Heron’s Haven- a dog friendly beach oasis
Wowza! Wait til you see our 2025 finishes! 2 brand new bathrooms, a new kitchen and all new furnishings! We are ready for spring/summer 2026!
Welcome to paradise! Heron’s Haven in Primehook Beach, DE is back to nature with all the comforts of home. Just out your front door you have a wrap around deck with beautiful views of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, great for bird watching and relaxing as the evening sun sets in the west. Early morning you enjoy a beautiful sunrise and are just steps away from the entrance to a dog-friendly, not-crowded beach on the Delaware Bay. Yes, our house is pet friendly with a pet fee!
Heron’s Haven is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy time with family and friends. The house is a recently built (2002), open and airy, sanctuary that sleeps 6-7 people. The 1st floor of the house has an open living area which includes a large living room with cathedral ceiling, the deck, and a kitchen and dinning area, all with views of the wildlife refuge. This level also includes a full-size (double) bedroom, full bath, and a bedroom for the kids with 2 single bunk beds and a trundle below.
The third bedroom is the entire second floor that overlooks the first floor as well as the wildlife refuge at the back of the house. It has a queen bed, a full bathroom and it's own balcony overlooking the refuge.
Family meals? The house has a well equipped kitchen and a dining area. Beach toys? The house storage area has many beach chairs to choose from, kites, boogie boards and large floats/boogie boards.
We hope you enjoy the time to unwind and escape the beach crowds to spend quiet time with family and friends.
