Cozy Waterfront Cottage– Dog Friendly & Fully Stocked! Final Rental Year!

Experience Stunning Sunsets at Prime Hook Beach!

Escape the crowds and unwind at Prime Hook Beach, a hidden gem on the Delaware Bay just off Route 1. Conveniently located near Rehoboth and Lewes, this peaceful retreat offers a natural beach with gentle waves and a gradual slope—perfect for kids and dogs to swim safely. Spend your days searching for seashells, flipping horseshoe crabs, or simply relaxing by the water.

Our home backs onto a beautiful wildlife refuge, providing a serene backdrop for your stay, with sandy beach access just steps away across the quiet residential street.
Our home offers the perfect blend of comfort and coastal charm, featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and an open-concept floor plan with water views from every window. The sleeping arrangements include two bedrooms with queen sized beds and one bedroom with full over full bunk beds. The house sleeps 6 total.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a large fridge, gas stove, full dishwasher and a spacious toaster oven (fits a casserole dish or pizza). Please note: we do not have a full oven. We provide all pots, pans, dishes, and serving ware, along with a drip coffee maker and Keurig—plus coffee, creamer, and sugar to get you started! You may even fire up the gas grill on the side deck and enjoy a cookout!

Bring your furry friend—our home and the beach are dog-friendly! We kindly ask that you clean up after your pet and keep them on a leash when outside.

Thoughtfully Stocked for Your Convenience

We’ve taken care of the details, so you can relax! Your stay includes:
✔ All bed linens & bath towels
✔ Paper products & cleaning supplies
✔ Shampoo, conditioner, body wash & hair dryer
✔ Kitchen essentials & some beach gear (availability may vary)
✔ Baby items (pack ‘n play, high chair, bouncer, play mats & toys)

Need to stay connected? We offer WiFi in the main living areas, plus a WiFi extender for the back bedrooms.

Unwind on our large back deck with a new sectional, perfect for taking in the breathtaking sunsets. Or, sip your morning coffee in the front sunroom while watching the sunrise.

Come experience the peaceful beauty of Prime Hook Beach—you won’t want to leave!

IMPORTANT NOTICE
As of September 1st, 2026, we will no longer be renting out our beloved bayside retreat. Over the past 10 years, we've been incredibly fortunate to share our home with so many wonderful guests-families making memories, couples celebrating honeymoons, babies enjoying their first beach days, and even dogs experiencing their first (and sometimes last) adventures by the sea.
This was not an easy decision, but we remain committed to providing a five-star experience for every guest until our final rental day.
Thank you again for a decade of memories.
With gratitude,
Chris and Nick

This is our second vacation here and we had a wonderful time together. The location offers nature and epic sunsets while the beach is across the street. My family enjoys the tranquility so much, we can’t wait to return. Thank you for another amazing vacation.

Relaxing and peaceful getaway

Loved our trip to Primehook beach. This property has such a beautiful view from the back deck and is so close to the beach access. Loved how quiet and peaceful it was and that we could bring our dogs with us! Close enough to Rehoboth that we spent some time there as well to play mini golf and take the dogs for ice cream.

What a wonderful cottage on a peaceful and quiet location. Sunsets were amazing while we watched the birds fly around. Property was perfect size of family of 4 with a dog. Place was well stocked with everyday essentials along with cookware, coffee maker, etc. Christine was an amazing host! Great communication and responded quickly to any questions. If you are looking to get away from the crowds and noise of the beaches to the south, this is a great location and property!

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.

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.

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!

Peaceful, clean and comfortable

All the positive reviews are spot on - this place is a gem! Easy check in with key code. Very clean and comfortable, with so many household items available it feels like actually being hosted rather than just renting a room; which so many short term rentals feel like now. So nice to not have to pack your whole house for vacation. Enjoyed sunrise at the bay and sunsets on the deck. AC was nice and cold on a super hot week but added plus were the ceiling fans throughout the house - lovely touch! We made most meals at the house - kitchen has everything you could need. Owner was easy to chat with and helpful! Thank you for sharing your home & for accepting pets! We brought our foster dog and he saw the beach for the first time! The beach is not crowded - with people at least - bring bug spray! Enjoyed exploring the area down to Lewes/Cape Henlopen as well. Will be back!
