Great weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway. The location was incredibly quiet—perfect 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!

Beautiful Mother’s Day Weekend Stay

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!

Amazing!

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.

Relaxing and quiet getaway

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.

Wonderful place just across from the beach

The property is on a quiet road with beach access directly across the street. The beach is quiet, only a couple of other families even during a peak week in July - some days we had the beach entirely to ourselves! Waves were calm, you will not be surfing here, but it is perfect for a young child's visit to the ocean, and great for frisbee, kites, and waveballs. The cottage was very well maintained and clean. Kitchen was well stocked, it had everything we needed for cooking. Great water pressure in the showers! Outdoor hose and shower was very convenient for rinsing off after a day at the beach. WiFi worked well with half a dozen devices connected. Gina responded promptly to questions before the rental and the check-in process was super simple. Our pet enjoyed the stay too! Fantastic experience, thank you very much Gina. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet spot at the beach.

Perfect Getaway!

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!

Great Stay at Dawn's Cottage

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.

Broadkill Beach Delight

This property is clean, well-managed and very close to the beach. It’s 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. I’m sure we’ll be back again!

This house was everything we needed, super clean, and we had a great time. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the nice quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was perfect. The only things we ran into that were less than ideal was not knowing we needed to bring our own sheets! So keep that in mind when booking! My husband was not too thrilled to have to run to the walmart at 10:30 at night on a Sunday to get us some! And the cactus in the backyard that our dog kept stepping on (Not the owner's fault, definitely our dog's fault) The bugs were pretty awful because of this year's crazy rain, and my daughter was stung by a jellyfish within 2 minutes of being in the water. But again, none of that was the owner's fault, and is not meant to be negative about her home or the neighborhood! Just have to be real!

Short Stay - Amazong Time

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.

This was our third time staying at Dawn’s cottage, and it never disappoints. The house itself is always clean, no issues with the check in process, and host is a pleasure to work with. Gina is very communicative and helpful with any and all questions. We will continue to come back to this house every summer as long as it’s available.
