A gem of a beach house!

We were so delighted with our stay in this sweet little beach cottage. We stayed with our three adult children and their spouses and one small dog. There was plenty of room for all of us. The location was perfect! Right on a lovely quiet bay beach. But a short drive away from the ocean beaches for a play in the waves. It was a nice walk up to the adorable Broadkill Store, which we frequented for their delicious ice cream! We very much enjoyed the large screened in deck which easily accomodated all 8 of us for dinners and games in the evenings. We also enjoyed a few short day trips to the Futuro House and the Deleware Botanical Gardens. We did not need to contact the owners during our stay, but I would love to meet them sometime. All in all it was the perfect summer getaway. I would highly recommend this beach house for a delightful summer vacation.

Wonderful Broadkill home!

We had a wonderful time in Broadkill this year. The home was perfect for our family! It was extremely clean. The outdoor shower and multiple hoses around the property are perfect for getting cleaned off after a day at the beach. Todd was very responsive to our questions prior to and during our stay. We hope to be back again!

Lovely Respite at Broadkill Beach

Our two couples and a lab enjoyed a beautiful Spring weekend beachside. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped, the owner Todd quite accommodating. We saw dolphins and enjoyed exquisite sunsets from the deck. We saw few people on the beach and enjoyed long walks. We enjoyed ourselves immensely!

Happy Place

We spent a long weekend at the Lawsons' lovingly maintained beachfront cottage. Everything was clean, comfortable, and in very good working order. The new bathroom and new decking made the place feel sold cared for. I loved the enclosed porch with a giant table overlooking the beach, and of course loved having the dog-friendly beach just a few steps away. There were only two of us (plus T-Bone!), but I could see the cottage being a nice space for 4-5 guests. Todd the owner was friendly and responsive. Would totally rent again!

The Lawson property reminded us of beach cottages from our childhoods, in a good way. It is charming and cozy while having all the comforts of home. The beach was easily accessible and we had a great time.

Great beach cottage- so peaceful!

Fantastic beach front cottage, facing the bay. Great views of sunrise, screened in porch, stocked kitchen, wonderful outdoor shower & lots of space. 3 bedrooms on first floor and six beds on 2nd floor (which we didn’t use, but would be perfect for kids/teens). Definitely will return!

Location was great right on beach

The trip was very enjoyable with the family for a wedding. House was great the only thing was we wished they supplied bed sheets since we are coming from out of state so had to pack those and towels so just be prepared to bring. Other than that it was a wonderful stay at the property and would do again. Todd did get back when asked questions. Lots of space for many families to enjoy all together. Recommend renting!! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

The listing was just like the listing was represented online. The cottage was clean and the furniture was comfortable. The screened in porch was very nice to sit and listen to the waves. The cottage is steps from the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by The Lawsons

This is a family owned cottage that we stay in when we do not rent it during the season. The cottage is "well loved" and great for families looking to chill out at the beach, read a book, or enjoy appetizers on the porch. The cottage is not huge, perfect size for a family of 6-8 people. It has one bathroom so that is always a pinch point. But you can't beat the access...we are right at the edge of the dune. 30 seconds and you're at the water's edge.
