Got my calm back!

Incredibly peaceful beach with sparsely scattered beachgoers, gentle waves, and soft sand. Ceiling fans with open floor plan and pocket doors secreting bedrooms away provide for both gatherings and restful privacy with a whir of moving air above. Sunrise coffee in the pergola beachside is best!

Great beach cottage for families

This beach cottage was the perfect size and location for our family of 6. Bedrooms had nice mattresses, everything was simple and easy to keep cleaned up. The beach area was wonderful for our younger kids; the waves weren’t too big and the beach isn’t packed with people. Overall, we had a great time!

My daughter and I wanted to take our senior dog Charlie for one last beach memory! The beach cottage ended up being exactly what we were looking for. The house itself was adorable and the view and sunrises were stunning! 1 loop

Cosy Quiet Beach Shack in Need of Maintenance with Close Access to Private Beach

We had a wonderful stay at the beach and loved the easy access to the private beach, just footsteps out the backdoor. The gazebo made for pleasant nights watching the moon rise over the water. The house is in needed of care. repair, and significant updates; but otherwise comfortable.

Tranquil

We had the most wonderful, tranquil, relaxing 10 days at this adorable little gem. The neighborhood is friendly. The sunrises were amazing out in the gazebo on the beach. We even saw dolphins on our last morning! The cottage is charming-the kitchen a little rustic, but functional. Bring the insect repellent for the days there is a westerly breeze. The view outweighs the annoyance of the mosquitoes and biting flies. We can’t wait to come back!

prime hook beach front

Great home on the beach. Very clean and very well stocked kitchen. The beach front gazebo was where we ate most dinners unless we had grands down for the day. Great place for sunrise coffee. Loved the outdoor shower. Great if you have littles, mine came for a few hours one day and they loved the sun and sand. The waves are small so we did not have to worry about them getting carried out. No crowds on the beach, it was like the 14/mile was all our own.

Awesome beach bungalow

This little house on the Delaware Bay was perfect for our prime objective of seeing the horseshoe crabs come ashore in May to lay their eggs. Our kids enjoyed playing in the sand and flying kites on the beach. The neighbor is so quiet and the neighbors all friendly. The morning sun is no joke, and the seagulls are plentiful! The house is simple, with all basic housing requirements. The outdoor shower was a hit with all. The kitchen could definitely use an upgrade, but we only really cooked breakfast at home. A toaster would be a nice improvement! Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay for a young family

We loved this beach house! Small but super cute. We came with our four young children. The location was ideal, the beach was quiet, no one else was visible for most of our stay. Waves were calm but enough entertainment. We loved the wildlife. Crabs on the beach, bunnies in the back yard, birds in abundance. On the drive in we saw two bald eagles - beautiful. The small deck on the beach was great to keep Beach things and had a great view of the sunrise. Some recommendations: a full length mirror would be great. There were only two small mirrors. Also more empty dresser drawers to unpack (although I did appreciate the eclectic /vintage furnishings). Finally, I didn't have great communication with the property manager. I never recieved check in or check out information. I only got the code for the door when I called to ask some other questions, never in an email. Still one of my favorite rentals and would definitely recommend

Needs Maintenance

We enjoyed our week at Prime Hook but this home has several maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The main one being the kitchen sink does not drain properly. It drains slow all the time but when you are running the dishwasher it backs up into the sink. I spent the last night of vacation bailing water from the kitchen sink into the bathroom shower so that it would not overflow. This is our 2nd time staying in this home and it had the same problem last year-nothing was repaired. I had emailed the rental agent before hand to see if some of the issues were addressed. He said they put in new cabinets and countertops so they did not fix other items. When we got there-they had only put in new countertops but just painted the cabinets. That would have been ok IF they had fixed the drainage issue. Also furniture is falling apart (bench in kitchen and bench at dining table)wheels fell off charcoal grill when my husband was using it-luckily no one was burned. When you load the bottom rack of the dishwasher the dishwasher falls out of the counter-it’s not fastened in to anything. The outside shower was not working(apparently the water was never turned on-house was not opened up properly at beginning of season) Window screens are all full of holes so you can’t open the windows and hear the surf (also notified them about this last year) we love the beach pavilion and location but will probably not rent here again due to lack of maintenance. Nothing appears to be an expensive fix.

Great fully equipped kitchen, I love to cook so it was a plus. would like to have notice we no longer had access to the shed with beach chairs, boogie boards and kids sand toys, always did in the past. Amazing little spot. Love the outdoor shower.

Loved Primehook Beach and wildlife refuge!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Primehook Beach is a great place for peace, quiet, and enjoyment of the outdoors. This cottage has a wonderfully wild, sandy yard and a gazebo from which to take it all in. The cottage could be fantastic, but has some serious drawbacks. The kitchen counter is peeling paint on some sort of surface, which simply cannot be effectively cleaned -- wouldn't consider really cooking there; definitely would not want to feed kids there. Chipped kitchen sink with two dirty sponges was a turn-off. The middle bedroom storage chest emanated a very strong smell of moth balls, though it was closed. Covering it with plastic helped somewhat. The bedding in that closet for the two small bedrooms smelled strongly of moth balls and had to be washed the evening we arrived. The ceiling fan blades were filthy, so we didn't use them. Smaller things like a plastic woven chair near the entrance that is unraveling and unsightly; the coffee pot missing the top piece so didn't work (management company dropped of a brand new one the day we reported it); the guest information notebook had brochures about the ferry from 2018; all just felt like a general lack of interest in the guest experience. A very basic kitchen remodel, a good cleaning (please note that floors and bathroom were clean) would make this a fantastic place. As it was, we felt it must be on the verge of being scraped and is a cash cow as is. Management was helpful.

Great Views - property needs care

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The kitchen is in need of a renovation. Sink leaks, cabinet doors are falling apart, tiles are not secure. I reached out to both the agent and the property owner who claim to be unaware. There is growing dust accumulation on the walls, the ceiling fans etc. Instead of replacing broken blinds, there are paper towels taped across them. The views are great. The property is in rough shape.

Restorative Oasis

A truly lovely home that sits beach front and welcomes the sunrise each day! Every morning was coffee on the sheltered decking in the dunes (even on the rainy day we didn’t get wet sitting out!). Water was warm and waves gentle for a swim… neighboring groups friendly and respectful…. evening walks down Shore Drive and you could catch a glimpse of the sunset over the Wildlife Refuge!!! Came home completely unwound :)

We will be back!

We have rented for years in Broadkill Beach and LOVE IT! We made a quick choice to rent in Prime Hook after our normal house was booked full. Boy were we in for a surprise! We wont be going back to Broadkill. We LOVED this house. The accessibility to the beach is ONE OF A KIND! Truly beach front and so easy as a mom running back and forth to the beach for snacks and bathroom breaks! The gazebo outside is dreamy! From sipping coffee in the morning watching dolphins in the bay to a (transportable) fire pit under the gazebo at night for smores was just PERFECT! The views of the water from in the house are gorgeous. The drive into Prime Hook are so exclusive. The kitchen is probably the ONLY downfall but REALLY does have what you need just isnt as pretty as everything else.
