  a guest from Collegeville, PA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We rented in early autumn. Two of us (in our 60's) with our pup. The place is surrounded by pine trees but right on the beach so a short walk through the dunes with excellent beach access. The home is older and has not been updated much. The exterior is shabby in spots. The interior is ok with 4 BR and a screened in enclosed porch. Kitchen is equipped but the overhead light was not working. The beds were just ok. Main living area has a large TV and cable with access to your own streaming apps if you want. Wireless internet worked fine. The two working sliders on the porch had torn screens and were taped but bugs came in at night. Bring your bug spray for the beach and property as mosquitoes are under the pine trees and biting flies on the beeach but expected since it is directly across from the marsh as is all of Broadkill Beach. The closest grocery and liquor store is Food Lion in Milton 15 min away. The Broadkill Store is open in the summer only. We could not use the propane grill as it was in terrible condition and honestly needs to be replaced. People use the grill on beach vacations- we could not unfortunately.

  Nina K from Easton, PA recommends this vacation rental

  The view was great, the sunroom was so nice. Beds weren't the best. The grill was on it's last leg and in bad shape, barely usable. Jellyfish were everywhere and my husband and son got stung within 5 minutes of going in the ocean, but that was just bad luck, not the renters fault. Warm waters bring jellyfish we learned. Kitchen was ok, standard rental quality, dull knives an whatnot. Beds were not good, but also standard rental quality. Distance from beach was amazing. A lot of mosquitoes, so sunroom was important. Could use a sprucing up, but not terrible.

  • Manager Responded on 8/19/2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful views, peaceful sunroom, and especially the amazing proximity to the beach. We’re sorry to hear that the jellyfish made for an unpleasant ocean experience, though we appreciate you recognizing that this was beyond the property’s control. We also appreciate your honest comments about the beds, grill, kitchen supplies, and overall condition of the home. We’ll share these observations with the appropriate teams so we can address areas that may need attention and continue improving the guest experience. Thank you again for staying with us and for helping us identify opportunities to make the home even better. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again! Lewes Rental Team

  This house was great! Tucked behind the trees you almost didn't notice it was there. The location was perfect, you could enjoy the beach all day from the top deck or walk right out to the beach. The rooms upstairs were comfortable and clean. And the sun porch is a great place to cozy down and relax. The doors are a little tight to open but every house has its quirks.
  But absolutely perfect hoping to stay again!

  • Manager Responded on 9/29/2025

    Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We love that you appreciated the house's private setting—being tucked behind the trees yet still having the perfect beach access from the top deck is what makes it so special. It's great to hear you enjoyed the comfortable, clean rooms and found the sun porch a relaxing place to unwind. We're making a note about the doors and will have our maintenance team check them out to ensure they glide smoothly for your next stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again! Lewes Rental Team

  Jacqueline H from Philadelphia, PA recommends this vacation rental

  This house is in an excellent location for easily accessing and enjoying a quiet beach, biking up and down Bayshore drive, and driving into Milton and Lewes for more activities and restaurants. The house is older but was sufficient for a family with 6 adults and 2 little ones under 6. Appliances all seemed pretty new but beds not comfy at all. Plenty of kids toys and beach gear available. Pack bug spray.

  Heidi M from Silver Spring, MD does not recommend this vacation rental.

  [9 adult guests, very hot week of July with a couple of rainy days, lots of home cooking]
  
  This house has a great location literally 1 minute from the Delaware Bay beach, a good layout (which is a little hard to figure out from the photos) and great functionality. Its combination of indoor and outdoor spaces and excellent amenities (kitchen gear, games & beach equipment, TV/wifi, etc) is outstanding, BUT--
  
  there were a couple of big disappointments. The living room furniture and decor look like they've recently been updated, but the best room of the house, the beach-facing screened porch (sunroom), is kind of a mess. There's clouding between the double-glazed sliders, bird **** and cobwebs in the screens, algae on the inside of the railings (some of which are cracked and sagging), and sitting on the sofa is like sinking into a bathtub! This porch is also the only dining area for a big group. The table and benches are nice and new, but we found it hard to enjoy sitting out there to eat as a family due to the condition of the porch structure. (Also, technically the house sleeps 10 but you can't easily seat 10 at this table.) I would not rent this house again until the sunroom is fixed.
  
  The second big detractor from a comfortable vacation was the condition of the upstairs beds. The mattresses were all different (and obviously people's preferences are all different), but each bed was uncomfortable in a different way, and half our party had disturbed sleep because of uncomfortable beds.
  
  Early in our stay we had a blocked toilet in the downstairs bathroom; I made a call to the agent and their guy came out and fixed it within 6 hours--that was very important for an older member of our party who couldn't manage the stairs. We were thankful for that!
  
  A couple of additions that would be a big help:
  *umbrella on upper deck
  *clothesline in the carport for wet towels etc
  *screen slider for middle bedroom upstairs--the ho

  Very disappointed and a disaster! Was an insult the owner only offered 100 as compensation. Will never rent this property again!

  • Manager Responded on 1/29/2025

    We are sorry the bugs were so bad. Prior to and during your stay, the area has been fraught with extreme numbers of flies in our beach towns. Given the location on the bay with the refuge on the back side, Broadkill and Primehook Beaches have seen the worst of them. The winds, when coming from the land, make the bugs worse. Most often, the area has a bay breeze which keeps them away.

  Lovely beachfront home with stunning views! Well equipped kitchen and comfy couch in living room for enjoying the big screen TV. Although it rained almost every day, we still had a wonderful time. One small suggestion; the bedrooms could use more drawer space.

  Matt and Tracy S from Pittsburgh, PA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Since the home was built in 1985, understandably there was some outdated features. Windows, Bathroom tub and carpeting especially. The screened in sun room offered a great view but the screen doors were tapped up with duck tape and could not be opened. The sliding glass doors were very dirty and the white couch could not be sat on. Concerned of the integrity of the home as it swayed and shook when the storm hit. I did some research and that could be a structural issue. When you went up the stairs the king bed shook as well. All the mattresses were old and need replaced. The outside grill was fine, but the storm took it flying down the front stairs! Pleased with the kitchen and the great room with new couch and large flat screen. The outside of the home needs some updating, there is a lot of paint chipping. The car port and outdoor shower were a mess. The accessibility to the beach was nice and easy to maneuver. Left a day early due to the increased winds and rain. Could not sleepy in the home another night.

  • Manager Responded on 1/30/2025

    It sounds like your stay had some major pros and cons. It's great that you enjoyed the kitchen and great room with the new couch and big screen, plus the accessibility to the beach. But, it sounds like there were a lot of issues with the house itself, especially regarding structural concerns, outdated features, and maintenance issues. The storm seemed to really highlight some of the home's vulnerabilities, like the shaking and the unstable feeling on the stairs and the king bed. That’s definitely concerning. The broken screen doors, dirty sliding glass doors, and old mattresses are definitely signs the place might need a serious update and maintenance work. I'm guessing you were hoping for a relaxing stay, but those concerns would definitely make it hard to enjoy your time there. It’s a shame you had to leave early, but I totally understand why you'd feel that way with the storm and your concerns about the integrity of the home. The issues were presented to the owner and he has been making positive changes based on such feedback.

  Great proximity to beach. House was clean however there did not seem to be enough fire alarms and outdoor steps seemed unsafe. There was not enough storage to unpack so we had to buy extra hangers which we left for the next renters. Furniture and bedding was uncomfortable.

  • Manager Responded on 1/31/2025

    Thanks for sharing your feedback! It's great to hear that the house was clean and close to the beach. However, it sounds like there are a few areas that could use some attention. The lack of fire alarms and safety concerns with the outdoor steps definitely need to be addressed, as those are important for safety. It’s unfortunate that there wasn’t enough storage for your things, but it’s nice that you thought to leave extra hangers for the next guests. The furniture and bedding being uncomfortable is also something to keep in mind for future stays. We appreciate your input and use your feedback to make improvements!
