About this cottage rental
Welcome to The Retreat! An adorable and comfortable cottage just steps from the beach. This two bed + loft, two full bath, free standing home is in a private setting on a culda sac street. It sleeps 8 and is your perfect getaway for peace and relaxation.
The Retreat is located on popular Broadkill Beach - a charming place to relax, unwind, and renew. The space is simple and serene, yet has everything one needs.
Steps to the beach with a large deck, outdoor shower, and fenced backyard, this house welcomes pets! Main Floor living with a bright open floor plan with skylights and hardwood floors makes getting around easy. The main bedroom has a private bath with a beautiful large walk in shower.

The Retreat is just 20 minutes from the charming and historic town of Lewes and Lewes Beach. Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes is stunning-make sure you check out the historic Army Base and Fort Miles. Also within short driving distance is Delaware Turf Sports Complex.

This is a lovely beach-neighborhood cottage, with a comfy vibe. It has a nice layout with the living space on one side of the kitchen/dining area, and the bedrooms and baths on the other side, so that those who are sleeping aren't disturbed by those talking or playing games or watching TV. The kitchen is very well equipped. Being answer older cottage, there are only a few steps up to the deck and front door, which was helpful for our older mom who was vacationing with us. (Fyi, unfortunately there were no grab bars in the showers though.) The close proximity to Prime Hook Refuge provides easy access to many paths and boardwalks, good fishing and wildlife sightings. And we saw many different birds from the cottage deck every day. With the help of the Merlin bird ID app, we identified 10 different birds over our morning coffee. Truly serene and peaceful.

After a 6 hour drive it was so nice to arrive at this very quiet retreat! Julie is a great host! Our communication was wonderful! There was a slight miscommunication with the cleaning service and they came quickly to get the house setup! Very nice people and Julie couldn’t have been more accommodating. These things just happen sometimes! We traveled with my 87 year old mom who is somewhat mobile. She loved the walk in shower. We also had my two grown children and their significant others along. We were all able to sleep comfortably! We absolutely love this location as well as the house and are hopeful to visit again!!! Thanks, Julie!!!

The property is a 5 min walk to the beach and only 15 min to town. Beach was large, clean and hardly anyone there on a hot June weekend- amazing privacy! We found it well suited for 2 adults and 2 dogs. A fenced in backyard was very helpful for a quick zoomie or potty break. Outdoor shower is great for post-beach rinse. Bedrooms are small but clean and comfy. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, cookware to prepare meals. The living room super cozy and relaxing after a long day in the sun. Did not utilize the loft space, but note the narrow stairs may be difficult for humans and dogs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return again.

Some serious issues. Dining room rug curled on all edges. Terrible tripping hazard. Had to move table and arrange chairs so we didnt kill ourselves. Door knob on storm door loose. No tools to fix. Outside shower hydrant frozen. Day we left pouring rain, no gutter at front door..soaked. no water last morning. NO emergency contact numbers anywhere. Swimming with jelly fish very unpleasant and painful...still. outdoor umbrella broken so no shade sitting outside. Nice linens, nice house, nice beds..
