About this property

Welcome to paradise! Primehaven, in Primehook Beach, DE is back to nature with all the comforts of home. Out the back door you have an open deck with beautiful views of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, great for bird watching and relaxing as the evening sun sets in the west. Out front you enjoy a beautiful sunrise and are just steps away from two entrances to a dog-friendly, not crowded beach on the Delaware Bay. Our house is pet friendly with a pet fee.

Primehaven is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy time with family and friends. The house is a recently built (2012), open and airy, sanctuary that sleeps 6-7 people (plus possibly one on person on the pull out couch). The 1st floor of the house has an open living area which includes a large living room with cathedral ceiling, the deck, and a large kitchen, all with views of the wildlife refuge. This level also includes a queen bedroom suite with a full bath, a laundry room and powder room.

The second bedroom is actually a large second floor loft overlooking the first floor as well as the wildlife refuge. It has an open architecture as well, has a queen and two single beds and a trundle bed, and an office area (but who wants to work?), and of course, a full bath. Windows on the east side provide an overview of the bay and the community and to the west look over the beautiful refuge.

Family meals? The house has a well equipped kitchen and a dining area. We do not have a dish washer but do provide paper places if you don't want to wash the dishes! Beach toys? The house 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. Please keep in mind that this is a private beach and is not a groomed beach.

Notes-
1. The TV in the living room 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! Please do not order movies on the Xfinity account.

2. We do not provide linens. Please bring up to 3 sets of queen sheets, 3 twin set for beds (a queen-ish set if you plan to use the pull out couch) 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.

3. During the summertime (June 9-Sept 30) we have a Sunday to Sunday stay available only. During other times of the year, we will happily host you for shorter stays (with a minimum of 3 nights). Please contact Betsy if you are looking for longer periods or a customized stay. Thank you!

Quiet, calming and all about nature;)

We love PH- and the simplicity of the place- in fact we are building there over the next 18-24 months- but wanted to enjoy the place - and this house is perfect for us and our two pups- stocked with everything, great views- for a smaller home- the space is used very well-easy walking and biking - only 6 miles to a wonderful town with everything you need- We love it- definitely will stay again in this lovely beach cottage!

Amazing Wildlife Refuge View

We really enjoyed our stay at PrimeHaven. Everything at the house was clean and fresh even though we were there at the end of the season. It’s one of the best appointed houses we’ve ever stayed in. They really have thought of everything. The pictures posted provide an accurate depiction of the house, but I was bowled over by the expansive view from the deck. It’s the perfect place for morning coffee/tea, birdwatching, and enjoying the spectacular sunsets.

Primehaven was Prime Heaven!

If you are looking to for peace and quiet, Primehaven is your ticket! Situated in a nature preserve, you just need to take your binoculars out on the back deck to birdwatch and enjoy nature. The sunsets are beautiful and the bay beach is just across the street to watch the sunrises. The house was VERY clean and stocked with everything needed for a relaxing stay, but it is just a short drive to Milton, Lewes and all the more typical beachy places for ice cream, breakfast or a good meal. We will be back!
