Nice quiet house, great location

It was a nice house in a quiet area and great location, with the Broadkill sound on one side and the beach nearby on the other. The public beach access was just across the street and a short walk in to the sand and water!

Location

Don't know when the pictures of the property were taken, however we found them to be misleading and not accurate representation of reality. The tile floors are in rough shape. The refrigerator, vent hood, and cabinet are in desperate need of replacement. There was a noticable odor in the house all week. The dust on vent grate in living room under the TV was gross. I didn't think I should be responsible to move the TV to get to it to clean it. I cleaned the first day we were there, and I cleaned b4 we left. I am glad my kids weren't able to come down because I would have been embarrassed by the cleanliness of the place. We don't believe our experience was a good value for the weekly rental asking price. The only thing this place has going for it is the proximity to the beach the sunrise and sunset views.

Broadkill Beach

Had a great family week with lots of room to spread out. Wish the jellyfish weren't so thick, after a couple of stings we had to drive to Lewes or Rehobeth to get in the water. Very well equipped kitchen, but could use a deep clean and some TLC. Excellent host, quick to respond and very helpful.

Problems at 1603 S. Bayshore Drive

House needs a good cleaning. Cobwebs all over the house. Black mold in the downstairs bathroom. Fan provided in ground floor room, was full of dust, we could not use the fan. The ceiling fan by the stove stopped working. The heat shields on the barbecue were so rusty, they collapsed on the heating elements. Would not use it! It was fun to have my family here, but it left a lot to be desired

Fantastic space

The views are spectacular, the house has plenty of bedrooms, it is well stocked with puzzles, games, and books. The grill and kitchen are all wonderful with everything you need and there is plenty of porch space to entertain. They provided kayaks and have their own dock to launch from. Super convenient to the ocean - 2 minute walk and is nice and quiet. Would definitely go back

Seclusion at the beach

We first rented this property during covid and found the seclusion perfect to avoid covid. Now we continue to come for the privacy and seclusion. The beach is a short walk over the dune across from the house so we go often, even for just a short sunrise walk with the pup. Most of our time at the house is spent on the screened in porch sipping drinks, reading, watching the marsh birds and sunsets (all while avoiding mosquitos!). The kitchen has everyhing we need. This year we experienced tropical storm Ophelia during our stay which was exciting. Sorta like being in a carwash for two days. The house stood her ground and Im sure the leaks discovered will be fixed before the next deluge. The kitchen and bathrooms are very clean but, we used the downstairs suite for the first time this trip and, once again, my son and his wife felt the need to wash the comforter and mattress pad. Our pup loves the house and loves being on the beach!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

Our first trip to Broadkill Beach and it won’t be our last!! So convenient to the beach and we loved the privacy! Bedrooms on 3 different floors worked well for us. Owner very responsive to any questions we had. Our 3-year old grandson said this morning as we were leaving “Can we all come back to this house next year?”!! That says it all!!

Isolated and relaxing

We like this property because of its isolation and access to the beach and marsh. Sunrises on the front deck and sunsets on the back porch are gorgeous. Great pkace for birds as well! There are empty lots on either side and across the street from this house which creates the isolation we enjoy. We did alot of cooking inside and outside, Kitchen is well equipped. Being able to just walk across the street to the beach any time of day is so convenient. The beach is never crowded. The house, beach and "town" are all pet friendly. The only problem we have ever had is with cleanliness of the bedding. A couple times we have had to wash a mattress cover and comforter before we could use them. Perhaps cleaning of bedclothes should be done by the cleaning company after each use, especially because it is a pet friendly house. This will not stop us from renting this lovely house in this lovely setting in this lovely town.

SHORT VACAY BEFORE CRUNCH

The only thing I would change was the weather. It was too cold and windy to go to the beach. We have stayed in plenty of houses on the beach or a block away over the years. This was the best one yet. The house was clean with plenty of light. The master suite was a little bit difficult for me to get to. We teased the kids by saying the bonus room was their bedroom. The two of them stayed down in the basement unit to watch TV AND play with PlayStation5 that we brought with us. Napping happened frequently over the 4 days. The kitchen and eating area were the perfect size for the 4 of us and our dog who loved being on the beach no matter the weather. The kitchen offered any gadget or pan you might need. What a luxury to have a garbage disposal at the beach. We can’t wait to go back.

Great space for quiet walks on winter beach + excellent kitchen space

Best things: Kitchen is roomy and stocked with everything (not edible) that we needed for group meals, with a gorgeous high-top table large enough for eight. Lots of outdoor space. Easy access to the beach and to the river. Excellent wi-fi! Key caveats: there are only three bathrooms + an outdoor shower. The ground floor room has a separate entrance, which could be great for privacy but meant that the person down there had to go outside (not so fun in winter) and run upstairs to join us or access the kitchen. Plan to bring: towels, bath mats, sheets (1 twin, 2 queen, 2 king), hand soap, dishwasher detergent, kitchen towels, etc. You can find extra bedspread/light comforters in the two rooms with king beds. If you don't have sheets, you can rent them from the housekeeper, who is terrific. Our experience: I was here with 4 friends for a writing retreat. The common area was too small for 5 people, so we spilled over to the kitchen table. The furniture was not really designed for all-day writing but is fine for a beach getaway. We'd love to stay here again in late autumn or early spring.

Gorgeous location between the Bay and the wildlife preserve

Family - ranging from age 10 to 72 - had a beautiful Thanksgiving week in this gorgeous spot, what an ideal location - right across the road from the Bay/beach, with the river/wildlife refuge in the back. My son loved the dock and even caught a few fish. House was warm and cozy. Amazing views from the master bedroom (though some might find the spiral staircase a bit tricky - my dog did!) and the grandparents loved having the ground floor suite to them selves (it was easy to get upstairs to the rest of the house via well-lit and partially covered back steps). The house is showing a bit of wear and tear but overall wonderful. The owners were very responsive to questions.
