About this property

Adorable 2BR/2BA Beach Cottage with Separate 1BR/1BA Cottage

Wouldn't it be nice for you to stay at a cottage that is a two-minute walk to the beach? You can find that if you stay at Calypso Cottage. You can hear the sound of the waves as you relax on the front patios' Adirondack chairs.
Calypso Cottage is unique in that it will offer you privacy when traveling with friends or extended family by having a second cottage on the property.
You enter into the main cottage by way of the bright, comfortable sunroom. As you enter, there is a great space to store your extra ice chests and coolers. From the sunroom, you enter into the main living area that encompasses the kitchen, dining, and living room. A small hallway gives you access to a full bath, a Master bedroom on the left and a twin bedroom on the right. The Master Bedroom will give you a queen bed and a full private bath. When you walk into the twin room you have a closet to hang your clothes and a trundle bed where you can pull out a second twin bed.
Walking out the back door, you follow the deck around to the side door of the cottage. You pass by a refreshing outdoor hot/cold shower where you can wash off the sand and sea from the day's outing.
You enter the second cottage through a small foyer, into a full bath, that leads to a spacious bedroom with a queen bed.
When you need to have some private time to yourself this cottage is a retreat. You have your own mini-frig, sink, and coffee pot for your use.
A small shed stores items to make your beach adventure more enjoyable. There are beach chairs, an umbrella, beach toys, a wagon and firewood available for your use.

*** Please Make Note of the following***
Towels and Linens are not provided

Broadkill Beach is located in the National Prime Hook Preserve. It is a great area for swimming without waves, biking, kayaking, paddle boarding and taking walks on the beach. Broadkill is located about 20 minutes north of Lewes and all the major shopping outlets.

Great beach stay
We really enjoyed our stay at calypso cottage. The home was great for me, my husband, our 2 year old child and our dog. The location and proximity to the beach was perfect! The beach itself was nice and quiet, and dog friendly. The neighborhood is also very nice to walk/bike. Broadkill beach is a little off the beaten path so the nearest stores (with the exception of the broadkill store) and town is about a 10-15 minute drive, which for us was fine. You can also venture to nice restaurants in Lewes, which was about 20 minutes away. The home was clean and well equipped. The bonus cottage was a nice plus as well. The only negative was the bugs. Even with lots of bug spray I still ended up getting eaten up. Regardless , I definitely still recommend calypso cottage and would love to visit again next summer!

Cute beach cottage
Adorable cottage, well maintained and super clean! Steps from very quiet and dog friendly beach. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and the suite out back was great for extra privacy. Host was great with communication. Definitely pack some bug spray, as others have mentioned. We came prepared. The area is quiet but close enough to Lewes/Rehoboth if looking for activities. We enjoyed taking the ferry from Lewes to Cape May for a day.

Adorable & Clean
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The quest cottage was perfect for our son & daughter-in-law with a young baby. Quick easy walk to the dog friendly beach. Very clean and lots of little things that made the vacay enjoyable - games for rainy day, beach chairs, bikes, etc.

About the host

Hosted by Nannette Jones

Host profile image
I grew up in Milton, and spent most of the summer months on the beaches in Lewes and Cape Helopen. My husband, a native born Delawarian, first learned to love the water and beaches through our travels and then by learning to fish on the shores of Cape Helopen. We both agreed that we wanted a get-away place with a view of the sand and the sea. Not wanting to have to travel to far, we decided to buy a place in Delaware. We hope you will enjoy Calypso Cottage as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Calypso Cottage is a cute cottage that almost fronts Broadkill beach. Broadkill Beach is a long strip of land with Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge on one side and the Delaware bay on the other. Because it is basically one road, with a dead end at the north and south, it is a very chill and private beach, worlds away from Rehoboth or Dewey. At the entrance to the Broadkill neighborhood is the Broadkill Store which sells the basics for a beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

Calypso Cottage has two cottages on the property, the main cottage and then the back cottage that has its own ambiance and privacy for extended family or friends.
