About this property

Relaxing Retreat - Steps to the Beach, Gorgeous Views & Private Dock

Located across from the beach path and with panoramic views of the wildlife refuge, Om Away from Home offers a comfortable home base for a fabulous vacation. You're just steps away from gentle surf for swimming and a beautiful sandy beach for playing and sunning and for your morning runs or sunset walks. Living is easy with outdoor shower, comfortable furniture indoors and out, and both upper and lower decks with gorgeous sunset views.

The house is raised on pilings with the main level one flight up, and features an open floor plan, soaring ceilings in great room and upper BR, and lots of windows and skylights for a bright and airy feeling. Central Air. Fully equipped, newly renovated kitchen with island. Large flat screen TV in living room and main bedroom. Cable, Wi-Fi, and Bose Bluetooth sound.

Step out onto the private rear deck from the kitchen/dining area and relax on comfortably cushioned furniture while sipping morning coffee or cool drinks at sunset. Remote-controlled awning for afternoon sunshade comfort. Great bird-watching! Or relax on chaises or hammock on the deck below.

Launch your kayak or canoe right from our private dock! We provide 3 kayaks at Om Broadkill Beach house for your use. Or bring your own. Rentals also available.

Sleeps 6 in comfortable beds, with 7th, 8th and 9th possible on the pull-out single in living room and the sleeper sofa in the new loft. Linen service is provided for 3 beds for full week rentals.

King bed in the spacious upper level bedroom with sunrise views over the bay and balcony with bay views. Need a quiet corner for work or writing? A large desk with desk chair in the upper bedroom provides the setting. Adjacent tiled bathroom with walk-in shower and over-sized whirlpool tub. A few steps from the primary bedroom is the new loft space with big windows looking out to the gorgeous views of the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge.

Bedroom #2 on main level has a King bed and a comfy chair with ottoman. Bedroom #3 has a Queen bed and lovely water views. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms.

Beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach toys and barbecue grills provided, both gas and charcoal. Game closet and book library too.

If you're looking for a peaceful vacation home that's not crowded by other rental properties, and that has easy access to the beach and gorgeous views, our beach house may be what you're looking for. We provide comfortable furnishings and professional cleaning to assure that you have a relaxing vacation destination.

For a change of pace from Broadkill Beach's tranquility, try the free tour and tasting at Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton. Rehoboth Beach's boardwalk, shops, restaurants, nightlife, and acres of tax-free outlet shopping are a short drive away. Even closer are the historic and charming towns of Milton and Lewes with many restaurants, shops, and Farmers' Market.

It's a bit surprising that with the cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. only a couple of hours away, Broadkill Beach somehow remains uncrowded, unhurried, and something of a hidden treasure... Just right for a dreamy beach vacation.

Lovely beach escape
We really enjoyed our week at the house, and took full advantage of the beautiful natural surroundings. It was well equipped with supplies for exploring and my family managed to snag a couple of crabs. Beach access was convenient and check in and out went smoothly.

Appreciate the kitchen remodeling
Our family vacation has been wonderful again! Our son was busy all day playing in the beach or fishing at the dock. I was busy crabbing all day~ Only 2 future wishes I have for this cozy beautiful place, are 1) bedroom/bathroom updates and 2) electrical outlets at the end of the dock. Mosquitoes and the painful flies are thick near the dock and would love to have a fan or bug zapper plugged out there. Otherwise, amazing in every way~

About the host

Hosted by Candy Berlin

Host profile image
Before buyng our house at Broadkill Beach in 2013, we rented vacation homes at beaches up and down the east coast. Our experiences taught us what makes a home special and comfortable for guests, and that's what we offer you at Om Broadkill Beach. We enjoy kayaking, bird-watching, swimming, bicycling, walking on the beach and hiking the trails in the wildlife refuge - and we love that Broadkill Beach provides a serene and beautiful setting for it all.

Why they chose this property

Om Away from Home at Broadkill Beach is like a magnet drawing us to it. The home is casual and comfortable, and the beach is relaxed and uncrowded. There's a feeling of airiness here - so when you arrive, you just breathe. It was that feeling which sparked the idea for the home's name.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful renovation 2023
Excellent birdwatching
Peace and quiet
Private dock for crabbing or launching the kayaks
Watching the tidal creek waters roll in and out
Easy walks along the beach
Comfortable swimming in the bay
Bonfire on the beach on a cool night
Falling asleep to the sound of the surf
