This property was perfect for a weekend away and we feel we’ve discovered a new location we’ll be returning to in the future! The house was everything we hoped and the hosts both friendly and very communicative.

Utterly magical

What a spectacular stay! The location could not be more gorgeous. We walked back and forth to the beach dozens of times a day (very helpful when you’re traveling with a toddler and a bigger group!) and adored the bird watching and nearby trails. We took advantage of the beach toys, and the wonderful selection of games, and made family meals in the kitchen. We did end up having to drive into town for some supplies (they were out of cooking oil, laundry detergent, and the grill lighter was out of lighter fluid), but we didn’t mind—just want to make sure everyone knows to bring what you need. A few of our party have bad backs and struggled some with the pillows and mattresses, but we loved the place so much we’d come back even with the achey backs. Watching the sun set over the marshes from the little balcony, and the sun rise from the sun room on the plush, comfy couches more than made up for it. A perfect home for a family vacation.

Fun, family stay at the beach

The house was a great size and nicely laid out with many open spaces for all of us. We loved the sun room and spent a lot of time there working on puzzles and playing games and just relaxing. It also had all the tools and items we needed for daily use. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Slice of heaven!

Such a beautiful spot between the wildlife refuge and the Bay! Very comfortable house with everything we needed, spectacular sunsets and quick walk across the quiet road to the beach. Owners were responsive and helpful. So nice to be able to have our dog with us. We’ve stayed in several houses on this stretch of Prime Hook and this was our favorite.

Keep prime hook a secret!

Everything about this stay was ideal. Nice kitchen. Two bathrooms. Plenty of dining room and living room space. The little balcony off the back was a great place to enjoy AM coffee. Beautiful enclosed upstairs deck looking toward the ocean. A charcoal grill was great! Closets in every bedroom. BYO beach chairs - sunbrellas provided

Beautiful and Dog Friendly

Prime Hook is a beautiful place to stay. The sunsets are stunning and the wildlife refuge is peaceful. The beach is unspoiled and dog friendly. Nearby restaurants are dog friendly too. The location of this house is perfect with gorgeous views both of the refuge and the bay, and the beach is a minute away. The house is large, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. So nice to have linens included and beds made. Our family had a great stay.

Beach Getaway

This property was clean and so roomy. The owners thought of everything to make our stay - from linen to bath towels plus games & books for down time entertainment. The views were absolutely amazing - on one side was the Prime Hook Refuge and the other the beach water. It was a short walk to the beach and we loved the fact it was so natural with Horseshoe crabs and sand crabs. There was an amazing breeze that kept us comfortable despite the heat. The owners were responsive to our inquiries and our stay was just the family getaway we were hoping to have. Would definitely stay here again & highly recommend to others to consider for their vacation.

Prime Hook Getaway

We had a wonderful time in Prime Hook. The house is perfectly located between the bay and the nature preserve with a quick drive into Lewes. We spent time on the beach, canoed the preserve canoe trail and had dinner in Lewes. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. We’ll be back!

Spacious House DIRECTLY Across from the Ocean

This place was an absolute delight for the week that the family and I stayed here. Everything was open and spacious, nothing felt cramped, and everyone had room to chill. The kids loved being able to play in the sun room, in the basement, or just hang out in their own room in between trips out to eat or beach visits. The kitchen was equipped enough for what we needed and the dining area was great for the kids breakfast and lunches. The walk to the beach is short and sweet, just right across the road. Plenty of place to setup there where you aren't directly in front of another houses property, and no coral or anything else intrusive in your way when going for a swim. We would 100% book this house again :)

Great House

We stayed here in March 2024. House was very clean, kitchen very good condition and had upscale dishes, etc. Fantastic views! We enjoyed watching the sun rise on the bay, and also watching the sun set over the preserve. Beds and furniture was comfortable. TV easy to use. Instructions from the owner was helpful. It was just 2 of us, but this would be a great place for a family, or larger group. The owners were very helpful, good communication, easy access. Check out was easy. We enjoyed sitting on the bay beach, and easy access to Lewes and Rehoboth.

Family Thanksgiving

Our family has visited Primehook before and this is the best house we have stayed in. With amazing views in every direction, we enjoyed both sunrise and sunset. It was perfect for our family, ages 7 to 70, our group is already talking about our next visit. Everything was as described! The house was well thought out and organized. In general, just a fantastic space. The bedrooms and living areas were comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. When we had any questions or concerns Mike was professional and quick to respond. Thanks again Mike and Laura.

Very fun week and great home!

This was our 5th summer vacation at Primehook and it never disappoints. We bring 4 very active, sports oriented boys and they are never bored. We spent the days kayaking, skim boarding, paddle boarding, and we took the short drive to Rehoboth one day for putt putt, boardwalk fries and dinner out. The nights were spent building cozy campfires and catching sharks. Yep. A little scary but the boys loved every second. The house is very clean and well kept and the hosts were really awesome. Everything you need to cook with is in the kitchen and amazing sunsets over the marsh. We will be back next year!!!

Peaceful beach community

My husband and I were very comfortable in Mike and Laura's house. It was very clean and spacious. The view of the wildlife refuge out the back slider was amazing. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood quiet.We cooked all our meals in the kitchen which was well-equipped. I enjoyed reading in the evenings on the enclosed front porch addition. I got to watch a magnificent fireworks display from there on the 4th of July. The house is perfectly located in a remote, farming community, yet close to the coastal highway for easy access to Lewes, Henlopen State Park, Rehoboth, Dewey and Bethany beaches, and Fenwick Island. We even spent a day in Assateague. Thank you so much Mike and Laura! ~ Deb & Jim
