Delaware Beachfront Private Getaway on the Bay

Welcoming serene Delaware Beachfront cottage located in the heart of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge (8000+acres). Beautiful natural beach with Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean views. Abundant wildlife, birds, and sea life. Property is sanitized and sparkling clean with basic amenities.
After years and years of study, we have come up with an all natural, eco friendly solution to common insects at the beach. We now have a new addition to our private beach paradise, a family of resident, Purple Martin’s to take care of all those pesky insects!
Free Wi-Fi! The Cottage has cold A/C and is heated during colder months. Enjoy surf fishing. Bring your own boat, jet skis, kayak, or Jon boat and beach chairs. Free Wi-Fi!

Fenced yard for dogs. Shower off the sand in the Bath(Shed)House. Laundry & bathroom are available in Bath(Shed)House. However, Shed House is Winterized during the months of, Dec, Jan, Feb & March. So no water usage, no second bathroom.

Awesome porch/great room, perfect for entertaining! Listen to the soothing waves or relax by the fire pit under a starlit night sky. Witness beautiful sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean and in the evening, see stunning sunsets over the refuge wetlands.

Go back in time in this quaint 1960's beach cottage. Enjoy the simple life! No crowds, no boardwalks, no shopping or restaurants on the beach. No stress, no worries. Private and quiet. Perfect artist retreat.

Located within 115 miles of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC. Located 20 miles north of Rehoboth Beach. 10miles from Lewes Beach....

Off-Season discounts are available. ***Weekend rentals available in October, November-December and March-April***

Definetely Relaxing, quiet and great place to stay
We only had a short stay. The house was amazing, relaxing, clean and had lots of games and puzzles. And it was literally right on the beach! The fenced in yard was great for our dogs.

Adorable House on a Quiet Beach
We really enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the beach. The house met all of our expectations and was a perfect size for 3 adults, a toddler, and a dog. The beach was delightfully dog welcoming! Milton, DE is the cutest little town with so many cute businesses, restaurants, breweries and a sweet little playground.

We love our stays here (this was our second year) we stay between Christmas & New Years & it’s just heavenly. We love the remoteness, quiet & everyone is so friendly!

Relaxing get-away
The stay was great! The house is very accommodating with the kitchen being at the hub of the house. Beautiful views of the grasses out front just before the waters edge, and a prefect fenced in yard in back for the doggies. The house was clean and cozy, with the front room ideal for dining, playing board games, watching TV, or just relaxing. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!

The description of this house and its location can’t begin to describe how quaint and beautiful it is here. Perfect getaway for my family and 11 year old pup. Literally step outside and you are on the beach. The sunrises are breathtakingly gorgeous. Quiet and away from the crowds.

Quiet retreat
The property was exactly how it was represented in the listing. The back room with the windows provided a beautiful view. The beach is just a few steps away through the gate. It is a quiet area and the nature preserve is gorgeous. You can tell the owner really takes pride in being a good host. Would definitely stay again!
