Welcome to Prime Hook Beach!

This is a beautiful 3 bedroom, one bath raised cottage on the beach with a fenced in yard.

Watch the sun and the moon rise over the Delaware Bay from this quiet, comfortable beachfront retreat. This easy-going cottage offers a laid-back place to celebrate life, especially for those who travel with their dogs.

Cook your favorite meals in our full kitchen, already supplied with spices and condiments, or go out to a decadent meal in one of thearea's gourmet restaurants. The beach resort offers numerous activities from golf and watersports to theater and tax-free shopping, all within a few minutes' drive, but this is the place you want to call home at the end of the day.

Relax while reading a good book in the sunroom, a bonfire on your private beach in summer if the wind is right, or just a simple moment of solitude wandering along the water's edge in any season. Retreat to one of your three bedrooms (one queen, one double bed, two twin bunk bed) and fall asleep with the sound of the waves lapping the shore.

There's one full bath and, in summer, an outdoor shower to comfortably rinse off the salt and sand. You can also hook up a quick-connect hose to rinse off your pup with warm water.

Only two hours from Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia, yet a world away from the stress and hassles. Escape the hustle of your work week with a relaxing weekend.

Take time to rest, to play. Make time for yourself, and for those you love. Come to the Happy Crab at Prime Hook Beach, where we provide all the basics for your comfort.

    This was the third time we stayed at this property. The location is excellent. Our dogs loved the beach. If you plan on cooking while on vacation, bring your own knives! I also brought my own coffee mug.

    Do not let the good reviews fool you. We arrived at the property on Thursday at 2:00 to check in. Upon opening the door there was trash on the floor and counter in the kitchen. It was pretty hot in the house initially, 85 degrees, but I figured the air had just been turned on for our arrival and would give it time to cool down. We left, went to get an early dinner and some groceries. When we returned at 5:15 it was 88 degrees in the house. I attempted to call the office and no one answered so I called the emergency line. The voice mail box was full. I sent an email on VRBO advising the AC was not working. My husband and I opened every window and turned on all fans but we were only able to get the temp in the house to drop to 85. We ended up going to Home Depot and buying fans. The next morning I again tried the emergency line, mail box was still full. I started calling the office at 8 and leaving messages. NO ONE ever returned my call, nor did anyone come out to fix the AC. Aside from the issues with the AC, there were spider webs in every corner of the house. When we ran the water in the shower and the sinks the smell of sewage from the septic was awful. We will definitely never stay at this property or any property managed by Ideal Property Solutions.

    Great area! If you are looking for a peaceful beach area this is great. Restaurants and stores about 10-15 min drive. Bay beach access behind home is perfect. Small fenced in back yard is perfect for furbabies. Has great views of the sunrise.

    This is the second time we rented this property. The location and the beach as our front yard is a major plus! The house is spacious and both the humans and the dogs in our family enjoyed the stay. Kitchen could use a bit more in terms of equipment: sharp knives and coffee mugs are in short supply.

    Kitchen could use some more items. Can opener didn’t work and not enough utensils. There was a very soiled pillow on the bed. Stove top grimy, counters dirty, bathroom sink had hair in it, shower curtain was filthy, dead bugs on window sills kitchen floor not swept. I cleaned before I even unpacked. New cleaning co is definitely in order!

    When we first arrived, it was 93 degrees in the house. No big deal, we will kick on the A/C and get it livable was what we thought. The a/c did not work. We called the property management company at 4:30 on a Thursday and nobody answered or returned our call until the next morning. The emergency contact line mailbox was full, so we couldn’t reach them that way either. When they did call back, they sent someone out to the house. They couldn’t get there until 4pm. Again, we can deal with it. When the contractor arrived he figured out what was wrong and called the company to get authorization. This was at 4:25 on Friday. Again, nobody answered and the emergency line mailbox was still full. I still have not heard back from anyone about it. We had our dog with us and were unable to leave them in the house because it was unbearably hot, and my wife and I suffered all weekend. It didn’t help it was the hottest weekend of the year. The house itself would have been ideal, it the nightmare that we dealt with made it unenjoyable.

    The place was awesome, the house was beautiful with what you had done with it! Little disappointed with the wood pathway to the beach, wood is old and some pieces broken. But, other that that we loved everything. We want to rent this house next summer, so I will be reaching out to you again I. September! Thanks again Dan Mitchell

    Spacious house, excellent location, steps away from the beach. Dog friendly house and neighborhood. Highly recommended! Will return next year.
