About this property

Prime Hook Retreat - Amazing View of the Refuge - Beach Access Across the Street

Newly available in 2023. See our other Prime Hook property at I.D.#1460435.

Prime Hook Retreat is a spacious four bedroom two bathroom house that sits directly on the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge. The house is open and bright with views of the Refuge from the second story living room, balcony, and all four bedrooms. From the front of the house, enjoy the view of the Delaware Bay in the fully enclosed sun room.

This house has plenty of space to spread out! The large sunroom has comfortable couches to enjoy the view of the bay or an afternoon nap. A game table with an assortment of board games and puzzles for fun with family or friends. Or just sit back in one of the chairs and read a good book. The living room has a beautiful view of the marsh with plenty of seating to socialize or watch a movie. Seat the whole family at the large dining table for dinner or games. Or if you like, enjoy that meal on the front patio under the sunroom.

A laundry and full bathroom are on the ground level along with an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach.

Located in the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge, this quiet community is away from the hustle and bustle of crowds and traffic. Enjoy the wildlife, star filled night sky, and wide open sandy beach.

Get the best of all that Prime Hook Has to offer from this house sitting directly on the wildlife refuge and beach access directly across the street. Watch the sun rise over the bay and set across the marsh.

Only 2 1/2 hours from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC, and 25 - 30 minutes to the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, beautiful ocean front Cape Henlopen state park, and historic Lewes. Outlet shopping, fabulous restaurants, and amusements are all a short drive away.

Sleeps 8 (or more with owner approval) people on two full beds, 1 queen, and two singles. Linens and towels included.

This is a pet friendly house allowing one pet with additional cleaning fee. Additional pets may be allowed with owner approval.

Great House

We stayed here in March 2024. House was very clean, kitchen very good condition and had upscale dishes, etc. Fantastic views! We enjoyed watching the sun rise on the bay, and also watching the sun set over the preserve. Beds and furniture was comfortable. TV easy to use. Instructions from the owner was helpful. It was just 2 of us, but this would be a great place for a family, or larger group. The owners were very helpful, good communication, easy access. Check out was easy. We enjoyed sitting on the bay beach, and easy access to Lewes and Rehoboth.

Family Thanksgiving

Our family has visited Primehook before and this is the best house we have stayed in. With amazing views in every direction, we enjoyed both sunrise and sunset. It was perfect for our family, ages 7 to 70, our group is already talking about our next visit. Everything was as described! The house was well thought out and organized. In general, just a fantastic space. The bedrooms and living areas were comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. When we had any questions or concerns Mike was professional and quick to respond. Thanks again Mike and Laura.

Beautiful and Dog Friendly

Prime Hook is a beautiful place to stay. The sunsets are stunning and the wildlife refuge is peaceful. The beach is unspoiled and dog friendly. Nearby restaurants are dog friendly too. The location of this house is perfect with gorgeous views both of the refuge and the bay, and the beach is a minute away. The house is large, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. So nice to have linens included and beds made. Our family had a great stay.

We had a wonderful week. The location is unbelievable with the marsh behind it, filled with a wide variety of birds and breathtaking sunsets. The kitchen was provisioned with everything we needed (though didn't see a fire extinguisher) without unnecessary clutter and the bedrooms and living areas were usable, comfortable and clean. Having small children with us, we could have used a bathroom with a tub, but were able to make it work. The outdoor shower was a little awkward, with spray coming out in lots of directions, and trying to dodge biting flies. A rough deck edge there resulted in one bloodied toe. The biggest set-back was the mosquitos and biting flies. We expected that being right next to the marsh, but weren't quite prepared for it, especially for the pets. Perhaps a screen door on the ground level would be useful. If you went outside at night, all the bugs attracted to the porch light would come right in. There was some water utility construction in the front yard while we were there but didn't have our water shut off at all and the digger in the front yard was a highlight for the 3 year old in our group. The beach was perfect for wading and swimming without the big waves knocking around the little ones. Thanks for the use of your vacation home. We're looking forward to visiting again.
