We had a wonderful weekend getaway. The location was incredibly quietâperfect for relaxing and disconnecting. The house was clean, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained. Ideal spot for anyone looking to unwind, with the beach just a short walk away. Will definitely stay again!
Our stay at the cottage was fantastic! The location was beautiful and quiet and just a quick walk to the beach. The house was very clean upon our arrival. The host was a great communicator and answered messages quickly. We loved that we could bring our dog. We would definitely consider staying here again!
My family and I had a wonderful stay! The house was extremely clean. I have a crawling baby on the floor so, I was thankful! Beach access was close, area was quiet. Streets are walkable. Donuts at the local Broadkill store made our stay extra sweet. I will definitely book again.
Dawn's Cottage was perfect!! We were looking for a quiet beach neighborhood between Frederica and Rehobeth and it absolutely fit the bill. One road in and out and nestled between some marsh and the ocean, everything was clean and neat, the space was roomy and had all the amenities we needed, and communication was just about instantaneous. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for the same.
My wife, son and our dog spent three days and nights at Dawn's cottage which we enjoyed very much. The house was exactly as described and with two bedrooms and baths, it was the right size for our little group. We sat out on the front deck in the mornings for coffee, reading and chatting, then strolled across the street to the beach... very convenient. Although it was a bit breezy while we were there, we walked on the beach every morning and afternoon plus spent time fishing and flying our kite. Our dog especially liked the many new smells on the shore. All in all, an excellent break from our usual hectic routines, and we will try to return in the Fall. Thank you.
Dawn's Cottage is absolutely adorable and the perfect place to decompress, relax, and celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. Loved the remote location and beach access, yet still easy to get to Lewes & Rehoboth. We enjoyed trying out some of the hot spots in the helpful binder of local restaurants and attractions. Thanks Gina and Rodney for being such great hosts!
This property is clean, well-managed and very close to the beach. Itâs our second time at this property and our third year staying with the same host.
I recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet place close to the beach. Iâm sure weâll be back again!
The location is perfect for families. Leads to a quiet area of the beach. The house was clean and functioning. We were able to stay at the beach and come back to the house easily! Was everything we needed for a family of 5. Only recommendation is to bring bug spray because after 3pm, the flies are aggressive.
What a lovely beach cottage we found~loved hanging out in tge cottage or beach while my husband was taking his Captâs test in Lewes M~S What a great spot he had to study and relax after~we loved the corner store for the Key Lime Ice Cream and fresh made donuts Sunday morning to take home to Cape May. We will return for sure~ found our little getaway! Peace and Love

Amazing location. I was pleasantly surprised with Broadkill beach. You do have to prepare yourself for the bugs, but we knew that going in. Would definitely come here again.
Our time at the cottage was peaceful and relaxing. It was very clean and well organized. The beach was soothing to my soul and the kids loved collecting shells and watching the crabs!
My friends and I decided at the last minute to do a week-end at the beach. This place and was open and suited our needs as far as sleep accommodations, dogs allowed and walkable to the/a beach - especially one that allows dogs. Really glad it was available! We had a great trip and also enjoyed the Broadkill store and weekend donuts! If you need a little more excitement, Lewes, Henlopen, and Rehoboth/Dewey are not too far away.
The house was very nice, however The location is not the best. The beach is very isolated and has a lot of dead Horseshoe Crabs. There was a 25 to half an hour drive to a market and or entertainment. The location is very inconvenient to someone with a small child not to mention the smell of the beach. Or marsh
This is the second time we stayed here and I can't say enough about how satisfied we were/are with the location and property/accommodations (satisfied with the cleanliness too!). It is comfortable to hang and watch tv, to cook and enjoy a meal together or sit on the wrap around porch/deck and talk. The bedroom w/ attached shower/powder is a plus (although petite!), washer and dryer - great, the proximity to the beach and the privacy/lack of crowds is wonderful. The trip to Lewes, Henlopen, Rehoboth and beaches/site south is very doable for an evening - even the obligatory OC Boardwalk visit is only about 1 hr one way. This trip, we ventured to Trap Pond State Park and canoed, it was lovely! Finally, we travel with dogs and they love the beach walks and wading and hanging on the deck with Mom and Dad! Thank you Gina - we really enjoyed our vacation at Dawn's Cottage!
My parent's, my dog and I enjoyed our stay at Dawn's Cottage in Broadkill. The home was clean upon arrival, outside and inside. Welcomed with a nice gift and a note. Wonderful out space under the house. There is a gas grill available. Just a few steps to the beach(just watch out for the cactus and a cactus/plant with really sharp burs, especially if your dog(s) is along). So many places are just a short drive away.
Charming, comfortable, and peaceful cottage in a small, quiet bay community. We stayed the second to last week of September and had a relaxing send off to the summer. The perfect place to take long beach walks in near solitude or splash around in the calm waters of the bay. The mosquitoes were something fierce at the homeâs ground level, but were non existent on the lovely upper deck. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She even left us a hand written welcome note with taffy and a bottle of wine. We would be more than pleased to stay again next year.
Adorable Cottage across from the beach. Very clean and everything was in excellent condition. The central air conditioner worked great which was very much needed. The beach is private, beautiful and a short walk from the front door. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were a nice size. To our surprise, there were not many bugs/mosquitoes for its location. Definitely bring bug spray for the flys on the beach. Once you spray, they definitely will stay away. We enjoyed our stay, checking in and out were extremely smooth. We had zero problems with the house during our stay. Everything was wonderful! We will definitely go back!
Yup, that's the sound you make went you're sitting on the deck, enjoying the bay breeze. This little cottage has clearly been lovingly updated and maintained by the owners. Everything was clean and well-organized, very easy to settle in and just start enjoying vacation. It's a small thing, but we really appreciated the way all the light switches were neatly labeled, saves a lot of time with fumbling for the right switch. Most places don't really consider that. Furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen had all the basics. (We prefer to cook on vacation, so we had to improvise a little at times, but we got by.) Would definitely rent this place again. Love the area; the beach is so quiet. We nearly had it to ourselves most days.
