Nice home/Great Location
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.

Awesome stay in July!
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.

Great time
Our family of 4 and dog had a great stay! The proximity to the beach was great! The wine and Dolles taffy was a very sweet welcome gift. The decor was super cute. The storage was plentiful and all the little trays, bins, etc made it really easy to keep things organized and tidy during our stay. We usually have to bring things like hand soap for the bathroom sinks, paper towels, napkins, etc. All of those items were supplied which was a nice surprise. There were some biting flies, but they weren't a big problem. We made sure to use bug spray and kept the outside fans, under the house, on when we were outside, and it wasn't an issue. Gina recommended a movie night on the beach, and it turned out to be one of our favorite evenings. My husband and I shared a bottle of wine while our boys enjoyed ice cream from the cute country store, while watching a movie under the stars with our feet in the sand. It felt very Americana and a great memory! Daily walks on the beach were so relaxing. The water was calm and the beach was never crowded. We had family staying in OC and made the trip up almost every night, so we didn't experience any local restaurants but breakfast and lunch from the local store was quick and easy. Overall a great time was had by all, and we will definitely be back.

Peaceful Week with the Family
We loved our time at Dawn's Cottage! It was just as cute as it looked in the picture. The beach was very private and an easy walk across the street. The kids saw dolphins playing in the waves the first day we got there. The space was perfect for me and my husband, two kids, my mom, and the dog. The kitchen had everything we needed including some thoughtful welcome gifts. It's about 20 minutes to Lewes, and 15 the closest grocery store which was a nice trade off for the solitide once you get to the cottage. The Broadkill store at the end of the road had the very basics including pizza, ice cream, and ice but we found we were going to Lewes every day or two and could stock up when we went in. We like to cook all our meals at the cottage with a only a few times eating out through the week and the location worked perfectly for that. Some of the concerns from other reviews seemed not to be a problem for us- there was minimal construction noise the week we were there. The black flies were out a couple days but easily managed by taking bug spray to the beach with us. Overall we loved the place and had a great week!

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!

Comfortable
We vacationed all around the Delaware shores with family for many many years. We love trying new towns. This year we tried Broadkill beachs. I always come prepared for a new experience by doing my homework. The rental was perfect. The area wasn’t, way too remote for feeding a family. No restaurants or food stores without traveling 10 miles. The beaches were beautiful but way to many bugs. Three of us were stung w jellyfish. The General store was such a disappointment. Not even bread. All of us are covered with bits from flies and mosquitoes.

Aaaaaaaaaah!
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.

Fantastic cottage! Unfortunate BKB construction.
This was my second visit to Dawn's Cottage. I really love it there. Clean, well-maintained, exactly as advertised, dog-friendly. It has everything you need for an easy trip and the welcome goodies are a nice touch. The balcony and location across from the public access to the beach are fantastic. I just wish the construction in Broadkill would stop. I've spent a good chunk of my life in Broadkill and the DE beaches, and the best thing about Broadkill has always been that it is a super quiet neighborhood. You could sit out for hours and hear nothing but the water, wind and birds. Cars on Bayshore Drive were infrequent. You'd more likely come across someone on foot or a bike. Now, with all of the construction to put up giant vacation rentals, the sounds of nature have been replaced with hammering, drilling, heavy machinery, and big trucks rumbling down Bayshore to the many construction sites. For the first few days of this stay, the cottage was filled with the noise of a driveway being put in two doors away at a newly finished house. That project stopping just made the other construction noise nearby more audible. I had hoped the construction that was going on when I visited BKB in January was a seasonal thing, but no. Folks are building through the high season, too. And, the big rentals seem to be drawing the rowdy crowds you find in Ocean City or Rehoboth. I hope the chilled out, nature-focused, hidden gem character of Broadkill does not disappear entirely.
