Prime Hook Beach House | Waterfront nature-lover's retreat on wildlife refuge in Prime Hook Beach

3 Bedroom House in Prime Hook Beach, Milford

Fully renovated in 2023, our all-season home is single-story but is elevated on pilings with a garage below. The house overlooks Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and sits across the street from the quiet Delaware Bay beach. Our property backs up to 10,000 acres of protected land that is home to foxes, deer, rabbits and more than 200 species of migratory birds--all of which change with the seasons and can be viewed out the huge windows across the back of the house.
We filled the bright and spacious house with comfortable furnishings--simple, collected and cared for. We like a clean and organized house for your comfort. The open layout lends itself to extended families or friend groups with two spacious king bedrooms (each with their own attached bath) and a bunk room with a hall bath. The large kitchen is well-equipped for you to make your own drinks and meals and there's a gas grill on the deck. The walls are decorated with vintage book plates and lithographs and you'll find plenty of books, games, puzzles and a record player to spin some vinyl. The garage features both an air hockey and ping pong table, bikes for the family, a paddle board and kayak for the bay and plenty or items for the beach so you don't have to pack them (feel free to ask about specifics). We have a large yard for playing and a driveway for plenty of parking.
Prime Hook is a sleepy town--tucked away from traffic and crowds but close enough to the action. There are no stores or restaurants, just our small community of houses. The private beach is part of the refuge so it is a natural, uncombed shoreline with small waves and no lifeguards. Every day is different, but be prepared to find spawning horseshoe crabs (especially in May and June), seaweed, shells and beach stones. Watch the sun rise over the bay and the sun set over the water behind the house. Catch your own blue crabs at the bridge into town--Old Bay and a crab pot await you in the kitchen! We provide firewood for you to make bonfires on the beach and enjoy our gas fireplace during the cooler months. Visit the refuge's welcome center and explore its many trails and programs.
We are less than 10 minutes off the coastal highway connecting to many restaurants, golf courses, shopping, movies, go-kart race tracks, antiquing, waterparks and the Tanger Outlets. Visit the historic town of Lewes where you'll also find Cape Henlopen State Park and the Cape May-Lewes ferry. Close-by and quaint Milton is home to Dogfishhead Brewery, Lavender Fields and the Milton Theater.
We are happy to help make your stay peaceful and comfortable--and are readily available to communicate with our guests. Please inquire with any questions--we hope to share this peaceful spot of the planet with you!

Summary: What a beautiful home. Jill was wonderful and communicated all the details plus more. She thought of everything as the house is equipped with everything you need to feel completely at home. The beach is natural and the neighborhood is so quiet. We highly recommend staying at the Shorebird. We can’t wait to go back!
