Rustic Cottage at Broadkill Beach
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Broadkill Beach, this lovely cottage for £165 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Looking for the perfect beach location - quiet, secluded and where you can enjoy nature and time with your family? Our Family Tides Cottage is just that - it is quiet, secluded, yet close to major attractions (shopping, restaurants, theaters, golf, etc). The space No hustle, no bustle, no traffic lights, no crowded beaches. In the mornings, relish the beautiful sunrises over the Delaware Bay, and in the evenings, the gorgeous sunsets over the Primehook wildlife refuge behind you. During the day, stroll back to Deep Hole Creek via our private walkway. Relax on the beach, read that book you have been putting off, take a walk along the sandy shore, swim in the bay, comb for seashells and sea glass or enjoy a bonfire on the beach with family and friends. Pamper yourself with high speed internet, cable TV and comfortable beds. We also provide guests with access to a beach cart, beach chairs, an umbrella and a beach blanket to save room in the car! For the days you want more social interaction, it is only a fifteen to twenty minute drive to the following places: touring the Dogfish Head Brewery, shopping at the outlets in Rehoboth, taking in a movie at the Movies of Midway, walking the historic district of Lewes, Delaware’s first settlement, or strolling the boardwalk at Rehoboth (the younger ones will definitely want to tour Funland). We believe you will enjoy the relaxing atmosphere as much as we do. Furnishings were recently updated! Our home has one queen bed, a bunk bed set, and a sleeper sofa which will accommodate 6 guests. Bringing bed linens, towels, beach towels are the responsibility of renters. The bathroom has a standing shower with an additional outdoor shower and there is plenty of parking on the lot. We are glad to assist in making your stay a 5-star visit. We learned a long time ago that family & friend vacations were worth the investment; a small price to pay for wonderful memories and great personal connections. Linda and Michael

But definitely not our last. We wanted a beach getaway without the traffic and crowds you find further south and Broadkill fit the bill. This cottage is perfect for a couple a family or small group. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook meals. We loved hanging out on the screened porch playing cards and a couple of the board games provided. The beach is just a 2 minute walk and my husband is still talking about the pizza he had from the Broadkill store just down the road. The host were quick to respond to any questions i had and gave clear instructions for the check in and out process. I will definitely be booking this cottage again and recommending to friends.

The cottage is in an excellent location right by the beach, and easy access to Rehoboth and Lewes. The property manager provided us all the info we need in advance, and included things that we may want to see in the area. Would absolutely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay!
The house was clean and close to beach and the little store. And if we needed any extras the drive to the little town wasn’t far!
The only thing we recommend is the bug spray if you want to hike the refuge!

My family enjoyed the peaceful time away! This beach cottage is small but just what we needed for our little getaway! Easy access to the beach, a great local store in walking distance and a nice quiet neighborhood away from it all!

The house is cozy, comfortable, and at a perfect location for us. It was a very short walk to get on the beautiful but secluded beach and a short drive to Rehoboth Beach and Lewes. It is exactly as described, but way more cozy. If we ever come this way again, we would absolutely stay here again.

You can't beat the location. The cozy cabin has a great screened in porch where we enjoyed our meals and family time. For those with small children it is ideal. Popping back to the cabin because you forgot the sun block or to go to bathroom, and you are so close to the corner store. The owners are very quick to respond and the cabin has everything you need. We had a wonderful time.

Exactly what my s.o. and I were looking for - three days of quiet surrounded by a beach and marsh. Planning to come back one day, for sure.

The real gem here is the gorgeous beach- we enjoyed every minute and will be staying again.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful experience. The house is small but perfectly located on a nice quiet road less than a minutes walk onto the beach. The owner had great communication and everything worked as per the instructions we were given. The beach gear that is included really helped to make this stay wonderful.
Although the house has a nice big tv we never even turned it on because we spent most of our time in the house on the screened in porch- this was lovely. We definitely would love to come back as soon as we can.

If you want a relaxing vacation, Broadkill beach is the place to be: miles of pristine serene beach free from crowds perfect for crab and bird watching, swimming, relaxing. Linda’s quaint house is located a 3 min walk from the beach. It has everything you need to have a good vacation: well stuffed kitchen, comfy living room and bedrooms, beach chairs and umbrellas. Outdoor shower is great to prevent tracking sand in. Broadkill store is around the corner and has bicycles for rent. Broadkill wildlife refuge is 5 min away, and if you miss crowds Lewes and Rehoboth are 20 minutes drive. House is back to the marsh, so have plenty repellent handy. No light pollution at night: sky is full of stars. Linda is a gracious host and great communicator.

Great location, easy walk to the beach and even easier to walk to the general store (great spot for sandwiches, burgers, pizza, ice cream) - which was great, because with no dishwasher and no garbage disposal I really didn't want to cook.
The bedroom with the bunk beds isn't air conditioned, so it got very warm. One of my kids didn't mind and slept fine in there (the provided fan helped) and the other preferred to sleep in the living room. The window air conditioners in the living room and queen bedroom are powerful and we were happy to have them (note: like all window units, they are loud. Wasn't a problem for us.)
For a place advertised as "rustic" and priced accordingly, this was a fantastic place to stay.

All in all- very acceptable. This house/cottage was very comfortable and clean. There were a few flies buzzing around initially, but we got rid of them and they weren’t a problem after. The inside shower was just fine for washing up- great water pressure there and in the sink. While there was a dirty, dingy little rug in the bathroom, I’d recommend bringing a bathmat along with the other linens. The space is very compact, but it does the job. Easy walk to the beach and the corner market. Nice, quiet retreat from the hustle bustle of stuff closer to Rehoboth.

House was as described. It’s nice to have an affordable option at the beach. It’s an old beach shack so it does feel small, cramped & run down. It was clean, main bed & sofas surprisingly comfortable. Easy walk to beach & narrow pier behind house was pleasantly quiet. The local store & some restaurants in Milton were closed for the season during our mid-October stay. It served our family of 4 well enough for a weekend.

We had a wonderful stay at this friendly cottage. The bedrooms suited our family well, as well as indoor and screen porch spaces. The yard was wonderful for our family to hang out, with a beautiful view from dock our back. The location couldn’t be beat with a very short walk across the road to a very uncrowded beach. WiFi great and Disney Plus for the kids. Our host was extremely responsive too! We would return and definitely recommend.

Great location! Easy walk to the beach, which was never too crowded. Easy walk to the general store which had yummy donuts. Rooms were small, but functional. Kids enjoyed the bunk beds, although it was a tight squeeze for even the 5 year old to get up the ladder. Would have prefered a nightstand or bedside table over a second dresser in the main room, but the bed was comfortable. The screened in porch was a great feature and was a comfortable place to eat meals, or for the girls to do arts and crafts while Mom and Dad put our feet up. I thought it was agreat stay for the price and would possibly stay again if.

Very close to the beach, house is exactly as advertised, had everything we needed (air conditioning, WiFi, and perfect amount of space for a family of 4), and very reasonable rate! My family and I had the peace and quiet we all needed and were close enough to travel to Dewey and Rehoboth. DART was amazingly easy to use and took the hassle out of parking in downtown Rehoboth.

The house was clean, well kept and had everything we needed. It is a short drive to Rehobeth and Dewy Beach if you like the hustle and bustle of shopping and night life, but come back to the house for a nice cozy, quiet, off the beat n path relaxing stay.
The beach kart was nice to have to tote all the things we usually have to carry down to the beach. The Broadkill Beach is a very close walking distance. We had a fire on the beach (our first time for that) It was very relaxing. We enjoyed fishing too. We were only there for two nights but plan to make it longer the next time. We really enjoyed our stay.

We loved staying at the Broadkill beach cottage! For less than we could have stayed at a dumpy hotel in Rehoboth beach, we had a cute little cottage all to ourselves. It was a very short walk to the beach and had everything you would need for a great stay. Just 20 minute drive to the boardwalk at Rehoboth.
There is also a picturesque narrow little dock on the back of the property. It goes about 100 feet or so - over marshy grasslands - and stops at the meandering river. This was an added bonus and fun to explore!
Know before you book - you will need to take your own linens - towels and sheets etc. This was very clearly written in the information sheet - but I don’t think I saw it anywhere before booking - and thought it might be helpful info.

Perfect for 1-2 people. Nothing luxurious, but clean, with everything I need - TV, WiFi, comfy bed. Try getting a motel room in Lewes for the price. Very relaxing beach town with a convenience store a block in one direction and the beach less than that in the other.
