This house is exactly as described.
An older beach house, about 4 houses and an impromptu wood slat path's walk from Broadkill Beach.
The real hardwood floors, small rooms and narrow doors also hint to the age of the property, but also are key to its charm.
This is not to say the house is without updates. The kitchen and master bathroom are nicely updated, and the massive butcher-block dining table suggests a full complement of guests could easily eat and play in the dining area.
A sunroom extension has been added. A window AC unit keeps the room comfortable as it will heat up pretty quickly, which it can be a tad loud if you are trying to watch things in the evening.
The neighbours are hit or miss, in our experience, which likely relates to whether they live there or are other vacationing renters. However, you didn't have too many to deal with.
The host is great, responsive and keeps the house well cleaned, and reasonably stocked with cups, cutlery, pans, etc.
Broadkill is a secluded, wild beach with only really locals walking around. Dogs are usually off leash, so be careful with your furry friends as some of those dogs aren't well behaved.
Broadkill DOES have jellyfish near the shore. Better for walking, picking up shells, sunbathing and listening to the waves rather than jumping in the water.
Fear not, tho. Rehoboth and Dewey Beach are near, for boardwalks, parties and tourists. Cape Henlopen is even closer ($$) for quiet, groomed, less crowded beach.
