beachfront on the Delaware Bay- beautiful Prime Hook Beach

We are located beachfront on the Delaware Bay in amazing Prime Hook Beach. We are a little north of Lewes and Rehoboth. The cottage is a comfortably furnished, relaxing, 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home that sleeps 8 people. The home has amazing water views from almost every room. Two bedrooms have a queen sized bed, dresser and closet. The third bedroom is a much larger family sleeping room with a queen bed, 2 twin beds and a very comfortable couch that converts into a queen sized bed. There is a pac-n-play available. The area is perfect for nature enthusiasts with so much nature all around. This is the perfect place to hike, bike, fish, kayak or just enjoy the very quiet, mostly private beach right out your back door. (There are two kayaks at the house - a single and a double as well as two stand up paddleboards). The beach on the Delaware Bay is generally much calmer than the ocean beaches a little south. If you are looking for more intense waves the beaches of Cape Henlopen and Rehoboth are about a 25-30 minute drive. The restaurants/bars of Rehoboth, Lewes, Milton and Milford are close by as are the Rehoboth boardwalk and outlet shops. Golf, charter fishing and water sports available in several close locations. Several restaurants, a library, a theater, grocery store, liquor store and some other closer shops are available in the nearby town of Milton- approximately 8 miles away. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We love the area and hope you will too.

This home has been a very popular rental with excellent reviews (The Yellow Cottage) and is now under new ownership. *We did add an outdoor flood light/security camera at the front of the house which covers the parking area to the street. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Very enjoyable vacation lication.
The location and view are amazing. We had a lot of wind while we were their, but still had a very nice stay. The house was cleen and very well accommodating. The open space of the house while still having separate spaces was very nice. All the extras were very nice also. My family enjoyed a nice bike ride around to see Prime Hook. The beach access is also very convenient. Comunication with property manager was quick and easy. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful stay
This was our 3rd time at Prime Hook and this location was by far the best in all aspects...number one being the view from the deck. Was surprised at the amenities we found at the house. Could really just take your clothing, drinks and food and almost everything else was surprisingly there! Would highly recommend Anne & Jim and their wonderful home!

Cottage by the sea
This place was perfect for our family of 4. Our 8 and 10 year olds had a great time on the beach and parents could sit on the deck and supervise. The house is fully stocked with all you need, not a single expired condiment! The view is unbeatable, check in and out was super easy, and close enough to the boardwalk to go, but far enough away that you dont have the crowds. It was clean and well maintained.

Fabulous views!
Another perfectly relaxing trip- third year in a row for our family! You can’t beat the views. Plenty of space to relax, work on puzzles, and eat and a well stocked kitchen. Our kids love “their” room which has plenty of toys, books, and dvds to keep them occupied. We took lots of walks along the water and relaxed on the deck. Highly recommend, and we will be back!

The perfect location if you want peace and quiet. Just a few steps to the beach. Beautiful view of the ocean. The home was exceptional and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need or want for a stay at the beach. As they say seeing is believing and i would say the pictures, description was on point. We will be going back without a doubt.

3rd Year Straight, Always Satisfied!!
Just the overall perfect cozy cottage to stay in to get away from it all, while enjoying the right on the never crowded beach with up close views of the bay!! It was exceptionally refreshing to walk in and smell the cleanliness of the cottage so A+++ to the cleaners!! We got to enjoy the breath taking sunrises over the bay, watch the dolphins swim by and even spotted a fox on the beach right in front of the cottage.Kayaks provided to take a ride on the bay makes for an even more exceptional experience!! All I can advise is to Book this place as often and for as long as you can as the time fly's by ever so quickly during your stay!!

Beachfront perks at a fair price
My family and I had an amazing stay at the Yellow Cottage. The house isn’t packed with the most modern design but my family actually preferred the look and layout to other places. The view is incredible from almost the entire house, including the inside and the great new deck. But the greatest perk was the ability to walk right out on to what almost felt like a private beach. The water was great to swim in, especially with younger kids. And it wasn’t too far to get to some of the local attractions. You just need to traverse a beautiful wildlife refuge to get to the main road! We rarely book the same place twice, but this might make that list soon!

Prime Hook bay front so beautiful and property has many great beach amenities. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 children. Close to Rehoboth, Cape Henlopin and Lewis but great to return to Prime Hook and relax on quiet beach. Deer swimming in bay, a rainbow and rocket launch viewed at night. What more could you ask for

A yearly destination
We have been coming to Prime Hook and Broadkill for 7 years and and this place is by far our favorite. It is reminiscent of quieter times and allows a family to just enjoy the time and not be distracted by all the “extras”. But, the perfect extras here come in the form of access to kayaks, paddle boards, floats, bikes, games, books, etc. It’s the perfect respite for a family who wants to relax and just enjoy. ❤️ And the hosts are super kind, helpful and responsive with any questions!

Girls beach break
We loved our stay here. To be able to walk out to the beach was awesome. The house was really well equipped especially with all the beach fun things. We took the kayaks out and had a chance to ride bikes around the neighborhood. Because the beach is in a private area it was so quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay again.

This was our second year in a row staying here. You can’t beat the location, right on the beach! Also the beach doesn’t get crowded at all and being on the bay the water is calmer which is great for our 4 and 2 year olds. Definitely thinking of staying there again next summer.
