We enjoyed our stay at Broadkill beach and we will definitely be back. Very quiet area. The house worked great for our family. Lots of room for everyone and a short walk to the beach.
It was a nice house in a quiet area and great location, with the Broadkill sound on one side and the beach nearby on the other. The public beach access was just across the street and a short walk in to the sand and water!
The house was perfect. It had all of the essentials needed for a great vacation. Great location, a short walk to the beach, the dock was great for crabbing. The back decks were perfect to watch the sunset. We very much enjoyed our stay.
Don’t be expecting a fancy place but it was comfortable and perfect for our family. Lots of books and games and nice big kitchen table for the family to eat and play games.
Thank you so much for allowing my family enjoy your beautiful beach house! We could not have asked for a better location to enjoy both the canal and the beach. We will be booking our trip for next year!!
The owners are very friendly and helpful. Responded quickly to any questions or requests . The view of the sound and the bay are awesome from the house . It is a great spot for a large family . I would love it if it was cleaner ,especially the kitchen . I would definitely stay there again.
It was smooth sailing all the way, from check in and throughout our entire stay. The neighborhood was quiet with lots of access to water. It was almost like having the beach to ourselves and the kids loved it!
Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.
I love how quiet and peaceful broadkill beach is. We enjoyed our short get away over the last few days! House was as advertised. A couple little things needed cleaned prior to unpacking but overall a great experience! Thanks for sharing your house with us!
The views are spectacular, the house has plenty of bedrooms, it is well stocked with puzzles, games, and books. The grill and kitchen are all wonderful with everything you need and there is plenty of porch space to entertain. They provided kayaks and have their own dock to launch from. Super convenient to the ocean - 2 minute walk and is nice and quiet. Would definitely go back
The 3 levels of this house provided plenty of space and privacy for each family unit. My husband and I loved the screened back porch for morning coffee and bird songs. Our granddaughter loved the spiral stairs! Beautiful, quiet beach and calm water.
Our first trip to Broadkill Beach and it won’t be our last!! So convenient to the beach and we loved the privacy! Bedrooms on 3 different floors worked well for us. Owner very responsive to any questions we had.
Our 3-year old grandson said this morning as we were leaving “Can we all come back to this house next year?”!! That says it all!!
Had a great family week with lots of room to spread out. Wish the jellyfish weren't so thick, after a couple of stings we had to drive to Lewes or Rehobeth to get in the water. Very well equipped kitchen, but could use a deep clean and some TLC. Excellent host, quick to respond and very helpful.

Problems at 1603 S. Bayshore Drive
House needs a good cleaning. Cobwebs all over the house. Black mold in the downstairs bathroom. Fan provided in ground floor room, was full of dust, we could not use the fan. The ceiling fan by the stove stopped working. The heat shields on the barbecue were so rusty, they collapsed on the heating elements. Would not use it! It was fun to have my family here, but it left a lot to be desired
We first rented this property during covid and found the seclusion perfect to avoid covid. Now we continue to come for the privacy and seclusion. The beach is a short walk over the dune across from the house so we go often, even for just a short sunrise walk with the pup. Most of our time at the house is spent on the screened in porch sipping drinks, reading, watching the marsh birds and sunsets (all while avoiding mosquitos!). The kitchen has everyhing we need.
This year we experienced tropical storm Ophelia during our stay which was exciting. Sorta like being in a carwash for two days. The house stood her ground and Im sure the leaks discovered will be fixed before the next deluge.
The kitchen and bathrooms are very clean but, we used the downstairs suite for the first time this trip and, once again, my son and his wife felt the need to wash the comforter and mattress pad.
Our pup loves the house and loves being on the beach!

Location
Don't know when the pictures of the property were taken, however we found them to be misleading and not accurate representation of reality.
The tile floors are in rough shape. The refrigerator, vent hood, and cabinet are in desperate need of replacement. There was a noticable odor in the house all week.
The dust on vent grate in living room under the TV was gross. I didn't think I should be responsible to move the TV to get to it to clean it. I cleaned the first day we were there, and I cleaned b4 we left.
I am glad my kids weren't able to come down because I would have been embarrassed by the cleanliness of the place.
We don't believe our experience was a good value for the weekly rental asking price.
The only thing this place has going for it is the proximity to the beach the sunrise and sunset views.
Overall we loved our stay. It was unfortunate that the basement bedroom/bathroom did not have access to the main part of the house so guests had to walk outdoors to join others on the main floor. The 2nd floor bathroom only has a bathtub with a slanted roof so an adult can’t stand up to use it. We loved the screened in porch, dock, kitchen, sun decks, and beach access. The owners were incredibly kind and easy to talk to any time we had questions. We are very grateful for our stay.
Our stay was wonderful. Close to beach access and dock for crabbing. Mark and Jeanne were very responsive to communication. We would definitely stay again!
The house was very spacious. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces. We were able to put our kayak in at the creek with no problems. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. The sunset views were beautiful. There are plenty of dishes and utensils. The table was big enough for the six of us (with room to spare). Washer and dryer were clean and worked well. Would definitely book again.
Should note that one bedroom is up a spiral staircase. Was fine for us but could be challenging to others. Also that one bedroom has its own entrance not thru the main house.
The house was clean the owners were helpful the beach at the bay is very close. Fishing was good and we had a campfire right at the waters edge! Very nice
