From the porch, walk out onto the expansive deck and the see the sun’s reflection on the Delaware Bay as it rises, saying “Good morning” to Broadkill Beach. Head down a few steps for direct, immediate beach access and start your day with an invigorating run, walk, or bike ride on the sandy beach. Refresh yourself with a swim in the bay or come back to the house to rinse off in the outdoor shower.

Lovely Beach house

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay here for the second time. The house was perfect for us in size and location, we loved being able to step right out to the beach. The house had everything we needed to stay in and cook but it is also so convenient to many restaurants and activities for the kids. It was a great stay for all of us.

WONDERFUL BEACH GETAWAY

We stayed for a long weekend at the Blue Pearl with my parents, my husband and 3 children. The house was the perfect size for all of us. It was very clean and the furniture was all comfortable. The beach was very private, beautiful, and easily accessible. We would definitely stay at the Blue Pearl again!

The house was beautiful and perfectly situated with amazing views

Monica was available via phone whenever we needed her. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and located right on the beach. The beach was private and we had so much space for our kids to run and play. We had a blast with all the fun beach toys as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better time!

Peaceful Oasis!

My family has stayed at a variety of houses in Broadkill Beach over the years, and this was the first house that took our breath away! The view from the living room/kitchen is the best - we watched the waves and the clouds and the sun and the thunderstorm. The house had everything we needed to cook meals, it was clean and exactly as described. Monica was proactive and responsive when communicating with us - I felt very prepared going to her property. We plan to return for another long weekend - it was just what our family needed!

Relaxing Retirement Celebration Weekend

My family rented Monica's lovely (and DIRECTLY on the beach) home to celebrate our dad's retirement. It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend filled with long walks on the quiet shoreline, lots of seashell collecting, and delicious seafood from town nearby. Monica was super communicative and even offered to have us check-in early since the home was available! It was the perfect size for our group of 6. The two deck spaces (screened-in and exposed) were where we spent most of our time. And the kitchen had more than just the "essentials" which was great for us since we love to cook.

Great family spot

We had a wonderful time at the Blue Pearl! We’ve been to Broadkill three times now, and this was our favorite house we have rented so far. The location is fantastic, with such a short walk to the beach, and the views from the back deck are perfection. We had great weather, with only one or two days that were extremely hot and buggy (but when you rent so close to the nature preserve, you know to expect this). The water was all the relief we needed. And with such a private beach, this turned out to be a great place during the pandemic, which we of course couldn’t have known was going to be the case when we booked it last winter. I’m sure we’ll be back.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We truly enjoyed this beach house. It was exactly as advertised and CLEAN. Furniture was comfortable and everything we needed in a kitchen to make most of our meals at the house. The deck was perfect with a wonderful view. Literally steps over the dune to walk the beach. Lovely neighborhood and quiet. A/C that worked perfectly. Owner was responsive and a pleasure to work with. We lucked out with amazing weather but even if we hadn't, it would not have mattered. We will be back again!

The dream - peaceful, beautiful, quiet, clean

When we first booked this vacation, we were excited to be somewhere quiet and beautiful. We wanted to be somewhere where we could rest as a family and just BE together. This beach house was the perfect place for us. It was clean, with a well-stocked kitchen. The owners just installed new floors and put a fresh coat of paint on the walls. You can tell this is their home and that they try to take good care of it. The super short jump over the small dunes to the beach made it so much more accessible for us to carry our physically disabled daughter. And the views from the windows in the family room and kitchen were just breathtaking. But what really made this rental a memorable one was Monica. She was not just responsive and easy to communicate with. Her kindness and hospitality made this stay an especially memorable one. I will never forget the way she worked so hard to make exhuasted special needs family feel supported and welcomed at her beach house. Thank you, Pearls, for a vacation that rested our bodies and fed our spirits.

Girls Getaway

Four of us "senior" ladies had an absolutely lovely time. The house was as depicted -- no surprises there; clean; spacious; awesome view of the bay. Spent a lot of time on the deck; quiet beach. Nearby Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk and Milton Theater provided nice excursions. Looking forward to repeating the experience!

About the host

Hosted by Monica Pearl

Host profile image
We live in Baltimore, Maryland and love to escape to our home, "The Blue Pearl," on Broadkill Beach. It is our sanctuary where we can relax and forget about our daily worries. We love the close proximity to busy Lewes and Rehoboth, but cherish the beautiful and quiet times we spend in Broadkill. The town of Milton has a grocery store, park, library, ice cream shop, and a few restaurants. The beach is never crowded and you have your own personal space on the beach without having to battle the sea of beach umbrellas. Broadkill Beach is delightful.
