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.

Beach getaway

We enjoyed staying here. It was nice that there were plenty of beach items to use that we didn’t have to pack ourselves. Loved staying on the water and enjoyed using the kayaks.

Another great stay at Broadkill Beach!

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!

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.

A great home and a great location. The amount of items they had available for us to use from chairs to shovels to umbrellas, Made the stay incredibly enjoyable I didn't even have to go out and get a bunch of spices to cook with. Definitely planning on returning.

A gem of a beach house

This home is delightfully situated in a low-key area on Broadkill Beach. It was a fantastic location for me and my family. Linda is looking very to rent from and so very thoughtful in her preparation of the property. I highly recommend this lovely rental.

Beautiful early spring stay!

We’d never been to Broadkill, but it was perfect for a relaxing retreat! The night skies were clear and beautiful, the sunsets & moonrise & beach were lovely. The home was just right for me and my 2 teens. Lots of amenities, linens and towels provided, comfy and clean home and porch. Just right for our spring break.

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!

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.
