    This is our fifth year at Tess’s beautiful home on the beach. We continue to return because it feels like home to all my family…so welcoming. The beach is usually ours alone, the water is perfect for my grandchildren (ages 9-17) and for the adults too. Tess is wonderful and we can’t wait to return next year. Cheers Tess

    This house was a perfect choice for nine people of three generations.Situated on a quiet, private stretch of Broadkill Beach, the house was large and very well-equipped. The large dining table enabled us all to sit together for meals. A wrap-around porch enabled beautiful ocean views and safe outdoor play space for the toddlers. The homeowner was easily accessible via text and seemed genuinely concerned that we have an optimal experience. Access to the house was immediate via a keypad with no need to pick up a key. This location is ideal for families with small children, as the homeowner has provided many amenities for children/babies (ex: baby shampoo, faucet extensions for handwashing, high chair, pack-n-play, toys, etc.) and the quiet beach with gentle waves was preferable to the rougher surf down in the Rehoboth area. There is also a nice selection of books and games for adults. There is no shoulder on the winding access road to the house, so walking on the road with small children is not advised. But long beach walks were a pleasure and grocery shopping, golf, and a small convenience store are in quick driving distance.

    This was our 8th stay at this beautiful home. It has become the family's favorite place to be together. Some of the grandchildren were 7 on their first vacation here and now are 18 and still look forward to staying at our Broadkill Beach House. The younger grandchildren are experiencing the fun too. Tess makes you feel so welcome and cannot do enough to make your visit easy and relaxing. The updates to the house and amenities are 5-star hotel quality! Not having to bring linens makes packing much lighter! We are so grateful to Tess for providing such a wonderful place to make family memories!

    Having rented homes on the water for over 30 years we found Great Escape to be rated in the top tier. Starting with Tess the owner's communication and endless information to be accurate and valuable. The house was immaculate with everything needed for an enjoyable week. Looking forward to renting again .... john h

    This home is everything it says to be and more. The home has a welcoming beach themed decor. You don’t need to bring much. Plenty of beach items, toys, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and kitchen items. Oven and grill were perfect. Tons of extra blankets and towels. To keep sandy areas clean in house there were brooms and vacuums. Everyone on the beach in nearby homes were nice. Extremely peaceful and the extra sunroom was the best. The temperature was perfect in house. Games and books galore. We saw dolphins and some sand sharks way out. There is a hot tub that looked cleaned and was warm. The bathrooms were well stocked and nicely updated. There’s a small store up the road to get some essentials and ice cream. The town of Milton was quaint and the easiest for grocery shopping. Other beach areas had tons of restaurants and oh my the Tanger Outlets were perfect for tons of shopping deals. Would definitely come back again! Hosts are very sweet, prompt and extremely helpful!

    The 11 of us (3 couples, 5 kids) eagerly returned for our second stay at this beautiful, beachfront house. It has everything you need — lots of relaxing areas, comfy beds, a well-equipped kitchen (yes, real knives!), and everything for the beach, from toys to pretty towels. We enjoyed paddling in the sea kayak and floating on boogie boards with the kids. From the front windows we saw a fox and her kits, a turtle laying eggs and lots of birds. One night we were able to enjoy a fire on the beach. For a rainy day activity, we enjoyed the Quick Sip Tour at Dogfish Head Brewery in nearby Milton and also took the kids to Rehoboth for a few hours. The busy beaches aren’t for us. Broadkill’s serenity and natural beauty are gems to us all. We hope to return!

    This home is beautiful. Incredible views from all levels. It was clean and well stocked with everything you could need to feel at home. Plenty of beach toys and chairs for everyone. The kitchen was a delight with all a chef could desire. The owners Tess & Andy were wonderful and highly communicative. Lots of TLC put into this home. We would highly recommend.

    Our long weekend in this beautiful home was absolutely amazing. My wife, adult children, grandkids and I had one of our best vacations ever. The house was spacious and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was well supplied with appliances, cookware, utensils, plates, etc. In addition, we had plenty of beach paraphernalia including chairs, kayaks, toys, and wood for a bonfire. The ocean was literally in our back yard. My 4 year old grandson could not get enough of the beach where he and I would play for hours. Plus, each room of the house had a great view of the water. Our hosts, Tess and Andy Wald, were committed to ensuring we had a pleasurable stay in Broadkill. Tess in particular was very responsive to our needs - even months before our arrival - and urged us to ask her questions. When I inquired about something for our grandson she ensured Amazon delivered it to the house within 48 hours. Now that's above and beyond in my book. We created many wonderful memories during this vacation. Thanks Tess and Andy for a wonderful stay.

    This was our second stay at Tess's home and was equal to our first. The house is outstanding. Amazing views from multiple locations inside and out. A comfortable and easy place to feel at home and lots of room for our extended family to spread out or gather together. Clean and well stocked. The beach is private, easy to access, and perfect for a family with young children. Tess is a terrific host. Immediately responsive to our inquiries.
