This is a wonderful, well-stocked, well-kept cottage on a quiet waterfront block of Broadkill Beach within walking distance to the Broadkill Beach store. The best amenity is the guest cottage, great for guests. Nannette is a first class host who is easy to get in touch with and responds quickly to any questions. This is our second time at this property and we look forward to staying there again.

We have stayed at this location in the past and like that it's close to the beach, the cleanliness and the kitchen is very well equipped with everything we needed. There were also beach chairs, umbrellas and games. Everything we needed! We also like that the suite is ideal for the grandparents to stay and the outside shower. Nanette was quick to reply to questions.

We love this little cottage. We’ve been coming down with the kids the past two years. The house is adorable. The beach is steps away, clean, not crowded, Rehoboth is an easy drive for activities and boardwalk time and the “guest cottage” gives us a perfect, private retreat at the end of the day.

Great location right by the beach

Chose this location because the beach is dog friendly (off-leash). Owner made sure the check-in process was smooth. We had a great time exploring the area.

Pleasant cottage within minutes to the beach. Lots of thoughtful amenities and the house was well maintained and clean. The smaller unit behind the main one is a nice option for a larger party.

Small, cozy beach cottage. Only a few steps to the beach. The cottage has a fun beach vibe. Kitchen well-stocked. Beds comfy. There is a separate extra suite in the back that we didn’t use, but would be nice if traveling with a larger group. Would definitely stay here again.

Memorial Day Weekend

The cottage is amazing and this was our 2nd stay, which was just as good as the first. You are literally steps from the beach in a relaxing/secluded area. The cottage has everything you could want and the owners go above and beyond to make sure you have a fantastic time. We are already planning our next trip back.

Adorable & Clean

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The quest cottage was perfect for our son & daughter-in-law with a young baby. Quick easy walk to the dog friendly beach. Very clean and lots of little things that made the vacay enjoyable - games for rainy day, beach chairs, bikes, etc.

Great house - Clean, cozy & comfortable

This is a.great house steps from the beach. Very clean, comfortable beds, nice neighborhood. Loved having places to put our stuff (dressers, wall hooks, closets). We enjoyed sitting in the sun room and spending time together in the living room.
