Only a few steps to the beach. The cottage has a fun beach vibe. Kitchen well-stocked. Beds comfy. There is a separate extra suite in the back that we didn’t use, but would be nice if traveling with a larger group. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Joyce M.

Second, we loved the location-quiet, uncrowded, water/beach was perfect for swimming, lounging, reading and relaxing although we didn’t have much luck fishing during our stay. I highly recommend Calypso Cottage and Broadkill Beach for the perfect vacation to get away from it all! Can’t wait to return! ##### Christine S.

Nannette really thought of everything to make this place feel like home. Super clean and fun, inviting beach colors and decor. The bonus guest house is perfect for those who may want their separate space, but still be close by. It was really nice to have access to the bikes as well. Owner was responsive to questions and checked on us as well. The beach is a very short walk, as is the small store. We loved our time here! ##### Colleen D.

The house had everything we needed. I appreciated how dog friendly the house was. Our old gal Roxy enjoyed herself very much. My only negative remark would be the kitchen needs a few more large serving/mixing bowls as well as larger cereal/salad bowls. I realize that most people don’t cook on vacation but I do. I ran out of large bowls for fruit salad, pasta salads I had made for our stay. But that’s me, I’m a cook even on vacation. Nannette was so responsive, she checked in with us to make sure we checked in with no problem. We’ve stayed in many rentals, in the US and Ireland and this is in my top 10\. I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself. Beach was extremely quiet at this time of year which was different but nice. Looking forward to returning again to stay. ![Our gal Roxy. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1018499d-9b06-4fb7-80b4-0fda6fb11c03-1757503290533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d40b98f3-a3f0-459e-a2bf-c4c9cf0c02db-1757503288426.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2bf38a18-ef8d-4a22-95af-26aab9b7fe9f-1757503289332.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### greta w.

Loved the separate cottage like in-law suite. Allowed some down time and privacy. Location was a short drive to Lewis, DE and perfect for nature lovers. The step down to the beach is a bit washed out, just have to watch your steps. However there is a public entrance a few blocks away and a small store to grab ice cream and a sandwiches. ##### Edith A.

Steps from very quiet and dog friendly beach. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and the suite out back was great for extra privacy. Host was great with communication. Definitely pack some bug spray, as others have mentioned. We came prepared. The area is quiet but close enough to Lewes/Rehoboth if looking for activities. We enjoyed taking the ferry from Lewes to Cape May for a day. ##### elaine 2. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison C. 13 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great beach stay We really enjoyed our stay at calypso cottage. The home was great for me, my husband, our 2 year old child and our dog. The location and proximity to the beach was perfect! The beach itself was nice and quiet, and dog friendly. The neighborhood is also very nice to walk/bike. Broadkill beach is a little off the beaten path so the nearest stores (with the exception of the broadkill store) and town is about a 10-15 minute drive, which for us was fine. You can also venture to nice restaurants in Lewes, which was about 20 minutes away. The home was clean and well equipped. The bonus cottage was a nice plus as well. The only negative was the bugs. Even with lots of bug spray I still ended up getting eaten up. Regardless , I definitely still recommend calypso cottage and would love to visit again next summer! ##### Allison C.

It was everything we were hoping for and expecting. The weather was still perfect for lazy beach days. The property was perfect for us, especially as a couple with a friend. The separate suite was so nice for us to have privacy but still be able to come together as a group when we wanted to. I love the beach here, it’s quiet and cozy and great for fur family members. Lots of dog centric locals who weren’t bothered by friendly greetings from my wet and sandy Aussie. The house was incredibly clean, perfectly outfitted with all the necessities, all the modern touches, but still retaining all the retro charm you could ask for. Nannette was super communicative, incredibly responsive and available, and the keyless check in was a breeze. 10/10 we will absolutely be back. ##### Cody S.

Lots of thoughtful amenities and the house was well maintained and clean. The smaller unit behind the main one is a nice option for a larger party. ##### Diane C.

Having the secondary cottage on the same property was the perfect setup for travelling with family. The attention to detail was phenomenal; little signs that described how to use the showers, which cabinet doors were permanently fixed so you knew not to try to open them, recommendations on plugging in one appliance at a time so the breaker doesn't trip, etc. We had a fantastic experience and the location was amazing! Nannette (the host) was extremely responsive and helpful, even recommended things for us to do with our kiddos. Would definitley stay here again! ![Beautiful moonrise over the Delaware Bay from the beach.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/605c7ac8-bad7-4a28-a0f5-7444836976d3-1760371931567.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### James F.

Owner made sure the check-in process was smooth. We had a great time exploring the area. ##### Jinri H.
