About this property

Primehaven- A wonderful retreat in this unique bayside village!

  • Welcome to paradise! Primehaven, in Primehook Beach, DE is back to nature with all the comforts of home. Out the back door you have an open deck with beautiful views of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, great for bird watching and relaxing as the evening sun sets in the west. Out front you enjoy a beautiful sunrise and are just steps away from two entrances to a dog-friendly, not crowded beach on the Delaware Bay. Yes, our house is pet friendly with a pet fee (please make sure you count your pet on your search for open dates)!

    Primehaven is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy time with family and friends. The house is a recently built (2012), 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 large kitchen, all with views of the wildlife refuge. This level also includes a queen bedroom suite with a full bath, a laundry room and powder room.

    The second bedroom is actually a large second floor loft overlooking the first floor as well as the wildlife refuge. It has an open architecture as well, has a queen and two single beds and a trundle bed, and an office area (but who wants to work?), and of course, a full bath. Windows on the east side provide an overview of the bay and the community and to the west look over the beautiful refuge.

    Family meals? The house has a well equipped kitchen and a dining area. We do not have a dish washer but do provide paper places if you don't want to wash the dishes! Beach toys? The house 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. Please keep in mind that this is a private beach and is not a groomed beach.

    Notes-
    1. The TV in the cottage is a smart TV. Should you desire, you may use your Netflix, Hulu (etc) account on that TV. Please make sure you sign out of your account before you leave!

    2. We do not provide linens. Please bring 2 sets of queen sheets, 3 twin sets for beds and a queen-ish set if you plan to use the pull out couch and towels for the bath and beach. If you prefer to rent them please visit 227rent.com and they can drop off and pick up anything you will need.

This home is very nice and inviting. The views of the marsh are spectacular and there is even a view of the bay from the upstairs loft area! We loved watching the sunsets on the porch and taking walks on the beach. The owners of this property were great and responded very quickly to our questions. My husband and I had a wonderful time.

Lovely Property - Great View

This was our second stay at Primehaven. We enjoyed it just as much as last year. The house is beautifully maintained and well provisioned. The ability to sit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful view of the marsh is a big part of what keeps us coming back.

Quiet, calming and all about nature;)

We love PH- and the simplicity of the place- in fact we are building there over the next 18-24 months- but wanted to enjoy the place - and this house is perfect for us and our two pups- stocked with everything, great views- for a smaller home- the space is used very well-easy walking and biking - only 6 miles to a wonderful town with everything you need- We love it- definitely will stay again in this lovely beach cottage!

Peaceful Paradise

Beautiful home just as promised. Awesome hosts who answered questions very quickly! The home was clean, with thoughtful provisions and well stocked kitchen. The outdoor view is spectacular especially if you like Great Blue Herons. The neighbors were so friendly. A beautiful retreat situated on the edge of nature at its best. A must stay! We loved it and will be back!

Amazing Wildlife Refuge View

We really enjoyed our stay at PrimeHaven. Everything at the house was clean and fresh even though we were there at the end of the season. It’s one of the best appointed houses we’ve ever stayed in. They really have thought of everything. The pictures posted provide an accurate depiction of the house, but I was bowled over by the expansive view from the deck. It’s the perfect place for morning coffee/tea, birdwatching, and enjoying the spectacular sunsets.

Primehaven was Prime Heaven!

If you are looking to for peace and quiet, Primehaven is your ticket! Situated in a nature preserve, you just need to take your binoculars out on the back deck to birdwatch and enjoy nature. The sunsets are beautiful and the bay beach is just across the street to watch the sunrises. The house was VERY clean and stocked with everything needed for a relaxing stay, but it is just a short drive to Milton, Lewes and all the more typical beachy places for ice cream, breakfast or a good meal. We will be back!

Thoughtful hosting stunning scenery

The cottage was beautiful and well kept. Stunning views of the natural preserve that afforded for breathtaking sunsets. From the second story loft area, you could see the bay and the ocean . Due to the time of year(sun placement) I watched a semi obstructed view of the sunrise each morning. Truly, stunning. The house had all the necessary and mostly brand name household items one would need, soaps, foils, storage bags, trashbags, wipes, etc. Along with all the traditional items like a roasting pan, baking sheets, etc. I'm not doing it justice, they had everything I could think of that I would need, except maybe a kettle. It really felt like i was staying at a friend's house. The beds were comfortable and had a bed topper on them for added comfort. They squeaked a bit but not enough to wake you up. The couch was comfortable to nap on, although we didn't pull the mattress out. The additional seating in the living room was odd - looked like waiting room chairs. But my group didn't need them, we happily sat on the couch and lounge chair. The three walk-in showers (including outside) had great water pressure! The bedroom and bathroom doors are pocket doors - a brilliant use of space. The weather was cool during our visit. So opening up the back deck and the windows creates a wonderful relaxing cross breeze. A great visit at a great house! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This was our second stay at this property. It is Clean, a 1 min walk to the beach and we had great communication with the host. The 4th of July parade is always a good time. Husband and kids love to fish from the beach. Even the dog had a great time! We will keep coming back.

This is a beautiful comfortable house with a fantastic kitchen next to a pretty quiet beach. We got several gorge sunsets on the back deck over the view of the marsh. We loved staying there. The open plan bedroom on the second floor makes the place feel spacious.
