♦︎ Waterfront ♦︎ Pet Friendly ♦︎ Broadkill Beach ♦︎

“I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.” ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Clear your mind and relax in all that nature has to offer, welcome to Snow Goose, a bright open bungalow. Nestled among the evergreens and beach plums, just steps from the sandy dunes of Broadkill Beach. Two bedrooms and one bath, we have queen beds in each bedroom and a twin daybed in the main living area.


Broadkill Beach is located on the Delaware Bay, just north of Cape Henlopen and Lewes Beach. Broadkill offers public beach access for swimming, surf fishing, and boating and kayaking in the gentle waters. As a natural beach, there are no lifeguards. The community is surrounded by Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and Beach Plumb Island Nature Preserve, making it a haven for nature lovers and bird watchers and other wildlife. Broadkill Beach is an official sanctuary for horseshoe crabs, the state marine animal of Delaware and a "signature species" of the Delaware Bay Estuary. Truly a magical place.

Rehoboth Beach is approximately 20 minutes south of Broadkill Beach.
The only business located in Broadkill Beach is The Broadkill Store, a general store sometimes referred to by locals as the "Broadkill Mall," which sells sandwiches, grocery items, bait & tackle, beach toys, souvenirs and homemade donuts on the weekends.

Historic Milton offers shopping, dining and Night life. The Milton Theatre, restored local venue offers comedy, music and eclectic performances. Dogfish Head Brewery always has a party, tastings, mammoth grill always cooking something tasty.

Quiet getaway
This is our second time staying here and the house fits our needs perfectly. From the short walk to the beach or the close proximity to golf or Lewes for dinner. The house is starting to show its age but would not stop me from renting again. Power washing the house and getting a 5th chair for the table would go a long way. I would give the house a 10 out of 10

At the beach
The location is awesome. One step from a year round dog friendly beach. A rare find. This is a location to come to to get away and relax / away from the crowds as it is off the beaten trail. With that thought in mind the kitchen area becomes more important. While it served its purpose we are excited to see what Terry does to make even better when we return!

Very nice place to stay for a family vacation.
Overall my family had a very nice vacation here. We would come back again. The location is nice. The house is nice and spacious for the amount of people we had. The deck was very nice for outside relaxing. We had to cleen some cooking utensils and plates before using them. The path to the beach was very grown in and we had to break off some branches of the bushes to walk through. Also the head to the outside showe came off while my wife was using it and almost hit her. It went back on, but i don't think it is very secure. Aside from the small things, it it a very nice.place to stay.

Snow Goose Delivers!
Snow Goose, right on Broadkill Beach, was just perfect for a quiet friends' week for me and two girlfriends. The house is small and very nicely kept, and the location is a dream: on a quiet street, right down the way from the Broadkill Store and literally facing the bay, with easy access to a super-quiet sand beach. Plus, it's a really short, easy drive to Milton town center (with a small restaurants and cafes, Walgreens, a full-sized grocery and liquor store, etc.) and just a drive up the highway from the busier Lewes. Owner Terry was great, answering questions and making our stay easy. Recommend for anyone wanting a chill Delaware oasis outside of the more tourist-centric beaches!

Not for us
The property is as pictured and offered everything in the description with very easy access to the beach. The fireplace has a sticker that says do not use, which was no concern during our summer visit. It was pretty clean although there were socks found under couches when I swept and cobwebs on light fixtures. The outside could use some power washing, though I understand it is end of season. The toilet paper holder fell off the wall. Beds were not comfortable. The house does not supply bath mat or dish towels. The check-in was easy and communication with property manager was pleasant. We would not recommend this property because the sewer pipe is near the outside of the second bedroom window and occasionally makes the room smell like sewage. It was prevalent enough that my young boys did not want to be in the room and I initially crawled all over searching for dog poop, it was at times that strong. I had my children sleep in the living room floor while we were there. We left halfway through our trip. I did communicate with the property manager who came by to make sure there was no leakage and was very cordial. The manager refunded our pet fee as we did not end up bringing our dog. We appreciated that gesture. Lastly, the beach is at times swarmed with relentless biting flies, which has nothing to do with the property but I feel the need to warn other families. DEET is more necessary than sunscreen.

Already want to go back!!
I think the pics must have been taken on a cloudy day because this home was so much brighter in person!! It was 95 and sweltering when we moved in,but the AC was already running for us. 95% of this home has been updated and is absolutely gorgeous!! For some reason i thought the BR looked like a stall shower only, but it was big, and that was also a nice surprise. Bring your food and toiletries and there's no reason to leave! Beach during day, deck in the evening, perfect relaxing vacation! Beach is maybe 200yds away and there is hardly anyone there!!! We left our beach gear right at the dunes edge each day...very safe vacation community. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, and most of all, thank you for allowing our sweet four-legged family!!!

Great little beach house
Excellent place for a couple or a small family who are just looking for relaxing days at the beach. The little house has just about everything you need including a great deck for evening sitting. TIP - Bring lots of bug spray, Broadkill is know for it biting flies.

Peaceful, relaxing weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Snow Goose property on Broadkill Beach. The property was very clean and well maintained. We were just steps away from a quiet, non-crowded beach. We are already planning our next stay. I highly recommend this property if you're looking for a relaxing getaway in a charming location.

Beautiful Beach House
Best beach house EVER! We stayed here last year and had to come back. Terry is so easy to deal with. This amazing house is clean, comfortable, and convenient. The house sits right on Broadkill Beach with a beautiful deck and easy access for humans and doggos. Our pup loves this place too. He loves sitting on the deck or laying on his bed inside. Nice kitchen that is well stocked with necessities. Beds are comfy. Bathroom is just enough for 2 adults. Lots of places to sit and read or watch some tv. Convenient to Rehoboth and all beaches south and lots of other activities. Love this place and will definitely be back!!! ❤️

So the place was nice, accessibility to beach was slim, overall beach area was small, house was ok, if you are a bigger guy like myself, the bathroom toilet is a squeeze in. Bugs are down right nasty, my wife and I got attacked the 1st day there. There is room for improvement here.

Perfect place for two people and a dog. Great beach access - some houses to the north do not due to some erosion. Owner was quick to accommodate an additional day. This is our third time renting this house and it won’t be our last.

Snow Goose Cottage
We really enjoyed our week at this property. It is very clean and has a nice set up with the open concept living area brightly lit by windows on all 3 sides on the beach side of the house and the bedrooms on the street side. We loved the wrap around deck and spent most of our time sitting outside with our dog. The only downside was not being able to see the water when you’re sitting on the deck because of the height of the dune next to the deck. Other than that, our week was excellent and we loved the cottage. We like places that are sparsely populated when we go to the beach and Broadkill Beach fit the bill, and we really appreciated the fact that the cottage is dog friendly since our dog goes everywhere with us.
