If you want a quiet stay at the Delaware beaches away from the crowds, Broadkill Beach is the place to go. The location was perfect as it was a ~20-30 minute drive to Lewes and Rehoboth. It was nice to have a local store that we could ride bikes to for light snacks and ice cream.
The bugs at the Broadkill beach were intolerable for us, but we had a great time at the Rehoboth and Cape Henlopen beaches. The property itself had a perfect layout for our 2 family group and the deck was beautiful but we couldn't enjoy it because of the bugs.
The house was not clean upon arrival. Despite being a pet-free property, there was a LOT of dog hair on the couches and carpets; fortunately we don't have allergies and tolerated the need to constantly brush off dog hair, but this is not the place to stay if you have pet allergies. There had been no attempt to clean away spiderwebs before we got there, which made for a feeling of being guests in the bugs' home, made worse by the fact that there was absolutely no way to kill all the bugs that got into the house upon every door opening. Heavy duty bug spray and anti itch cream are a must!
Overall, it was a generally pleasant stay and good for the 5 kids aged 2-8yo, but we would not choose this property, or anything in Broadkill again, due to the bugs.
