Ask a questionAbout Tess Wald
Our family has been in love with Broadkill since 1985. We finally realized our dream come true when we made our first Broadkill purchase in 2004. This house, Beachfront Tranquility, right on the water, we purchased in 2007 and find it to be the place where you can leave the world behind and truly getaway.
Tess Wald purchased this House in 2007
Why Tess Wald chose Broadkill Beach
We love the water. Hands down. And this property, right on the beach and the water is our dream come true. No matter what the weather there is always something to watch out of all the windows. Once we walk through the front door the rest of the world just fades away and we feel on a retreat. Yet, we are so close to lots of stores, restaurants, activities and historic adventures. That's a glimpse into why we love this property and wish to share it with you.
What makes this House unique
I can see and hear the beach from every room. We are literally right on the beach and water. Our wide, flat, beach is great for all types of beach games. The warm water has a sandy bottom and stays shallow for hundreds of feet; perfect for all ages. Our sunroom, an additional room filled with windows, is my private refuge.
