About this property

Work & Play at Newly Built Beachfront Home.<br>Beach Views everywhere & Peleton!

There's nothing so pleasing as stepping out of your door onto the sand and into the shimmering waves. You can walk along our pristine, pet friendly, crescent beach for miles in either direction and hardly see anyone. You can watch the dolphins from the deck or your bedroom, or perhaps kayak with them! Enjoy great views & ample work and play spaces, as well as off season pricing. Prices quoted are for four guests. Adjust accordingly based on size of group.

Be among the first to stay in our newly constructed, waterfront, 4 bedroom , 3 bathroom Sandcastle. Enjoy our expansive deck, two fireplaces, multiple work areas with solid internet and all of the amenities you need for a great time at the beach! A comfy Queen bed in every bedroom with at least 2 pillows per guest, cozy blankets ( bring or rent your sheets- 4Queen, 3Twin, towels, beach towels and toiletries) , triple twin bunks with Queen in bunkroom. Well appointed kitchen with dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, pans, toaster, 12 cup drip coffeemaker, waffle iron , blender, panini press, & Crockpot for easy meals that please. The Food Lion in Milton is just 5 minutes west across hwy 1 and that same plaza has a liquor store, drugstore, nail place & takeout

Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, 4 adult bikes and a double kayak for your use included as well! Too much sun? Too warm? Briefly rainy? ( rains tend to pass quickly by the water) We created a beachy area under the house where you can read with your toes in the sand, have drinks and conversation or play a spirited game of ping pong!

If there is no breeze it can get briefly buggy. That’s when opening the large sliding glass doors to enjoy the screened great room for reading or games & puzzles from our well stocked closet.

Golf at the rookery, Get your fishing license online and surf fish or just take in the views and relax. Packing is easy. Just layer comfy & casual down to your swim suit. We have a washer dryer for your use.

There is so much and so little to do, depending how you feel! Great memories happen here!

Beautiful New Home on the ocean, private beach

I have never stayed in a home so close to the ocean, and this is why I selected this home to rent for our vacation. The home was absolutely beautiful and contemporary. It was completely stocked with everything we needed. Every morning I would get up and walk down a short trail to take my morning walk on the beach, it was extremely beautiful and relaxing, a perfect way to decompress. For fun We went to Rehoboth beach for lunch and explored all of the shops on the boardwalk and had fun exploring Lewes. We would highly recommend.

Our family beach trip

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at your home. The beach and sound were so tranquil. We'd love to return to Broadkill Beach. Pros: Beautiful house, beach, and quiet area. Cons: - storage closets are cluttered -. dusty ceiling fans and air filters - kitchen knives are not sharp. -. Advertised 4 bikes- 2 actually function - Paddleboard is missing paddle - coffee pot needs replaced - wifi is spotty during the day but works fine in evening Thank you again and we may consider renting your place again but feel there's a lack to attention to detail to this house.

Unpleasant Beach

House is clean and beautiful views. However, stepping outside is a different experience. Beach was full of rotting , maggot-filled horseshoe crabs, which caused a stink. Tried to relax on beach but we were constantly bit by flies-even with bug spray. Swimming resulted in jellyfish stings. Would not recommend this place if you have kids who like to swim, or if you like to relax on the beach all day.

Perfect place

My husband and I just returned from our stay. The house was so much nicer than I expected. It was finished beautifully. The views from most rooms in the house were amazing. There is nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing the sunrise over the ocean right out the window without having to get out of bed. Easy access to the beach, which had very few people. So it was nice and private. Dogs are allowed on the beach, and that was great for our dog who loves the water. Conveniently, there was a hose that we could use to wash ths salt and sand off later. There is not a fenced in yard, but by blocking the stairway from the deck, there was plenty of room if you wanted to keep your dog outside to dry off before going inside, Bed and all other furnishings were comfortable. Nice outdoor furniture for hanging out on the deck watching the ocean and the osprey catch fish. The first day we were there, the wind was out of the west, which caused the flies to blow onto the beach. But after that, when the wind shifted, there was no issue. But I would recommend bringing a flyswatter, just in case. We were very happy with our stay.

Clean, roomy, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen. Great communication with house manager. Easy to find key and get in. Good controls for AC, fans, lights. A few small housekeeping things - One stove burner is malfunctioning. Master bath didn't have a trash can. Blender doesn't work. Rugs inside doors to catch sand would be helpful - let renters know to bring them.

Good Stay but Beware the Flies and Jellies

Our first time to the area and we all had a good stay with my 4 kids (27, 17, 8, 8) and daughter-in-law. The younger kids loved the easy beach access, the abundance of provided beach toys, and the cool bunk beds. The adults appreciated the view from the rear facing bedrooms, beach chairs, and the many bikes to choose from. The only real downside were the horseflies and jellyfish which on a muggy, calm day were overwhelming. On arrival in the afternoon we went pretty much straight out to the beach with my twin 8 year olds. Within 15 minutes in the water my son was stung on the wrist by a floating jellyfish. The small jellies washed up on shore should have been a clue. My son didn't want to leave the beach and he pushed through some intense pain and tears. We all stayed out of the water from that point and began to dig in the sand. Within minutes we had all endured horse fly bites and spent a lot of our energy trying to slap them away. We gave up in about another 15 minutes and multiple bites. I had 7 welts and my kids had 5 painful bites between them. That experience almost had us give up in Broadkill beach altogether and we drove to either Rehoboth or Lewes for most days. We did try again on a cloudy windy day and had a much better experience on the beach in our backyard. We never saw another jelly so maybe it was a fluke. I relate this story because I think the level of "ruin the day" capability the biting flies have on this beach is downplayed some.

Great friends and family vacay

The house is almost as beautiful as the views. The amount of room was perfect for our group. There were stinging jellyfish in the water which was kind of a downer. My daughter was stung multiple times but the beach was awesome and peaceful. We brought two small dogs with us and it was perfect for them as well. The only inconveniences were the wifi constantly cutting out and the house key situation

Our stay was terrific and the house was great. I just have a few repairs suggestions — most of the bikes are in need of repair, the oar to the paddle board was broke and the shades in the kitchen and living room were not working. Other than the suggestions, it was awesome. John and Deanna Voss

Relaxation at Broadkill Beach

Beautiful home with amazing views of the bay especially from two of the bedrooms. The high ceilings made the house feel spacious. Broadkill Beach is always so relaxing. Many of the beach accesses were washed out but the beach access from this house was intact. We were able to walk several miles at a time and only see a few people. We truly enjoyed our stay here.

Beautiful home

The house was beautiful. It had everything we needed to have a great stay. We saw dolphins and a lot of wild life. Ships and barges were in the distance the entire week. We went to Dog fish head brewery which was quite impressive. We went in April, our dog was able to come he could be on the beach with us, and that contributed to making the stay great. The bay makes for less rough water, however the water was very murky. Great place!

Off-season Joy

We were looking to find a quiet place on the Delaware shore to decompress after having recent retired. This home was the answer! Lovely home, comfortably furnished, well-equipped kitchen. We walked on the beautiful beach everyday and enjoyed blissful privacy. The owner was highly responsive to our needs. Just one thing to know. Not a problem for us at all, but because the homes along the shore are necessarily elevated, there are many steps to climb to enter the living space. Individuals with mobility challenges could find access daunting. Overall, a delightful stay in a delightful setting. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Pat Peoples

Host profile image
We love waking up to the thrum of the waves. As soon as our youngest graduates we are going to get very serious about spending most every weekend there, but until then we have commitments most weekends and can't get there. When we can't be there, we love to share it, and enjoy it vicariously through you!

Why they chose this property

Sandcastle, our dream beach house, sits squarely on the sand with great water views. We love the outdoor living made possible by the large deck . Have your morning coffee on the deck and look for dolphins. Run with your dog on our pristine, pet friendly beach. Forgot your towel? Take a few steps back in and grab it! Rainy day and winter day views of the sand and water are spectacular too. Snow geese and harbor seals frequent our beach in the winter.

What makes this property unique

You will love the proximity to surf and sand, grilling on the great deck, having access to beach equipment, toys, double kayak, and bikes for exploring this quaint, natural beach town and the nearby Primehook Nature Preserve! It’s like stepping into a charming past. You’ve found a well kept secret here!!
