Relaxing

The location was great and the house was small and quaint. The fenced in yard was very nice for our pups.It had all the amenities however if you’re planning on cooking, the stove is very tiny and out dated. There is an outside second bathroom, which was very convenient for showering after the beach. It could have been cleaned a little bit better because there were tumbleweeds of dog hair from previous renter under the beds. Overall, it was a nice beach cottage.

Perfect getaway

My dog and I had a great time here. The beach is right in the backyard, and we didn't bump into any other people. The home is one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in, and Suzy was very communicative. Would definitely come back again!

Rejuvenating Getaway

The cottage, beach, and community were just what I needed after an especially stressful spring. The house was clean and bright and cheery. Being right on the beach reminded me of childhood summers at my uncle's cottage in Slaughter Beach.

The beach house was very clean and in a great location, in a quiet private area which we enjoyed very much. We drove to Dewey, Bethany and Rehoboth beaches during the week which were not too far away and it was nice to return to a quiet place to relax. The beach is a very short walk from the house which is a plus but it is not cleaned so there are biting flies making it hard to sit on the beach for very long. The house itself is nice and clean and welcoming. kitchen cupboards could use a refresh and organizing after being rented out, perhaps a new set of fry pans. We enjoyed our stay and with a couple updates it’d be perfect!

Peaceful beach

We had a great stay at Suzy’s on Primehook Beach with our dog. The house is right on the beach and is in a very quiet neighborhood. Our dog loved swimming in the bay and watching the horseshoe crabs. Saw very few people on the beach during our stay. House had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Suzy was very communicative and sent us all of the info that we needed before our trip. One tip: make sure to write down the Wi-Fi information before you arrive at the house. There is very limited cellular service, so we were unable to access the VRBO app and had to drive back to the coastal highway to get a signal to retrieve the WiFi info.

Great spot for a relaxing week with the dogs

We had a wonderful week here. We loved the big room with windows on the beach and the swooping and calling gulls. We saw a pod of dolphins going by once. It's a calm, quiet beach, great for walking and exploring. The fenced yard was a gift for our dogs, who love being outside whenever possible.Prime Hook Beach is a small residential community -- I walked every inch of it several times with the dogs. :-) We've stayed in Lewes in the past, and so drove there a couple times to visit our favorite restaurants. Groceries are about a 12 minute drive away.

Adorable House on a Quiet Beach

We really enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the beach. The house met all of our expectations and was a perfect size for 3 adults, a toddler, and a dog. The beach was delightfully dog welcoming! Milton, DE is the cutest little town with so many cute businesses, restaurants, breweries and a sweet little playground.

Perfect relaxing getaway

This charming cottage is ideal for a peaceful getaway. If you’re looking to avoid crowds and noise, this is the perfect spot. It’s conveniently situated near Rehoboth and other beaches, offering a balance of accessibility and tranquility. We thoroughly enjoyed strolls along the beach and discovered fascinating information about the horseshoe crabs that inhabit the area. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay! I would book this again. This location is a private area so the only people you see are people who live there or visiting, no extra visitors. We were their early June and it is horseshoe crab time. Which was cool to see. They are out early morning and late evening. I share because we did not want to go in the water with them around. My husband shore fished. He caught some crab but also got a string ray. He thinks he had 2 shark on but we are not sure, the line was cut completely. The house had everything we needed to enjoy some downtime as a family.If you want a quiet and relaxing time, book here! If you want a location with lots of people and action, I would book elsewhere because this is not your place.

This place was perfect for us. The sunroom facing the dunes and ocean was idyllic. We had tremendous views and enjoyed sunrise every morning. We appreciated the cleanliness of the home and thoughtfulness of the host with things like coffee filters, etc. We look forward to booking there again. Thank you for sharing your lovely seaside home.

About the host

Hosted by Suzy Schurman

My family loves Prime Hook Beach. We have many fond memories of our visits and exploring the area. The kids are now grown, and their busy schedules keep us from returning to the beach each summer. We hope you will make this your home away from home each summer!
I have a new operations manager, Suzy Schurman who loves this property as much as I do. She has a lot of energy and is great with working with people. I’ve asked her to include a little about herself.

I am an Olympian, Mother, Wife & Animal lover. Just like many of you, life gets very hectic & challenging. My family & I vacationed at Ed’s cottage in Prime Hook and didn’t want to leave. We loved this secluded area & cottage so much we decided to purchase it. We want to carry on Ed,s tradition of hassle free, pet friendly & honesty. Ed & I will jointly share this transition so that I can get to know you all and make your vacation memorable. I look forward in seeing you here soon.😊

“Prime Hook, the best kept secret”

Why they chose this property

This is a natural preserved beach with no retail, hustle or bustle. We have a private secluded beach and a completely new fenced in yard for our animal lovers. There are farm stands, antique stores minutes away. We are close to all of the tourist resorts such as Lewes, Rehoboth, Bethany, Dewey, Fenwick Island, and Ocean City. We are about a 20-minute drive from the Cape May Ferry (you watch the ferry cross to Cape May from Delaware on the beach), and about 20 minutes to the Casino in Harrington. The best part of our beach when you are here is nothing seems close until you leave the property.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is located steps from the beach. You can watch the abundance of wildlife as nature intended. There are no crowds...just wildlife and the natural world at its best! Go back in time in this quaint 1960's beach cottage. Enjoy the simple life! No boardwalks, no shopping or restaurants on the beach. No stress, no worries. Private and quiet. A Perfect retreat for families & animal lovers.
