Welcome to The Shorebird, a peaceful get-away in Prime Hook Beach, Delaware. Fully renovated in 2023, our all season home overlooks the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and sits across the street from the private and quiet Delaware Bay beach. Close to the popular Delaware beaches, Cape Henlopen State Park, restaurants, shopping and action for the kids but tucked away from the traffic and crowds.
We’re you're kind of place if you enjoy:
-Being off the beaten path: we're just a small community of homes along the bay and the refuge.
-Sunrise-watching, surf fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding across the street.
-Spreading out or walking the long, natural/uncombed beach while sharing it with horseshoe crabs, shorebirds and treasures that change with the seasons.
-Watching migratory birds and sunsets over the refuge water from the comfort of our huge windows or back porch.
-Catching crabs or fish off the bridge and cooking them for dinner.
-Kayaking, fresh water fishing and birdwatching from the many close-by trails.
-Taking the bikes for a spin through the refuge and neighboring farmland.
-Heading out to the close-by historic towns of Milton and Lewes for great restaurants, antiquing and shows.
-Ending the night with drinks and a fire on the beach.
-Staying in and cozying up to the gas fireplace while stargazing out the picture window.
We strive to have a clean and organized home so that your stay is comfortable. Our guests love the many amenities we provide so that you don't have to pack them: quality sheets & towels, plenty of blankets and pillows and a well stocked kitchen.

Summary: We had an incredible stay at The Shorebird! Everything has been completely renovated/updated and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials—and then some. The house was spotless and beautifully maintained. We have never stayed in such a welcoming rental, it instantly felt like home away from home. The location was absolutely stunning, with a peaceful nature reserve right behind the home and large windows that let us take in the serene views and the small private beach just across the street. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We especially loved watching the beautiful sunset over the water every night from the back porch, Julie & Donovan also went above and beyond with entertainment options—bikes to explore the neighborhood, a great selection of games and puzzles, and a record player we absolutely loved. They had something for everyone with their selection of records. It was the perfect addition to a relaxing stay and created such a cozy, nostalgic vibe.Our family had a blast escaping the hustle and bustle in this quiet, isolated island town, yet we still enjoyed the nearby shopping and local brewery, just a short drive away. We have never vacationed in Delaware before, but we can almost promise more visits in the future. Absolutely no complaints—this place exceeded our expectations in every way. We’ve found our new happy place and can’t wait to book again!

Summary: The house and surroundings are incredible. We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the birds and from the living room windows. The rooms are large and the owners provide everything you need and more. Very clean! This house borders the National Wildlife Refuge and the views are stunning. We were able to kayak in the Refuge area. The staff at the visitors center were very helpful. It is quiet and peaceful and a short drive to Dewey and Rehoboth. We highly recommend this location for a stay in the Delaware Bay area. Our rating would be a 10!

Summary: Can’t say enough about this wonderful vacation home. The house is incredibly clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, the location is amazing. House is very well stocked with everything a family might need, bedding is fresh and new and comfy. Views of the nature preserve are stunning, and the calm and quiet private beach is only steps from the door. We were over there multiple times a day, for beachcombing and walks (April weather was lovely but too chilly for swimming). A quiet location and easy to get to the busier beaches and towns nearby, we did lots of exploring around the area. It was a perfect fit for our family of five. Julie the host was fantastic - very communicative, shared lots of details about the house and nearby amenities that helped make our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend. We hope to be back soon!

Summary: We had a great visit! Host answered all our questions about the area before we arrived and we're responsive to questions when we arrived. Checkin was seamless and everything was as shown in the listing. Kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook a full thanksgiving meal without issue! This area is beautiful and we enjoyed beach walks and the wildlife refuge. If you want a quiet getaway with no crowds but lots of nature and great house this is the place!

Summary: This house is perfect for a serene getaway. We came for a long weekend in November, so definitely the off season for a beach community. It was wonderful to sit on the back porch and not hear a single human sound, just the birds and the breeze rustling the marsh grasses. The house itself is sunny and clean and beautifully decorated. We especially loved the fireplace and the amazing kitchen. I'm already dreaming about coming back!

Summary: Our stay at *The Shorebird* was magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home, as though we’d known the owners for years. The house was beautifully curated, impeccably clean, and decorated to perfection, setting the stage for an incredibly relaxing and memorable family getaway. The thoughtful design and decor truly made the house feel like a retreat, providing a welcoming space for unwinding and reconnecting. The location couldn’t have been more ideal. Everything we wanted to do—bird watching, beachcombing, bike rides, crabbing—was either a short walk away or a brief drive. Waking up to the peaceful surroundings of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and having the private beach just across the street was beyond special. We spent early mornings watching sunrises over the bay, enjoyed family crabbing excursions, and ended our days with beachside fires under the stars -- and comets! Communication with the owners was easy, quick, and comfortable, which added even more warmth to our stay. They clearly put a lot of thought into creating a well-stocked, welcoming environment with everything a family could need—from quality, comfortable bedding, to beach and bike gear. The Shorebird gave us the rare chance to slow down, reconnect with each other, and soak in the beauty of this unique place. We left refreshed and grateful for such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path escape.

Summary: We’re so happy to have found such a wonderful place to stay. So very impressed with all that Julie & Donovan had to offer. They were readily available to answer any question & help along the way. Their place far exceeded our expectations. They had all the amenities of home and so much more. Gorgeous views & sunset !! Hope to return in the future

Summary: This was my second trip to Prime Hook Beach in September and my first stay at this property. The owners have thought of everything from kids' toys to kitchen implements to labels on the light switches. I love the real plants in the house, too. There are plenty of bikes and beach chairs. The bed is comfortable. The view of the wildlife refuge is stunning. I spent a great deal of time on the back porch. I've rented many houses and condos from VRBO, and this was the best.

Summary: The house is just as described and so much more - neat and orderly, beautifully decorated and well-appointed with quality linens, soaps, kitchenware, furnishings, etc. It definitely feels like a true home away from home. My children loved being in the house more than going to the beach! There were games, puzzles, books, indoor and outdoor toys for a range of ages, bath toys, and a record player with their favorite Raffi songs! Julie was a great communicator and a welcoming host. I wish all rental homes could provide such a pleasant and high quality experience! Thank you for sharing your lovely beach home with our family.
