Primehook Beach

We had a wonderful family week at Primehook Beach (5 adults, 3 kids, 1 dog). Great beach a block away and beautiful sunsets over the nature preserve. The house was well supplied and fit our needs. The screened porch was a great place to sit in the mornings and evenings and the fenced in yard great for my son's dog. A peaceful and relaxing place to spend a vacation!

Perfect for a family with dogs!

We absolutely loved our week at this lovely home. As promised, there was a beautiful view of the refuge, and the beach was only a block away. The house was so well stocked and so comfortable. As a bonus, there was some available beach gear and a wagon to carry it in. We had wonderful walks and relaxing evening on the beautiful screened in porch. My dogs LOVED the yard Thank you to the host for your quick responses to my few questions. We truly had a wonderful time and hope to return someday!

Absolutely love Lunas Landing!

My family and I stayed at this property for two weeks. The house is comfortable, well equipped, perfect location, and has absolutely amazing unobstructed views of the wildlife preserve and sunsets. Few things that make Lunas Landing extra special: - The separate room with bunk beds on the first floor is excellent when you have teenagers: there's a TV to hook up a gaming console, several bean bags, and a door! - We have two dogs, so the fenced in yard was very convenient, especially in the early mornings. - The screened in porch is wonderful, whether to have a meal, or to just sit and read a book while listening to the rain, or to enjoy a beer and some crabs! I hope we'll get a chance to stay here again in the coming years.

Relaxing getaway

The house is located in a very quiet, peaceful area only a few minutes walk to a private beach. The accommodations were perfect for what we needed. Plenty of space/seating for everyone to relax and hang out. I loved sitting on the screened in porch to read, listen to the birds and see the beautiful sunsets.

Luna’s Landing was a great place to stay!

Our stay at Luna’s Landing is just what we needed for our annual get away! While this wasn’t our first stay on Prime Hook, it was our first stay on the wildlife refuge side. Absolutely great for bird watching and a very short walk to the beach. The house was clean and had every amenity you could need during a week stay. We loved having the fenced in yard for the dogs and the screened in porch for relaxing after a day at the beach. We hope to be back in future years!

Perfect getaway

This house was perfect. It was well stocked for all our needs, I especially appreciate paper products and tissues, usually overlooked in many houses. The location could not be more perfect , lovely marsh views , quiet , and a very short walk to a private beach. Great that our dogs were welcome too, with water bowl ready ! Our family loved this stay , we all want to come back.

Great vacation home

We were a party of 10, four children and six adults. The beach was great for the young children, since it was not crowded and with it being on the bay, the waves were small. The house was clean and recently painted/ redecorated. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment, which even included a crockpot. The screened porch was great for evening relaxation. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Peaceful and Private

The group (4 retired women and there fur babies) enjoyed our stay at Luna’s. It was just as described in the listing. Well stocked, comfortable and the fenced yard was an added bonus. Loved the peaceful mornings enjoying coffee and watching the sunrises on the screened porch. Only to be outdone by the sunsets over the reserve. We would very much consider a return visit.

Wonderfully quiet and stocked home

We had a wonderful vacation staying at Lunas Landing. We had 5 people, 3 adults and 2 kids, 6 &4. We all had a wonderful time, the house comes stocked with pretty much everything you could think of and more. The kids really enjoyed finding the bean bag chairs and the activity closet. The adults enjoyed the screened in porch to relax, read and have a few cocktails and watch the sunset over the marsh. It was an a very short walk to the pretty much deserted beach. We have stayed in Rehoboth previous years but found Primehook to be a wonderful spot as it’s very quiet but close enough to drive to mini golf, restaurants etc. The kids are already asking that we stay longer next year! Only suggestion would be to add a little ramp to the garbage cans shelter outside as when the cans were full it was hard to get in and out of the shelter.

Very dog-friendly. People-friendly, too!

We had a lovely week with two of our dogs, an intergenerational gathering with 3 age groups represented and rave reviews from all. The neighborhood is quite friendly, the beach super accessible and sparsely populated. The house had EVERYTHING we needed - the kitchen was particularly well equipped. We loved the outdoor shower and the screened porch. Our 2 pooches reveled in the fenced yard, had flooring that made us not worry at all about muddy pawprints, and the dog dishes were the added touch that made us all swoon in delight.

Peace, serenity, quietude…with dogs!

We - my daughter, her husband, their 7-month old son and I spent several days at Lunas Landing the first week in June. None of us had any idea what it would be like. The house was very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed hanging out on the screen porch. Sometimes there was a breeze, sometimes not, but it was delightful. I don’t think I’ve spent time in a more peaceful place, except maybe the mountains of Colorado. You could see stars! No lights! Just what we needed. And Tommy, my grandson, got his first experience of sand, getting wet in the bay and watching the dogs run. Thank you.

A Sanctuary for People and Wildlife

We are so thrilled to have been able to stay for a week at Luna's Landing. My husband, myself, and our dog loved walking on the beach, strolling around the neighborhood, and going for daily hikes in the area - Henlopen, Abbott's Mill, Eduard McCabe preserve etc. Watching Ospreys, herons, red-winged black birds, rabbits, geese, and other animals from Luna's Landing while making dinner, sitting on the screened-in porch, or walking along the main road, was pure joy. We really enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen and the fact that a 15-20-minute drive took us to a fresh seafood market. We had to do a little work remotely during our stay, so teaching a couple of classes over Zoom was no problem with the strong internet signal. It's obvious that the folks who created Luna's Landing have put much thought and lots of love into their peaceful and beautiful home.

Goose island

We came down as a big family of 6. The house accommodated all of us with more than enough room to roam and play. It was 3 adults and 3 children. My mom chose the bedroom straight back and it was the perfect spot for watching all the wildlife out the window. We had a huge family of geese that visited every day. It would be great if there was also a screened porch on the back end of the house. When planning your stay here, you’ll find you have to bring very little! I greatly enjoyed the blankets and bedding that were provided. The kids loved the bean bags and the kids room on the first floor. The house provided us with enough toilet paper, paper towels and laundry pods for a few days. We’re a big family so you may not have to supply your own at all! Another note I want to make is the Tupperware provided!! Great job. Some houses I’ve stayed at don’t provide those. You will need to provide your own Clorox wipes or any cleaning products to clean up after your kids or pets if needed. That was the only thing the house didn’t have. Oh! And there is an actual drip coffee pot- online we saw a kuerig but waited to see what was available at the house before we bought coffee. Bonus- some coffee and creamers and simple condiments are also provided. Being back off the beach- the access could not have been any easier. The walk was simple and the beach wagon that was provided went over the small walk easily. Overall, this was a great place. We had beautiful weather and just a great time.

Family Vacation

Lovely well appointed beach house. Super clean, well equipped kitchen, all around welcoming and homey atmosphere. We had 2 young children, 6 adults and dogs. The screened porch was wonderful, especially for those early risers who enjoy drinking a cup of coffee and watching the sun come up. Nice tall fence took the worry out of bringing dogs along and they enjoyed the nice grassy yard. We enjoyed the local wildlife from the shore birds to the very tame rabbits hopping around. The biggest surprise was the beach and neighborhood. We felt like we were the only people there. Actually, there really very few people around. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time and a busy day was 2 other people and occasional walkers. The waves were smaller than the regular shore so the small children could really enjoy themselves in the water. What was great is that the beach is a "living" beach. It is just as nature makes it. Horseshoe crabs, washup plants, etc. No thrashing machine at night cleaning the sand. No trash to clean up anyway, just natural occurring sea plants and great shells. House is very close to beach so easy to run back for a quick trip. Also was very nice to have beach gear to borrow. Had a great visit and would like to return next year. Very big plus was the ability to bring our dogs. They enjoyed the beach in am and pm because it was very hot during our stay.

This house was perfect for our family. Owner had everything available that you need for a beach vacation including wagon to carry stuff to the beach which was a short block walk. All the beds were comfortable including bunk beds. I slept on the double bunk with my 3 year old grandson and was surprised and pleased that it was a good thick firm mattress. Plenty of games and puzzles for a rainy day. I definitely want to come back here again.

Prime Hook Beach

We really enjoyed our week on Prime Hook using the house as a getaway for our daughter’s birthday. Our family was comfortable the entire stay and all of the amenities were perfect. Prime Hook may not be for everyone, but the seclusion and private feel to the beaches made it feel like a real getaway to us.

Why they chose this property

We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do. The home is uniquely situated to enjoy all the views. Walk the private beach in the morning for amazing sunrises, and watch the beautiful sunsets at night overlooking the preserve right from the home. The home can comfortably sleep 8. While it is ideal to enjoy nature in a peaceful setting, it is still close enough to tons of activities along the coast including water sports, wine and beer tasting, and any kind of shopping your looking for. We are also close enough to NY, NJ, and the DMV area that you can drive here after work and not waste the whole day traveling. The home is about 2.5 hrs from the DMV area. The home is also well equipped so all you need to bring is bath towels, beach towels and food (although the local restaurants are great). We also have a full size washer and dryer if needed after a day at the beach. Feel free to bring your pups along for the fun. Dog bowls are provided. Visit https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Prime_Hook/ for additional information about the area.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything. Quiet and peaceful but still close enough to visit the excitement. Something for everyone to enjoy. We also have games for kids of all ages.
