Welcome to cozy Broadkill Beach! You have arrived at a paradise location for your vacation that provides opportunities to create wonderful new family beach memories. Beachfront Tranquility is totally oriented to the water. Every room has some view of the water. Straight out in front of you are the beach and water. Our private, very short walkway gets you immediately to your beach. Enjoy our four-bedroom beach home with outstanding unobstructed views of Broadkill Beach, Delaware Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Broadkill is considered a "Low-density area", so you will indeed get a wonderful quiet experience for your family time together!
We provide Contactless check-in with a keypad door - the keypad access code will be sent to you just prior to your arrival.
The decks give you unobstructed views of the beach and water. Our guests enjoy watching from our decks their children playing on the beach. You can watch the array of wildlife as gentle waves dance in before your eyes. The house is a quiet haven to relax, work, and just unwind.
The beach, at our end of South Bayshore Drive, is extremely isolated. There is no street parking so no one else can access our beach. No permits are needed for parking. Our driveway can hold 9 cars. You will be lured into taking long, peaceful, walks in either direction where you may see dolphins, crabs, eagles, osprey, owls, hawks, and other wildlife. The wide, flat beach creates a huge playground for games and fun for beach lovers of all ages. The water is warm and shallow, with a smooth sandy bottom.
For your convenience we provide for you the following:
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand lotion, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent pods, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, multipurpose cleaner, trash bags - both for recycling and regular - olive oil, assorted spices, drip coffee filters and liquid soap for the sinks. In addition, we provide linens and towels: 13 of the following: fluffy white bath towels, beach towels, hand towels, washcloths, makeup washcloths and kitchen towels.
For families we also have available: Graco Pack and Play, crib sheet, highchair, silicone infant plates and utensils, children's plates, cups and utensils, Aveeno baby shampoo and lotion, board books, children’s books, board games, and a craft table with paper.
Prior to your arrival I will send out a list of recommendations of places to go, restaurants, grocery stores and other information to help you get prepared for your trip to our paradise.
Every bed gets the following: soft sheets, blankets, bedspread/quilts, pillow protectors, pillowcases, and pillow shams. Every week all the towels and linens are commercially laundered. In addition, the bedspreads, pillow shams and blankets are also commercially laundered. We send over 125 pounds of laundry every week to be cleaned. These laundry costs are part of the cleaning fee for the house.

Amazing views, well-equipped home, wonderful host
This was the perfect accommodation for our 13 family members spanning four generations. The view and location cannot be topped. The home is so beautiful, spacious, and well laid out. We loved sitting on the deck, kayaking, walking the beach, and enjoying the hot tub. The fully equipped kitchen was icing on the cake. Tess made us feel so welcome and able to relax and enjoy.

Perfect beach house
You will not find a more perfect place for your beach vacation than Beachfront Tranquility. Tess is incredibly responsive and caring about her guests with great communication and many tips to offer. The house is incredibly well appointed for a large family who enjoys cooking, games, and easy access to the beach. Our littlest 2 year old easily navigated the path to the beach and was able to be very independent in the calm shallow waters of the bay. The kayak and hot tub are big hits with the older boys and the well appointed kitchen with our culinary crew feeding our large group. When you walk through the door of Beachfront Tranquility you see directly through to the ocean - and it's that way from anywhere in the house. Even on gloomy or rainy days, you can sit in virtually any room and still view and enjoy the ocean. We absolutely love this house - and it's owners!

About the host

Hosted by Tess Wald

Host profile image
Our family has been in love with Broadkill since 1985. We finally realized our dream come true when we made our first Broadkill purchase in 2004. This house, Beachfront Tranquility, right on the beach, we purchased in 2007 and find it to be the place where you can leave the world behind and truly get away. We love sharing this house with renters who wish to create meaningful and memorable family beach experiences.

Why they chose this property

Water, water, and nature. We love the water. We love watching each day how different the water looks. Hands down. And this property, with its unique location immediately at water's edge is our dream come true. No matter what the weather, there is always something captivating to see out of all the windows. Once we walk through the front door, the rest of the world just fades away and we feel we are at a retreat. Yet, we are so close to lots of stores, restaurants, activities and historic adventures. That's only a glimpse into why we love this property.

What makes this property unique

This house brings me to a state of peace that is unique. I look out at the water, and I know I'm "home". We can see and hear the waves from every room. We are literally right on the beach and water. Our wide, flat, beach is great for all types of beach games. The warm water has a sandy bottom and stays shallow for hundreds of feet; perfect for all ages. Our sunroom, an additional room filled with windows, is my private refuge.
