About this property

We are right on water, Dogs are invited. 7/7 to 7/20/2024 available

The home has all new wood plank flooring installed this year .New bedding installed this year. It is dog friendly.
Special note: Due to Covid 19, we sanitize all hard services to minimize any germs. Broadkill installed a dune with fencing on both side. There are access points every 3-4 properties. We have immediate access at our property eliminating a 200 ft walk before getting to the beach! There is a $30.00 dog fee per night for each dog. The great thing is the beach is semi private where you do not have other visitors parking in front of our home to access the beach.
Enjoy the best month of the year, warm days, cool nights-hear the waves with your windows open! 'JUST PACK YOUR BAGS- WE'VE GOT THE REST!!' We help you in your vacation planning by providing the following items: all kitchen needs including dishwashing supplies, laundry detergent, laundry softener, toilet tissue, paper towels, trashbags, towels, sheets and pillows. We updated our kitchen and updating our primary bath. The home offers a open floor plan and water view is available from every seat in the living area with our 9 ft glass sliding doors. Large stackable washer dryer is included. All three bedrooms are spacious and two bedrooms face the water to enjoy the sounds of the waves at night. We offer 2 flat screen TV with Comcast and wireless high speed internet. There is also a TV in the Master bedroom.. We offer two queen beds, one full size and one single beds. We provide large weber propane grill, outdoor shower and three outdoor seating areas.

Enjoy the 360 degree view from an all-sided wrap around gated porch. Face the beautiful Delaware Bay from one side, and simply turn around to view Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge on the other. Bring your binoculars to enjoy many, many species of migrating birds and various wildlife present in the refuge. Come out at dusk for the gorgeous sunset or later at night to see all the stars in the dark sky. Also visible from the porch are the lights of Cape May, NJ and those of Lewes, DE. Take a few steps to the sandy beach and collect such treasures as seashells, seaglass, sharks teeth and beautiful stones.

Broadkill offers a quiet, relaxing setting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Kick back and read a great book on the private beach without the crowds of the public beaches to disturb you. Dogs are permitted on the beach year around and you can have a bonfire on the beach too! Kids will enjoy the small waves of the Delaware Bay as you sit in the water nearby. Visit the Broadkill Store which offers fishing tackle, an assortment of grocery items, sandwiches and great milkshakes to order, a small gift area, and don't miss the homemade donuts on Sunday!

Just five miles away enjoy the historic ship building town of Milton. Home of Dog Fish Brewery (tours available), casual dining, grocery stores, pharmacy, antiquing and seasonal festivals. Just down the road is Lewes, the first settlement in DE, with a great deal of shops, museums and fine dining. For the kids (and kids at heart alike), try the Rehobeth Beach boardwalk for rides, games and strolling the boardwalk.

Beautiful and Relaxing
The house was spotless and exactly as it appears in the pictures, with everything that you need supplied. But it is all about the beach, which is right outside your back door, beautiful, quiet and dog friendly. And if you want an evening out, Milton is 10 minutes away, charming and has dog friendly restaurants with talented entertainment. I highly recommend this house.

Wonderful location!
My husband and I have now stayed at this property 3-4 times over the last decade, both before and with kids. This trip was woth our 8, 6, 4, and 2 year olds and 2 dogs. The proximity to the beach is a huge plus to the property and the large wrap around deck is great to be able to leave the dogs outside for a bit when the sand starts to get too hot for their paws. The kitchen is well stocked which is important to us as we cook most of our own meals on vacations. The hosts have always been quick to check in and responsive if we need them, but are respectful of our space as well. We will absolutely continue to return!

Peaceful and Quiet
The bay area is quiet, and nature surrounds you on the private beach. You're not far from anything but you do feel like you have escaped to a secret place.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy & John Yost

Host profile image
We have been offering the home for rental for over 15 years with no negative feed back. We live across the street (part time) and perform needed maintenance asap and the home is always very clean. Things do happen, we are there to help remedy any issues.
One thing we do is quickly introduce ourselves to the guests after they are settled in and make sure they have what they need. Our goal is to provide a relaxing vacation away from the over crowded beaches of neighboring towns along the coast. Our oldest daughter loved the marine aspects and went on to receive her PHD as a Marine Parasentologist-her goal was to provide fishing for young people for years to come!

Why they chose this property

It is designed for a couple wanting to get away or a family retreat where the access to the water is virtually steps from the sand and water. We offer three large bedrooms with the master having TV.
We are dog friendly and provide the security of both stairs having locking gates for the wrap around decking (360 degrees) for children and animals. Our kitchen is equiped like your home and provide new appliances including a new flat top stove and 22 cubic foot refrigerator with an ice maker stove.
You can sit on the east deck facing the water to view the sunrise and the west deck to view the sunsets. Traffic is minimal due to South Bayshore Drive being a deadend street lined with vacation and full timers homes'
If you are looking for a multi-story property, this is not for you! One floor living plan offers easy access for seniors but we are on piling so there are steps to get up to the decks.

What makes this property unique

We make your packing easy! We supply the linens, towels and beach towel, needed detergents, foil and plastic wrap to name a few. Our deck wraps around the entire home so you have perfect full view of the water and enjoy the sun rises along with a great view of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, you also get to see the sun set!. Beach chairs are NOT included. We offer a large weber propane grill. There is no additional charges for what we supply.
You are right on the beach and from the deck, you can see the dolphins swim up and down the bay as they feed-wow what a sight. Dogs are permitted on the beach year around but leash laws are in effect.
Private beach, look right or left and you may see 30 people. No one can park and enter the beach unless they are home owners or guests by the home.
Alcoholic beverages are permitted along with bon fires.
