nice little house with a great view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent an October week in this house - luckily, the weather was gorgeous and we were able to enjoy the beachfront view to the fullest. Very nice outdoor firepit; good kitchen and comfortable main space. All of the bedrooms are a little tight, but there are 3 bathrooms and the house accepts pets, so we were happy. Our only complaint was that we could not figure out the Roku TV system, so we were limited in what we could watch. But that was a minor inconvenience.

Amazing Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the beach house bungalow in Broadkill Beach, Delaware. The location was amazing, right on the beach with a stunning view of the bay. We enjoyed watching the boats sail by all day from the comfort of our huge deck. The outdoor space was also fantastic, with an outdoor shower, a fire pit, and plenty of seating. It was perfect for our young family and our dog, who loved running on the sand. The beach was quiet and peaceful, and the water was calm and shallow, ideal for our infant to splash around. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

In adequate air circulation and safety issues

Air conditioning is inconsistent throughout the house, because there are no registers in any of the bedrooms or on the first floor. The house design depends on cold air from the main floor, (second floor) to cool the house. There is direction to clean the lint filter on the dryer that is clearly visible, but that has not been happening, and the cleaning service must not check it. There was so much lint in the dryer when I started to use it, that it was difficult to remove the screen from the dryer. This is an issue that could create a fire hazard and should be addressed. The transition area at the bottom of the stairway from the first floor to the second floor is both uneven and unmarked as such. We had people tripping there throughout our stay. The situation could be mitigated with either varying paint colors to distinguish the change in elevation, or at a minimum signage to alert, anyone unfamiliar with the area

Good location, house just ok

The location of this house right on the beach made up for some of the house’s shortcomings. Bedrooms are small, very little room to move around. Bathroom Showers are low so not the best for our 6 ft+ sons. However the outside shower was perfect so the guys showered there. Great deck across back of house with a very nice grill. We were disappointed we couldn’t sit around fire pit in yard because the weeds were grown over the chairs.

Beach

It was a great place to stay for 8 of us on a long weekend( kids baseball tournament nearby) Only criticism is the description should say that there is plenty of hand soap in bathrooms,dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels and toilet paper , Saran, aluminum foil and ziplock bags were stocked too ( would have saved some space in my car had I know that stuff was already provided). Loved the fire pit. Overall was as advertised, did not disappoint!

Older Broadkill Cottage

Nice stay at one of the remaining older buildings at Broadkill Beach. Cottage was nicely updated and had great beachfront, bayfront location. We had our lab with us and he enjoyed his time on the beach! Hose outside allowed us to clean him off with ease.

Quiet beach getaway

We had an enjoyable stay at this property. Broadkill Beach is very quiet and is not crowded compared to Rehobeth and other nearby beaches. And, critically important for us, the beach is also dog-friendly. The water was calm and good for swimming. The house was comfortable; we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck in the evening and used the fire pit to build a fire one night. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies. There is a laundry room in the basement. There were also beach chairs, games, and a hose and shower outside for washing sand off your feet. The house is rightly listed as a three rather than four bedroom. Although there is a fourth bedroom on the ground level, it felt dark/stuffy and was connected to the laundry room. We gave the house four stars instead of five for a couple of reasons. First, the info we got from the rental company said we needed to bring our own paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, dish soap, etc. It made packing very cumbersome, particularly since we also needed to bring our own linens. We paid a ton for the house and would have expected some of those basics to be included for the price. As it turned out, some of those supplies were at the house. We would have appreciated some clear and accurate instructions on that front. The showers were also very small stall showers. It was fine a not a big deal for a week, but one of those details makes the property four rather than five stars at this price point. There were also no shades on the windows in two of the bedrooms (the ones with the queen beds), so it got bright early. All in all, we had a solid stay and especially appreciated the excellent beachfront location.

Small house in beautiful bay beach location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is situated on Broadkill Beach which is a lovely location on the bay if you don't want to be in a crowded beach area. The closeness of the Broadkill store is convenient especially since the realtor called a few days into the trip to let us know we could not drink the water. The house is small and the bedrooms are quite cramped with almost no space to put suitcases for out of town travelers. The beds, especially downstairs and bunk room, were not comfortable. The air conditioning did not extend to the downstairs bedroom or bunk room. The upstairs living room and kitchen were the nicest part of the house and provided comfortable couch space for lounging. The outdoor deck, with table and chairs, worked well for a gathering of friends, but there is no umbrella if it gets too sunny. Overall, it is a cute, dog-friendly house with nice outdoor features and close proximity to the bay beach. The backyard area and fire pit are key features. It is about a 20-25 drive to Lewes and Cape Henlopen State Park. The roof leaked during a storm and the owner apologetically showed up to get an estimate from the roofer. Unfortunately, roofers showed up several times during our stay to start fixing the roof, which we found inappropriate and disruptive. The rental cost was way overpriced for what the house offered and I would not choose to stay here again. I would not recommend this house for a group or family larger than 4. The realtors were helpful and responsive with good communication; I would use this realty company again.

some good some not so good

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the location was perfect! we liked the quiet beaches. the house was adorable, but . . .-there were some beer cans and cigarette butts out in the yard area.-the baths and bedrooms were not very clean -the baths and bedrooms were very small, but that was okay.-the ceiling leaked during a rainstorm, disrupting our "relaxation" time. We did not come here to worry about a leaking roof.-there wasnt any kind of umbrella on the deck and the sun was scorching hot, so we did not really get to enjoy the deck looking over the beach during the day-there were not any comfortable lounge chairs and the chairs that were there had old dirty cusions on them.-the first floor was inundated inundated with the strong smell of moldOverall our stay was okay.-
