About this house rental

Welcome to The Shorebird, a peaceful get-away in Prime Hook Beach, Delaware. Fully renovated in 2023, our all season home overlooks the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and sits across the street from the private and quiet Delaware Bay beach. Close to the popular Delaware beaches, Cape Henlopen State Park, restaurants, shopping and action for the kids but tucked away from the traffic and crowds.

We’re you're kind of place if you enjoy:
-Being off the beaten path: we're just a small community of homes along the bay and the refuge.
-Sunrise-watching, surf fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding across the street.
-Spreading out or walking the long, natural/uncombed beach while sharing it with horseshoe crabs, shorebirds and treasures that change with the seasons.
-Watching migratory birds and sunsets over the refuge water from the comfort of our huge windows or back porch.
-Catching crabs or fish off the bridge and cooking them for dinner.
-Kayaking, fresh water fishing and birdwatching from the many close-by trails.
-Taking the bikes for a spin through the refuge and neighboring farmland.
-Heading out to the close-by historic towns of Milton and Lewes for great restaurants, antiquing and shows.
-Ending the night with drinks and a fire on the beach.
-Staying in and cozying up to the gas fireplace while stargazing out the picture window.

We strive to have a clean and organized home so that your stay is comfortable. Our guests love the many amenities we provide so that you don't have to pack them: quality sheets & towels, plenty of blankets and pillows and a well stocked kitchen. For the beach we have a kayak & paddle board, 8 chairs, an umbrella & tent and lots of toys. We also have bikes for the whole family, plenty of books, puzzles & games (even an air hockey and mini ping pong table). Come to relax and explore!

This property was way more than expected. Lots of room, lots of amenities, and a location that was across the street from the beach and backed up to a wildlife refuge with wonderful views.

This is almoat a private island. The views alone are worth it. Close enough to markets and attractions but away from the bustle. The host was on top of her game. There was a lot of experience and thought put into this place. We had a memorable time.

The description of this property is extremely accurate, as are the many very positive reviews. If you desire a quiet location to enjoy a peaceful vacation, this property will be perfect. Another great advantage of is the diverse range of amenities and supplies provided by the property owner. It is a windfall to be able to travel without having to transport baby gates, portable cribs, books, toys, bikes, kayak, paddle board, beach chairs, towels, bedding, etc. On our one rainy day the air hockey, ping-pong and other games were great for occupying the time of our Grandchildren. We will return in the future.

This is one of those rare times where the house is actually better than the pictures (hard to believe, right?!) We had an incredible stay and can’t wait to book again. The house has absolutely everything you could ever need. It is beautifully decorated and feels like home from the moment you walk in. The views…. The views are unmatched- my husband and I spent every night on the screened in porch watching the sunset. Truly, a little slice of heaven. Julie and Donavon were a pleasure to communicate with.. our experience far exceeded our expectations.

The house, the setting and the owners were special. Many good birding spots nearby. The owners recommendations as to restaurants all panned out.

EVERYTHING was clean and so well organized. The home was equipped with ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you will need. There has been so much thought and care put into the home to make sure your stay is perfect. The layout of home and screened in porches are wonderful. The bed linens and towels were great quality. The home is beautifully decorated. Even the basement was well organized, clean, and great fun for our kids. The drive to the property is gorgeous and the private community is quiet and welcoming. 10 stars!

Our stay with you exceeded our expectations. Our 18 year old said it was her favorite vacation AirB&B ever. The setting was intensely restorative and beautiful, full of some of nature’s best kept secrets. Who knew a wild life refuge could captivate, delight our souls and bring such renewal? But pairing it with a close ocean beach, long walks on the sand and many sweet hours in the delightfully decorated, ultra clean and extremely well appointed beach house, brought us a dream vacation. We want to come back!!!

Mid century decor meets beachy simple chic in a home that sits, and feels, bigger than it is. Great music on the record player and fun games to pass the time between gazing at wildlife and sunsets. Close enough to Rehoboth touristy fun, but plenty distant to feel secluded, too. Was a perfect ending to a week in DC.
