Close to the beach!

We enjoyed the days we stayed at the beach. The location is very close (walking distance) to Broadkill beach and this was our first time to the area. We also enjoyed how close the general store was for a quick lunch. Host was very responsive. Great birdwatching and easy access to the beach.

This place was cozy and fit our needs perfectly. We had an easy walk to the beach everyday. The front porch is a great spot to relax throughout the day. Easy walk to the broadkill store for ice cream in the evening. We enjoyed everyday!

Broadkill Cottage

The cottage is in an excellent location right by the beach, and easy access to Rehoboth and Lewes. The property manager provided us all the info we need in advance, and included things that we may want to see in the area. Would absolutely stay again!

Just what we where looking for!

The house is cozy, comfortable, and at a perfect location for us. It was a very short walk to get on the beautiful but secluded beach and a short drive to Rehoboth Beach and Lewes. It is exactly as described, but way more cozy. If we ever come this way again, we would absolutely stay here again.

Great Location

You can't beat the location. The cozy cabin has a great screened in porch where we enjoyed our meals and family time. For those with small children it is ideal. Popping back to the cabin because you forgot the sun block or to go to bathroom, and you are so close to the corner store. The owners are very quick to respond and the cabin has everything you need. We had a wonderful time.

A Rustic Getaway

This property was just what we needed. As described, it is a rustic cottage. For the price, you cannot beat the location. It is just mere steps from the beach. The house was clean inside, and the furniture was super comfy. I do suggest bringing bug spray. The mosquitos were thick, but that is what you get when you are surrounded by water and we were prepared. Overall, we had a great stay and would stay there again.

Perfect family getaway

Jason was a great host, helpful and quick to respond. The cottage was perfect for us! My husband ,two daughters and my self all wanted to stay forever. There are no frills on this cottage , but the love can be felt in the comfortable beds and I could have spent every night out on the screened porch ! The neighborhood was welcoming and I hope to return again next year or sooner if possible!!!!

Relaxing

If you like quite and relaxing. This is the place to be. We absolutely loved the location. So close to the beach and no crowds. The best was walking the beach at sunset. If you want to go to any of the other beaches they were not far away. Best part was the outdoors shower so you can keep the sand at a minimum. Especially with kids. I loved waking up and sitting on the porch drinking my coffee. Such a beautiful area. We were not disappointed and Linda answered right away with any questions. We definitely go back again.

Meh, bugs and not cleaned

House needs some tlc and lawn was knee high when we arrived. Someone came to mow on the last night as we were eating dinner outside. The place needed a cleaning. Floors, beds, couch, and cookware were all dirty. Bugs were all over the place and dozens were in the light fixtures.

Our first visit to Broadkill

But definitely not our last. We wanted a beach getaway without the traffic and crowds you find further south and Broadkill fit the bill. This cottage is perfect for a couple a family or small group. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook meals. We loved hanging out on the screened porch playing cards and a couple of the board games provided. The beach is just a 2 minute walk and my husband is still talking about the pizza he had from the Broadkill store just down the road. The host were quick to respond to any questions i had and gave clear instructions for the check in and out process. I will definitely be booking this cottage again and recommending to friends.

Nice cabin

We had a great stay at this rustic cabin, it is super close to the beach and was great for our small family. The outdoor shower was perfect for getting the sand off. Bug spray kept the flys off and the beach is amazing! This was our first family beach trip together and we had a great time.

Nice hideaway location

The location is beautiful and so peaceful. We had a small mishap with the property not having been completely cleaned at the beginning of our trip, but the host responded promptly and all worked out well. This is our second time booking this place and may stay again.

Great Getaway

We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and close to beach and the little store. And if we needed any extras the drive to the little town wasn’t far! The only thing we recommend is the bug spray if you want to hike the refuge!

Great location, great time

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful experience. The house is small but perfectly located on a nice quiet road less than a minutes walk onto the beach. The owner had great communication and everything worked as per the instructions we were given. The beach gear that is included really helped to make this stay wonderful. Although the house has a nice big tv we never even turned it on because we spent most of our time in the house on the screened in porch- this was lovely. We definitely would love to come back as soon as we can.

Bliss

If you want a relaxing vacation, Broadkill beach is the place to be: miles of pristine serene beach free from crowds perfect for crab and bird watching, swimming, relaxing. Linda’s quaint house is located a 3 min walk from the beach. It has everything you need to have a good vacation: well stuffed kitchen, comfy living room and bedrooms, beach chairs and umbrellas. Outdoor shower is great to prevent tracking sand in. Broadkill store is around the corner and has bicycles for rent. Broadkill wildlife refuge is 5 min away, and if you miss crowds Lewes and Rehoboth are 20 minutes drive. House is back to the marsh, so have plenty repellent handy. No light pollution at night: sky is full of stars. Linda is a gracious host and great communicator.

Great place!

Great location, easy walk to the beach and even easier to walk to the general store (great spot for sandwiches, burgers, pizza, ice cream) - which was great, because with no dishwasher and no garbage disposal I really didn't want to cook. The bedroom with the bunk beds isn't air conditioned, so it got very warm. One of my kids didn't mind and slept fine in there (the provided fan helped) and the other preferred to sleep in the living room. The window air conditioners in the living room and queen bedroom are powerful and we were happy to have them (note: like all window units, they are loud. Wasn't a problem for us.) For a place advertised as "rustic" and priced accordingly, this was a fantastic place to stay.
