About this house rental
Fully renovated in 2023, our all-season home is single-story but elevated on pilings with a garage below. The house overlooks Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and sits across the street from the quiet Delaware Bay beach. Our property backs up to 10,000 acres of protected land that is home to foxes, deer and more than 200 species of migratory birds--all of which change with the seasons and can be viewed out the back of the house.
We like a clean and organized house for your comfort. The open layout lends itself to extended families or friend groups with two spacious king bedrooms (each with their own attached bath) and a bunk room with a hall bath. The large kitchen is well-equipped to make your own drinks and meals and there's a gas grill on the deck. The walls are decorated with vintage book plates and lithographs and you'll find plenty of books, games, puzzles and a record player to spin some vinyl. The garage features both an air hockey and ping pong table, bikes for the family, a paddle board and kayak for the bay and plenty or items for the beach so you don't have to pack them (feel free to ask about specifics). We have a large yard for playing and a driveway for plenty of parking.
Prime Hook is a sleepy town--tucked away from traffic and crowds but close enough to the action. There are no stores or restaurants, just our small community of houses. The private beach is part of the refuge so it is a natural, uncombed shoreline with small waves and no lifeguards. Every day is different, but be prepared to find spawning horseshoe crabs (especially in May and June), seaweed, shells and beach stones. Watch the sun rise over the bay and the sun set over the water behind the house. Catch your own fish or blue crabs at the bridge into town or fish on the beach! We provide firewood for beach fires and enjoy our gas fireplace during cooler months. Visit the refuge's welcome center to explore its many walking and kayak trails, fishing areas and programs for the family.
We are less than 10 minutes off the coastal highway connecting to many restaurants, golf courses, shopping, movies, go-kart race tracks, antiquing, waterparks and the Tanger Outlets. Visit the historic town of Lewes, Cape Henlopen State Park and the Cape May-Lewes ferry. Close-by and quaint Milton is home to Dogfishhead Brewery, Lavender Fields and the Milton Theater.
We are happy to help make your stay peaceful and comfortable--and are readily available to communicate with our guests. Please inquire with any questions--we hope to share this peaceful spot of the planet with you!

Everything you could need and more was provided! The kitchen is equipped with everything needed and the coffee bar is to die for! Coffees and teas and all the accessories. The dishes, cookware, spice cabinet and more were completely provided. The bedrooms have everything needed and the beds are very comfortable. There are games, puzzles, books, bikes, kayaks and more to help you enjoy your time here. The sunsets are absolutely breathtaking. I can’t wait to come back!

We are frequenters of VRBOs and this is one of the very best we have experienced, and by far the best in terms of amenities provided, especially for children! Can’t think of anything that was missing. We loved the house and the views of the wildlife refuge. The beach was super convenient, and totally uncrowded. The only nightlife came from the animal kingdom. Julie was an excellent communicator. Can’t wait to come back!

The house was beautiful and very well stocked. We really appreciated the kid toys and books that kept our toddlers entertained on a rainy day. The beach is easily accessed across the street. This was one of my family’s favorite rentals!
