Seaside Sanctuary with Amazing Views/Dog-Friendly/Sheets & Towels Provided

Secluded Coastal Retreat with Breathtaking views of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge

Welcome to our charming, raised cottage in Prime Hook Beach, DE, where tranquility meets natural beauty. Nestled against the backdrop of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, this idyllic getaway promises an unforgettable escape.

Key Highlights:
• Stunning Views: Imagine waking up to vistas of the refuge, where ospreys and eagles gracefully soar. As the sun sets, the sky transforms into a canvas of warm hues, casting a magical glow over the landscape.
• Private Oasis: Prime Hook Beach is a hidden gem—a quiet, private community on the Delaware Bay. Say goodbye to crowds and traffic; here, you’ll find solace and serenity.
• Beach Bliss: A mere 5-minute stroll leads you to the sandy shores. This natural beach is a haven for seashell collectors, families, and four-legged friends. The gentle waves invite you to swim, kayak, or simply bask in the sun.
• Comfortable Living: Our cozy cottage boasts two bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds. The open floor plan ensures easy living, and the newly refreshed bathroom adds a touch of modern comfort.
• Well-Equipped Kitchen: Whip up delicious meals in the full kitchen, complete with a large fridge, new electric flat cooktop stove, and oven. Coffee lovers will appreciate both the drip coffee maker and k-cup coffee maker.
• Smart Entertainment: The living room features a smart TV—stream your favorite shows using your personal accounts (Netflix, Hulu, etc.). Just remember to sign out before you depart.
• Outdoor Bliss: Sip your morning coffee on the screened-in porch, surrounded by whispering pine trees. Or catch some rays on the open deck while eagles and ospreys dive for their breakfast.
• Pet-Friendly: We welcome one dog (under 50 lbs.) with a non-refundable $200 pet fee. Remember to keep your furry companion on a leash and clean up after them.
• Convenient Location: Only 2.5 hours from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC, this coastal haven is closer than you think.
• Local Attractions: Only 25 minutes to the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, 20 minutes to beautiful ocean front Cape Henlopen state park, and historic Lewes as well as no-sales tax outlet shopping, fabulous restaurants and trails!
• Save room packing: Fresh bed sheets, bath and hand towels and washcloths are included as well as 4 beach chairs. We also supply hand soaps, bar soap, one roll of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels to get you started.

Pack your bags, leave the hustle behind, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Prime Hook Beach. Book your stay now!

Quiet, breathtaking views
We got so lucky to have a full week of perfect weather in late October. It was dead silent on the bay and the beach was mostly empty; a pair of herons were constantly in view from the windows and the porch. We managed to find good places to eat and explore even though it was off season, I imagine next time we'll try and catch the boardwalk when more things are open...but we were perfectly happy to appreciate prime Hook either way it was really really pleasant

The 9.8 Exceptional rating was misleading. This was not an exceptional property. I was a bit disappointed. Several lightbulbs were burned and therefore the kitchen was dark, the bedroom side light was out, the screened porch had no light. There was a gas grill but no fuel. There was a washer and dryer with dryer sheets but no laundry detergent. Pillow cushions on porch and sofa were stained. White deck furniture was pretty dirty. The kitchen was not well equipped.

Lovely house, nice walking areas with gorgeous views of the waterways in the wildlife preserve. Breathtaking sunsets! Nicely furnished with plenty of equipment, towels etc. We loved the porch. Heaven forbid....did not find a corkscrew to open wine, but we always travel with one.

Wonderful Getaway
This house is in a lovely location overlooking a wetland and easy bay beach access. It was peaceful in late Sept, minus the annoyance of mosquitos (bring bug spray). The house was clean, kitchen well equipped, outdoor seating for watching wildlife/birds and space to park the car. We loved it.

Great, quiet house in a quiet beach community
Prime Hook itself is a bit off the beaten path, which is good for a quiet week away. 5 minute walk to the beach, beautiful sunrises and sunsets! The house was clean and perfect for what we needed. Good enough space for two adults and a toddler. We probably could have had another toddler aged child there, beyond that it would start to feel a bit small. Heads up: bring a healthy amount of bug spray in the summer, the mosquitos outside the house are aggressive! Overall, it was a great place and it was exactly as advertised!

Where tranquility and nature meet
The house was very clean, tidy yet inviting. A quick walk to the beach. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets! Our dog loved it! The outdoor shower was super appreciated. The views from our room and deck were picturesque! It’s very remote, and maybe not for everyone, but we thought it was perfect!

Quiet, refreshed and super clean!
In a quiet neighborhood, this darling cottage backs up to the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and has a short walk to an uncrowded bay beach. The cottage is spotless and newly remodeled. Coastal decorations in white and blue with natural wood accents throughout. The screened porch and deck were favorite spots during our 7 day stay; morning coffee and evening sunsets with bird watching over the refuge. Kris was a very responsive host and the house was perfectly as pictured.

Peaceful Escape
Cozy beach house with beautiful view! Saw fox, eagle, and many species of birds. Nicely decorated in light colors. I love that i could see the nature preserve and water from the small window in the shower! The bay and beach is a short walk, a few minutes away. Nice roomy deck and enclosed porch offered lovely evening breezes. Wonderful sunset from the deck every night. A quiet area with friendly neighbors.

Nice Getaway
The cottage is in a nice and quiet neighborhood where the beach is just a short walk away. From the deck of the house you can see Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. If you are a bird watcher or nature lover this is the palace to be. We saw several birds daily - eagles, osprey, egrets,herons,gulls, sandpipers, and sanderlings - just to name a few. The weather cooperated and the sunsets over the refuge were quite beautiful. It is a short drive to Lewes or Milton for dinner, shopping, or hiking/ biking at Cape Henlopen State Park. Enjoyed sitting on the screened porch later in the evenings. This was a nice getaway from our daily routines and we enjoyed our time here.

Relaxing beach vacation
The house is in great condition, has everything we needed, perfect for a family of four. The view from the deck is breathtaking and the sunsets are mesmerizing. We couldn't stop taking pictures with every change in light throughout the day. We enjoyed evenings on the screened porch. The beach was a 5 minute walk. One minor set back for our kids was the water quality- less clear, no waves, which was expected for the bay area. We ended up driving to Rehoboth beach a few times, which is quite a trip through traffic.

Wonderful Beach Hideaway
A perfect little hideaway! Beautifully renovated, well-stocked, super close to the beach and all that the surrounding area has to offer. We enjoyed exploring the nearby towns, spending time at the beaches and nearby parks, and closing out the day on the porch listening to the birds and crickets sing. Our host, Kris is amazing! Extremely helpful and kind. And a special shout-out to Kris's niece, Ally. Ally - You Rock! Thank you again for coming to our rescue during our stay. We appreciate you both! We look forward to coming back.

Overall nice, with some caveats
Beautiful location in Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge with gorgeous views, peace and quiet, stunning sunsets. Newly remodeled and done well. Good place to really get away from the world. Down side: overwhelming mosquitoes. Not sure if it is different at different times of the year but late June was awful. House has nice screened in porch but mosquitoes get in there so often not a comfortable place to sit. Bring your bug repellent. Walkable (2 blocks) to Prime Hook beach, which was pretty and a nice getaway from the bugs. But the seaweed gave off an unpleasant odor. Overall nice place in theory, but maybe I went at the wrong time of year.
