We have rented beach houses the same week every year for 9 years now- from Jersey to NC and this was hands down our favorite house to date. So much so that we plan to rebook again next year which we’ve never done before. No house has ever been so perfect for us.
Pros:
It is cleaned, well-stocked, and the host Brad is very accessible.
Linens and towels are included.
It’s 150 steps to the beach.
It was CLEAN.
The kitchen had every single thing you could possibly need including small appliances and a lobster pot with tools for crabs!
Incredibly convenient to the Broadkill store which has everything you might need that you forgot you needed. Donuts every am and a walk up ice cream window too!
Plenty of games and books and puzzles to occupy everyone’s time!! Also more DVDs than we could count even though there’s Smart TVs and Netflix and Hulu.
The storage area downstairs has everything you would need for the beach (chairs, umbrellas, toys) including a wagon to bring everything to and from.
Beach is not crowded at all so can set up in the am and go back and forth for bathroom breaks, nap time, lunch, snacks, you name it.
You can have a fire on the beach!! Huge bonus points for that.
Super quiet neighborhood.
Brilliant thing we noticed- the bottom of the deck has a screen under the floorboards so on top of being screened in on all sides it was also screened in on the floor so NO BUGS while being on the porch!
Things to note:
If you have a baby or toddler, there’s no crib so bring a pack n play. Also, if your kid(s) perfect a bathtub, there’s only showers. We were saved by the outdoor shower because what kid doesn’t like an outdoor shower?!
Bring your own pillow.
Bring ample bug spray, especially while on the beach.
If you want spacious and roomy, this might not be an option. We travel with the same family every year and are lucky all the kids get along but there’s 3 bedrooms, a large kitchen-dining area-family room plus the screened in porch. Perfect for us but if you bring 4 teenagers you might want some more space to spread them out.
Milton is the horseshoe crab capital so you’ll see a LOT of crabs on the beach, both alive and dead. Lol.
