We must say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Julie was quick to respond and very accommodating. Upon entry the home was extremely clean and stocked with the necessary kitchen accessories. We spent our first day @ the Cape Henlopen State Park beach, which was extremely crowded, so we decided to spend the remainder of our beach time on Broadkill Beach where the water was warmer and our extremely shy dog was able to cope with the serenity. Taught the granddaughters shore fishing on Broadkill beach which produced a fish just about every cast, they loved it. We used DART Park and Ride to spend one night on the boardwalk getting into the action without having to worry about traffic or parking. We also utilized the abundant game boards that were provided. I could go on but needless to say we created many family memories @ this serene beach cottage. As Bob Hope would always end a show by saying "Thanks for the memories" we also are echoing his same heart felt ending.

Julie's beach cottage was perfect for myself, my wife, our dog, and infant son. Plenty of space - it would be a great fit for two couples with younger kids, or a family plus a set of grandparents. Kitchen had more than enough cookware, though it wasn't stocked with any pantry staples beyond salt and pepper. The front room which presumably used to be a porch was very cozy for evening television/family time. House was neat and clean, everything we used was in good working order. Very short walk and easy access to the nice beach (on the bay). No lifeguard on the beach near the property. Bring plenty of bug spray and some lightweight long sleeves, you will use them, even in the middle of summer. 30 minute drive to Rehoboth to get your boardwalk time in. I Highly recommend Big Oyster Brewing for food and drinks. If you're looking for a low-key beach getaway, this property is a great way to go!

We had a wonderful stay at Broadkill Beach. The house was great. Just as described on the listing. The master shower is huge and it's very welcome after a day out on the beach. Only 20 minutes from DE Turf fields, which is the reason we were in DE. Would definitely stay here again!

Some serious issues. Dining room rug curled on all edges. Terrible tripping hazard. Had to move table and arrange chairs so we didnt kill ourselves. Door knob on storm door loose. No tools to fix. Outside shower hydrant frozen. Day we left pouring rain, no gutter at front door..soaked. no water last morning. NO emergency contact numbers anywhere. Swimming with jelly fish very unpleasant and painful...still. outdoor umbrella broken so no shade sitting outside. Nice linens, nice house, nice beds..

We had a great time staying in this house on Broadkill Beach. The house was nicely located a block from the beach, had a great kitchen, comfortable beds, a large assortment of games (which my kids loved), and really everything you could need! The host was very responsive when there was an issue with the water (not their fault! A work crew had shut off water to the area) even calling the utility company to follow up on when the water would be turned on. We really enjoyed Broadkill Beach area -- nice a quiet and a lovely getaway!
