About this property

Welcome to Sandy Bottom – Your Coastal Oasis!

Beachfront Bliss: Imagine stepping out of your door and sinking your toes into the soft sands of the Delaware Bay. Sandy Bottom is not just near the beach; it’s right on the beach! Feel the gentle waves lapping at your feet, breathe in the salty sea air, and let the soothing sounds of the bay envelop you. Plus, this is a dog-friendly beach and house!

Nature’s Playground: Nature enthusiasts, rejoice! Explore the nearby sandbars, perfect for leisurely walks or birdwatching. Glide through the calm waters in a kayak, reel in the catch of the day while fishing, and marvel at the ancient horseshoe crabs that call this pristine shoreline home. And when night falls, gaze up at a celestial masterpiece – the STARS – unobstructed by city lights.

Coastal Comfort: Sandy Bottom’s first floor invites you with a sun-kissed kitchen/dining area, a cozy living room boasting oversized bay windows framing breathtaking views, and two serene Queen bedrooms. The convenience of a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo and access to a washer/dryer ensures a stress-free stay. Step outside to a spacious deck, where you can sip your morning coffee or watch the sunset over the water.

Bayfront Elegance: Ascend to the second floor, where bayfront living and dining spaces await. Sip a glass of wine on the covered porch, taking in panoramic views that stretch to the horizon. The large primary king bedroom offers a private escape, complete with an en suite bathroom featuring a refreshing shower. And don’t forget the deck – your front-row seat to the mesmerizing sunset over the wildlife refuge.

Pet-Friendly: We welcome one dog (under 50 lbs.) with a non-refundable $150 pet fee. Remember to keep your furry companion on a leash and clean up after them.

Modern Amenities: Stay comfortable year-round with central air and heating. Stay connected with high-speed internet. Sandy Bottom ensures that your coastal getaway is both relaxing and convenient.

Smart Entertainment: The living room and master bedroom feature a smart TV—stream your favorite shows using your personal accounts (Netflix, Hulu, etc.). Just remember to sign out before you depart.

Don’t forget to indulge in the refreshing outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off sandy toes after a day at the beach

Feel at home! While we provide cozy pillows, comforters, and refreshing hand soaps in the bathrooms, we kindly ask our guests to bring their own sheets, blankets, towels, and personal soap products

Prime Hook Paradise: Nestled in the quiet and private beach community of Prime Hook, Sandy Bottom is a mere 10 minutes from Milton and the renowned Dogfish Head Brewery. Explore charming Lewes within 20 minutes, or venture to lively Rehoboth Beach in just 30 minutes. And yet, despite its proximity to bustling cities, Sandy Bottom feels like a world away – a tranquil haven where time slows down, and memories are made.

Pack your bags, leave the hustle behind, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Prime Hook Beach. Book your stay now!

A perfect retreat

This is the second year we have stayed at this home. We love it! We love the house, the beach and the privacy of the area. My daughter, grandkids and pups join us for a very memorable time. Towns nearby offer a variety of menus if you choose not to cook or just order in and relax on one of the two decks and watch the ocean. Jim and Kris are there if you have any concerns, and can’t wait to go back next year.

Very relaxing and safe

Love the privacy! The first week was with family and the second week was alone. Well needed. The space was perfect. Loved not dealing with the traffic in OC or Rehoboth unless we chose to.

Not great, Not terrible

Great location with a great spot on the beach. That is worth 3 stars. Good camera work in the listing. The stairs and deck need replaced. Both are safety concerns. The inside of the house is a DIY train wreck. House needs to be leveled to start. There were just as many bugs in the house as there were outside. A fly swatter is provided. Water damage on both levels showing itself on the ceilings. Very apparent. Having stayed many places in different parts of the country through the years, I feel we were overcharged for what we received. We forgot to take out the trash cans to the street on Thursday. The blackstone was as clean as it was when we got there. That cover is nasty. We didn’t want our stay interrupted with an exterminator. That place should be sprayed regularly Beautiful sunrises are found here. The upper level deck provides a place to enjoy those and the beach and water in general. We enjoyed our time here despite the home’s issues. We enjoyed our time in Delaware overall but have no interest in returning in the future
