About this property

Cottage on the Beach

Charming beach cottage located right on the water with direct access to beach crossing and endless stunning views of the Delaware Bay. Spacious open floor plan with plenty of sunshine and room to relax. Features full screened in porch with open decks on the front and back of the cottage. Great space to hang out in the evening, listen to the waves and enjoy a cold cocktail.
Convenient location for anyone who loves the beach - this cottage is best enjoyed outdoors. If you love the beach, hanging on the deck, and using the outside shower - this cottage is for you! If you are looking for a new home decorated with Pottery Barn, it is down the street.
Plenty of off-street parking.
New in 2022, central air conditioning added to the entire cottage.
New in 2023, two brand new decks on the front and back and a new outdoor shower.

Wonderful Broadkill home!

We had a wonderful time in Broadkill this year. The home was perfect for our family! It was extremely clean. The outdoor shower and multiple hoses around the property are perfect for getting cleaned off after a day at the beach. Todd was very responsive to our questions prior to and during our stay. We hope to be back again!

Wonderful stay!

We loved this house and our stay! Everything in the listing was accurate, and the house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We loved having breakfast on the screened in porch every morning, being right on the beach, and even saw dolphins one day from the house! We will definitely be back!

Lovely Respite at Broadkill Beach

Our two couples and a lab enjoyed a beautiful Spring weekend beachside. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped, the owner Todd quite accommodating. We saw dolphins and enjoyed exquisite sunsets from the deck. We saw few people on the beach and enjoyed long walks. We enjoyed ourselves immensely!

The Lawson property reminded us of beach cottages from our childhoods, in a good way. It is charming and cozy while having all the comforts of home. The beach was easily accessible and we had a great time.

Great beach cottage- so peaceful!

Fantastic beach front cottage, facing the bay. Great views of sunrise, screened in porch, stocked kitchen, wonderful outdoor shower & lots of space. 3 bedrooms on first floor and six beds on 2nd floor (which we didn’t use, but would be perfect for kids/teens). Definitely will return!

Cute cottage with wonderful views

The listing was just like the listing was represented online. The cottage was clean and the furniture was comfortable. The screened in porch was very nice to sit and listen to the waves. The cottage is steps from the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by The Lawsons

Host profile image
This is a family owned cottage that we stay in when we do not rent it during the season. The cottage is "well loved" and great for families looking to chill out at the beach, read a book, or enjoy appetizers on the porch. The cottage is not huge, perfect size for a family of 6-8 people. It has one bathroom so that is always a pinch point. But you can't beat the access...we are right at the edge of the dune. 30 seconds and you're at the water's edge.
