About this property

Heron’s Haven- a dog friendly beach oasis

Welcome to paradise! Heron’s Haven in Primehook Beach, DE is back to nature with all the comforts of home. Just out your front door you have a wrap around deck with beautiful views of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, great for bird watching and relaxing as the evening sun sets in the west. Early morning you enjoy a beautiful sunrise and are just steps away from the entrance to a dog-friendly, not-crowded beach on the Delaware Bay. Yes, our house is pet friendly with a pet fee (please make sure you count your pet on your search for open dates)!

Heron’s Haven is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy time with family and friends. The house is a recently built (2002), open and airy, sanctuary that sleeps 6-7 people. The 1st floor of the house has an open living area which includes a large living room with cathedral ceiling, the deck, and a kitchen and dinning area, all with views of the wildlife refuge. This level also includes a full-size (double) bedroom, full bath, and a bedroom for the kids with 2 single bunk beds and a trundle below.

The third bedroom is the entire second floor that overlooks the first floor as well as the wildlife refuge at the back of the house. It has a queen bed, a full bathroom and it's own balcony overlooking the refuge.

Family meals? The house has a well equipped kitchen and a dining area. Beach toys? The house storage area has many beach chairs to choose from, kites, boogie boards and large floats/boogie boards.

We hope you enjoy the time to unwind and escape the beach crowds to spend quiet time with family and friends.

Notes-
1. The TV in the cottage is a smart TV. Should you desire, you may use your Netflix, Hulu (etc) account on that TV. Please make sure you sign out of your account before you leave!

2. We do not provide linens. Please bring a set of queen sheets, 3 twin sets and a set of full sheets and towels for the bath and beach. If you prefer to rent them please visit 227rent.com and they can drop off and pick up anything you will need.
