Beautiful beach!
Very comfortable home with just about everything you'd need for the beach. We were advised to bring blankets but didn't need, blankets are provided, as are decent pillows. There's also a good selection of family games. AC in the living room is a bit noisy and flies we're annoying but other than that, it was a lovely week! Would definitely rent again.

Location great, house not so much
We have been staying at Broadbill for 9 years and wanted to stay right on the beach this year. The location is perfect ...it's Broadkill. The house wasn't what we expected. We knew it wouldn't be brand new, but it needs some attention. For the price we paid we would.of thought it would of been cleaner and things would work properly. The communication was amazing and ready to help. The house itself needs so much needed repairs.The beach is amazing and not far from the house.

Nice except the bug infest
Property is actually awesome... except it is infested with bugs. Not bed bugs. No roaches. From Googling, they look like silverfish. Bed literally crawling with them after. Worse upstairs. We called the manager. The guy came and tried to treat it himself. He seen the bugs and we saved some in a bag for him also. Didn't help. We only had use of the first floor due to the infestation severity. We paid A LOT of money for this place. First time we ever splurged our savings on a beach house expensive vacation. Pretty disappointing. Thought we should've had a 50% AT LEAST refund honestly, if not even a complete refund. Very disheartening. To us, that was a lot of money, especially to not even be able to use the property.

Nice quiet home
Fairly accurate to photos, 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. Very quiet street and we enjoyed the easy access to the beach! The home had some cleanliness issues that were not the fault of the cleaning service but from previous renters.
