Enjoy the best month of the year, warm days, cool nights-hear the waves with your windows open! 'JUST PACK YOUR BAGS- WE'VE GOT THE REST!!'

Bring your binoculars to enjoy many, many species of migrating birds and various wildlife present in the refuge. Come out at dusk for the gorgeous sunset or later at night to see all the stars in the dark sky. Also visible from the porch are the lights of Cape May, NJ and those of Lewes, DE. Take a few steps to the sandy beach and collect such treasures as seashells, seaglass, sharks teeth and beautiful stones.
Broadkill offers a quiet, relaxing setting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Kick back and read a great book on the private beach without the crowds of the public beaches to disturb you. Dogs are permitted on the beach year around and you can have a bonfire on the beach too! Kids will enjoy the small waves of the Delaware Bay as you sit in the water nearby. Visit the Broadkill Store which offers fishing tackle, an assortment of grocery items, sandwiches and great milkshakes to order, a small gift area, and don't miss the homemade donuts on Sunday!

We had an amazing time and our hosts were so helpful with any issues that came up. We were very happy with the entire experience. Great that dogs were accepted and the beach was dog friendly. Our dogs loved the beach
This property is lovely, impeccably clean and fully stocked for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It is a described and the hosts were great! We will definitely stay again!!
Very nice vacation right on the beach. We were able to do a fire on the beach at night. Owners were present across the street from the property and very nice.
Such a relaxing vacation - Hosts were warm and gracious and made sure we did not want for anything - great location to sit back and unwind without the hustle and bustle of typical beach vacations. Would highly recommend!!!
Perfect location to see sunrise and sunsets. The proximity to the beach is exceptional. Nice, quiet neighborhood with a charming Broadkill store. We will definitely stay there again.
A great stay in one of the prettiest, private beaches. Extremely clean property, easy check in and check out, right on the water and perfect for a long weekend or a week stay. We brought our dog and the owners were more than accommodating. The home has everything you need. We look forward to our next stay!
4th time staying at Broadkill beach but 1st in this house. Location great, house had everything we need. Huge deck and short walk to beach. Hosts were terrific!
Hosts were just great. Size of house is very accommodating and location is awesome. Portions of the deck and the gates need repaired. Ideal for our dogs! Enjoyed our stay very much.

We repaired the gates as soon as you left! The large deck was repaired with a few lose boards. As the heat tends to heat the wood, boards may loosen but there was no danger for guests. We very much like feed back so we can address. It is important to us when you are staying, it's important to us you tell us while you are staying so we can address.
Thanks again.
John and Cathy
Hosts are very attentive, welcoming, and gracious. The property is located in a perfect spot with easy beach access, beautiful views, and everything you need for an effortless stay. Great mattresses and everything you need in the kitchen. Gates on the deck keep the dogs in. It's quiet, restful, and just wonderful. We hope to return very soon.
The bay area is quiet, and nature surrounds you on the private beach. You're not far from anything but you do feel like you have escaped to a secret place.
Terrific! Comfortable and home-like. The photos don't do the house justice. Well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, very clean. The hosts are very thoughtful. Our dog loved the beach. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to return.
We loved our stay. Perfect location, with an outstanding deck that went all the way around the house. John was friendly and responsive without being intrusive. We’ll be back.
Excellent experience. Relaxing environment on quiet street of beach homes. Rental house has wraparound deck with great ocean views and all required amenities, including comfortable beds. Private beach is just a short walk.
The house was spotless and exactly as it appears in the pictures, with everything that you need supplied. But it is all about the beach, which is right outside your back door, beautiful, quiet and dog friendly. And if you want an evening out, Milton is 10 minutes away, charming and has dog friendly restaurants with talented entertainment. I highly recommend this house.
Our vacation was wonderful! We had beautiful weather, the location was perfect, and John and Cathy were such a help! The house is very nice and had everything you might need for cooking and relaxing. The wrap-around deck was great! It kept our dogs contained and still able to run around and exercise while we were grilling and enjoying the views. And to top it off, a beautiful double rainbow after a rain shower!
Property was as described, wrap around deck was great for tracking the sun, super dog-friendly. Beautiful sunrises, quiet beach, preserves and state parks to walk nearby, fun to explore Lewes' shops and restaurants. John and Cathy were only a phone call away, stopped by to greet us and to check on our stay. They are looking to replace the master bedroom mattress, curtains in the livingroom, and add a few smaller amenities. This was our first visit to Delaware...we look forward to coming back!!

Kathy and group were great as guests. We always want ideas from guests in how to improve. We purchased new queen bed and installed new curtains on both sliding doors. We told here we really appreciate her honesty. We want the best for our guests
The house is comfortable and not so large that two people and two dogs get lost in it. I appreciated that it was all on one level, with a wraparound deck having gates to keep our dogs safe while outside. It is beach front, a view of the water from the deck and a short walk over the dune to the water. The area is quiet and the traffic on the road travels at an appropriate speed. Only one loud vehicle went by all week. It's a good mix of rental and owner-occupied houses, from smaller cottages to big 3 story mansions. We enjoyed spending time in the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, which surrounds the neighborhood.
Cute cottage right on the beach with wrap around deck. Sun all day, or shade when you want it. Comfortable, cozy building with amenities and linens. There is nothing fancy about this spot, but it has the comforts needed. Plenty of deck seating, and just a few steps to the beach. Watch the sunrise or see the moonlight from the house. If a few dust bunnies, crumbs or squishy beds don't phase you, this is great!

We try to have bed options since it is difficult to please everyone. One queen is medium soft, the other queen is medium firm, the full size is medium and the single is medium firm. We greatly welcome comments so we can make your stay comfortable.
About the host
Hosted by Cathy & John Yost
We have been offering the home for rental for over 15 years with no negative feed back. We live across the street (part time) and perform needed maintenance asap and the home is always very clean. Things do happen, we are there to help remedy any issues. One thing we do is quickly introduce ourselves to the guests after they are settled in and make sure they have what they need. Our goal is to provide a relaxing vacation away from the over crowded beaches of neighboring towns along the coast. Our oldest daughter loved the marine aspects and went on to receive her PHD as a Marine Parasentologist-her goal was to provide fishing for young people for years to come!
Why they chose this property
It is designed for a couple wanting to get away or a family retreat where the access to the water is virtually steps from the sand and water. We offer three large bedrooms with the master having TV. We are dog friendly and provide the security of both stairs having locking gates for the wrap around decking (360 degrees) for children and animals. Our kitchen is equiped like your home and provide new appliances including a new flat top stove and 22 cubic foot refrigerator with an ice maker stove. You can sit on the east deck facing the water to view the sunrise and the west deck to view the sunsets. Traffic is minimal due to South Bayshore Drive being a deadend street lined with vacation and full timers homes' If you are looking for a multi-story property, this is not for you! One floor living plan offers easy access for seniors but we are on piling so there are steps to get up to the decks.
What makes this property unique
We make your packing easy! We supply the linens, towels and beach towel, needed detergents, foil and plastic wrap to name a few. Our deck wraps around the entire home so you have perfect full view of the water and enjoy the sun rises along with a great view of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, you also get to see the sun set!. Beach chairs are NOT included. We offer a large weber propane grill. There is no additional charges for what we supply. You are right on the beach and from the deck, you can see the dolphins swim up and down the bay as they feed-wow what a sight. Dogs are permitted on the beach year around but leash laws are in effect. Private beach, look right or left and you may see 30 people. No one can park and enter the beach unless they are home owners or guests by the home. Alcoholic beverages are permitted along with bon fires.
