About this property

Beachfront Bliss is ON THE BEACH; steps from your door are the gentle waters of the Delaware Bay. Experience spectacular sunrise and sunsets over water on both sides - - the Delaware Bay and the Broadkill River/tidal wetlands of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Preserve.

Enjoy the private, unique, remote beach. Build a bonfire on the beach at night and catch the occasional twinkle of a light from the barely visible New Jersey beach towns.
But most of all PrimeHook is natural beauty at its best: listen to the waves, enjoy the birds, see the occasional dolphins herding their catch, flip a few horseshoe crabs, and see the STARS!

Please note: We cannot accommodate party more than 8 people (including children) due to plumbing issue with the septic tank.

We provide wireless high speed internet service and have televisions in each bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped including a propane grill. We have a washer and dryer.

The home is ~8miles ‘as the gull flies’ from Cape Henlopen where the Atlantic begins. Rehoboth Beach is about a 20 mile drive, or consider avoiding the weekend traffic: bike into Rehobeth from Lewes through the State Park. We usually take the back way (Nassau Road/New Road) into the charming town of Lewes (stroll the oldest town in Delaware, the 2nd street action, Striper Bites for great fish, Irish Eyes for a harbor-front scene on the water). On their way to get supplies at the Food Lion, craft beer lovers will probably want to see where Dogfishhead beer is created and stop for a taste at their brewery in Milton.

We supply beach umbrellas, beach chairs, shovels, 2 seat kayak.
Please bring your own linens and towels. We provide the blankets.

Good but not great

First the good: owner is excellent. Very responsive and accommodating. Location, location, location! Literally steps to the sand. We were able to let our young children play on the beach while we ran to the house and we could see them the whole time. Can’t beat the location. Finally, house is big. Lots of rooms. Big rooms. Lots of space and well stocked. Now the bad: The “beach” is NOT similar to the actual ocean beaches. Yes, there is sand. But there is also LOtS of seaweed and dead horseshoe crabs, blue crabs, and other stuff. The water is very shallow for a few hinder feet. And very warm. The worst part was the bugs and flys. I know the flys are a problem this year at most beaches. But the mosquitoes and bugs made it unbearable to even go outside at dusk or nighttime. Obviously this is beyond the control of the owner. And just a product of the location (marsh area on other side of street). We spent $100 on different big repellant products. To no avail. The house is also in a very quiet and secluded area, which was nice. No traffic. No noise. But the lack of a “beach breeze” made it much different. Not bad. Just different.

So nice we booked it twice.

This is the second time we rented this property. It is actually as described. The kitchen is more than well equipped. Two bedrooms upstairs and two defined living areas suited our family. The weather was beautiful and the beach could not be closer. We thoroughly enjoyed the off the grid experience. We also rented this property last year during Covid. In fact we loved Prime Hook so much we bought land here to hopefully build our own house some day soon. This place and also this lovely laid back home are real treasures.

Hidden gem

What a relaxing, wonderful stay. The house was great, the beach was beautiful - it surpassed our high expectations. The owner had so many things for us to make our stay ideal - kayak, paddle board, chairs, umbrellas, and firewood for outside; puzzles, games, Keurig pods/coffee maker, laundry detergent, and an ice maker for inside. They even gave us a bottle of wine and other goody bag items to get us started. It was a perfect week.

Beautiful Private Beach Stay

Incredible experience at Prime Hook. After taking the long trek to OBX from Baltimore for years, we found this little gem only a few hours from home. Huge difference with two tiny people. The house was very clean and well equipped. Many sitting areas from the front room, top deck and back deck for sunrises, sunsets and hang out space. Beds were very comfortable and behind every door was another bedroom. 25 yard walk to a private beach with awesome sandbar about 50 yards out at low tide. We went to Dogfish head brewery about 15-20 minute drive for an afternoon trip and Rehoboth day trip was about 20-25 minutes away. Enjoyed our stay very much!

About the host

Hosted by nadine

We discovered Prime Hook Beach 19 years ago when our dear friends married on the beach. After years of saving, searching, and waiting, we found the perfect lovely home five years ago; the first owner lived here until she was 92yo. We rebuilt decks, gently updated the 65yo home on the main floor which still has three small cottage bedrooms; and have done little to the two master suites tastefully added to the second floor in 1991. We mainly just rent ithe home when we are not available to come ourselves.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. However it will probably be too quiet if you seek to dwell 24/7 in the loud and lively, teeming humanity, beach scene. Nice to be close enough to visit that but come back to something completely different.

What makes this property unique

Hard to do justice through pictures to how beautiful the morning sunrises and evening sunsets are...Stars on the deck at night...Ospreys' nesting...Even a storm approaching across the water from New Jersey.

a blurb I stole: Primehook Beach is not a well known beach, but thats exactly why most who discover it like it so much. Its a beautiful, private, tranquil, sandy beach that offers swimming, surf fishing, camp fires, horseshoe crabs, and the occasional bug :) The beach fronts the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, which was established in 1963 to preserve the coastal wetlands as a wintering and breeding habitat for migratory waterfowl.
