Spacious Home-Steps Away From Quiet Beach-Nature and Wildlife-Pet Friendly!
Spacious single-floor home with a very short walk to quiet bay beach. The back deck and sunroom face west over Primehook National Wildlife Refuge. Stunning sunsets while dining in the air-conditioned sunroom make this area one of the favorite rooms to spend time in. A large open floor plan in the front part of the house offers peeks of Delaware Bay and sunrises offer spectacular views while enjoying a morning coffee. A large main bedroom with an adjoining spacious full bathroom includes a two person tub. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing away the day's salt and sand. Access to the private bay beach is available to renters and is just a short walk away. Dogs are allowed on the beach; however picking up after them and keeping them on a leash are required. The solitude of Primehook is undeniable as are the opportunities to see wildlife and bird watch. The nearby charming and small town of Milton is home to the world-famous Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and numerous stores and restaurants. A short 15-minute drive gets you there.

Exactly what we wanted for a few days escape. We went in early spring and it was lovely - walks on the beach, quiet beauty. House was very relaxing and the location can’t be beat. Easy communication with owners, all went smoothly!
It was a great stay in a small beach community. Super quick walk to the beach and quieter area! Everyone was very friendly and we were able to walk back and forth to the beach easily with our two small children. It was great!
The house had everything we needed for our stay. The only issue was the location, which of course isn't the houses fault wasn't near much as far as good food or things to do. We had to drive to Rehoboth or Lewes to eat anything good or find things to do.
Property was everything that was advertised. The house needs a good deep cleaning to make it present itself better. We didn't use the stove for that reason.
We had a wonderful time and the location is amazing! The house has everything you need to enjoy the beach. The owners, Joe and Christine are so responsive and so helpful. We can’t wait to go back. It was so serene.
The serenity and sounds of nature surround you here! The house is situated steps from the bay beaches and the nature preserve. There were so many beautiful birds, waves, and sunsets. It was restful and relaxing-a perfect place to unwind!
The house is located about 30 minutes from the bustle of Rehoboth so if you want to shop, dine, or wander the boardwalk it is not too far.
This property is absolutely perfect for us and our dog. The fenced yard is without a doubt, the best way to have a stress free vacation with our dog. The house itself is comfortable and efficient. Close to the beach and the neighbourhood is great to walk. Owners are supportive and quick to respond to any issues. We’ll be back!
Perfect location for families with small children. Across street and 2 houses to access to peaceful bay with calm water and clean sand. House was comfy and accommodating with all linens supplied as well as full kitchen. Nice plus was a bottled water system. Nice back deck but was way too hot for eating out thanks to high humidity and temps during our stay. Any question we had was promptly answered. Wouldn’t think twice about returning and hope to do so in not distant future.
We were so impressed not only with the cleanliness of the house but with all the amenities we have typically been required to bring with us at other beach rentals: sheets, towels, beach towels, toilet paper, soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent...all provided! And we were happy to have a toaster oven, which we have found most rental units don't have.
A note to be aware of: the sunroom is only accessible through the primary bedroom, so keep this in mind when planning who in your party will sleep there.
We ended up driving to Lewes for our beach days (and walks), but if you are a fan of Prime Hook, this is a great house to rent!
