About this property

Beach Waterfront House Broadkill Beach - Secluded Retreat!

Vacation in peace and quiet on a beach so empty it's as if it were your own. If you love nature and the feel of being away from it all, Broadkill Beach is the right place for you. Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge runs all along the small unincorporated community of Broadkill. However, if you need them, a grocery store, several restaurants, Dogfish Head Brewery (free tours and tastings), the Milton Library (there's a park behind it, right on the Broadkill River, with new playground equipment) and the restored 105+-year-old Milton Theater (featuring live theater, musical and comedy acts and movies), Puttin' on the Ritz beauty salon, and McDonald's, are all located in the quaint historic town of Milton and only a 15 minute drive away. Within 20 to 30 minutes (not including traffic, which can be rough in summer - which is why we like Milton!) there are plenty more restaurants, outlet shopping, a movie theater, Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk with rides for kids of all ages, arcades, fries, candy, popcorn, and a vibrant night life, Lewes Beach, and Cape Henlopen State park. Our two bedroom, one and a half bath home is recently remodeled and upgraded. It is directly bayfront, just steps down the wooden path (so you don't get those sand burrs in your feet) and over the dune to the beach! Cute, cozy bungalow with all the comforts of home and necessary appliances, too. Features a large wraparound deck and a ground level outdoor shower. No need to bring your own towels (bath or beach), sheets, blankets or pillowcases - we supply those! There are binoculars and a telescope for watching dolphins, planets, birds, ships on the bay and more. The house is on pilings, so main living area is up one flight of stairs. Part of the lower level has been enclosed and finished and includes two rooms, accessible from the outside, one with laundry facilities and a half bath, the other is currently used for storage of many of the fun extras like beach chairs, sand toys, fishing poles, etc. Easy check in, no worries here. Host is available 24/7 by email or cell phone, although we would prefer you reserve the 2 AM phone calls for emergencies only, please : ) Let us know before you arrive if you have any special requests and we will do our best to accommodate.

A great place to relax and unplug!

My husband and I needed a few days away after a hectic and crazy summer. The house is on the bay side. The backyard is mainly a sand dune with a path right to the water. Our first morning there we watched a beautiful sunrise from the deck while having coffee. The check in with Linda went very smoothly. I only had to reach out once because we couldn't figure out the cable TV and she answered immediately. The amenities provided were fantastic. If I had to say anything negative it would be that there isn't a TV in the master bedroom.

Quiet, beach front retreat!

This is all about location, location, location. Literally, just steps from the beach. Broadkill Beach may be on the open bay, but it feels more like a calm ocean setting. The few people and doggie companions we met on the beach, were friendly and respectful of our privacy. Long, quiet afternoons, just us and the crabs. Read up on horseshoe crabs for details. The house is spotless, and easy to enjoy, with a deck, outdoor grill, laundry facilities, all the kitchen gadgets you'll need, etc. Bring enough groceries and stay for the week! Our host was very welcoming, and available for any suggestions and/or questions.

Lovely cosy beach house!

Lovely beach house, short private walk to Broadkill Beach which was empty apart from walkers. Beach is a natural beach so if you are looking for groomed sand you’ll need to go to Rehoboth or Lewes. We loved walking the beach each day - saving horseshoe crabs and watching the wildlife. The beach house is well equipped, comfy and well placed in a quiet area (we were there in Sept). The hosts are generous, attentive and kind. It’s a wonderful place if you want a peaceful retreat after a busy trip as we had! Thank you Linda and Lance for a fab stay.

Exploring Delaware's Beaches

The Broadkill Beach House is exactly as described in the thumb nail on the VRBO website.....a Secluded Retreat....and much more! We found a very comfortable, open and airy house raised up on pilings with a terrific wrap around deck, overlooking the beach and water. We saw a beautiful sunrise on our first morning! The house included a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and plenty of extras e.g. beach chairs and toys for kids and a kayak. A washer and dryer were also available, although we didn't use them during our 4 night stay. Best of all, our hosts, Linda and Lance M., were very responsive to our questions through texts and telephone conversations. They provided recommendations for area restaurants, and various attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the Delaware beaches, and look forward to returning in the near future.

Perfect beach week!

Linda is an amazing host and gave wonderful recommendations. She was also very flexible. The house is super kid friendly with toys and games and Linda even left goodies for the kids (and adults!). Everything you need is provided, so we didn’t have to bring beach towels, chairs, linens or boogie boards. The private beach is well worth the stay. The only recommendation we would have is to update some of the furniture, but it was not a problem for us at all. Thank you Linda!

Lovely visit to Broadkill Beach

Our family of four had a lovely time at Broadkill beach. Linda was kind enough to let us reschedule our stay to June from September when a huge storm popped up. The house was fully stocked and Linda left a little gift for my boys. She gave us full access to toys, fishing poles, beach towels, etc. which made it so much fun. The only feedback we have was to possibly add darker shades to the kids room since it’s so bright. Amazing visit and we will be back!!

This house is great and we love coming to Broadkill Beach (second time at this house). Our toddler really likes the house and we do too. It has everything we need and makes our stay easy. The beach is super quiet, just how we like it. We hope to be back next year!

Return visit

For a couple or small family, the cottage and beach are ideal. If you want a groomed beach, where you need to run out in the morning to reserve space for the day for your canopy, go elsewhere. Here, you will share the beach with a few neighbors and their dogs. This is a repeat visit and hope to make it an annual trek before the busy season. The owners supply everything you need: just bring your clothes and whatever food you’ll eat. We feel like we belong here and this is our house.

Sunrise without leaving the house - spectacular!

Beautiful little home on a beach where its very private and quiet. I was the only known soul on the beach at night and in the morning. Great place to walk for shells and the like, or catch the sunrise. Rescued some sea cucumbers and tossed them back in the bay. Lots of bird and wildlife activity too. Perfect little space for my mom, sister and I. Enjoyed the accommodations, hope to return in warmer weather.

A Quiet Escape from the Office

Very very quiet spot (at least this time of year), hardly saw anyone else on the beach! Water is clean, beach was soft and clean - easy to walk on (once past the burrs and other dune plants) :). Appreciate the wooden pathway! Beach does not seem to have been too badly damaged by recent storms. Many crabs to amuse you on your walk thru the dune. Easy and convenient parking, nice view from the deck and kitchen - loved the adirondack chairs and binoculars. Our 5 yr old son was excited to watch the big ships go by every day. House had every feature we could ask for and then some - special little gifts and touches - very thoughtful - felt welcome :). Would definitely come back again in the off season for a longer stay to laze in the sun and wind and pretend I own the whole beach....thanks for a nice trip! Recommended.

Quiet Beach Getaway

This was our third stay at Linda’s house. It is so well supplied, clean and located steps from the beach. At this time of year the beach was mostly deserted; perfect for sitting in one of the house’s beach chairs and reading a book. Linda is an excellent host. She offered a late check out which was wonderful when packing up after 5 days. The Broadkill Beach location is perfect for day trips down to Lewes or Ocean City. Thanks, Linda, for another great stay!

A Beautiful Retreat

The beach house was very nice and super clean. We loved the location right by the sand and water. It was fun to sit on the deck at night and do stargazing, look at the moon, and listen to the waves. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. We weren't far away from restaurants in Milton that we enjoyed as well. The host was hospitable and communicated by text with us. Due to the scheduling of other reservations, we were offered a later check out time and enjoyed a couple more hours of sun and sand before we left. This was a birthday trip and the host brought a card, flowers , and a few birthday balloons to the house!!! How kind and thoughtful. We'll certainly consider returning in the future.

Perfect Location for Low-Key Vacation

My husband and I were looking for a quiet place for a low-key vacation - and we found it! Although there are houses on either side, when we were there in mid-September it felt like a private get away. We often had the beach almost to ourselves. The deck provides a lovely view of the backyard and the bay over the dunes. The house was very clean and well appointed. We cook a lot of our meals while on vacation, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Linda - the owner - was friendly, responsive, and very easy to communicate with. The location - with direct access to the bay/beach and proximity to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and Cape Henlopen State Park - makes it a must visit for a peaceful vacation with lots of nature and wildlife.

About the host

Hosted by Lance & Linda Mueller

Host profile image
We moved our growing family to Delaware from North Jersey around 30 years ago to get away from the "Rat Race". We bought 11 acres in Milton and built a house and raised our kids in this quiet country setting. Sussex County, however, has grown and gotten busier and louder. So we bought a house in Broadkill for even more solitude. We love "Slower, Lower" Delaware, and in our future retirement, hope to enjoy our second home in an even slower paced life. We believe that being at the beach, especially one as quiet and uncrowded as Broadkill Beach, does the soul good. While we are still busy running our business and trying to become empty nesters, we want to share our beach home with vacationers and be great hosts to our renters.
