Spacious open floor plan with plenty of sunshine and room to relax. Features full screened in porch with open decks on the front and back of the cottage.

Easy communication and check in/check out. Great location and house was lovely. We really enjoyed our stay. Only one minor complaint was the bugs come in through the deck boards on the screened deck but they do provide citronella candles which helps. Thank you for sharing your house with us Lawsons!
Amid all the over building and extravagance taking over Broadkill, this house stands by its origins. With enough updating to be super comfortable. Thank you , Lawsons!
Visited for spring break. Lovely, practical, property, just as advertised. Kitchen was very well stocked with all equipment needed for cooking and baking. Plenty of games and books. Hammock was an unexpected addition. Perfect for a family getaway with older kids (ages 8-15). Direct access to the beach. Spent hours walking and playing on the beach. WouldLove to visit again.
The rental was very clean, location right next to the Bay was great, and would definitely consider a future rental with the Lawsons. Thanks for a great vacation week!
The house location is absolutely perfect and the views are stunning and unobstructed! Our family enjoyed our stay and found the house to have everything it states and more! We look forward to returning and staying again.
Great cottage….
Beautiful sunrises and great walks on the beach…
We did have issues with gnats in the house, but other than that had a great time . The dogs had a great time as well.
Thank you so much!
The Lawson property reminded us of beach cottages from our childhoods, in a good way. It is charming and cozy while having all the comforts of home. The beach was easily accessible and we had a great time.
Wonderful unpretentious beach cottage on the bay, nice calm water unlike the ocean, our dog loved every minute of it. Nice and intimate size, not too big, and super comfortable.. Very clean and fresh- smelling,, no must idyrs
What a wonderful cottage on the bay! Peaceful setting, wonderful screened in porch and direct access to the beach. A relaxing week…. Thank you so much for having us
We loved this house and our stay! Everything in the listing was accurate, and the house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We loved having breakfast on the screened in porch every morning, being right on the beach, and even saw dolphins one day from the house! We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful time in Broadkill this year. The home was perfect for our family! It was extremely clean. The outdoor shower and multiple hoses around the property are perfect for getting cleaned off after a day at the beach. Todd was very responsive to our questions prior to and during our stay. We hope to be back again!
Our two couples and a lab enjoyed a beautiful Spring weekend beachside. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped, the owner Todd quite accommodating. We saw dolphins and enjoyed exquisite sunsets from the deck. We saw few people on the beach and enjoyed long walks. We enjoyed ourselves immensely!
Wonderful, well-appointed older beachhouse with delightful screened deck & expansive bay views. Great communication and quick response from owners. We hope to return in coming years.
The listing was just like the listing was represented online. The cottage was clean and the furniture was comfortable. The screened in porch was very nice to sit and listen to the waves. The cottage is steps from the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. We would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything was as expected as we stayed here last year. Will be back again. Todd was readily available to provide advice/assistance if necessary. That is very reassuring.

About the host
Hosted by The Lawsons
This is a family owned cottage that we stay in when we do not rent it during the season. The cottage is "well loved" and great for families looking to chill out at the beach, read a book, or enjoy appetizers on the porch. The cottage is not huge, perfect size for a family of 6-8 people. It has one bathroom so that is always a pinch point. But you can't beat the access...we are right at the edge of the dune. 30 seconds and you're at the water's edge.
