We very much enjoyed our stay and the house was perfect for us. It is beautifully decorated, completely redone/modern, clean (with the exception of the oven and the blinds in the kitchen which could use a thorough cleaning, but no biggie), well stocked with bath towels and basic supplies, with a great layout and a game room/extra living area stocked with games and a TV, and in a great location adjacent to the amazing Primehook Wildlife Refuge with all its wonderful trails.
Although a winter storm knocked out the direct beach access path (something we were not aware of from the listing on VRBO) , it is easy enough to get onto the beach and the fact that the house is beachfront is terrific so it didn’t create any issue for us at all.
Just as an FYI for those who may be unfamiliar with the Broadkill community/area community where the house is located: it is a rather rustic area/community and there are quite a few houses and lots that are in rather run down/overgrown condition and/or under repair. In fact, we were not thrilled to find a GIANT bright green construction dumpster, filled to well past the top with old patio furniture, bed pillows, metal, wood, other furniture and construction debris, in between the front of the house and the house across the street - literally within 6-8 ft of the front door. It was an unfortunate eyesore and made pulling in and out of the driveway with an SUV, with a 3 bike rack on the back, a bit of a challenge. Not the owners fault and they likely had no idea it was even there. It was there until the evening before we left and, thankfully happened to removed while we were not at the house so we avoided the noise and disruption of the removal and came back from being out to find it gone. Again, not the owners fault and likely not something that will happen again.
The owners were absolutely wonderful to deal with, very thoughtful and kind, and provided excellent and timely communication. The gift of note cards printed with a picture of Broadkill Store that we found waiting for us in the table was a lovely gesture, thank you!
We would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking for a beautifully decorated, clean, and completely updated house in a scenic, convenient and quiet location.
We hope to return again in the future. Thank you, Jess and Tom!
