About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family friendly home w/ 360 views of the bay and wild life preserve (sleeps 12)

Brand New Dock!

Unique round house with stunning 360 degree views directly on the estuary, where you can fish, kayak or take a short walk across the street to enjoy Broadkill Beach. For those looking to relax, the view provides wonderful bird watching across the wildlife refuge at the back door. You can see the sun rise over the bay in the morning, and set behind the preserve in the evening. The exceptional view makes this house like no other and offers a calming environment for not only vacationing, but working or doing virtual school if you crave a change of environment.

There is plenty of room for the whole family to relax in their own space or cozy up on the couch together. The living room is an open rotunda, great for gatherings. Feel free to take advantage of the available puzzles, games and books. The in-law suite on the lower level provides a separate living area with King bed and pull out couch.

Sleep comfortably in one of the 3 king beds, 2 queens or 2 twins, all comfortable and like new condition. Unwind in front of the smart TV in family room with netflix, hulu or amazon prime or laze in front of the TV in the master suite or in-law apartment. Make a homemade meal in the full size kitchen with fully stocked cooking and baking supplies or order pizza from the Broadkill Store.

This portion of Bayshore drive fits only two houses between the beach and estuary. This means more space per family on the beach and a greater sense of privacy, in the water, on the beach, or within the home. There are simply few places in the world that allow a sense of seclusion at the beach, and certainly none as affordable as the Broadkill area.

After a day at the beach, rinse off at our private outdoor shower and store your gear under the covered carport. Enjoy a night out in the small town of Milton, at the local shops or drive into Lewis or Rehoboth beaches, both a short drive from your vacation home.

The BRAND NEW DOCK allows you to easily take out the readily available Kayaks for a family adventure or afternoon escape. Or have a relaxing day fishing or crabbing right off the back yard. Please obtain a very inexpensive fishing license to avoid any fines.

This was our second year staying at this wonderful house for our annual Girls Weekend. We love the views out of every window. You can watch the sunrise while drinking a cup of coffee at the dinning table and also watch the sunset while drinking a cocktail on the deck. Plenty of room to sit and read a book alone or enjoy games or crafts at the large table with the gang. Quiet area yet not a far drive to restaurants or stores.

The house and views are amazing! The location was perfect and there was something for everyone to enjoy! We fished, crabbed(caught enough for 2meals), kayaked, and swam/played at the beach. There was plenty of wildlife to keep our birder entertained. There are also plenty of quiet places to just sit and enjoy the view. We are a family of 9 ranging in age from 2-67 and we all went home happy and relaxed.

Our stay was amazing and the hosts replied promptly. Their kitchen is the most well supplied kitchen we have had in a rental. The beds are super comfortable, outdoor sitting is very welcoming. Fishing and watching the sunsets are a favorite! Added benefit was the ping pong table for our young teenagers.

Perfect Family Spot

This is our second year here and it has been a great place get the entire family together for a week of summer fun. The quiet beach and the fishing dock and kayaks and a canoe are all right there for us to enjoy. Rehoboth, Lewes, and the Cape May ferry are only about a half hour away. The house offers spectacular views of both ocean and marsh, and excellent bird watching. Every guest was comfortable in their space.

A beautifully relaxing retreat

The house is wonderful with its 360 degree views. Having flowing water and a dock on the property allowed for fishing and crabbing multiple times a day. Enough bathrooms for our crowd and private spaces suited extended family members. All in all our week at Broadkill Beach was a hit!

Great Views

A group of eight visited for 4 days. House worked well. Views are great and everything we needed was available. Short trips to various activities including a winery, a tour of Dogfish Head brewery and some great breakfast and dinner places. Small issue but was solved very quickly. Owners are very responsive.

Sanctuary

The house is a dream if you are looking for being a little off the beaten path but not too far from the action. Beautiful and roomy home with easy access to the beach and state park, but not a far drive from restaurants and the boardwalk. The beach is quiet compared to lewes, rehoboth, ect and was ideal for shell finding and observing wildlife. Kitchen is well stocked with appliances, living room was an amazing space to enjoy the views, and the dock was an added bonus to the property.

Round Beach House

This was our sixth trip to 'our round beach house'. That's what we call it because we love it so. Just walking through the door creates a sense of calm and comfort knowing that for the next few days we'll have everything we need to relax and have a good time with each other. Because our group is large, we utilize the in-law suite as well as the main house and it is equally as comfortable. We have cocktails on the deck at sunset and make delicious dinners in the well-appointed kitchen then get cozy and watch movies on the smart tv. 'Our Round Beach House' has everything for a fantastically fun girls' weekend away.When you book this house know that you're in good hands with the kind and attentive owners.
