Pet-Friendly Bayside Retreat with an amazing view and steps to the beach!

Come see these amazing sunsets for yourself! Prime Hook Beach is on the Delaware Bay located off Rt. 1. Close to towns like Rehoboth and Lewes, but away from all the crowds! The bay has a natural beach with gentle waves and a gradual slope. Perfect for kids and dogs to swim! Great place to hunt for seashells or see horseshoe crabs. Our house backs to the wildlife refuge with the sandy beach access right across the residential street.

Our house is 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths with an open floor plan and water views from every window. Two bedrooms with queen sized beds and one bedroom with full sized bunks. Sleeps 6. Full kitchen including large fridge, gas stove and large toaster oven that can fit a casserole dish and pizza. *We do not have a full oven. All pots, pans, dishes and serving ware is included! We have a drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig. Coffee, creamer and sugar is provided!

Bring your dog! Both our house and the beach are pet friendly. Just make sure to clean up after your pet both in the home and on the beach and they must remain on a leash outside.

Fully stocked including all bed linens and bath towels, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, kitchen essentials and some beach supplies you are welcome to use. We even have baby items such as a pack n play, high chair, bouncer, play mats and toys! Gas grill on the side deck waiting for you to cook out. *The supply can change periodically. We cannot guarantee the condition of any of these items.

Work with a view! We have excellent wifi in the main living areas, and a wifi extender for the back bedrooms.

Very Comfortable Home!
Our first trip to Prime Hook in the Fall and first time renting this house. It was exactly as described online which is always a relief! Prime Hook is spectacular in the Fall. The house has beautiful views in the back over the Marsh and the Preserve. The stars were just spectacular at night. A bonus is that you also have a pretty good view of the Delaware Bay out the front especially off the little deck on side of house. It's very well appointed and decorated. Christine, the owner, is extremely responsive to any questions and issues. All in all a very good experience!

Beautiful rental and amazing hosts
We chose October to stay at this beautiful rental for a couple of reasons- Black flies are usually fewer and the beaches are less crowded. The hosts are wonderful at communicating if needed, cupboards are stocked with many of the basics, all linens and towels are provided. We used the porta crib for my 9 month old grandson. The Bay behind the house is amazing, we watched the sunset from the deck and the beach and ocean is right across the street. All in all, we definitely recommend this property!!

Very Relaxing and all the anemities
We had a great time and didn't have the hassle of bringing sheets, towels, baby pack-n-play or highchair. There were spices and even coffee. So nice to have all the luxeries without the extra baggage. Beautiful views from the front and the back and such a private street with no worries of traffic. I felt at home and even my dog was welcome!

Bayside Retreat
We loved our stay at the Bayside Retreat! Chris thought about every convenience you could have to make a comfortable stay. We loved the grill and having such a wonderful view from the back deck where we spent a lot of our time. My daughter and I really enjoyed the bay and all the wildlife at the refuge. We explored Milton and Lewes and had a great time!

Had a bit of bad luck....
First off, the property owners were very attentive and easy to communicate with. They kept in touch for the duration of the trip. We had a last minute surprise addition of a family member and it was no issue with the owners. Next, the property was in a charming little neighborhood which is very quiet and calm. No through traffic whatsoever. The views from the property were absolutely stunning and peaceful. The back porch is a perfect place to watch the birds and relax. Next, the house itself was as described. There were lots of items available for use. There was plenty of room for our family. Lots of kids toys available that my kids loved playing with. The kids bunk beds were super comfortable. Views from the 2 back bedrooms were breathtaking. Lastly, we had horrible luck the week we stayed here. Apparently if there is a certain breeze, the beach becomes swarmed with biting greenhead flies. These were so aggressive that we couldnt spend more than a few moments on the beach without being bitten over and over. Huge welts. This honestly made the trip pretty miserable since the main point was to go to the beach. We ended up booking a few nights further down the coast just to spend a few days on the beach and try to salvage the trip. I know this is iust the luck of nature so obviously theres nothing anyone could have done to avoid or prevent this.

Great summer get away
This is the 3rd time we have stayed here. We love it!! My son could wake up and head over to the beach and fish his heart out. I loved drinking my coffee on the back porch and a glass of wine in the evening. The sunsets are beautiful. The host is great and will respond quickly. We were close to be able to enjoy some waterslides, shopping, and great seafood. Will be going back!!

This home is so cozy and well stocked. I found things that I did not expect which is great if you forgot something. The highlight is the deck and view of the refuge. Spectacular sunsets! On day of departure, kids had a mishap and there was no time to make it right before leaving. Christine was so understanding. Thank you. I hope to return next season!

Perfect getaway spot
The house was even better than advertised. Perfect location with bay views and a beach across the street where my dog continued to live his best life. Short drive to stores, restaurants, and activities away from the beach but you could just bring all your supplies and stay at the house for the entire stay.

Beautiful comfortable retreat
The location is perfect. You couldn’t ask for a more relaxed way to spend vacation: away from crowds and surrounded by nature. We really appreciate how well appointed the home is, beautifully furnished and stocked with everything you need. They even had fragrance free laundry detergent 😍 The cleanliness decreased since our last stay but perhaps a fluke with the cleaning crew. There are a few small maintenance items that need to be resolved, for example the toilet paper bar is not attached to the wall in the bathroom, and the floor thresholds from hallway to bedrooms are loose. Minor annoyances in a fantastic house. We will be back!!

Pure relaxation
The location of this home is everything. Water views in all directions, a quiet secluded street, neighbors but great bars and restaurants are just 15 minutes away. I fell in love with the little town of Milton. We celebrated my son’s 1st birthday with a long weekend and it was just perfect for him. Slide the sofa over on the deck to block the exit and you have a baby proof play area while you kick back and relax. The beach was a little messy when we were there and it was rainy so he didn’t get to play in the sand but we enjoyed long walks and seeing all of the wildlife.

My family has been going to the DE beaches every year for 6 years now. We have been to various beaches and stayed in very nice VRBO properties.

We happened to stay at the beach house during a wind and flood advisory, and we still loved it. We can't wait to go back. It was a beautiful and peaceful off-season retreat. The beaches and wildlife sanctuary make this a particular spot for wildlife lovers, but beautiful restaurants are just a drive away. I appreciate that the owners have bikes and kayaks available and that our fur babies were welcome! This is a GEM!!

Great family getaway!
We had such a nice time at Chris and Nick’s bayside retreat! The home was so clean and welcoming. The minute we walked in we felt instantly rejuvenated. Being on the nature preserve and right across the street from the bay made it such a perfect and peaceful spot. The kids loved morning walks on the beach, and bird watching from the back. We hope to go back!
