About this property

Waterfront Beach House in 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. Two bedrooms - one queen bed and one twin bunk bed. There is also a queen air mattress for extra sleeping space, since we no longer have a sleeper sofa. 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.

This was our third year in a row staying at this beach house. We always love it and so does our son! Broadkill Beach is great if you are looking for a quiet beach, and it's an easy drive to go do other things. Thanks for another great stay!

Broadkill Beach

This was the best VRBO I have stayed at. Linda was so great to deal with and was always available to answer any of our concerns. The house was the perfect location with an amazing deck to enjoy the view of the ocean. It was stocked with everything you could possibly need and more. Fires on the beach just made the whole trip complete. Would highly recommend this beautiful beach house.

Beautiful spot for a quiet family getaway

Everything about this property is fantastic! It was super clean, and the owners were easy to communicate with. We took advantage of the many amenities of the place - my husband and I used the two person kayak and we went surf fishing two of the nights. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, and super friendly. It is close to so many great things- on our short trip we went to the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge (and saw a bald eagle!), the Lewes Farmers market, a few antique stores, Cape Henlopen State Park (including nature center, Fort Miles, and walking the fishing pier) and grabbed ice cream in Milton. We plan on making this an annual trip!

A Tranquil Escape to Broadkill Beach

We fell in love with our stay in Broadkill Beach. The home welcomed us with warmth and charm—thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed for a perfect escape. The space radiated a peaceful energy that stayed with us long after we left. Our hosts were kind, attentive, and gracious, adding to the comfort of it all.A beautiful place, a beautiful feeling. Thank you, truly.

Great place to stay

This one one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed at. The kids room was equipped with toys a little play kitchen that my youngest enjoyed every day. You can tell that every detail was carefully thought out - there was a small gift for each of my kids (chalk and other small toys) and then a chocolate for my husband and I in our room. It really was the sweetest! I highly recommend staying here. The beach was just up the hill. It is a bay beach, which is great if you have littles. Sadly it was a bit overtaken by horseshoe crabs when we were there, which scared my youngest, so we didn't get to spend too much time there, but again, the hosts supplied so many beach toys and blankets that you do not have to worry. You are far away from town to feel like you are getting a break from everything, but close enough that you don't feel isolated. If you are looking for a quiet family getaway - this is the place.

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!

Excellent home! Very spacious and clean. Short walk out to your own private section of beach. Linda was very responsive to any communication during our stay. Even had a chocolate on the pillows and presents at check in, which was such a personal touch. Will definitely stay again.

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.
