Prime Hook Retreat - Amazing View of the Refuge - Beach Access Across the Street

Newly available in 2023. See our other Prime Hook property at I.D.#1460435.

Prime Hook Retreat is a spacious four bedroom two bathroom house that sits directly on the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge. The house is open and bright with views of the Refuge from the second story living room, balcony, and all four bedrooms. From the front of the house, enjoy the view of the Delaware Bay in the fully enclosed sun room.

This house has plenty of space to spread out! The large sunroom has comfortable couches to enjoy the view of the bay or an afternoon nap. A game table with an assortment of board games and puzzles for fun with family or friends. Or just sit back in one of the chairs and read a good book. The living room has a beautiful view of the marsh with plenty of seating to socialize or watch a movie. Seat the whole family at the large dining table for dinner or games. Or if you like, enjoy that meal on the front patio under the sunroom.

A laundry and full bathroom are on the ground level along with an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach.

Located in the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge, this quiet community is away from the hustle and bustle of crowds and traffic. Enjoy the wildlife, star filled night sky, and wide open sandy beach.

Get the best of all that Prime Hook Has to offer from this house sitting directly on the wildlife refuge and beach access directly across the street. Watch the sun rise over the bay and set across the marsh.


Only 2 1/2 hours from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC, and 25 - 30 minutes to the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, beautiful ocean front Cape Henlopen state park, and historic Lewes. Outlet shopping, fabulous restaurants, and amusements are all a short drive away.

You’re never sure renting a place based off pictures, this place was exactly like the pictures. Very clean and welcoming. I was a little worried about being so far from everything, but I worried for nothing! There was everything we needed in either direction for a short 20-30 minute ride. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The sunset over the preserve was absolutely beautiful. The area was quiet with very little to no traffic. I will definitely rent again.

Loved the location and the roomy size. Very well appointed. The sun porch was the go to place. One thing that I think should be of interest to own is that the. Heatpump should be serviced. Very noisy . Also the heater in the sun room wasn’t responding to settings and it took awhile to come on. All of us would return for another visit. The house is set up to easily work for families with children and pets. Plenty of space to shake the sand from feet or shoes.

The hosts were great, the place was very clean, the location was great. We had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend there. The only surprise was that the second bathroom was not located on the "living floor" where all 4 bedrooms are located, but on the lower level. With 6 people, this was not very convenient.

Came for a nice relaxing weekend and got just that. The house is a convenient short walk across the street from the beach. We had 2 really windy days which actually helped with the mosquitoes. The beach was covered in seaweed, which was a slight bummer but was still pleasant for walks with our dog. The neighborhood is peaceful and people were friendly. Would definitely stay here again!

Great house! The AC was cool when the heat and humidity were too much. Very comfortable and spacious house! Everyone had room to spread out. We had extended family over for dinner and game night and we had plenty of room. The yard was nice for the dogs. The beach was very close. The sunsets off the back balcony were beautiful!! We love PHB!! It’s so relaxing and quiet. The biggest problem we found were the bugs…. They were terrible- the worst we have seen. We were glad to have such a comfortable house to hang out in. We hope to return!!

Utterly magical

What a spectacular stay! The location could not be more gorgeous. We walked back and forth to the beach dozens of times a day (very helpful when you’re traveling with a toddler and a bigger group!) and adored the bird watching and nearby trails. We took advantage of the beach toys, and the wonderful selection of games, and made family meals in the kitchen. We did end up having to drive into town for some supplies (they were out of cooking oil, laundry detergent, and the grill lighter was out of lighter fluid), but we didn’t mind—just want to make sure everyone knows to bring what you need. A few of our party have bad backs and struggled some with the pillows and mattresses, but we loved the place so much we’d come back even with the achey backs. Watching the sun set over the marshes from the little balcony, and the sun rise from the sun room on the plush, comfy couches more than made up for it. A perfect home for a family vacation.
