providing very detailed instructions. What a treat! :-)

We - 4 adults 1 four year old - had an absolutely delightful week in this lovely Broadkill Beach Home. The owner was very responsive and the house was even better than described. It was clean and well equipped and had beautiful views of the beach and the marsh, sunrise and sunset, porches galore, all the beach equipment imaginable, bikes and so much more. The beach is clean and quiet but a short drive to Rehobeth or Lewes. It was our first visit to Broadkill Beach be we hope not our last!

My family and I recently spent our vacation here and it surpassed all of my expectations. This place is a paradise! The house itself is stunning, with beautiful design and breathtaking views.
The interior is tastefully decorated and most importantly, everything was very clean, creating a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. The amenities in this house are top-notch. They really thought of everything. They had plenty of things for the kids to play with as well as everything we needed for the beach. The shuffleboard table was a really nice touch in the main entertaining area.
But the best part is the view. The large windows and balconies provide a great views of ocean in the front and the wildlife preserve in the back. The beach is just steps away, and it's one of the cleanest and most peaceful I've ever seen. The kids had a blast having most of the beach to themselves.
Renee was a great host and her attention to detail and hospitality were exceptional. Leading up to our stay she provided us with everything we needed to know, things to do in the area, and even places to eat.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect place to unwind and recharge.

This was our second time staying at this property and it was absolutely wonderful.. it is great for families especially with children as the beach is easily accessible and the view with all the nature around is stunning.
Will book again :)

Our stay at Renee's Broadkill Beach property was exceptional as always. With her genuine friendliness, great communication, and commitment to guest satisfaction, it's always a wonderful experience that keeps us coming back! Thank you!

The home was beautiful, very well equipped and so convenient to the beach. The views of the bird sanctuary in the back are spectacular and the screened in porch was a favorite gathering spot. The hosts provide all the beach things you can imagine. There are many fun games for indoor time and we all had a blast. Biting flies were a bit of a torment, we’ll have to research some techniques for dealing with them before our next visit (which we eagerly anticipate).

Well appointed home, as the pictures describe. Lots of room to sprawl out on main/upper floor. Great front and rear decks and screened porch from which we saw ospreys hunt, herons stalk, and much other bird life. Comfortable beds.

Stunning property and views. Short walk to a nearly private beach. Easy drive to Milton, Lewes, or Rohoboth for dining and activities. Our toddler had an absolute blast and we can’t wait to come back again.

My family and I stayed at this great property at Broadkill Beach in the middle of March 2023. The pictures of the property are an accurate representation of this amazing home. Thank you Renee for your prompt communication and opening this property to us. The home is tastefully decorated and very inviting. More amenities to keep you entertained are provided. Great views from the Delaware bay in the front of the house to the nature preserve to the rear of the house. It’s like being in two places at one time. The private access to the beach in short walking distance was very convenient. We took advantage and had a great campfire on the beach underneath the sky full of stars. The community was quiet and slightly off the beaten path (which we appreciate). The fantastic decks provide relaxing views. I can’t say enough good points about this property. Most importantly, Renee’s property allowed for my wife and daughter to completely unwind and relax and that alone was worth the stay. Almost forgot, we were able to bring our fur baby with us keeping our pack intact. Thanks for being dog friendly. The only con I could think of would be the amount of stairs, which wasn’t a problem for us, but could be limiting to elderly or persons with mobility issues. But without the stairs, you wouldn’t be able to capitalize on the fantastic views. I would not hesitate to stay at this property again. It was a great stay. Thanks again Renee.

You won’t find a more charming place or host. The house has everything guests would want for their stay and if there’s anything needed Renee will make sure it’s taken care of for you. If you’re looking for a boardwalk and shops, it’s a few miles away. If you’re looking for peace and tranquility, a short walk to the beach, and the ability to relax, you’ve found the right place!

This rental house and location was food for the soul! The views from the house are indeed, beautiful, peaceful and made the vacation joyful. The host is amazing, responsive and her information was on point. She had some good referrals for restaurants and the house had all the amenities needed for a home away fro home feel. We would highly recommend this place and look forward to returning! I will carry the views from the decks (many to choose from) with me always. Thank you!

This is the third time we have stayed at this incredible property on beautiful Broadkill Beach, and we can't wait to go back!
You can find other homes in the area that are situated on a private beach, others with access to the tidal waterway and a few with unobstructed views of the nature preserve. What makes this home so special is that it's the only one that we found on VRBO with ALL of these features combined into one property. Have the private beach all to yourself - just steps from the front door, fish from your own dock on the tidal waterway out back (even has a cleaning station with running water & crab pot!), watch bald eagles and other amazing views from the back deck overlooking the vast Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge! In addition, it's only minutes from historic Lewes, DE, Rehoboth Beach, shopping, and a wide array of restaurants and unlimited fun activities.
Renee is an incredibly accommodating host, completely committed to ensuring an amazing experience, and the home is spacious with modern conveniences. Our entire family absolutely LOVES this property and can't wait to go back!

This was a lovely spot to unwind, enjoy all the beach has to offer without the crowds.The first week weather was not stellar (2 full days of rain). The saving grace was the delightful screened porch overlooking the preserve. Actually all the pieces were great… if you didn’t care for the weather on the preserve side of the house, there is the breezy beach side! The top most level has a beautiful living area with views of both the preserve and the bay… the kitchen area is newly remodeled and gorgeous. The bedroom level has a delightful kids bunk room and two other bedrooms… one has a slider onto the screened porch, the other is a lovely “ suite “ with beautiful paneling and a vaulted ceiling… a quiet “adult” space away from the kiddos. The home is beautifully appointed, the furniture lovely. Oh, and there are a ton of toys and games for the kids and a cool “shuffle board” game for all! The host was quick to respond to questions and issues and very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this residence!

Second stay at this property and it was super relaxing. Got some great photos of lightening out at sea. Great photos of the wildlife. Fishing was great. Our animals loved it too (parakeet, and two dogs). Last time we went was in the Fall, so our first visit during the summer. Both times of the year are great. Thanks so much for having us.

This home is simply amazing. It has everything from unbelievable views to private access to the beach. We caught our dinner the first night out back then enjoy amazing sunsets at the beach the rest of the week. This location is so quiet and relaxing. 5 stars.

We have been coming to Broadkill for many years and this house was perfect! It was so peaceful and loves having the canal in the back to bird watch and a perfect view of the ocean! House is well equipped, up-to-date. The kitchen has good quality appliances that make it a pleasure to cook in. You feel right at home!

We had a fantastic week at Broadkill Beach. The panoramic views of the Delaware Bay and Prime Hook Nature Reserve are breathtaking. The home has everything you want for a beach trip -- chairs, umbrellas, bikes, etc. We'll definitely be back. Thank you.

Beautiful home and incredible views!
We very much enjoyed our stay here and we all were completely mesmerized by the beauty of the marsh and the views of the bay. The quietness of the area and the peace found in every spot in this beautiful home was amazing. The house was impeccably clean, the host, Renee was great with communication and we found everything we needed for a great visit in the property. Terrific week!
The only con for us was the black flies on the bay beach...which really made it hard to enjoy our plans to just beach there all week. We ended up driving into Cape Henelopen a few days which wasn't as enjoyable since there is a lot of traffic this time of year. Can't be helped and the bay beach was awesome when the wind was blowing there right direction. So beautiful and quiet!

Amazing , Peaceful and Quiet
This is the perfect place for families who just want to relax and take it easy. The beach was steps away , the views were breathtaking and the house was perfect, the space was clean, spacious and met all our needs for our family of 9 (10 if you count the puppy ) ;)
The house/location has everything you can ask for a wonderful vacation. I am already planning another visit ..

Amazing house on the water
My family and dog had a amazing stay at this gorgeous house on broadkill. The house is absolutely gorgeous with high end finishings and details, and more importantly thoughtful and well planned.
The owner was flexible and responsive and all the amenities were spot on. The views are outstanding (pics don’t even come close) and the beach is secluded and very dog friendly.
The only “downside” was that there is no living space on rbe ground level. This could be a bit challenging for older adults and pets. Overall, the house and owner were great and we made awesome memories at the shore this year. Thank you Renee!

This beautiful house was warm and inviting the minute we walked in. When you are in the house on the upper level you have the most open views you will ever have. A virtual wall of windows. It was hard to decide whether to look over the reserve or watch the beautiful ocean. Every room is open and spacious. The House has four decks one of them you could use for an extra bedroom The master bedroom
was so comfortable and equipped with a gas fireplace. Renee was the superhoast she is fabulous. My family and I all agree we are coming again next year. Our dog was very happy we didn’t leave her at home. Every morning while having coffee it was such a joy to watch the red tail hawk skim along the grass looking for food and the Blue Herons standing motionless in the tall grass.5 star in our book.
