We had a wonderful weekend at Broadkill beach - including because the house was great. It was large enough for two families, and was sunny and beachy. We were able to check in early, which we appreciated. The house is a short walk to the beach, which we basically had to ourselves in mid-April. Overall a terrific place to stay.

From first contact through checkout, this was the best VRBO experience I've had as a renter. The owner communicated promptly and fully to each of my questions. The listing was accurate -- in fact the kitchen was even BETTER supplied than we expected! The pictures were helpful and accurate. The house is very comfortable, VERY nicely renovated, and the location ideal for beach access and a quiet, relaxing visit. We were there in March for an adult getaway of siblings and it was perfect. Warm one day, chilly the next, but the house was perfect for cooking, eating, lounging, talking, napping. Local walks were great. There was one previous negative comment and I can't imagine what those people expected or why they were unwilling to wait for answers to their concerns -- we found the owner AND the house to be wonderful. We give it the highest ratings.

Even though my visit was in the middle of a blizzard in January I still found the experience and communication with the owner exceptional. The house is lovely and very close to the beach. That does make it clear that you can't see the beach from the house and I would definitely take that into consideration as I tend to be one who really needs to see the water. Beyond that, it was a wonderful experience!

We’re big fans of Broadkill Beach and have rented several houses in the area. This house is close to the beach and has everything you need to enjoy a getaway!

For $1000 for 2 nights we were robbed and LEFT AFTER 12 HOURS. . Two broken doors on hinges. No tv. No wifi.filthy oven. Only 2 stove burners worked. Fireplave glass doors fell off when we tried to make a fire . Fireplace had old burned wood and black soot fell when we tried to open flue. NOT ON WATER or water views. Owner was harassing. She said we should have asked about the place being clean and well cared for and just take it as is. She was aware of the condition which is some cases is unsafe.

Booked this house for a lacrosse tournament at the nearby sports facility. Broadkill beach is a nice chill town. Before staying at this property, I had a lot of contact with the owner who is very pleasant to deal with. Check-in was pretty smooth. I paid extra for the sheet and towel package because we didn’t want to hassle with bringing from home. There was a slight problem with not enough towels and the owner was very responsive and brought some over personally. The house was pretty comfortable. There are four rooms and two bathrooms. We were a group of eight and it felt a bit tight with sleeping arrangements although the owner provided an extra twin bed which helped. My son rode the bikes which was nice to have. We brought our dog and walked her on the beach every day which was really nice. The beaches here are not super swimmable but also not crowded. Although the water is visible from the house, it is a tiny sliver of you that you’ll probably never use but it was a very convenient walk I’ll probably only a couple hundred feet. All in all, I had a nice stay and a lot of fun, the owner was a pleasure to deal with. My only complaint might be that the cost seemed a bit high but it was comparable to everything else in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Broadkill Beach. The location was perfect and we made many trips to the beach throughout the day. The house was clean and well-appointed and we had all we needed for this October stay!

The whole process of selecting and booking the property went smoothly. Owner was very responsive every step of the way. Loved the location, as the property is an easy walking distance from the beach (3rd lot back). We were a party of 9 with one dog and it was a tight fit (we had 4 kids and 5 adults and our configuration didn't fit the available beds as well as we had hoped.) Loved all the windows, the private beach, and the fireplace was beautiful, although it was too hot out to use it. Would be nice if the driveway was wider.

This was a pretty good stay. The location of the property is excellent - not too from Broadkill Rd or the beach. Very close to the beach. It's a pretty good size house with two levels and under-house storage area filled with sand. It has a good-sized deck in the front and smaller screened-in deck in the back. Most necessities are provided for you - just need to bring your own towels, sheets and toiletries, which is very clearly called out in the listing, so we had no issues doing that. Some of the furniture and fixtures are a bit outdated - that's just a minor area for improvement. There's a lot of stuff in the house, some of it not being used, which made it feel a little more cramped than expected. Overall, another great stay in Broadkill Beach. Just read the listing details - the owner does a great job of being up front in it with everything, so you know what to expect before you book. That's really all you can ask for. Owner was also very responsive on the app, which is always a plus. Thanks Pat!

Great location, basically beachfront. Felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Newly remodeled house with very comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, and well stocked kitchen. Close to Milton and Lewes. House needs some basic maintenance (blinds that need some repair, burned out lightbulbs, closet doors that don’t fully close, front door latch sticks a bit) but it didn’t keep us from really enjoying our week!

We went for the horseshoe crab migration and were amazed!

This home is a lovely and comfortable getaway if you are looking for peace and quiet with the water just steps from your door! Also in close proximity to Rehobeth, where we spent a fun day having luncn and shopping! Thanks much for the hospitality, Pat!

We have a seasonal campsite close to Broadkill Beach and needed to move some things around during the weekend day. We didn't want to stay at a hotel due to COVID and it's not exactly the most comfortable. This was our first experience renting a house. My retired parents, and my family (including 2 children) stayed in the house over the weekend. Check-in was super easy and the owner (Pat) was super responsive. The house was clean, a few areas where we felt a little dated like the blinds, kitchen table, living room furniture but this really was someplace for us to be together. Our kids loved the back room area and found lots of DVDs to watch during the downtime. The beach is a short walk, like half a block and the kids absolutely loved the little waves that came through. We are no strangers to DE beaches and Broadkill Beach is a great quiet beach. We enjoyed it so much that we spent some time looking at the houses and properties for sale. Overall this was a great experience, Pat was super responsive and transparent about everything we needed. Bring your own sheets, pillows, blankets and toiletries. She is kind enough to offer some paper products but if you are staying longer than 2 days - bring your own (perhaps leave some behind to replenish). Thank you Pat! We will definitely keep your house in mind in the future!

Took my 20 year old and a few friends to celebrate her birthday. The house is so lovely and comfortable. We rode bikes and walked right down to the beach for sunsets. Definitely plan on going back and would highly recommend

The house was really big and spacious. Very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The fireplace was wonderful. The neighborhood was nice and not commercial at all. It was located just 1 house away from the beach. So minimal car time. The only down sides to the rental were we had to bring our own sheets and towels which was inconvenient since we were on an extended trip and didn’t know until after we booked, and the house was chilly even after cranking up the heat. They do have space heaters that helped but the main room stayed chilly.( It didn’t help that it was 32 degrees outside! ).

This property is great for nature lovers. Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Cape Henlopen State Park, Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge and others are all nearby. This property provides a great home base!

I like to be honest as I depend on reviews before I book. The house was cute, clean, and approximately 300 yards to the beach. We had some issues. We brought our own pillows as I’m glad we did because the ones provided had a body odor scent at least in the room we slept in. It’s a pet friendly property but if you allow pets on furniture at home you can be charged so bring dog beds as we did. Landscape not ideal for pets. Went during Xmas as we recently lost family members, needed some happiness for our first holiday without them. It was cold, the owner controls the thermostat which other renters had mentioned. It is inconvenient to have to text the owner every time you want to adjust the temp. There is no tv in the great room to enjoy coffee in the AM or watch a movie, since it was cold in the evening. There is one smart tv in the back bedroom but w/ 4 people, it was crowded. Other renters mentioned this as well. There are 2 other tvs for dvds in bedrooms. During the summer, we wouldn’t have watched tv as the property had activities that would have been great for warm months. Again, we brought our own tv, glad we did. On Christmas Day, I planned to make family dinner, upon arrival, we noticed a leak under the sink. We had to clean out the sink and use our towels (as you have to bring your own dish towels, towels, and linens) to clean the mess. Then of course had to wash them to be able to shower with them. Needless to say, making Xmas dinner was a challenge without a sink and just an inconvenience. The owner’s voicemail was full so I’m glad two numbers were listed for the property. After reaching her, she quickly had a plumber scheduled, which was appreciated. This was still an inconvenience on vacation as we had to make sure someone was home as the dogs were there etc. The owner did offer a pizza for the trouble but felt it wasn’t a big deal but I disagreed and felt it warranted more (a discount) as it was the holidays. We will be going back to the area but looking at other rentals. The man who initially came to look at the sink was rude, he instructed us that we better pick up after our dogs or poop will be on the door step & to mind the private property signs. We always pick up after our dogs & had no intention of entering private areas. Locals don’t seem to like renters. Loved Lewes beach, people are so nice! We spent time there, I did enjoy beach runs during our stay. It could be a perfect fit for some but this property was not for us.
