About this property

Vacation Home, Fantastic Views, Modern, Updated, Pet Friendly

Enjoy the privacy of a gated community, without the gates. Prime Hook is located perfectly behind a wildlife refuge. Not many people know about our oasis on the bay. Close enough to the excitement, if you want it.... And then come back and enjoy a bonfire on the beach.

Our October Beach Getaway

The house is very nice, we liked that it had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms for the 3 of us! The location is very nice, only improvement would be waterfront or a screened deck looking over marsh. Very quiet, great walks, and easy to get to. 5 STARS!

Golf Trip Stay

We used this house for our annual golf trip. The place was great with more than enough space but also was a 30 second walk to the beach when we wanted to stretch our legs. It was less than an hour to Ocean City, MD, but this location was off the beaten path which provided serene marsh views, and a quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Great place for a getaway from the hustle and bustle

We enjoyed a girls weekend, including the pup in a quiet, clean, and friendly place. The accommodations were excellent and beach time was great. All of the neighbors were friendly, and Lily (the pup) made 2 and 4 legged friends. Great place for sunrise and sunset viewing. We all loved it. Thank you so much, would love to come back.

Quiet, friendly beach neighborhood

This property was exactly as advertised and very comfortable. It’s a very short walk to lovely, calm beach. At its busiest, we counted a total of 10 other people, looking in both directions. Without fail, everyone we passed, on the beach or walking along the road, waved and said hi. The host was extremely pleasant and helpful. Any/all information was prompt and thorough. The house was clean and very well supplied. Would definitely recommend for a quiet beach getaway.

Excellent 100/100

Perfect home to stay in! Super clean, well stocked, and excellent location for a quiet getaway. Our two dogs really enjoyed the decks and the accommodations exceeded our expectations from past experiences. Everyone was able to have their own room and bathroom which was a huge bonus, and the beach supplies were awesome. The host was very accommodating and answered my questions in a timely fashion. Absolutely would stay here again for a longer time!

This was our second time staying here. We absolutely love this place. The house has everything you need. The distance to the beach is wonderful for all ages. The grand kids love the beach and bay.

Peaceful and spacious

Nice place to stay. Peaceful neighborhood, spacious house. Our group of four adults and three small children had plenty of room to relax. Easy walk to the beach. House is very well stocked. Kitchen has almost all staples you may need, along with many cleaning and laundry supplies. We appreciated the available beach chairs and outdoor shower. Our kids enjoyed the provided beach toys. Location is a bit of a drive to grocery stores, so be sure to plan accordingly. We enjoyed being away from the crowds though, and the scenic refuge views nearby sure beats the city. Two nice decks where you can watch the beautiful sunsets. The beach was good for our young children as the waves on the bay are much smaller. While certainly not a reflection of this house, be aware there are LOTS of horseshoe crabs, many of which are dead and attract painful biting flies. Take fly repellant, which helps but didn't completely spare us. Some days, time on the beach was nearly intolerable due to the persistent attacks. Despite the nice house, this experience would give us pause on returning to this location. We did utilize the provided shovel and landscape rake to clear some of the debris. The designated access area to the beach is also fairly small. It is challenging to contain many people within the specified boundry while avoiding setup in front of other private homes as requested. Kimberly was very responsive to any correspondence and the home was as described. We had a good time in Prime Hook!

Perfect for a group!

The house was a great beach location, with beach access directly across the street. The two levels of the house made it easy to have space to yourself but the common deck and living/dining/kitchen space was perfect to hang out in. The top deck was my favorite spot in the house with a nice water view! I hope to return again!

The Perfect Getaway

We love Prime Hook Beach in the winter--it is peaceful, quiet and serene, with water views and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets visible right from your windows or just across the road. This house was beautifully appointed and very welcoming, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. And we loved that it is pet-friendly as well. Thanks very much.

Relaxing

Property was just as advertised. Quiet beach neighborhood with upper deck overlooking the ocean with great Sunrise views. Very relaxing vacation with no concerns about the property. House is set up nicely for a Family vacation or just a Husband and Wife getaway with the family dog as was our case. Full time residents across the street were very nice and welcoming.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Leonard

Host profile image
When we bought the house, it was a small cottage from the 50's. Twenty years ago, we tore down the cottage and built our beautiful, elevated dream beach home. We have had two sons since purchasing the beach house. Our family enjoys coming to the beach year round. The kids can play outside, like I used to be able to do when I was a kid. We have a rescue mixed breed that loves the water and the beach and we take him with us every chance. The beach is hidden and has been a safe haven for us over the years

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because of the privacy and lack of commercial enterprise. We are close enough to everything that Rehoboth, Lewes and Dewey have to offer, but far enough that we can enjoy the serenity of a peaceful day. We like to relax on vacation. Prime Hook is the place for relaxing.

What makes this property unique

. We enjoy, sunning, swimming and walking the sandbar at low tide. Great beach for collecting sea glass and beautiful seashells. It’s awesome.

The First floor has the Kitchen, Dining room and Living room. There are also two bedrooms on this floor, each with a full bath. Both first floor bedrooms have queen size beds . The first deck is on this level. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on this level as well. The second floor has a full bathroom, a family room and the third bedroom. The only way to describe this bedroom is HUGE. There are two full size beds and a trundle twin and still plenty of room to spare. The Family room provides a great place to relax and for the family to spread out. There is also a deck on the second level. On a good day one can see for miles.

In nearby Milton, about 9 miles away, we have a Food Lion, Walgreens, Subway, a Chinese carryout, Irish Eyes, Domino's and one of Our favorites, the Miltonian Restaurant with Greek/Italian and American cuisine.
For more shopping, Lewes and Rehoboth Beach and (Outlets) are nearby south on Route 1.

There is the Boardwalk in Rehoboth and further south, in Ocean City as well as historic sites, theatres, amusement parks, the incomparable Cape Henlopen State Park on the ocean in Rehoboth and all kinds of experiences awaiting you at the shore.
