About this property

Work & Play at Delaware Beach Bliss- Steps From The Beach & Freshly Remodeled!

  • Make great family memories at our sunny, freshly remodeled contemporary Broadkill Beach home near Lewes and Rehoboth, just steps from the beach with multiple work areas, solid internet, & working , wood-burning fireplace in large great room. Go back in time. Broadkill is pristine, private, and next to the Prime Hook Nature Preserve, with its great hiking and biking trails and birdwatching . Golf nearby too at the Rookery Public course.

    Explore the area on our 4 adult and 2 child bikes (bring your helmets). Hike and bike Prime Hook Nature Preserve. Relax and enjoy our beach chairs, toys and umbrellas! Kayak or try your hand at stand up paddleboarding. Check out the sandbar at low tide and the bunches of tiny hermit crabs. At night by flashlight, low tide is a whole other experience! Make S'mores on the beach at night. Bring your fishing gear and grill your catch or simple fare on our large front deck using our gas grill. Our kitchen is well stocked with everything you need: stove, crock pot for easy meals, and a blender for smoothies! Just bring your fresh ingredients, linens, and paper products. There are great restaurants, free Wednesday night summer concerts in the park and antiquing in the cute town of Milton as well as inviting churches on Sunday morning. A little further afield, explore the lavendar farm, in full bloom in July, and lots of great shopping outlets.
    Play games on our screened-in back porch. Rent a kayak or at the Broadkill Store and launch it at the beach or in the calm preserve waters for great bird and nature watching. Tour the eclectic, fun Dogfishhead Brewery and sample their brews including root beer for kids and the young at heart. Memories made here!
    We are pet friendly for well-behaved, well-supervised pets. Our beach is pet friendly and also allows residents and guests to pull their vehicle right up to the water to launch their small craft, but you'd never guess it from how clean and peaceful it is! Sleep soundly in comfortable, new queen beds, comfortable full bed, and twin bunks with trundle. Rinse off in our outdoor shower or in one of the 2 full baths. Recharge at Delaware Beach Bliss!

Super lovely beach house

The house is beautiful and really suited our needs (2 couples, a 3 year old, 1.5 year old, and newborn infant), very close to the beach. Host was super kind and responded really fast to our requests to change the thermostat temp in the house, which ended up being the perfect temp for the rest of our stay

Everything was wonderful-even with the rain

Great house, everything you need. Has space to do family activities and have quiet time on your own. Beach so close and easy to get to we squeezed in walks in between the rain clouds. Easy drive to the board walk, restaurants and nature preserve. Would return for sure!!

Great Family Beach House

We were very pleased with the beach house—spacious, easy access to the beach (100 steps to the path to the beach). Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped, lots of beach accessories available (umbrellas, sand chairs, beach toys). Recommend you plan your meals in advance and bring some food because the only story has very limited stock, and the larger grocery stores are 30 min away. The Broadkill beach is private, well maintained, clean sand, not crowded, gentle waves lap against the beach—great for families, safe for children. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!

Airy house with lots of light, deck, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a few yards from the path to a private beach. Great location. Owner provided good bikes, cabana shade tent, beach chairs and a wheelie cart to bring everything over the dunes to the beach.

Great getaway

We stayed at Beach Bliss for the weekend with 5 adults and one toddler - we couldn't have been more comfortable. The open house plan was great for a group and we loved being steps from the beach. Broadkill Beach is quiet, calm and the area offers plenty of nature walks - just what we wanted. We'll be back!

So close to the beach

Great location, basically beachfront. Felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Newly remodeled house with very comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, and well stocked kitchen. Close to Milton and Lewes. House needs some basic maintenance (blinds that need some repair, burned out lightbulbs, closet doors that don’t fully close, front door latch sticks a bit) but it didn’t keep us from really enjoying our week!

A getting to know the area visit

Even though my visit was in the middle of a blizzard in January I still found the experience and communication with the owner exceptional. The house is lovely and very close to the beach. That does make it clear that you can't see the beach from the house and I would definitely take that into consideration as I tend to be one who really needs to see the water. Beyond that, it was a wonderful experience!

Very nice long weekend.

The whole process of selecting and booking the property went smoothly. Owner was very responsive every step of the way. Loved the location, as the property is an easy walking distance from the beach (3rd lot back). We were a party of 9 with one dog and it was a tight fit (we had 4 kids and 5 adults and our configuration didn't fit the available beds as well as we had hoped.) Loved all the windows, the private beach, and the fireplace was beautiful, although it was too hot out to use it. Would be nice if the driveway was wider.

Beautiful house and accommodations just steps from the beach

Delaware Beach Bliss is a truly beautiful and well maintained home. Spacious and airy. Bright and light - windows everywhere! Clean and welcoming with a sensitive touch of design. We had a truly wonderful stay and wished we had stayed longer! Beds are comfy and home was nice and clean when we came. The beach is clean and serene. We felt as though we were on a desert island! We just loved our stay in every way and can't wait to come back to Delaware Beach Bliss! The owner of the house is so nice and promptly answers any questions you may have.

Great spot!

We had a great time here between Christmas and New Years. We were looking for a location close to the beach (you are two houses away) - there's even a bit of a water view; with a fire place and a sunset view. We also needed family and pet friendly. The house is also really clean - very important! This house checked all of those boxes. The house is well equipped and the owners were super responsive. The location is nice and quiet in a beach type community. We really enjoyed exploring Lewes and the many dining options. We would come again as there was a lot more to do than we had time for! Thank you Pat!

Relaxing get away home at Broadkill Beach

The house was really big and spacious. Very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The fireplace was wonderful. The neighborhood was nice and not commercial at all. It was located just 1 house away from the beach. So minimal car time. The only down sides to the rental were we had to bring our own sheets and towels which was inconvenient since we were on an extended trip and didn’t know until after we booked, and the house was chilly even after cranking up the heat. They do have space heaters that helped but the main room stayed chilly.( It didn’t help that it was 32 degrees outside! ).

Beach Bliss Lives Up to Name

Our family adored the peaceful location of this modern home at Broadkill Beach. The house was so spacious and well appointed. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable (though the blinds had some minor issues). It was so nice to discover all the games in the closet. The house comes with chairs, umbrellas, a paddle board and kayak which was very convenient. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck in the morning reading, and gathered together under the at dinner. We did have some problems with the AC but that was due to the extreme heat. Pat was very responsive to our concerns and sent someone to check on it immediately. Due to the heat, the biting bugs were mighty after sunset, so no fire was possible. My favorite aspect was taking long walks on the quiet beaches. I highly recommend this lovely home would definitely return to Beach Bliss when the weather is a bit cooler in the spring or fall.

Gem of a location

We stayed here in July with a 2 year old, 2 teens and 6 adults, as well as a golden. All I can say is location, location, location! To get to the beach you only need to walk down the road past two houses, and then down a sandy path for about 150 steps. Definitely bring water shoes as this path can get extremely hot! There was only a few other families on the beach with us and we felt like we had our own private beach. Water was so gentle and the 2 year old could easily wade in and loved it. It felt like bath water! On some afternoons I was able to wade into the ocean over 300 feet and it was still only up to my waist. It felt like I was walking in the middle of the ocean! Coming back to the house after a day on the beach, we enjoyed gathering in the living room and eating together at either the large indoor or porch dining table. There was plenty of room for all of us. The outdoor shower was perfect. Kitchen had all of the essentials and Pat went out of her way to send a maid and maintenance person over during the week to ensure that the place was extra clean. We headed into Milton, Lewes and Rehobeth for meals. We went to the Rehobeth boardwalk one night and to Funland, which was fun but packed. Couldn't even see the sand on the beach it was so packed with pet. We were very happy to return to private broadkill beach where we could have bonfires, dogs, and privacy. Loved the paddle board in the storage area. Only suggestion would be to update mattresses. Can't wait to return!!!

Disappointing

Describing this as "steps from the beach" is an exaggeration, as noted in some other reviews. There are two lots between the house and the beach access entrance, and the beach path borders a third property on the way to the beach. The closely cropped photo of this beach path (titled "our beach path") is misleading- this neighborhood use path to the beach is much longer than what is pictured. Air conditioning for the house is uneven. The back bedroom on the first floor (with bunk bed) was hot and does not appear to have an A/C vent, while the other first floor bedroom was cold. While the kitchen was well stocked and the queen beds comfortable, other aspects were in need of care. The floor of the large deck had peeling paint. The umbrella for the large outdoor table was broken and appeared to have been that way for a while. The blinds in the bunk bedroom were badly tattered. The ground level storage was packed with equipment, not all of it in working condition. The kayak was great fun on the water, but the SUP couldn't be used because it took on water- looked like it was missing the drain plugs. Furniture in the great room has been updated from the photos, but still only comfortably sits six adults.

Great house and great stay!

We had a wonderful weekend at Broadkill beach - including because the house was great. It was large enough for two families, and was sunny and beachy. We were able to check in early, which we appreciated. The house is a short walk to the beach, which we basically had to ourselves in mid-April. Overall a terrific place to stay.

This property REALLY delivered!

From first contact through checkout, this was the best VRBO experience I've had as a renter. The owner communicated promptly and fully to each of my questions. The listing was accurate -- in fact the kitchen was even BETTER supplied than we expected! The pictures were helpful and accurate. The house is very comfortable, VERY nicely renovated, and the location ideal for beach access and a quiet, relaxing visit. We were there in March for an adult getaway of siblings and it was perfect. Warm one day, chilly the next, but the house was perfect for cooking, eating, lounging, talking, napping. Local walks were great. There was one previous negative comment and I can't imagine what those people expected or why they were unwilling to wait for answers to their concerns -- we found the owner AND the house to be wonderful. We give it the highest ratings.
