About this property

Relaxing, Quiet, Secluded, Dog Friendly, Beach Home near Lewes and Rehobeth

A scenic, secluded getaway or place to work remotely for a change of scenery awaits you at Broadkill Beach. One of Delaware’s best kept secrets — “A Shore Thing” is head and shoulders above all other beach home rentals when it comes to a quiet, relaxing, low-key, beach vacation surrounded by nature's beauty. It's the perfect place to reunite with family, friends and nature.

Imagine waking each morning and enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee or practicing yoga while overlooking stunning views of the Primehook National Wildlife Refuge. Later, stroll down the home’s quiet beach road and over the dunes to bask in the natural beauty of Broadkill Beach. The low-key atmosphere is perfect for families with small children, those who enjoy vacationing with their pets, nature lovers, or those who just prefer quiet over crowds.

Read, relax, sunbath, swim, turn over stranded horseshoe crabs or take a walk south to Beach Plum Island State Park. Build sand castles or enjoy some surf fishing. Chill and listen to the sound of ocean waves from the homes numerous decks. In the evening, the home's large wrap-around deck and two screened porches provide views of beautiful sunsets and multiple places to enjoy dinner and cocktails with friends and family.

Many first time visitors compare Broadkill Beach’s remote feel to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but much smaller and with easier access to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia. When you vacation at “A Shore Thing” you can relish in sea-clusion, but still enjoy fine dining and nightlife only a short drive away in neighboring beach towns like Lewes and Rehoboth. If you like microbreweries there are many local favorites to be found or you can even take a ferry ride from Lewes to Cape May for the day. Walk the trails of Cape Henlopen from the woods to the beach to view Cape Henlopen Light. Give the kids a break from the beach and spend a fun day at a water park or schedule a group kayak tour.

Golfers will enjoy an outing at the championship Rookery Course located only minutes away from Broadkill Beach. It features four sets of tees for golfers of all ages and a grass driving range. While golfers golf, shoppers can shop tax free until they drop at the Tanger Outlets. And, don’t forget to take a short walk, bike ride or drive to the Broadkill General Store for handmade donuts, breakfast sandwiches, pizza, sandwiches, ice cream, souvenirs or other essentials.

The home is located on a dead end road which backs to the Prime Hook National Nature Refuge. It is only 7 houses (3 minute walk) to the beach on a sand packed road. The home offers an open concept with lots of living space for everyone to spread out or come together. Here you will find a large den, family and dining room with breakfast bar and tables, along with a fully-equipped kitchen. The living room is equipped with a large plasma TV, and an additional TV in the den will be ready to hook up your game console. A wireless network is available throughout the house along with premium cable channels. Board games, books, videos and some toys for kids. A large game room with ping-pong and foosball tables provide additional entertainment for kids of all ages anytime of the day or night.

This vacation home has four bedrooms (one king bed, two queen beds, and a twin over full bunk bed) to comfortably sleep 8, plus a queen, pull out sofa in the den. There are two full baths and an outdoor shower. The home has central air, as well as ceiling fans throughout the house.

Driveway parking with space for up to four vehicles and an enclosed garage to keep beach supplies at night. A fenced side yard is available to keep your pets contained and safe, when you are not taking long walks with them on the beach. Well-behaved dog(s) accompanied by a responsible owner are welcome upon approval with pet fee & signed addendum.

We invite you to go all in with a “A Shore Thing” for your next vacation.

Awesome, relaxing place
We have rented this beautiful home three years and booked again for next year, well maintained. The owners are always there for any questions/responses. We have stayed 6 homes and this is our favorite.

Absolutely fantastic!!
The house was even nicer than we expected. Excellent space, and the hosts had thought of everything. It was large, well-organized, and comfortable. Exactly what a beach rental should be. We had a fun, beachy, and memorable week here.

Beautiful home!
The home was beautiful and well equipped for our fur babies! The owners were super responsive. And the home was appointed with details to make the stay enjoyable. We appreciated the quiet of Broadkill Beach and the fact that the beach wasn’t over crowded. ☺️ Would absolutely stay again!

Another Great Stay
This is our 2nd year at this house and another great stay!! The house is clean, well stocked and has lots of space for hanging out as a family, but also spreading out as needed! Patti is very easy to communicate with and very quick to reply. If you’ve never stayed in Broadkill before be aware that it can get quite buggy at times, which is why we really enjoy having access to 2 screen porches. The beach wagon made the short walk to the beach a breeze and not having to bring our own chairs, etc saves lots of car space. We brought our dog along and the fenced in yard was perfect for letting her explore while also keeping her contained. We will continue to stay at this property again and again!
