EXCLUSIVELY YOURS! Private Beach Path, Double Water Access, and Dog Friendly.
DOUBLE WATER ACCESS! A PRIVATE BEACH PATH & BEACH GEAR CORRAL IN FRONT TO THE SANDY BEACH; & PRIVATE CEMENT BOAT RAMP & LARGEST DOCK AT BROADKILL BEACH IN THE BACK YARD. PRIVATE PATHWAY TO BEACH WITH A BEACH GEAR CORRAL! The property across the street was purchased & is maintained by the homeowner who also provides you with an exclusive private pathway as part of your rental agreement. It does not get any better than this!
Located on the south end of Broadkill Beach, in Sussex County, DE, this spacious four-bedroom property faces the sandy beach at the mouth of the Delaware Bay, just a few steps from your front door & your private pathway to the beach. In the rear of the property is your own private dock & boat ramp giving you access to the Broadkill River, Delaware Bay & the Atlantic Ocean.
NEAR LEWES & HENLOPEN! NEAR FREDERICA & BETHANY! (No sports teams please)
Instead of parking problems, heavy traffic & crowded beaches, a typical day could look something like this:
In the early morning, from your master bedroom’s private sundeck; view the eastern sky & large ships that appear small, moving effortlessly through a vast body of water while you are enjoying your first cup of coffee. Walk over your small dune that reveals the shoreline of the Delaware Bay; soothe your soul by feeling the calmness of a new day. As you watch the pink, orange, & gold sunrise over the water, the calm changes, you feel a breeze coming from the salty sea, you see & hear the waves begin to lap onto the beach, birds appear, start chirping, & move toward the one-foot surf; you now know why Broadkill Beach is the best-kept secret in all of Delaware.
Linger & watch the Cape May/Lewes Ferry travel across the mouth of the Delaware Bay to its destination. Watch dolphins playing, splashing & catching fish just in front of you. Walk north toward the Broadkill Store, turn over stranded horseshoe crabs & stop to investigate the life on & around the rock jetty.
At low tide look for hermit crabs, starfish, conchs & other sea life in the shallow water around these rocks. Read, relax, swim, take a nap at the water’s edge & refresh yourself with lunch in the cool air conditioning of your retreat just behind the small dune you crossed over earlier in the day.
Walk south from your private beach path toward Beach Plum Island State Park & ask the fishermen if they are catching anything. Look south & identify the Roosevelt Inlet, historic Lewes, Henlopen Point & the breakwater lighthouse.
Return to your resting place, take an outdoor shower & plan your evening by making sure you are back home to sit on the bench seats of your private observation deck to watch a spectacular sunset over a Federal Wildlife Refuge & waterway adjoining your own backyard.
This open-concept home, built in the perfect location, was designed for comfort, convenience, & enjoyment to be shared with family, friends, & now with you. It consists of two living areas that are included in the weekly rental fee; a three-bedroom house & a one-room efficiency room that sleeps 3. The two areas are connected by an enclosed staircase & access to an outdoor shower, changing area, & privacy space.
Imagine the convenience of bringing your own boat to launch & dock in back, giving you access to limitless activities & adventures that few people are fortunate enough to discover or experience. Spend the day fishing & crabbing from the dock, exploring winding tributaries in the backwaters, drifting on the Broadkill River, charging through the Roosevelt Inlet into the open expanse of the Delaware Bay & Atlantic Ocean waiting for you to experience all it has to offer.
BRING YOUR TOYS, IF YOU DON'T, YOU'LL WISH YOU HAD! Launch your boat, jet skis, canoes, kayaks & other flotation vessels into the backwaters. Navigate south on the Broadkill River to Lewes for a cocktail & meal at the waterside restaurants. Go out the Roosevelt Inlet for bay fishing or jet skiing. Come around on the bay to your home at Broadkill & take the family for a ride on the jet skis, go tubing & wakeboarding, or load everyone up on your pontoon boat for a day trip & picnic lunch. Head back in the Inlet & get a gasoline fill-up on the water in Lewes. Your dock is long enough to hold a 24-foot pontoon boat in the water for the week & still have plenty of room to crab, fish, catch minnows, sunbathe, put up a baby pool, fill with water, bird watch, sit, & relax.
Replenish your mind & soul with the serenity of the environment, meditate, read, & experience the sunset from the dock of your private oasis.
Activities: • Walk the beach with your sand bucket and find natural treasures not found at other beaches. • Explore the rock jetty during low tide and find water creatures you did not know were there! • Play Corn Hole on the front deck with a refreshing drink by your side. • Ride the waves of Delaware bay in the open kayaks provided with our rental experience. • Take the kayaks out from your back yard onto Deep Hole Creek, turn right to the Broadkill Store, or left to the Broadkill River. Enjoy your time floating with the tide and observing nature! • Ride the bikes to the famous Broadkill Store and have a breakfast sandwich or hand-dipped ice cream. On weekends, the Broadkill Store’s world-renowned cake donuts are freshly prepared. Remember to order or shop early! • Load up the car and take the kids to the ocean at Cape Henlopen State Park for the day and appreciate your location when you return. • Delight your little ones at Rehoboth Beach Funland (funlandrehoboth.com) • Enjoy the waterparks (funatjunglejims.com) • Golf at the Rookery Championship Golf Club at Rt 1 and Rt 16 (rookerygolf.com) • Take the Cape May-Lewes Ferry to Cape May. A free shuttle will get you to Cape May for shopping or to the Zoo. • Shop TAX FREE ‘til you drop at three Tanger Outlet Malls ( tangeroutlet.com)
The historic town of Milton has a charming downtown at the beginning of the Broadkill River. Most restaurants overlook the river or fresh water Wagamon’s pond. Fishing off the docks or on the pond are favorite locations for avid anglers to catch a meal. The state record largemouth bass was caught here.
The Milton Museum gives the history of the town as a shipbuilding town during colonial time as well as button making from clam shells, rope making, and holy garland in the late fall to sell in Philadelphia. The practically self sustaining Dogfish Head brewery was once a cannery, and now includes beer making, a distillery, and casual restaurant. Plan on spending an afternoon there and play some bocce ball if it is not too hot. Other Milton restaurants include: • Taco Real Mexican • The Miltonian Pizzeria • Irish Eyes Pub Fare in Milton (also located on the dock at Lewes, DE) • Dough Bar with a varied menu American cuisine ( behind Irish Eyes ) • Beaches Seafood • The Backyard ( American cuisine ) • The Broadkill Store (pick up a menu, order, and take it back to the house)

Very Nice Property in Gorgeous, Quiet Beach Location
The house is in good shape with plenty of room for a full family. The beach across the street is beautiful, as is the river in the backyard. The owners are lovely, friendly and helpful; the house means a lot to them and it shows. Plenty of amenities. Quite a few stairs, which is endemic to the area which can be subject to rare hurricane water damage. Overall a terrific experience, unique for its conveniences combined with quiet, off-the-path location.
Wendy provides you with the most perfect home for a stay in Broadkill. The house is just steps away from the beach and the private beach path is a wonderful touch! The house had everything we needed for the week including a wide variety of kitchen appliances to use while cooking meals. We traveled with a 1 year old and there were even things in the house that benefitted him like a seated wagon and multiple pack n plays! Our family enjoyed having the options of being on the beach or fishing out back on the dock. Wendy also provides you with some outdoor games as well such as cornhole and frisbee. The house was very clean on arrival and Wendy even assisted with providing some tools we needed to go crabbing. We would definitely book with Wendy again for a relaxing stay in Broadkill beach.
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. The owners were easy to communicate with and quick to respond to all the questions I had before booking and before we arrived. Check-in was a snap, and the house was spotless when we arrived. Best of all, there were no surprises; the house and amenities were exactly as advertised.
Every night we enjoyed an absolutely gorgeous sunset from the dock, and every morning we were on the beach, via the private path, watching the sunrise. We also had a great view of both the sunrise and sunset from the balconies off the master bedroom; one on either side of the house. You really couldn't ask for a better view.
If you have a large family that wants to hit the beach often and you're looking for a nice, quiet, neighborhood, you really can't beat this home. We had seven people in the house, and we fit very comfortably. We never once felt as if we were tripping over each other or were in each other's way.
My kids are already asking if we're going back to the same house next summer!
We had a very lovely getaway. The house is in an amazing location with the most gorgeous sunsets. We especially loved being able to easily access both the bay and the beach. The hosts were very kind, communicative, and helpful with all of our questions. We can’t wait to go back in the future!
My rather large family was extremely happy and made many wonderful memories at this vacation property. Wendy was a most gracious host and easily accessible for any questions that I had. This house is really the best of both worlds with the ocean on one side and the canal on the other. The sunsets are spectacular. There are so many amenities; bikes, a child wagon, fire pit, 3 minute walk to the beach are just a few. I highly recommend this house for a wonderful family friendly vacation.
Just got back from our mini vacation on Broadkill Beach. The access to both the beach in front and the dock and wetlands in back was the main draw for us. The kids (and even the teens!!) had fun crabbing off the dock and kayaking through the canals. Two thumbs up!

Great Location.
Everything was great. Location was awesome. Wonderful views and the dock in the back was a huge plus. We had bad weather but had a great time anyway. Will look to be back in the future.
Wendy is a wonderful host! Her home is lovely. We love staying on the canal...crabbing and fishing! There's a quick walk across the street to the clean and quiet bay! We love Broadkill Beach!
One of the cleanest places I've stayed at from this site. Private dock and beach access were really nice. Beach was clean and not crowded at all. Kayaks and bikes were also a plus! Perfect place for a quiet family vacation. I would reccomend bringing a few baby gates if you have infants/toddlers though as there is a lot of steps in the house.

Girls'Weekend
The home was the perfect setting for us to get away for my daughter's bachelorette weekend. The home had all the amenities we needed and was very clean. We had a wonderful weekend relaxing on the deck, chatting in the large kitchen and family room, walking on the beach and going to local restaurants in Lewes.
The house was very clean and well-stocked. The property manager was available and helpful.
Our family of six was very comfortable and the perfect size for this house.
Broadkill beach was amazing! Warm water and no broken shells on bottom!
The location and proximity to both the private beach and canal make this property a great family vacation spot. for swimming and kayaking from the dock. The kids especially enjoyed the horseshoe crabs! We enjoyed hanging out at the house, trips to the boardwalk, restaurants, etc.
The house was well stocked, clean, and the beds very comfortable. Thanks to Wendy for her great communication and personal greeting. We would definitely recommend this rental!
We had 6 adults and 7 children between 3 and 12. The kids LOVED the house and the beach. We loved that it was not a prodution to go to the beach. No packing up and hauling your life for an afternoon.No torture finding parking. The older kids enjoyed the bike cruisers. The outdoor shower is perfect. Everyone wanted to stay longer. Overall a great week and a beautiful location.
