Prime Hook Retreat - Amazing View of the Refuge - Beach Access Across the Street

Newly available in 2023. See our other Prime Hook property at I.D.#1460435.

Prime Hook Retreat is a spacious four bedroom two bathroom house that sits directly on the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge. The house is open and bright with views of the Refuge from the second story living room, balcony, and all four bedrooms. From the front of the house, enjoy the view of the Delaware Bay in the fully enclosed sun room.

This house has plenty of space to spread out! The large sunroom has comfortable couches to enjoy the view of the bay or an afternoon nap. A game table with an assortment of board games and puzzles for fun with family or friends. Or just sit back in one of the chairs and read a good book. The living room has a beautiful view of the marsh with plenty of seating to socialize or watch a movie. Seat the whole family at the large dining table for dinner or games. Or if you like, enjoy that meal on the front patio under the sunroom.

A laundry and full bathroom are on the ground level along with an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach.

Located in the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge, this quiet community is away from the hustle and bustle of crowds and traffic. Enjoy the wildlife, star filled night sky, and wide open sandy beach.

Get the best of all that Prime Hook Has to offer from this house sitting directly on the wildlife refuge and beach access directly across the street. Watch the sun rise over the bay and set across the marsh.


Only 2 1/2 hours from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC, and 25 - 30 minutes to the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, beautiful ocean front Cape Henlopen state park, and historic Lewes. Outlet shopping, fabulous restaurants, and amusements are all a short drive away.

The hosts were great, the place was very clean, the location was great. We had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend there. The only surprise was that the second bathroom was not located on the "living floor" where all 4 bedrooms are located, but on the lower level. With 6 people, this was not very convenient.

Came for a nice relaxing weekend and got just that. The house is a convenient short walk across the street from the beach. We had 2 really windy days which actually helped with the mosquitoes. The beach was covered in seaweed, which was a slight bummer but was still pleasant for walks with our dog. The neighborhood is peaceful and people were friendly. Would definitely stay here again!
