Peaceful Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. There are beautiful views of the national wildlife refuge, and sunsets over it, from the back deck. Then a one minute walk over to the beach for the sunrises over the bay. The owners were also very friendly and responsive to any questions or issues we had. We would definately love to rent this home again, when we take another vacation down to Deleware!

Our family loved our stay at this property! It was so nice to enjoy the beach without massive crowds. The location is surrounded with natural beauty and you're really *in* nature. The bay waves were very calm and not intimidating for our young kids. It was an easy drive over to Lewes when we wanted to get out/find some more stuff to do. Christine was a great host- very responsive and helpful. Thank you! We can't wait to come back.

Great Getaway

My family loved our stay at this cottage at the beach. Can't beat the views and beach access. The cottage was clean and very well-stocked with basics (and more). For those traveling with young children, there was a nice selection of toys, games, and beach toys. It's also a great home base for exploring all the surrounding towns and beaches.

Perfect for families!

Do not hesitate to book a stay here! We traveled without 4 kids (ages 5-12) and had a wonderful stay. The location is beautiful- the kids loved watching the birds on the back deck. We had the beach to ourselves (just a short walk across the street). It’s a quiet neighborhood without traffic so we felt comfortable with our kids walking back and forth to the beach alone. The house has everything you could possibly need. Our youngest enjoyed the toys and the older kids enjoyed the bunks and the games. Not having an oven was not an issue even with our large family. They have a large convection oven and we used the grill. The location can’t be beat for families- a quiet, safe beach but close enough to other activities if you get tired of the beach. We hope to visit again soon! Thank you to the hosts for sharing your home!

Christmas getaway

Our family spent 2 christmas's here after my father passed and we needed a new tradition. The layout is perfect for a small family. Everything is on one level. The views out the back - spectacular sunsets. Quick walk to the beach to see the snow geese and a brisk walk. We've had to move on to a larger home with more bedrooms, otherwise, we'd still be booking here. The host provides excellent amenities and a stocked pantry (helpful for quick stays) and linens. Host goes above and beyond - my mom left her iPod there one year and we asked them to keep a lookout for it...months later they found it and mailed it back to us.

Gorgeous View

My parents and I came to Delaware to visit my son at the Airforce Base. We enjoyed our stay! The sunsets from the deck were beautiful. The beach was a short walk right across the street. The sand is soft and full of treasures. The cattage was just as advertised. Fully stocked with everything you could need. They supply outdoor toys as well! We would stay again!

Very Comfortable Home!

Our first trip to Prime Hook in the Fall and first time renting this house. It was exactly as described online which is always a relief! Prime Hook is spectacular in the Fall. The house has beautiful views in the back over the Marsh and the Preserve. The stars were just spectacular at night. A bonus is that you also have a pretty good view of the Delaware Bay out the front especially off the little deck on side of house. It's very well appointed and decorated. Christine, the owner, is extremely responsive to any questions and issues. All in all a very good experience!

Beautiful rental and amazing hosts

We chose October to stay at this beautiful rental for a couple of reasons- Black flies are usually fewer and the beaches are less crowded. The hosts are wonderful at communicating if needed, cupboards are stocked with many of the basics, all linens and towels are provided. We used the porta crib for my 9 month old grandson. The Bay behind the house is amazing, we watched the sunset from the deck and the beach and ocean is right across the street. All in all, we definitely recommend this property!!

We had a great time and didn't have the hassle of bringing sheets, towels, baby pack-n-play or highchair. There were spices and even coffee. So nice to have all the luxeries without the extra baggage. Beautiful views from the front and the back and such a private street with no worries of traffic. I felt at home and even my dog was welcome!

Had a bit of bad luck....

First off, the property owners were very attentive and easy to communicate with. They kept in touch for the duration of the trip. We had a last minute surprise addition of a family member and it was no issue with the owners. Next, the property was in a charming little neighborhood which is very quiet and calm. No through traffic whatsoever. The views from the property were absolutely stunning and peaceful. The back porch is a perfect place to watch the birds and relax. Next, the house itself was as described. There were lots of items available for use. There was plenty of room for our family. Lots of kids toys available that my kids loved playing with. The kids bunk beds were super comfortable. Views from the 2 back bedrooms were breathtaking. Lastly, we had horrible luck the week we stayed here. Apparently if there is a certain breeze, the beach becomes swarmed with biting greenhead flies. These were so aggressive that we couldnt spend more than a few moments on the beach without being bitten over and over. Huge welts. This honestly made the trip pretty miserable since the main point was to go to the beach. We ended up booking a few nights further down the coast just to spend a few days on the beach and try to salvage the trip. I know this is iust the luck of nature so obviously theres nothing anyone could have done to avoid or prevent this.

Great summer get away

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here. We love it!! My son could wake up and head over to the beach and fish his heart out. I loved drinking my coffee on the back porch and a glass of wine in the evening. The sunsets are beautiful. The host is great and will respond quickly. We were close to be able to enjoy some waterslides, shopping, and great seafood. Will be going back!!

This home is so cozy and well stocked. I found things that I did not expect which is great if you forgot something. The highlight is the deck and view of the refuge. Spectacular sunsets! On day of departure, kids had a mishap and there was no time to make it right before leaving. Christine was so understanding. Thank you. I hope to return next season!
