Waterfront nature-lover's retreat on wildlife refuge in Prime Hook Beach 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 and action but tucked away from the traffic and crowds. We’re you're kind of place if you enjoy: -Spending your morning surf fishing, kayaking or walking the natural/uncombed beach while searching for treasures. -Spreading out on an uncrowded beach to read your book in peace.-Watching migratory birds and sunsets over the refuge water from the comfort of our huge windows or back porch. -Catching crabs off the bridge and cooking them for dinner.-Birdwatching from the many close-by trails. -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.
