beachfront on the Delaware Bay- beautiful Prime Hook Beach

We are located beachfront on the Delaware Bay in amazing Prime Hook Beach. We are a little north of Lewes and Rehoboth. The cottage is a comfortably furnished, relaxing, 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home that sleeps 8 people. The home has amazing water views from almost every room. Two bedrooms have a queen sized bed, dresser and closet. The third bedroom is a much larger family sleeping room with a queen bed, 2 twin beds and a very comfortable couch that converts into a queen sized bed. There is a pac-n-play available. The area is perfect for nature enthusiasts with so much nature all around. This is the perfect place to hike, bike, fish, kayak or just enjoy the very quiet, mostly private beach right out your back door. (There are two kayaks at the house - a single and a double as well as two stand up paddleboards). The beach on the Delaware Bay is generally much calmer than the ocean beaches a little south. If you are looking for more intense waves the beaches of Cape Henlopen and Rehoboth are about a 25-30 minute drive. The restaurants/bars of Rehoboth, Lewes, Milton and Milford are close by as are the Rehoboth boardwalk and outlet shops. Golf, charter fishing and water sports available in several close locations. Several restaurants, a library, a theater, grocery store, liquor store and some other closer shops are available in the nearby town of Milton- approximately 8 miles away. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We love the area and hope you will too.

This home has been a very popular rental with excellent reviews (The Yellow Cottage) and is now under new ownership. *We did add an outdoor flood light/security camera at the front of the house which covers the parking area to the street. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Enjoyable Stay
Place was clean, cozy, and has its own beach. The bay is a lot calmer than the ocean, which is good for children. Would stay again.

Family Vacation
This was our second year in a row staying here. You can’t beat the location, right on the beach! Also the beach doesn’t get crowded at all and being on the bay the water is calmer which is great for our 4 and 2 year olds. Definitely thinking of staying there again next summer.

A great, clean cottage nestled in the Prime Hook Refuge right on the beach. We loved driving Prime Hook beach road enjoying the scenery and birds. Beautiful views from the living room and large deck! Easy access to local attractions. We can’t wait to come back!

Quiet Getaway
This was a great place for a quiet weekend getaway. We are lifelong friends and just wanted to be able to catch up and visit. Just far enough away from commercial tourist stuff but close enough to participate if we wanted to.

Girls beach break
We loved our stay here. To be able to walk out to the beach was awesome. The house was really well equipped especially with all the beach fun things. We took the kayaks out and had a chance to ride bikes around the neighborhood. Because the beach is in a private area it was so quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect family time on the Bay!
Our family had a wonderful stay! We will certainly be back! The house is perfect for time with young kids who enjoy birdwatching, horshoe crabs, and playtime in the sand on a calm beach. The Prime Hook Nature Reserve nearby was wonderful. Kayaks and beach toys were a pleasant surprise in the basement and the house had everything needed for a comfortable, relaxing, and fun stay! The view from the living/dining space is so beautiful.

Fabulous views!
Another perfectly relaxing trip- third year in a row for our family! You can’t beat the views. Plenty of space to relax, work on puzzles, and eat and a well stocked kitchen. Our kids love “their” room which has plenty of toys, books, and dvds to keep them occupied. We took lots of walks along the water and relaxed on the deck. Highly recommend, and we will be back!

Family Bliss
Prime Hook bay front so beautiful and property has many great beach amenities. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 children. Close to Rehoboth, Cape Henlopin and Lewis but great to return to Prime Hook and relax on quiet beach. Deer swimming in bay, a rainbow and rocket launch viewed at night. What more could you ask for

A true vacation!
This might be my favorite getaway yet. This house is truly a home. It is perfect for small children, has a fully stocked kitchen, on a quiet dead end street, and you cannot beat the views on the deck! We enjoyed the beach with all the horseshoe crabs and birds, riding bikes, jigsaw puzzles and cooking all our food at home. Grateful for a relaxing vacation with dear friends!

A yearly destination
We have been coming to Prime Hook and Broadkill for 7 years and and this place is by far our favorite. It is reminiscent of quieter times and allows a family to just enjoy the time and not be distracted by all the “extras”. But, the perfect extras here come in the form of access to kayaks, paddle boards, floats, bikes, games, books, etc. It’s the perfect respite for a family who wants to relax and just enjoy. ❤️ And the hosts are super kind, helpful and responsive with any questions!

The perfect location if you want peace and quiet. Just a few steps to the beach. Beautiful view of the ocean. The home was exceptional and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need or want for a stay at the beach. As they say seeing is believing and i would say the pictures, description was on point. We will be going back without a doubt.

Perfect location - gorgeous view!
This cottage makes the most of its spectacular bay view! Whether you're inside the living/dining area or on the porch you are surrounded by water. I woke up early just to watch the sunrise each morning. The kitchen is also nicely stocked with everything you need to avoid eating out 24/7, which made staying in a quiet, secluded neighborhood even easier. We also enjoyed all the bird watching the nature preserve provided. Thanks so much - I definitely plan to visit again!

Super cute house literally right on a beautiful and natural beach. We loved the deck, watching the freighters, the birds and seeing the horseshoe crabs. Sunrise with coffee on the deck and cocktails around back overlooking the nature preserve. We even got to experience nature's fury during a tropical storm, talk about exciting. This house has everything you need and then some. Highly recommend.

3rd Year Straight, Always Satisfied!!
Just the overall perfect cozy cottage to stay in to get away from it all, while enjoying the right on the never crowded beach with up close views of the bay!! It was exceptionally refreshing to walk in and smell the cleanliness of the cottage so A+++ to the cleaners!! We got to enjoy the breath taking sunrises over the bay, watch the dolphins swim by and even spotted a fox on the beach right in front of the cottage.Kayaks provided to take a ride on the bay makes for an even more exceptional experience!! All I can advise is to Book this place as often and for as long as you can as the time fly's by ever so quickly during your stay!!

Perfect spot for a quiet week on the beach
This was our second year at this house and we love it! Since last year, a beautiful deck has been added it is it AMAZING! We have some beach peeps and some who love the deck life so this was perfect! The house is well stocked, the owners are great with communication. We love it and already are looking forward to coming back! We come down friends that have become family so there are 4 adults and 4 growing kids. This house works well for us!! Thank you!!
