This house is in a beautiful location. The beach is great, and the neighborhood is nice for walking and seeing the nature sites. The full-time neighbors are really friendly. The views from the house are outstanding. We stayed over a cool week and having windows open, you get a great cross breeze and can hear the waves from the house. I wish the house had been cleaner. The rugs create black-bottomed socks/feet. The bedding in both the queen and king bedrooms was dirty upon arrival. Fridge had a substantial amount of items left in it upon arrival (half-consumed drinks), and the dryer had personal items in it that we had to fold/hang up to move out of the way upon our arrival. The house felt like it needed to be more “renter ready” with clean-up.

If you're seeking a five-star hotel experience, this place will not fit your needs. But if your looking for a comfortable place to unwind with family/friends......enjoy the view, walk the beach, kick back and relax - this place will give you plenty of memorable experiences! As with any Vacation/rental place, there are positives and negatives; the ocean view is amazing, the house is old but quaint, the amenities are few but adequate, many of us enjoyed the outdoor shower option/experience, the spiral staircase was visually nice but difficult for some family members, the old gas grill must be replaced and the deck area could use some upgrade ............ and did not understand WHY we were instructed to NOT use the outdoor light at the front of the property (until the neighbor across the street complained that the light was bothering her?), the Artist Decor certainly enhances the ocean/beach experience! Our family truly enjoyed our total experience and would not hesitate to return to this beach house! Thanks for the many new experiences, memorable moments and great pictures! Ron H.

We were thrilled with the house and location. The beach was in our backyard! Didn’t want to leave…

We had a wonderful time at this studio/cottage! The easy access (ramp) into the cottage was great. This is a perfect location for a much-needed getaway and if you enjoy wildlife, seeing the eagles nesting was a cool sight!!! The beach is right down a very short walkway which was great for walking our doggie Lily!! The host was extremely attentive! He responded by email almost immediately with answers to any questions that we had! This was a very nice experience!!

The house was nice and quaint with all the space that needed. It was literally steps from the water. I hear the waves while working and watch the sunrise with my morning coffee.

We had a delightful time at prime hook house. The wrap around deck made it easy for our little furbaby to join us outside without having to be leashed. There was NO ONE else on the beach, so we were able to step off the deck, onto the beach for walks and frolicking. Venturing just a bit away are the viewing trails of Prime Hook, Slaughter Beach, and Bombay Hook Wildlife refuge. Being November, there were no bugs anywhere and we found the house quite clean and ready for company. Kitchen appliances are new and upscale, and the kitchen is very well stocked. The lower level is definitely more inviting than the upper two rooms, but the view from the upper level decks and rooms can't be beat! Because we needed to be up and out early on our departure day, we brought our own sheets so we could just grab them and go. This IS the bay, so don't expect ocean waves. And for swimming, Rehoboth and Lewes are just down the road. A most enjoyable stay at this cozy beach cottage.

Place was not clean-very old coffee grounds in coffee maker, which had a very badly stained carafe. Place needed vacuumed, dining counter and kitchen ones had a lot of sticky, dirty spots. Furniture worn and I couldn't get out of the sofas without help. Counter stool-chairs too high to eat there comfortably. Outside grill rusted beyond use. Decking needed much repair so the best view of the bay was inaccessible. Thank goodness the mattress was new. Overall the property is badly run down.

The property is in a great location for a quiet downtime getaway with friendly neighbors. The house was ok. People in the reviews mentioned the spiders, yeah, there's spiders and bugs just annoying with them in the house so much. The house had everything we needed just a bit run down. And on our way to the house the first night was notified the upper deck was off limits which was really disappointing as you get the best view of the beach from there. There also were no beach chairs and just enough chairs on the deck for the 3 of us. It was fine for a couple of days but it would have been nice to get a later checkout as it was a bit of a rush to get all the linens washed, dried & folded, garbage out and breakfast cleaned up all by 11am.

We chose this house for the accessible features and secluded location and had such a blast! We have a family member who uses a power wheelchair and she had free range all over the first floor decks and inside the house. She could fit right at the countertop for meals and was able to use the outside shower with a shower chair we brought (unfortunately she couldn’t use the inside tub/shower). We loved how the beach was literally steps away but the path was too narrow (and a little steep) for the power beach wheelchair we rented. We were able to access the beach a few houses down on a flatter area. The neighbors were so nice and helpful and the whole road was calm and peaceful. The only small downside was the house didn’t seem to have been cleaned when we showed up so we had to tidy a bit. We had a wonderful time and will probably pick a week for next summer!

We were looking for a low key vacation as close to water as possible before heading to Bethany Beach. The place fit our large party of 8 including 6 kids ages 18-7 as in everybody had a place to sleep. Although not a problem with our crew, Not toddler friendly with spiral staircase to open wood beamed ceilings. Bill was great to communicate with but place needs major upgrade to fully enjoy including towels, patio furniture, bikes (no brakes) and major cleaning ( tons of spiders) The location was amazing.. a few steps to prime hook beach for sunrise, horseshoe crabs, swimming. We rented a kayak for the week that the older kids loved taking out each day which is a must. Bring bug-spray as the flies and horseflies are pretty bad inside and outside. Pretty secluded with nearest grocery store about 13 min away and ocean beach about 30 min with the coastal highway traffic. We enjoyed our stay but was looking forward to air conditioning and bug free living.

The interior of the beach house has been updated and is nicely decorated. The wood walkways that wrap around the lower level of the beach house are great. The only disappointment was that second story wood decks are old and need to be replaced so we could not use them. We enjoyed the lower level wood decks and would be happy to stay here again.

Overall, we had a memorable experience during our beach stay. The beach is great and is only about 30 feet away from the house. The weather was fantastic and the people were nice. It's dog-friendly, and that's a huge plus for us. Bill, the property owner was very nice and gracious and we appreciate him opening his home to us. That being said, I would not stay here again. We have two small children, one being a 2.5-year-old. After doing an initial walk-through, the upstairs was virtually unusable to us. The balcony on the loft is about thigh height and the spacing in the slats in-between is wide. You can't really tell this from the photos. We were terrified that he'd either fall over or through, so upstairs was off-limits. So, all 4 of us stayed downstairs. My kids thought it was great, but we spent a lot of $ and to not be able to use 1/2 of the house was not ideal. Some general upgrades to things people really use: towels, dishes, patio furniture etc.) would go a long way.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place if you have small kids, it was the middle of the pandemic and I was desperate to find something private with the intention of spending all of our time as a family at the house and at this beach. I didn’t do enough research and I didn’t ask enough questions so that’s on me. The loft railing is too low so we never used that space. 1. Prime hook beach is not a swimming beach. We brought our 4 kids under the age of ten and we saw no one in the water, and only a few people in chairs on the beach. It’s horseshoe crab season, which means there are a lot of dead crabs and seaweed on the beach and it smells strongly. The water is warmer on the Bay than at the ocean which is nice, but there are basically no waves, we ended up walking this beach in the mornings but never got into the water. 2. Just because a house has 9 mattresses in it, doesn’t really mean it fits 9 people. There’s only one shower in this house and the location is… next to the kitchen/living, just something to think about. Putting mattresses in a loft hallway won’t really make it a sleeping space. The bunk bed room has been changed and now has only 3 beds in it. There is no dining room table, there are only 4 producers chairs at the make shift island, so pulling yourself up to the island once you’ve sat down is nearly impossible and the height of the chairs was like putting a plate in your lap to eat. 3. Not a cooks kitchen. We knew coming in that this place was secluded, we did not expect to leave for groceries or dining out, who wants to eat out with 4 kids under ten anyway? But this kitchen has only the basic of basic supplies. The appliances work well, but there’s no hood exhaust which we found to be quite annoying when making breakfast sausage and grilled cheese sandwiches during our stay. And the pots and pans/cooking utensils are super cheap. I recommend bringing your own pairing knife/cutting board. Lots of cups and plates but only 3 bowls. 4. There’s no central AC. There are 4 window units in the sleeping areas only, Which means that the kitchen, bathroom, dining and living rooms are several degrees warmer. Which means that the flies congregate here, the flies were bad. I hated cooking and eating here with flies. A lot of flies. 5. You are the cleaning crew. Wash the dishes before you use them. We found dirty frying pans/cups/silverware. Time out how many loads of linens you’ll need to do the morning you leave. Bring your pillows.

Was looking to escape crowds and have a quiet beach weekend and got exactly that.

This property has ample simple amenities and is disabled friendly- i had teo persons with mobility challenges and they appreciate having bars in the right places in the first floor bath- slept more than I needed but great for gathering- Remote beach has a lot of flies in summer but no crowds - we enjoyed pm bonfires bay sunsets and wildlife viewing- peaceful place - not urban not new but was laid back and perfect for me nd my clan.

Fantastic house on the beach! Location allowed for 360 views of the ocean on one side and sunset on the other. Amazing opportunity to see wildlife and the kids spent lots of time doing that. A quiet getaway allowing you to enjoy the beach, explore nature, rest on the great house deck facing the beach, and retreat to the cool house when you want a break!

The privacy and peaceful atmosphere were wonderful. To be able to walk directly out on the beach any time day or night was lovely. The home was well furnished and convenient. Biking around the marshes was beautiful. To be free of crowds, noise, and enjoy the ocean was very restful and fun!

Location and beach are amazing. The back deck has fire pit which was wonderful. The beds were slightly different than pictured and the loft was a bit tough with small children but was my own fault I didn’t realize the bedrooms were in the loft area. We had to move some things to keep my two year old safe. There was a lot of flies in the house which was tough to live with. The house needed some cleaning when we arrived and could use some updates. The artwork was cool but some was a little scary for my kiddos. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and being so close to the beach! Horse shoe crabs were everywhere and my kids loved flipping them over!

Terrific location, amazing birds, wonderful/responsive/gracious host. We would happily stay here again.

This was the perfect place for our friends getaway. Definitely not fancy or pristine, but so easy and comfortable. Right on the beach. Breathtaking sunrises, shore birds, mating horseshoe crabs, dark skies. We will return.

The owner is a kind person and was responsive; however, the clutter and the cleanliness was disappointing and negatively impacted our stay. The truthfulness in the description and the pictures in relation to reality was a stretch. I was glad our young grandchildren could not have accompanied us because if they did come along with us we could not have stayed for our week.
