About this property

Work & Play at Newly Built Beachfront Home. Beach Views everywhere & Peleton!

There's nothing so pleasing as stepping out of your door onto the sand and into the shimmering waves. You can walk along our pristine, pet friendly, crescent beach for miles in either direction and hardly see anyone. You can watch the dolphins from the deck or your bedroom, or perhaps kayak with them! Enjoy great views & ample work and play spaces, as well as off season pricing. Prices quoted are for four guests. Adjust accordingly based on size of group.

Be among the first to stay in our newly constructed, waterfront, 4 bedroom , 3 bathroom Sandcastle. Enjoy our expansive deck, two fireplaces, multiple work areas with solid internet and all of the amenities you need for a great time at the beach! A comfy Queen bed in every bedroom with at least 2 pillows per guest, cozy blankets ( bring or rent your sheets- 4Queen, 3Twin, towels, beach towels and toiletries) , triple twin bunks with Queen in bunkroom. Well appointed kitchen with dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, pans, toaster, 12 cup drip coffeemaker, waffle iron , blender, panini press, & Crockpot for easy meals that please. The Food Lion in Milton is just 5 minutes west across hwy 1 and that same plaza has a liquor store, drugstore, nail place & takeout

Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, 4 adult bikes and a double kayak for your use included as well! Too much sun? Too warm? Briefly rainy? ( rains tend to pass quickly by the water) We created a beachy area under the house where you can read with your toes in the sand, have drinks and conversation or play a spirited game of ping pong!

If there is no breeze it can get briefly buggy. That’s when opening the large sliding glass doors to enjoy the screened great room for reading or games & puzzles from our well stocked closet.

Golf at the rookery, Get your fishing license online and surf fish or just take in the views and relax. Packing is easy. Just layer comfy & casual down to your swim suit. We have a washer dryer for your use.

There is so much and so little to do, depending how you feel! Great memories happen here!

Relaxation at Broadkill Beach

Beautiful home with amazing views of the bay especially from two of the bedrooms. The high ceilings made the house feel spacious. Broadkill Beach is always so relaxing. Many of the beach accesses were washed out but the beach access from this house was intact. We were able to walk several miles at a time and only see a few people. We truly enjoyed our stay here.

Beautiful home

The house was beautiful. It had everything we needed to have a great stay. We saw dolphins and a lot of wild life. Ships and barges were in the distance the entire week. We went to Dog fish head brewery which was quite impressive. We went in April, our dog was able to come he could be on the beach with us, and that contributed to making the stay great. The bay makes for less rough water, however the water was very murky. Great place!

Off-season Joy

We were looking to find a quiet place on the Delaware shore to decompress after having recent retired. This home was the answer! Lovely home, comfortably furnished, well-equipped kitchen. We walked on the beautiful beach everyday and enjoyed blissful privacy. The owner was highly responsive to our needs. Just one thing to know. Not a problem for us at all, but because the homes along the shore are necessarily elevated, there are many steps to climb to enter the living space. Individuals with mobility challenges could find access daunting. Overall, a delightful stay in a delightful setting. Thank you!

Beautiful New Home on the ocean, private beach

I have never stayed in a home so close to the ocean, and this is why I selected this home to rent for our vacation. The home was absolutely beautiful and contemporary. It was completely stocked with everything we needed. Every morning I would get up and walk down a short trail to take my morning walk on the beach, it was extremely beautiful and relaxing, a perfect way to decompress. For fun We went to Rehoboth beach for lunch and explored all of the shops on the boardwalk and had fun exploring Lewes. We would highly recommend.

Perfect place

My husband and I just returned from our stay. The house was so much nicer than I expected. It was finished beautifully. The views from most rooms in the house were amazing. There is nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing the sunrise over the ocean right out the window without having to get out of bed. Easy access to the beach, which had very few people. So it was nice and private. Dogs are allowed on the beach, and that was great for our dog who loves the water. Conveniently, there was a hose that we could use to wash ths salt and sand off later. There is not a fenced in yard, but by blocking the stairway from the deck, there was plenty of room if you wanted to keep your dog outside to dry off before going inside, Bed and all other furnishings were comfortable. Nice outdoor furniture for hanging out on the deck watching the ocean and the osprey catch fish. The first day we were there, the wind was out of the west, which caused the flies to blow onto the beach. But after that, when the wind shifted, there was no issue. But I would recommend bringing a flyswatter, just in case. We were very happy with our stay.

Peaceful escape!

The pictures here don’t half do this lovely property justice—the beach is quiet in the off-season, perfect for serene walks, beach combing, or stargazing. While we didn’t see any dolphins, we did see numerous sea birds and a few live horseshoe crabs. We were sad the Broadkill Store wasn’t open for the season, but it was worth the walk to see the informative, illustrated posters in the cases outside, explaining some of the things we were seeing on the sand. The views from the house are stunning, expansive enough to feel like you’re the only people around for miles. The house was just a bit chilly with the cold snap this week, but the main floor fireplace is super toasty. We were looking for a quiet place to work/rest for the week, and that’s exactly what we found at Sandcastle during our stay. The house was thoroughly stocked with anything we might need, and Food Lion was close for anything we forgot. Tips for future guests: the sunrise out the water-side windows is spectacular, but the sunsets out the square windows by the stairs are glorious! We didn’t get to try Po’Boys, but we did visit Tequila Real in Milton, and that was really good, as was Tokyo Steakhouse & Sushi in Lewes, only a short drive away. If you’re looking for a heavenly little breather from life’s stressors, you have found the right place—highly recommend! Thanks for a beautiful stay!

Family Friendly Retreat

We loved this property! The pictures don’t do it justice. It was easy to check in and checkout. There was plenty or room and closet/storage space. In the off season it was nice and quiet in the neighborhood. We loved that their were so many things to do. We went for bike rides, played games, toddlers quickly found they toy closet, fire pit on the beach and had they decent cookware which and appliances. Plenty of ceramic, glass, acrylic, and plastic dishes to suit every occasion! Management was very responsive when I had any questions. Please note sound carries very well in this house. If you are a light sleeper with loud talking family like mine this may not be the house for you. The thermostat was also tricky with a lot of occupants. In the winter, check windows because a small draft will quickly cool the house down. The fireplaces warm the living room and main bedroom very well. Plenty of blankets and comfy pillows. We slept well in the comfy beds. Definitely hope to stay again one day!

Beautiful home with beautiful view of ocean and beach

We enjoyed the home. Although we stayed in March, cool and a little dreary, we spent 2 days on beach playing with kids and dog and spent a short day in Rehoboth. Recommend home. Downside, neighbors blasting off fireworks around midnight and other neighbors backyard a bit in shambles.

Incredible Find

We’ve been to the better known Delaware beaches several times, but this was our first time at Broadkill. The Delaware Bay is nothing short of tranquil, and this house is in a perfect, laid-back spot. The view is amazing. The house itself is well appointed with comfortable furnishings and all the necessary amenities. We enjoyed spending a quiet weekend by the fireplace, gazing at the bay.

About the host

Hosted by Pat Peoples

We love waking up to the thrum of the waves. As soon as our youngest graduates we are going to get very serious about spending most every weekend there, but until then we have commitments most weekends and can't get there. When we can't be there, we love to share it, and enjoy it vicariously through you!

Why they chose this property

Sandcastle, our dream beach house, sits squarely on the sand with great water views. We love the outdoor living made possible by the large deck . Have your morning coffee on the deck and look for dolphins. Run with your dog on our pristine, pet friendly beach. Forgot your towel? Take a few steps back in and grab it! Rainy day and winter day views of the sand and water are spectacular too. Snow geese and harbor seals frequent our beach in the winter.

What makes this property unique

You will love the proximity to surf and sand, grilling on the great deck, having access to beach equipment, toys, double kayak, and bikes for exploring this quaint, natural beach town and the nearby Primehook Nature Preserve! It’s like stepping into a charming past. You’ve found a well kept secret here!!
