About this property

The Lookout - Pets Welcome, Fenced Back Yard, Prime Hook Beach

This house is across the street from Delaware Bay.
2 steps and you are in our First Floor with kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and family room. You can let your pets right out to our fenced back yard. Just open the sliding door and you can watch them. Two more bedrooms and four decks are upstairs. Wonderful views of the Bay and the Preserve

Off Season rentals ( Oct -April) have a substantial discount for bookings of 4 weeks or more.

Please note you will need to bring your own sheets and towels. We offer a
linen rental for $200.

Prime Hook Beach is a private beach with access to the beach for visitors at the cross streets. This is typical for beaches where privately owned homes are beachfront. Come enjoy the 5 decks and incredible space our home has to offer. There are movies, games, and bikes.

Come and relax at our home at Primehook Beach. We are across the street from the beach. Watch the dolphins in the open waters of the Delaware Bay from our second and third floors or the snow geese, grackles and gulls from our backyard that adjoins the Primehook National Wildlife Reserve. With three floors there is plenty of room for your family to spread out and relax. The top two floors were built in 2003 and the first floor has been remodeled.

We are across the street from the beach on the Delaware Bay, a short walk. Enjoy bike rides in our private community or go for long walks along the quiet beach looking for shells and sea glass. You will quickly see why Primehook is such a gem. It reminds us of Nags Head, only much closer or Ocean City, MD how it was 60 years ago.

We have two bedrooms on the first floor. One with a king size bed, the other with a full. They share a bathroom with a tub and shower. There is bedroom with 1 double and a bathroom with a shower on the second floor. The third floor has a loft bedroom with a queen size bed and its own half bathroom.This bedroom has a view of the water. At night you can lay in bed and see the ships with their lights on anchored in the Bay.

In nearby Milton, about 9 miles away, we have a Food Lion, a
Walgreens, a Subway, a Chinese carryout, a Domino's and one of our favorites, the Miltonian Restaurant with Greek/Italian and American cuisine. For more shopping we have Lewes and Rehobeth south on Route 1. There is the Boardwalk in Rehobeth and further south, in Ocean City as well as historic sites, theatres, amusement parks, the incomparable Henlopen State Park on the ocean in Rehobeth and all kinds of experiences awaiting you at the shore.

We look forward to hearing from you to plan your vacation at our house in Primehook Beach. It will be our pleasure to help you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Ask us to send you our rental agreement so you can book your rental while there is still time. By the way, no waiting for keys at our house, we have resort lock so we can email access codes directly to you.

Options: We have a pet fee of $100 per pet per rental,



Thank you, Ron and Anne.

Stayed with friends and three dogs. The fenced in yard was great for the dogs. This house has views of both the bay and wildlife preserve. The sunrise and sunset over the preserve are especially stunning. Plenty of space for us to gather yet spread out. The dogs loved swimming in the bay. Highly recommend.

Jaw dropping views from this magnificent sun filled property! Host thought of everything, from comfy beach chairs, big umbrella, fully stocked kitchen, three tvs’ (but who wants to watch tv when the ocean view is right outside your massive front windows and outdoor porches!)

The host went above and beyond to make this a great trip

Our family’s stay at this property was lovely. The views from the decks were incredible especially at sunset. The common area upstairs was spacious, a perfect place for our family to play games, read and relax. The beach was great, very private and family friendly. We enjoyed paddle boarding on the ocean. It was wonderful taking in all the wildlife in this remote gem of a seaside town

Lovely Primehook Views

The house was just what we needed for a family getaway, dog included! It is well stocked with everything you need for the beach and is in a lovely, quiet location which backs to Primehook Reserve. The yard is fenced to keep your pup safe and it’s a short drive to Lewes and Cape Henlopen. Ron is a great host

Great week!

We really enjoyed this home! Fantastic balconies to sit on to view either direction. The one on the roof is spectacular! The set up of the home is unique and spacious. The fenced in yard was so great for our dogs. This is a home I would love to stay in again the next time we visit Primehook.

Perfect vacation spot with young children!

We stayed for a week in August with 4 adults, 2 kids (1 and 11 months) and 2 dogs. If you have kids I would recommend bringing a baby gate or two for the stairs. We had so much fun! The beach is only a 2 minute walk with an essentially private beach and Ron has a beach wagon already at the house if you’re bringing a lot to the beach. The fenced in yard was great for our 2 dogs. Would highly recommend this home!

Quiet Location

If you're looking for a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the world, this is the place. The house is close to beach access with breathtaking views. The second floor is spacious and perfect for the whole family to gather. The kitchen is lacking some bakeware like casserole dishes and serving bowls but the frying pans are wonderful.

World Class Views from 6 Decks

We love the birds of the Delaware Bay and this home in a quiet neighborhood is an ideal base. Lots of steps, but when you get up to that top deck on the roof and take in a complete view of the bay on one side and the wetland wildlife refuge on the other side. Wonderful! Appreciated the condiments in the fridge (mustards, mayo, ketchup, salad dressing, relish, etc. Thanks for being pet friendly -- our small hound dog Jasper enjoyed walks on the beach, the fenced back yard and all the wonderful scents coming in to him from the marsh.

As always, the house was spectacular, and the views were breathtaking. I watched all of the sunsets and sunrises from the home. The entry area was perfect for loading and unloading in the rain. There was a variety of different spaces and conveniences, more than enough for the 2 of us. It was very quiet for a good night's sleep after the day's adventures.

We traveled with 5 adults 2 dogs and our 83 year old Mother. Pros: Location. Spectacular views, 2 minute walk to beach, 1st floor accommodations for older adults and pets access to fenced in yard. Tons of space on all 3 floors. The outdoor shower was wonderful! Hosts provide chairs and umbrellas for the beach and 4 bikes (great level area for biking). Hosts were very responsive. Cons: You need to bring your own sheets and towels, not a big deal and you don't pay a cleaning fee, be prepared to clean after stay. The place was adequately clean-kitchen is small and was a little sticky and there is NO dishwasher. We still cooked in and enjoyed the adjacent eating area. There are some shining new additions to this place: 2nd story decks are wonderful but be careful on the top "outlook" railing. It needs some repair but still the best place to be for sunsets and sunrises. Some of the decor is dated but comfortable. There are TV's everywhere and in every room. We are big cooks and thought we'd miss a gas grill but we didn't the charcoal grill did the job! We did pay for the kayaks but changed our mind and the Hosts promptly refunded. (the bay is perfect for kayaking!) This location in our opinion does require some respect and courtesy to neighbors and nature. If you want a quiet, scenic, natural, extremely dog friendly vacation spot (dogs are allowed on the beach btw) and wonderful Hosts this is the place!

Our stay at Primehook Beach was wonderful! Check-in was easy and the house was perfect for our needs. We traveled with two older individuals who have difficulty with stairs, so the layout of this house was perfect. No stairs to enter the first floor of the home, only a few steps on the outside. First floor had two bedrooms, full bath, small living room, and kitchen. Plus access to the fenced in yard, which was also great to have with 3 dogs. Met the owner during our stay and he was very friendly and let us know we could reach out if anything was needed.

Beautiful, spacious home with gorgeous views

Our family of 6 had a fabulous time on our family vacation at this home. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and relax (5 couches!) and so many decks to take in the beautiful views of the Bay and the wildlife refuge. We took a few bike rides with bicycles provided with the property. Prime Hook Beach was unique with so many horseshoe crabs and very warm Bay water. Rehoboth Beach was not too far of a drive and we spent a few days there as well as we wanted to experience the Boardwalk and the massive waves at Rehoboth. Don’t expect to DoorDash meals as this location is a bit off the grid (which we enjoyed), and the grocery store is only 15 minutes away. The owner of this home was responsive and helpful. If you are looking for a quiet, serene spot in a quaint neighborhood surrounded by birds and other wildlife, this is it! And pet-friendly, too! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Ron and Anne Anthony

Host profile image
Anne and I grew up in Northern Virginia, married and moved to the Baltimore area. She is a Medical Technologist at a local hospital and I am in the investment business. We have two wonderful sons, Mike and Nick. They both graduated from Towson University. We have 4 other members of our family , our very special Yorkshire Terriers. Anne teaches Yoga and Zumba while I like to work on old cars for fun. We hope you enjoy our home.

Why they chose this property

While we enjoyed family vacations in the Outer Banks for many years we prefer being much closer to home with many of the same benefits here in Primehook Beach. Away from the crowds and close to nature.

What makes this property unique

Water views of the Delaware Bay in the front and the Primehook National Wildlife Refuge in the rear gives us the best of both worlds. The Refuge was established as a sanctuary for migratory birds and is famous among birders. Having three floors especially with the high ceilings in the second floor gives us a wonderful feeling of spaciousness. Five decks allow all kinds of perspectives that enhance the experience. Being in Primehook Beach gives you quiet and peacefulness. You can walk on the beach and, many times, be the only one there. At the same time you are only about 20 miles from Rehobeth Beach and lots of things to do. For us vacations are about relaxing and enjoying the simple things, walking on the beach, looking for shells, surf fishing, bird watching, bike rides, long lunches on the deck. Its all here.
