The Retreat is just 20 minutes from the charming and historic town of Lewes and Lewes Beach. Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes is stunning-make sure you check out the historic Army Base and Fort Miles. Also within short driving distance is Delaware Turf Sports Complex.

    We stayed here for four nights in the middle of the week in mid-October. Highly recommend! It was very comfortable for us. I loved being able to walk to the beach, but then also being among the trees when sitting on the porch. We cooked all of our meals at the cottage, enjoyed sitting in the sunroom, and slept well in the comfortable bed. It is not too far of a drive to the grocery store in Milton, and also not far to drive to Lewes and Rehoboth for a day trip. We would definitely stay again!

    Enjoyed this house, very comfortable for four of us and a dog. Appliances are new and worked as they should. The front living room is a great place to gather, watch tv, and play games. The area is great for walks, and the beach isn’t far. Very quiet in early June. This was our first time staying in Broadkill. We would definitely book this house again if we come back to the area.

    Property was comfortable and clean. Well furnished with small appliances, linens. Lighting was good. Perfect for two couples to enjoy reading and conversation. Neighborhood is very quiet.Kitchen cookware, prep dishes and utensils could stand to be replaced. Some minor repairs needed. BBQ needs to be cleaned. Seem to need an account to watch most TV programs.

    Communication was excellent. We spent two nights visiting family on our way to Florida. The accommodations were outstanding. The block and a half to walk to the beach was fabulous. As we were visiting in late November we had the beach all to ourselves. We will definitely stay here again.

    The house was very comfortable - well equipped kitchen was appreciated - easy walk to the beach - no bugs - nice relaxing weekend. we appreciated that it was pet friendly and not a dump - nice house - one suggestion for improving would be to add or move a gate to the front steps of the porch so that pets could be let out into the back yard more easily and they could hang out on the porch with their people. Thanks for sharing your house and beach with us.

    This house is exactly as described. An older beach house, about 4 houses and an impromptu wood slat path's walk from Broadkill Beach. The real hardwood floors, small rooms and narrow doors also hint to the age of the property, but also are key to its charm. This is not to say the house is without updates. The kitchen and master bathroom are nicely updated, and the massive butcher-block dining table suggests a full complement of guests could easily eat and play in the dining area. A sunroom extension has been added. A window AC unit keeps the room comfortable as it will heat up pretty quickly, which it can be a tad loud if you are trying to watch things in the evening. The neighbours are hit or miss, in our experience, which likely relates to whether they live there or are other vacationing renters. However, you didn't have too many to deal with. The host is great, responsive and keeps the house well cleaned, and reasonably stocked with cups, cutlery, pans, etc. Broadkill is a secluded, wild beach with only really locals walking around. Dogs are usually off leash, so be careful with your furry friends as some of those dogs aren't well behaved. Broadkill DOES have jellyfish near the shore. Better for walking, picking up shells, sunbathing and listening to the waves rather than jumping in the water. Fear not, tho. Rehoboth and Dewey Beach are near, for boardwalks, parties and tourists. Cape Henlopen is even closer ($$) for quiet, groomed, less crowded beach.

    We must say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Julie was quick to respond and very accommodating. Upon entry the home was extremely clean and stocked with the necessary kitchen accessories. We spent our first day @ the Cape Henlopen State Park beach, which was extremely crowded, so we decided to spend the remainder of our beach time on Broadkill Beach where the water was warmer and our extremely shy dog was able to cope with the serenity. Taught the granddaughters shore fishing on Broadkill beach which produced a fish just about every cast, they loved it. We used DART Park and Ride to spend one night on the boardwalk getting into the action without having to worry about traffic or parking. We also utilized the abundant game boards that were provided. I could go on but needless to say we created many family memories @ this serene beach cottage. As Bob Hope would always end a show by saying Thanks for the memories we also are echoing his same heart felt ending.

    Julie's beach cottage was perfect for myself, my wife, our dog, and infant son. Plenty of space - it would be a great fit for two couples with younger kids, or a family plus a set of grandparents. Kitchen had more than enough cookware, though it wasn't stocked with any pantry staples beyond salt and pepper. The front room which presumably used to be a porch was very cozy for evening television/family time. House was neat and clean, everything we used was in good working order. Very short walk and easy access to the nice beach (on the bay). No lifeguard on the beach near the property. Bring plenty of bug spray and some lightweight long sleeves, you will use them, even in the middle of summer. 30 minute drive to Rehoboth to get your boardwalk time in. I Highly recommend Big Oyster Brewing for food and drinks. If you're looking for a low-key beach getaway, this property is a great way to go!
