Great House
We stayed here in March 2024. House was very clean, kitchen very good condition and had upscale dishes, etc. Fantastic views! We enjoyed watching the sun rise on the bay, and also watching the sun set over the preserve. Beds and furniture was comfortable. TV easy to use. Instructions from the owner was helpful. It was just 2 of us, but this would be a great place for a family, or larger group. The owners were very helpful, good communication, easy access. Check out was easy. We enjoyed sitting on the bay beach, and easy access to Lewes and Rehoboth.

Family Thanksgiving
Our family has visited Primehook before and this is the best house we have stayed in. With amazing views in every direction, we enjoyed both sunrise and sunset. It was perfect for our family, ages 7 to 70, our group is already talking about our next visit. Everything was as described! The house was well thought out and organized. In general, just a fantastic space. The bedrooms and living areas were comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. When we had any questions or concerns Mike was professional and quick to respond. Thanks again Mike and Laura.

Beautiful and Dog Friendly
Prime Hook is a beautiful place to stay. The sunsets are stunning and the wildlife refuge is peaceful. The beach is unspoiled and dog friendly. Nearby restaurants are dog friendly too. The location of this house is perfect with gorgeous views both of the refuge and the bay, and the beach is a minute away. The house is large, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. So nice to have linens included and beds made. Our family had a great stay.

We had a wonderful week. The location is unbelievable with the marsh behind it, filled with a wide variety of birds and breathtaking sunsets. The kitchen was provisioned with everything we needed (though didn't see a fire extinguisher) without unnecessary clutter and the bedrooms and living areas were usable, comfortable and clean. Having small children with us, we could have used a bathroom with a tub, but were able to make it work. The outdoor shower was a little awkward, with spray coming out in lots of directions, and trying to dodge biting flies. A rough deck edge there resulted in one bloodied toe. The biggest set-back was the mosquitos and biting flies. We expected that being right next to the marsh, but weren't quite prepared for it, especially for the pets. Perhaps a screen door on the ground level would be useful. If you went outside at night, all the bugs attracted to the porch light would come right in. There was some water utility construction in the front yard while we were there but didn't have our water shut off at all and the digger in the front yard was a highlight for the 3 year old in our group. The beach was perfect for wading and swimming without the big waves knocking around the little ones. Thanks for the use of your vacation home. We're looking forward to visiting again.

Very fun week and great home!
This was our 5th summer vacation at Primehook and it never disappoints. We bring 4 very active, sports oriented boys and they are never bored. We spent the days kayaking, skim boarding, paddle boarding, and we took the short drive to Rehoboth one day for putt putt, boardwalk fries and dinner out. The nights were spent building cozy campfires and catching sharks. Yep. A little scary but the boys loved every second. The house is very clean and well kept and the hosts were really awesome. Everything you need to cook with is in the kitchen and amazing sunsets over the marsh. We will be back next year!!!

Lovely getaway
This property was very clean and cute and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and happy. The views from the home were absolutely gorgeous! My only two “wish I knew” moments were 1. to be prepared for the mosquitos, and 2. The grill is charcoal / kind of like a smoker. Neither of these issues impacted our stay significantly and the mosquito issue is probably obvious to anyone who knows the area - we had just never been and didn’t know to prepare. The grill was beyond our ability to figure out but we had no problem using the stove and oven for our needs. All in all it was a super nice, very clean, well stocked vacation home that I would recommend to anyone!

Peaceful beach community
My husband and I were very comfortable in Mike and Laura's house. It was very clean and spacious. The view of the wildlife refuge out the back slider was amazing. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood quiet.We cooked all our meals in the kitchen which was well-equipped. I enjoyed reading in the evenings on the enclosed front porch addition. I got to watch a magnificent fireworks display from there on the 4th of July. The house is perfectly located in a remote, farming community, yet close to the coastal highway for easy access to Lewes, Henlopen State Park, Rehoboth, Dewey and Bethany beaches, and Fenwick Island. We even spent a day in Assateague. Thank you so much Mike and Laura! ~ Deb & Jim
