Wonderful Broadkill House

We've stayed in Broadkill 3 times, and this was by far our favorite place. Clean and well taken care of, plenty of sleeping space, beautiful view, close to the beach and great books on the shelf! Renter was also very communicative and helpful.

Beautiful views, beautiful stay!

We have been visiting Broadkill Beach every summer for over 10 years. This was our first time staying on the bay side. We were nervous about the walk with kiddos (ages 4, 6, 8, and 9) but it was exactly 200 steps to the beach, super doable for all ages. The location was near a row of rocks that "trapped" some wildlife at low tide and the kids had a blast exploring. The bay gave us gorgeous views and evening sun on the porch. Watching the occasional storm come over the bay was just as relaxing as the ocean side. House was exactly as pictured, clean, and the owner was super responsive when we had questions. We will absolutely be back!

Vacation

This vacation house is in a great location—there’s a waterway in the back and the beach is just across the street. The house is very spacious and comfortably accommodated our group. While the property could use some updates, particularly with the windows (many didn’t stay open and some screens had holes), it didn’t take away from our overall experience. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely rent again.

Great house at Broadkill

We have stayed here before and like the house. The bathrooms and kitchen could use some updating, but it is a great place to spend time with friends and family. Laurie is a great host and great at communicating. She always makes herself available to answer questions.

The house was excellent and the beach was private and beautiful. We had one minor issue with the AC but Laurie was very quick to help us fix it. I would recommend this house and location to anyone looking for a beach getaway!

It was fine…

Stayed for a week with my husband, newborn, and parents. The home is nice but clearly has seen wear as a rental property. Some things broken (screen door off the main bedroom, one of the shower doors) and coffee grounds left in the coffee machine. It seemed like a rushed cleaning job in between rentals. I also wouldn’t stay in a place that required linens again. One somewhat unexpected thing is that despite having 5 bedrooms and a lofted space, there is nothing that functions as a desk in the entire home. The only desk-height-level furniture is the main kitchen table, so I would not recommend if anyone in your party is planning to work remotely. Lastly a note on the area, not the property, the mosquitoes at night are vicious and there are biting flies on the beach, so it can be unpleasant outside at any time of day if there is not enough wind.

Another great stay!

This was our second stay at Laurie’s wonderful house in Broadkill. We love the open layout of the home and how well stocked everything is. We had two families and a pup with us and there was plenty of room to move around and hang out. The dock on the back of the house was great for crabbing but the sunset views are second to none. We also love how close the beach access is from the home. We spent the entire week crabbing and fishing from the dock, and surf fishing from the beach. There was only one other family on the beach with us during the week so it was otherwise complete calm, quiet and secluded. It definitely beats being around all of the crowds on other Delaware beaches! We got lucky because the green head flies weren’t too bad this week, but beware, because they can get bad if the winds shift off of the sound side. The mosquitoes, however, were awful this week but we came prepared with an enforced arsenal of bug repellents, lotions and anti-itch cream. That comes from experience. Laurie is an excellent host and is incredibly responsive to messages. She makes every effort to ensure that needs are met and that her guests are comfortable. We appreciate her wonderful service and beach home and highly recommend!

40th Anniversary Trip

My husband and I and our two grown children and their spouses and two grandsons and two dogs had a fabulous time. Our oldest grandson, my husband and son and son-in-law went crabbing, and caught several crabs. Loved that the beach was steps from the rental and everyone loved Broadkill beach. Most days no one was there. Our 11 yr.old Lab loved swimming there too.

Relaxing week at the beach!

The house is located on Broadkill Beach. It felt like we had a private beach as there was no others near us for most of the week. The house comfortably fit our family of six and was well equipped. The host checked in on us several times. It was a 20-25 minute drive to Lewes or Rehoboth Beach if you wanted go out to eat or do some of the local activities (shopping, boardwalk, mini-golf).

Better than the description!

:Kitchen equipment is much better than other places we have stayed: superior pots/pans, sharp knives. (Needs more large mixing/serving bowls.) Mattresses great; pillows not so much (flat and few). No mosquitoes from tidal creek bc water is in motion. Great crabbing/fishing from dock. Note that there is NO HOT TUB. There is a 2-person soaking tub in master.Great quiet, mostly owner neighborhood. Beach difficult during day because of biting flies (leave bloody wounds) and other itch-producing bugs. Early AM and later day are fine. Hardly anyone on beach. Water super warm and calm. Great tidal pools with critters. Lovely decor and furnishings (higher end), lots of games/books. No beach equipment, but some crab traps (we left one.) Good reading lamps in master BR. Flies in house but there is zapper. Tiny ants on sill and counter in kitchen/dining. Amazing birds, multi-colored views over preserve, silence. No restaurants nearby, but lots in Lewes. Grocery about 15 minutes away with liquor and drug stores in same spot. Excellent communication with host who is ready to please.Super place for treasure hunts with kids.Extra large very new laundry machines.

Breath Taking, Memory Making

We loved getting to spend the week together at this beautiful home. Many incredible memories made for my family. We caught a couple bushel of crabs from the dock. Hooked a few fish from the beach just a few steps away. Spent a few nights eith my nephew in funland riding rides. The beach was peaceful, with few others to share it with and we couldnt ask for better weather. The house is so comfortable and homey. From the second you walk through the door it was easy to rest, relax and just enjoy the beautiful setting. The nature preserve in the back yard was enjoyed every morning and evening. Not only did we get to share the great view, but it also led to great conversations that only happen in a place like this. What a great week! Thanks Laurie for your kindness! Also youre gonna be blown away by the sunsets! Overall
