About this property

🏖Sunset Gem, Waterfront Creek/Dock 🚣‍♀️ Beach Across Street 🦴Pet Friendly

  • Gorgeous sunsets, private dock, beach just across the street and plenty of room for everyone!!! Nature lovers, fishing folks and sunset fans will love this Broadkill Beach retreat! Awesome views abound - front deck has bay views, rear deck features plenty of seating for those amazing sunsets over the wildlife refuge. Sunset deck in rear yard leads to a dock behind the house for kayakers, fishing and crabbing, or just sitting watching the creek go by with a good book. Beach access and bay just across the street for the best of both worlds. Upper level loft provides another living space to enjoy some quiet time -- complete with sofa, powder room, bedroom with queen bed, and adjacent kid's room with lego table. Great outdoor shower. Just minutes to quaint Milton with supermarket and dining, and Lewes/Rehoboth Beach with its fine dining, boardwalk and outlet shopping. House sleeps 8, but up to 10 guests allowed for extra fee. Bring your dogs up to 75 lbs with pet fee. Sheets and towels not provided - please bring your own along with your food/play items!

We are returning renters and we can’t say enough good things about this place. It is great for kids walk to the beach and we could have a dog. The views from the back porch for morning coffee and evening sunset is just so relaxing. The house is spacious and held all of our multigenerational families.

Wonderful Broadkill House

We've stayed in Broadkill 3 times, and this was by far our favorite place. Clean and well taken care of, plenty of sleeping space, beautiful view, close to the beach and great books on the shelf! Renter was also very communicative and helpful.

Great Stay!

This was our second stay at this rental, everything was wonderful! The owner is very sweet and helpful. We took our dogs and they had a fun time at the beach :) The only downside is the biting flies…. Def bring bug spray! Overall, the place is comfortable and easily accommodated our group of adults, 2 seniors and 4 kids :) we will most definitely stay here again! Love this place!

Great house at Broadkill

We have stayed here before and like the house. The bathrooms and kitchen could use some updating, but it is a great place to spend time with friends and family. Laurie is a great host and great at communicating. She always makes herself available to answer questions.

Relaxing week at the beach!

The house is located on Broadkill Beach. It felt like we had a private beach as there was no others near us for most of the week. The house comfortably fit our family of six and was well equipped. The host checked in on us several times. It was a 20-25 minute drive to Lewes or Rehoboth Beach if you wanted go out to eat or do some of the local activities (shopping, boardwalk, mini-golf).

40th Anniversary Trip

My husband and I and our two grown children and their spouses and two grandsons and two dogs had a fabulous time. Our oldest grandson, my husband and son and son-in-law went crabbing, and caught several crabs. Loved that the beach was steps from the rental and everyone loved Broadkill beach. Most days no one was there. Our 11 yr.old Lab loved swimming there too.

Lovely beach week

This is our second stay with 5 adults and 2 children. The house fits our family perfectly with plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen is well stocked and large for several people to be working at the same time. We love the back deck overlooking the canal, gorgeous sunsets and morning coffee. The beach entrance is down a bit further this year but still close and easy to go back and forth with kids. This is no reflection of the house or host but the biting flies were vicious a couple of days, still we persisted and made every day a beach day- just bring insect repellent! Loved our stay 😊

Breath Taking, Memory Making

We loved getting to spend the week together at this beautiful home. Many incredible memories made for my family. We caught a couple bushel of crabs from the dock. Hooked a few fish from the beach just a few steps away. Spent a few nights eith my nephew in funland riding rides. The beach was peaceful, with few others to share it with and we couldnt ask for better weather. The house is so comfortable and homey. From the second you walk through the door it was easy to rest, relax and just enjoy the beautiful setting. The nature preserve in the back yard was enjoyed every morning and evening. Not only did we get to share the great view, but it also led to great conversations that only happen in a place like this. What a great week! Thanks Laurie for your kindness! Also youre gonna be blown away by the sunsets! Overall

Another great stay!

This was our second stay at Laurie’s wonderful house in Broadkill. We love the open layout of the home and how well stocked everything is. We had two families and a pup with us and there was plenty of room to move around and hang out. The dock on the back of the house was great for crabbing but the sunset views are second to none. We also love how close the beach access is from the home. We spent the entire week crabbing and fishing from the dock, and surf fishing from the beach. There was only one other family on the beach with us during the week so it was otherwise complete calm, quiet and secluded. It definitely beats being around all of the crowds on other Delaware beaches! We got lucky because the green head flies weren’t too bad this week, but beware, because they can get bad if the winds shift off of the sound side. The mosquitoes, however, were awful this week but we came prepared with an enforced arsenal of bug repellents, lotions and anti-itch cream. That comes from experience. Laurie is an excellent host and is incredibly responsive to messages. She makes every effort to ensure that needs are met and that her guests are comfortable. We appreciate her wonderful service and beach home and highly recommend!

Family Rendezvou

We booked this property for a two week stay. During this time, we had some friends and family stay with us for various periods of time. The house could easily accommodate the 7 or 8 that we had at any given time. We loved the large kitchen and dining area where everyone could get together. Having access to the river/creek behind the house was great because we could catch and eat crabs anytime we wanted! And yes, the sunsets are amazing! If there was anything negative, it was the mosquitoes and flies from the marsh could get bad at times and the smell from the marsh in the evening was bad, depending on which way the wind was blowing. you do kinda get used to that! Also, for older folks (like us) the front steps visually blend together, and you don't always see the edge of the step. We had some missteps there. Also, the shower in the Master B.R. could use some grab bars, especially for those of us with bad knees! If we had any questions, Laurie was easily reachable. All in all...we had a great time.

Better than the description!

:Kitchen equipment is much better than other places we have stayed: superior pots/pans, sharp knives. (Needs more large mixing/serving bowls.) Mattresses great; pillows not so much (flat and few). No mosquitoes from tidal creek bc water is in motion. Great crabbing/fishing from dock. Note that there is NO HOT TUB. There is a 2-person soaking tub in master.Great quiet, mostly owner neighborhood. Beach difficult during day because of biting flies (leave bloody wounds) and other itch-producing bugs. Early AM and later day are fine. Hardly anyone on beach. Water super warm and calm. Great tidal pools with critters. Lovely decor and furnishings (higher end), lots of games/books. No beach equipment, but some crab traps (we left one.) Good reading lamps in master BR. Flies in house but there is zapper. Tiny ants on sill and counter in kitchen/dining. Amazing birds, multi-colored views over preserve, silence. No restaurants nearby, but lots in Lewes. Grocery about 15 minutes away with liquor and drug stores in same spot. Excellent communication with host who is ready to please.Super place for treasure hunts with kids.Extra large very new laundry machines.

We spent our first family vacation here for our 2 year old’s birthday. It was perfect for a quiet, family oriented getaway. Lewes downtown/restaurants was about 20-30minutes away, which was manageable with our toddler. Laurie (homeowner) was accommodating, communicative and kind. The layout of the house and proximity to the beach made for a safe, fun, convenient and unforgettable experience. We will be booking again in the future!
