(See Amenities section for details.) , kitchen appliances, central AC, gas stove and heat, ceiling fans, TV, master bath, fully furnished, *New septic system Aug2022, outside tiki shower under the stars. Off-street parking and a nice yard with a charcoal and new gas grill for outdoor cooking. And it's just 60 steps from the beach!

Broadkilll Beach is a hidden gem on the Delaware Bay. Drive through the PrimeHook Wildlife Refuge (check this out!) to a small strip of beach that is ‘The Broadkill’. It goes approximately 2 miles in both directions from the main cross street. This is a great place to get your run in. There is only one commercial property that the locals call 'The Mall', where you can get most everything that you might need to enhance your stay. You might feel, at times, that you have the beach to yourself! The people of the area are terrific, friendly and make you feel welcome.
When you need to be near the hustle and bustle of the popular shore points, it's only a short drive away. Wander over rte 16 to the little town of Milton or make your way south on rte 1 towards the beaches of Lewes, Cape Henlopen, Rehoboth, Dewey, and Bethany. Take a 90 minute ferry boat ride on the Cape May/Lewes Ferry out of Cape Henlopen. Spend the day in victorian Cape May, New Jersey. Take your car, bicycle or just walk aboard. There is a trolly on the other side that can take you to town. Get some fresh, right off the boat, scallops at the dockside restaurant at The Lobster House. Of course, you have to play some boardwalk skeeball or you could wait until you get back to Rehoboth to try your hand at that at Funland. The SeaShell shop miniature golf always looks fun, back on Rte 1 in Delaware, or maybe you want to check out all of the outlets. Save the outlets for a rainy day as well as the movie theater that is close by too.
For us, a fun day at the beach is always great; Maybe have your morning coffee on the bench overlooking the bay;start in the morning with a walk to look for seashells; ride the waves; rent a paddleboard or soak up some Vitamin D; then a cookout - I can smell the charcoal-maybe some juicy cheeseburgers tonight and don't forget the smores. On a clear night, look up and see the billions of stars that you won't ever see at home! It's amazing! Open all the windows at night so you can hear the waves while you have the best night's sleep ever! HAVE FUN!!

*Lewes Park and Ride DART Beach Bus 17616 Coastal Highway - park and ride to all beaches, including Ocean City, Md. -check on-line for running hours and distances they go.

    I would have given this charming cottage five stars, except for one issue. We were not aware that we had to bring our own linens – sheets, pillow slips, towels, and beach towels – until after we paid the full amount. Other than that, it accommodated me, my daughter and two grandsons perfectly! The outdoor shower and area were great! It’s just a short walk to the beach, and there is a padded bench where you can sit and watch the sunrise (which the four of us did). The owners were only a text away, and answered quickly each time we had a question. We had a lovely time!

    My family of 6 had a great stay at the cottage! It was just steps to the beach and had everything we needed for a great stay. Lynn was a great host. She was quick to respond to my questions and made some great restaurant recommendations.

    Layout was awesome- easy to talk to everyone wherever they are in the house. Loved the shower outside- made it so easy to get the sand off before going inside.

    Overall we had a great time at the Cottage by the Bay! The property is very close to the beach access and was never crowded. The property was surprisingly bigger than the pictures made it out to look and definitely fit 6 adults comfortably. The amenities were great, specially the outdoor shower, and overall Lynn is a very pleasant person to talk with. She made check in and check out easy and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice Delaware beach trip. For the price you cannot find much better!

    Broadkill beach is ideal for a low key, relaxing vacation. No boardwalk crowds to contend with; it was like having a private beach. For early risers, you can walk out of this house and within seconds be sitting on a bench at the dunes to watch the sun come up over the bay. The house owner is very friendly and helpful in suggesting local restaurants. We had a great time!

    We had a fabulous time staying at this Cottage. The size and location was perfect for us. Just steps from the beach with a nice sitting area, we watched the sunrise one clear morning. We loved the tiki room vibe enhanced with our tiki music playlist on Spotify. Perfectly situated for day trips to Rehobeth, Lewes, and the Cape May ferry, the Cottage is perfect for relaxing and adventuring. The host was fantastic and helpful, making sure our stay was enjoyable from booking to departure.

    This is a quiet, well-appointed house, steps from the beach in a gem of a neighborhood! Off the tourist track and so calm and beautiful!

    Lovely, short walk to the bay where you can swim and enjoy nature. The broadkill store is a short walk to get donuts or ice cream. Lovely neighborhood. We enjoyed outlr stay and felt very relaxed.
