Work & Play at Delaware Beach Bliss- Steps From The Beach & Freshly Remodeled!
Make great family memories at our sunny, freshly remodeled contemporary Broadkill Beach home near Lewes and Rehoboth, just steps from the beach with multiple work areas, solid internet, & working , wood-burning fireplace in large great room. Go back in time. Broadkill is pristine, private, and next to the Prime Hook Nature Preserve, with its great hiking and biking trails and birdwatching . Golf nearby too at the Rookery Public course.
Explore the area on our 4 adult and 2 child bikes (bring your helmets). Hike and bike Prime Hook Nature Preserve. Relax and enjoy our beach chairs, toys and umbrellas! Kayak or try your hand at stand up paddleboarding. Check out the sandbar at low tide and the bunches of tiny hermit crabs. At night by flashlight, low tide is a whole other experience! Make S'mores on the beach at night. Bring your fishing gear and grill your catch or simple fare on our large front deck using our gas grill. Our kitchen is well stocked with everything you need: stove, crock pot for easy meals, and a blender for smoothies! Just bring your fresh ingredients, linens, and paper products. There are great restaurants, free Wednesday night summer concerts in the park and antiquing in the cute town of Milton as well as inviting churches on Sunday morning. A little further afield, explore the lavendar farm, in full bloom in July, and lots of great shopping outlets.
Play games on our screened-in back porch. Rent a kayak or at the Broadkill Store and launch it at the beach or in the calm preserve waters for great bird and nature watching. Tour the eclectic, fun Dogfishhead Brewery and sample their brews including root beer for kids and the young at heart. Memories made here!
We are pet friendly for well-behaved, well-supervised pets. Our beach is pet friendly and also allows residents and guests to pull their vehicle right up to the water to launch their small craft, but you'd never guess it from how clean and peaceful it is! Sleep soundly in comfortable, new queen beds, comfortable full bed, and twin bunks with trundle. Rinse off in our outdoor shower or in one of the 2 full baths. Recharge at Delaware Beach Bliss!

Super lovely beach house
The house is beautiful and really suited our needs (2 couples, a 3 year old, 1.5 year old, and newborn infant), very close to the beach. Host was super kind and responded really fast to our requests to change the thermostat temp in the house, which ended up being the perfect temp for the rest of our stay

Great Family Beach House
We were very pleased with the beach house—spacious, easy access to the beach (100 steps to the path to the beach). Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped, lots of beach accessories available (umbrellas, sand chairs, beach toys). Recommend you plan your meals in advance and bring some food because the only story has very limited stock, and the larger grocery stores are 30 min away. The Broadkill beach is private, well maintained, clean sand, not crowded, gentle waves lap against the beach—great for families, safe for children. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!

House was perfect for us!
We loved this house. Plenty big for 6 adults and 3 kids. Close to the beach which the kids loved! House has all the amenities to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Would absolutely stay there again.

Disappointing
Describing this as "steps from the beach" is an exaggeration, as noted in some other reviews. There are two lots between the house and the beach access entrance, and the beach path borders a third property on the way to the beach. The closely cropped photo of this beach path (titled "our beach path") is misleading- this neighborhood use path to the beach is much longer than what is pictured.
Air conditioning for the house is uneven. The back bedroom on the first floor (with bunk bed) was hot and does not appear to have an A/C vent, while the other first floor bedroom was cold.
While the kitchen was well stocked and the queen beds comfortable, other aspects were in need of care. The floor of the large deck had peeling paint. The umbrella for the large outdoor table was broken and appeared to have been that way for a while. The blinds in the bunk bedroom were badly tattered.
The ground level storage was packed with equipment, not all of it in working condition. The kayak was great fun on the water, but the SUP couldn't be used because it took on water- looked like it was missing the drain plugs.
Furniture in the great room has been updated from the photos, but still only comfortably sits six adults.

Great family vacation beach house!
We really enjoyed this comfortable home for our family vacation. Great amenities including beach chairs, bikes, toys and umbrellas. Loved the beautiful and quiet private beach! Even jellyfish stings couldn’t dampen our enjoyment.

Great house and great stay!
We had a wonderful weekend at Broadkill beach - including because the house was great. It was large enough for two families, and was sunny and beachy. We were able to check in early, which we appreciated. The house is a short walk to the beach, which we basically had to ourselves in mid-April. Overall a terrific place to stay.

This property REALLY delivered!
From first contact through checkout, this was the best VRBO experience I've had as a renter. The owner communicated promptly and fully to each of my questions. The listing was accurate -- in fact the kitchen was even BETTER supplied than we expected! The pictures were helpful and accurate. The house is very comfortable, VERY nicely renovated, and the location ideal for beach access and a quiet, relaxing visit. We were there in March for an adult getaway of siblings and it was perfect. Warm one day, chilly the next, but the house was perfect for cooking, eating, lounging, talking, napping. Local walks were great. There was one previous negative comment and I can't imagine what those people expected or why they were unwilling to wait for answers to their concerns -- we found the owner AND the house to be wonderful. We give it the highest ratings.

A getting to know the area visit
Even though my visit was in the middle of a blizzard in January I still found the experience and communication with the owner exceptional. The house is lovely and very close to the beach. That does make it clear that you can't see the beach from the house and I would definitely take that into consideration as I tend to be one who really needs to see the water. Beyond that, it was a wonderful experience!
