About this property

Vacation Home, Fantastic Views, Modern, Updated, Pet Friendly

Enjoy the privacy of a gated community, without the gates. Prime Hook is located perfectly behind a wildlife refuge. Not many people know about our oasis on the bay. Close enough to the excitement, if you want it.... And then come back and enjoy a bonfire on the beach.

Our October Beach Getaway

The house is very nice, we liked that it had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms for the 3 of us! The location is very nice, only improvement would be waterfront or a screened deck looking over marsh. Very quiet, great walks, and easy to get to. 5 STARS!

Great place for a low key, winter retreat, away from the New Year crowds. We came for the long New Year weekend. Nice house, easy bay beach access. Easy drive to stores, restaurants, wildlife reserves. And, we saw lots of snow geese!

Wonderful

Loved everything. The property, the owner, and the location was marvelous. The beach was beautiful but the weather was not. Cold and rainy the entire week. I wish I could go back again this summer in hopes of good weather!! Thank you and hope to be able to come again with my golden retriever, Jazzy. She would be in heaven!

Better than pictured and described

The place was clean and the perfect layout for in-laws, kids and hubs and I. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The walk to the beach was so easy, even with all of the kids’ toys. We loved the decks. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The only thing that would have made this place better would have been if the view of the Nature Preserve was more highlighted because the sunsets out that way were amazing! Loved this house, would book again and recommend to others!

Wow, wow, wow!

This property met all our needs and more! It was so clean. It was very well stocked. We are used to packing everything we need just in case and this house had it all. We loved the privacy each family had with separate bathroom spaces and rooms. The kids loved their own little hang out upstairs and we all enjoyed the beautiful decks. We loved the short walk to the beach and the shower. Unfortunately the storms cut our trip short this year but we are looking forward to returning next year!

Great Time in Prime Hook!

We’ve stayed in Prime Hook many times over the years at lots of different rentals and this is now one of our favorites! The location is perfect - very close to the beach entrance. The owners provide everything you need to have a great beach vacation - umbrellas, chairs, beach towels,etc. We almost always had the beach to ourselves and our German Shepherd didn’t want to leave the water. Relaxing on the decks after a day at the beach was very enjoyable. The house has plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen has everything. The owners are great and were super responsive. There is a set of narrow stairs up to the door so you’ll be getting lots of exercise. Can’t wait to go back.

This is the second time we have stayed at Kim and Steve’s home. It was a great time as always. Check in is easy, great communication and instructions from the owners. The home is clean, comfortable, and in a friendly neighborhood. We loved having our dog with us and enjoyed the beautiful beach at both high tide and low tide. My kids loved riding bicycles throughout the neighborhood, finding shells on the sand bars at low tide, chasing the crabs, exchanging books at the shared library, and doing puzzles/games at the house in the evening.

Nice House, Marshy Area

Overall the stay was very pleasant. The beach at the bay was very nice, and super convenient to walk to. If you go to the beach go in the morning when the tide is low, which is much more fun. The inside of the house was very nice and cozy and we had plenty of space for our family of 6. The kitchen is very nice and there were plenty of games and movies for down time. Unfortunately we could not use either of the exterior decks, as the amount of mosquitoes was insane. They would swarm into the house when we opened any doors. The bugs cannot be helped by the Owner, but this was the major drawback. The property is located directly next to a marsh, and when the humidity picked up we could not be outside due to swarms. Other than this, the property is very nice and the Owners were easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The proximity to the bay is ideal, and all of the locals and neighbors were very polite as well. Overall, we would recommend the property as long as you are prepared to deal with the mosquitoes.

Great space by a quiet beach

We were here for a youth field hockey tournament. We thought this was a perfect place--plenty of space for kids to spread out, across the street from the beach, and only 15-20 min or so into Milford for restaurants/food. Easy check-in/out, and clear communication from the hosts, who left a great note and instructions for everything you need inside the house. We're thinking about how we might use this place for a stay with another family--the layout is perfect for 2 adult couples 4 kids in their own upstairs space. It was easy for us to walk our dog on the beach, too. And we saw plenty of dogs being walked down the street, even though there aren't that many house. Bonus--we saw a bald eagle on the roof of the house next door.We would definitely stay here again.

Golf Trip Stay

We used this house for our annual golf trip. The place was great with more than enough space but also was a 30 second walk to the beach when we wanted to stretch our legs. It was less than an hour to Ocean City, MD, but this location was off the beaten path which provided serene marsh views, and a quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Leonard

Host profile image
When we bought the house, it was a small cottage from the 50's. Twenty years ago, we tore down the cottage and built our beautiful, elevated dream beach home. We have had two sons since purchasing the beach house. Our family enjoys coming to the beach year round. The kids can play outside, like I used to be able to do when I was a kid. We have a rescue mixed breed that loves the water and the beach and we take him with us every chance. The beach is hidden and has been a safe haven for us over the years

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because of the privacy and lack of commercial enterprise. We are close enough to everything that Rehoboth, Lewes and Dewey have to offer, but far enough that we can enjoy the serenity of a peaceful day. We like to relax on vacation. Prime Hook is the place for relaxing.

What makes this property unique

. We enjoy, sunning, swimming and walking the sandbar at low tide. Great beach for collecting sea glass and beautiful seashells. It’s awesome.

The First floor has the Kitchen, Dining room and Living room. There are also two bedrooms on this floor, each with a full bath. Both first floor bedrooms have queen size beds . The first deck is on this level. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on this level as well. The second floor has a full bathroom, a family room and the third bedroom. The only way to describe this bedroom is HUGE. There are two full size beds and a trundle twin and still plenty of room to spare. The Family room provides a great place to relax and for the family to spread out. There is also a deck on the second level. On a good day one can see for miles.

In nearby Milton, about 9 miles away, we have a Food Lion, Walgreens, Subway, a Chinese carryout, Irish Eyes, Domino's and one of Our favorites, the Miltonian Restaurant with Greek/Italian and American cuisine.
For more shopping, Lewes and Rehoboth Beach and (Outlets) are nearby south on Route 1.

There is the Boardwalk in Rehoboth and further south, in Ocean City as well as historic sites, theatres, amusement parks, the incomparable Cape Henlopen State Park on the ocean in Rehoboth and all kinds of experiences awaiting you at the shore.
