About this property

Please note the house sleeps a maximum of 4 people.

UPDATE: New fence has been installed at this home for 2019!
Watch the sun and the moon rise over the Delaware Bay from this quiet, comfortable beachfront retreat. This easy-going cottage offers a laid-back place to celebrate life, especially for those who travel with their dogs.

Cook your favorite meals in our full kitchen, already supplied with spices and condiments, or go out to a decadent meal in one of the area's gourmet restaurants. The beach resort offers numerous activities from golf and watersports to theater and tax-free shopping, all within a few minutes' drive, but this is the place you want to call home at the end of the day.

Enjoy the romance of a candlelit evening in front of the cast-iron stove in winter, a bonfire on your private beach in summer if the wind is right, or just a simple moment of solitude wandering along the water's edge in any season. Retreat to your bedroom (one queen, one double bed) and fall asleep with the sound of the waves lapping the shore.

There's one full bath and, in summer, an outdoor shower to comfortably rinse off the salt and sand. You can also hook up a quick-connect hose to rinse off your pup with warm water.

Only two hours from Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia, yet a world away from the stress and hassles. Escape the hustle of your work week with a relaxing weekend.

Take time to rest, to play. Make time for yourself, and for those you love. Come to the Cottage at Prime Hook Beach, where we provide all the basics for your comfort.

Wintertime stays

The house was very nice with a great view. It was a little hard to find late at night. But being tired probably had a lot to do with that.

Great first trip to this area, just me and the dogs, we all had a great time.

Loved the location very secluded, and peaceful, lots of wildlife. The dogs loved it! It was really nice to have the fenced area the porch was trebly nice with lots of windows that open. Loved being right on the beach with very short distance to walk to water.

Great dig friendly cottage on the beach

The house was adorable, bigger than I thought it would be! Very comfortable for 4 people and dogs. The bathroom is small but no biggie. The fenced in yard was a huge bonus although the gates are a little jankity. Overall it was great and we would definitely stay there again..so peaceful!

Delaware Bay Beach House Review

Loved the property, the location and access to the beach, the kitchen set up and view from the porch. Beds were very comfortable. The place wasn't dirty, but there were many cobwebs and daddy long leg spiders in the bathroom and it appeared that the place was not thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. We did book the place on short notice. Property managers were helpful in resolving some check in issues which was appreciated. The bathroom is one negative - it's very tight spacewise. Overall a very nice stay. Enjoyed the nice Weber BBQ too!

Beach Peace

This was our third stay at this cozy little cottage on the bay. In addition to the usual things that we live about staying here, we were surprised and delighted by the throngs of migrating snow geese who hung out on ‘our’ beach, both fascinating and beautiful!

Amazing, hope to come back!

This place was perfect! So comfortable and very dog friendly. Lots of extra leashes, water bowls, and toys for the dogs. Very comfortable bed. Plenty of kitchen utensils and pots for cooking. Beautiful porch with view of the ocean, and such a short walk to the amazing beach. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Recent stay

We had a very comfortable and low keyed stay. The bathroom floor plan is quite awkward and would not suit a large framed person. The dogs enjoyed their walks on the bay, especially when it was low tide.

Wonderful time and well taken care of at Primehook Beach!!

We really enjoyed our stay in Primehook Beach! The beach house was clean, in great condition and stocked with essentials. The location is great, right on the beach and with the little single road to walk on. We REALLY appreciated how dog friendly the owner and the community is too. It allows us to travel once a year with our whole family. I just simply can not say enough positive things about this house, the owner and the people at the property management company. They were all concerned for our well being and enjoyment, and we really appreciated it! They helped to make our vacation and success. We intend to return again and to this exact house! Thank you!

Quite relaxing vacation

This cottage was plenty large enough for my wife and I, plus our 5 y/o son and dog. 2 bedrooms, a large kitchen, living room was large enough, but the furniture was a bit beat. The beach is right outside your door. Access could not be better. The beach does get covered with sea weed and dead horseshoe crabs. This attracts black flies and mosquitoes. It can be quite annoying. The flies were all through your house and they will take over your vehicle if you leave the windows down. On the beach, the flies/mosquitoes were really only a nuisance in the evening. During our stay it rained nonstop for two days. This caused the beach/water to be filled with sediment which added another attractant for flies and mosquitoes. Also the heavy rain caused the septic to slightly overflow into the yard leaving a foul odor. However, this occurred Friday evening and really did not impact our stay. The overall location is nice for privacy but it is a good 20-30 minutes to entertainment/ dining. For the price, access to beach, and a dog friendly house with a fenced in yard, it was worth the trip. I will likely comeback to this location in the off season when the bugs are less of an issue.

Don’t be fooled! This place is dirty and buggy!!

This place was pretty rough... we're not camping people... and it was beyond buggy! We found tics on the walls, spiders all over the house, and flies unbelievable inside the house!!! We were constantly swatting/killing flies that bit us all up! That house needs an exterminator!!! The fly trap on the shed was overfilled with flys and needs to be replaced, making the front patio area unusable. Plus the screen on front door needs to be replaced! The front door does not lock unless top lock used, door can be pushed open. All the doors need WD-40 and realigned... and those pots and pans could be replaced!! The shower outside smelled like urine! It was pretty gross. The house is not kid friendly, the bathroom was beyond tight. Need to fix the toilet paper holder! The AC didn’t work when we arrived and the PM did get someone out that night, seeing the filters was absolutely disgusting! They prob hadn’t been replaced in a year. The house felt damp after A/C was fixed. We will never be back. We planned day trips to be away from the house! We were hoping to utilize the beach and stay at the house a good amount of the time but Bc it was so disguising, we trucked our 4 and 2 year around town. We left a night early, it was just so bad. Cars were covered in bugs when we would load them in the car. Be ware! This house was anything but relaxing!

Extremely Disappointed!!

We've rented many homes over the years & it was beyond gross inside this house! As soon as you go in, there is an overwhelming stench of urine (smells like male cat spray!). The house was not clean - dead flies & dirt on windowsills, air conditioning return vent never cleaned, blinds dirty & falling off, mattresses & box springs are well beyond their time & need replaced (along w/pillows), way too many kitschy "decorations" that are old & outdated, collecting dirt & dust. Interior doors are split, peeling & in disrepair. Both entry doors need replaced-screen door in back has Band-Aids on torn screen & the overhang over the beach access door interferes w/opening the door. Windows on porch are broken & room was unusable because of being water soaked & dirty - used it to store beach accessories only, never ate a meal or played games as we intended. Bathroom is the worst we have EVER seen! Shower curtain liner is supposed to be white, but the bottom is orange from filth! The toilet is only 8" from corner of shower & almost impossible to get to. The bar of towel racks are covered with blue painter's tape because they are so worn!! Who does that?? Multiple light bulbs are out, switches don't work, floor is sinking in living room and sofa & side chairs all need replaced. We brought sheets to cover the furniture to help with dog hair & they ended up protecting us from the gross furniture!! We had a problem with the septic upon arrival-the whole backyard smelled like raw sewage - my husband corrected it. We communicated issues to the property management company the day we arrived. Floors were tacky & unclean-we wouldn't walk around w/out shoes on! Daughter was to bring a friend, realized it was a blessing her friend couldn't make it! Would've been mortified for anyone else to see this place. House is in great location and the area is great & the dog-friendliness is wonderful. Will NOT rerent w/o repairs and a very deep cleaning!! BEWARE!! What a shame....

About the host

Hosted by Ideal Property Solutions

Why they chose this property

This cottage with a fully-glassed in porch overlooking the Delaware Bay makes you feel as if you are outdoors year-round. The open floor plan affords a view of the water from the back door, through the kitchen and living room, to the front porch.

Guests describe the feeling of tranquility that begins the moment they leave the highway and wind their way through the 5 miles of fields and forest and marshes of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge.

Prime Hook Beach is a lovely community, close enough to upscale restaurants and tax-free shopping at the outlets, but far enough away to feel like you are in another era.

What makes this property unique

Having a private, sandy beach right at your front door allows you to set up your stuff for the day, and be able to easily pop in and out of the house for a cold drink, lunch, your favorite paperback, another dog toy.

When the wind is right, you can have a bonfire or just lay back and watch as the stars come out. You can take sleeping bags out to spend the night watching the mid-August sky for shooting stars or enjoy watching (from the shelter of the porch) the occasional summer thunderstorm sweep across the bay, the rain dancing on the tin roof.
