As you approach, you’ll see that we are fortunate to be located on a small private road with seven homes with the Refuge in our backyard. Our quiet area of Prime Hook Beach is thriving with wildlife - from the deck you could see horseshoe crabs, foxes, ghost crabs, rabbits, toads, multiple species of birds, and the occasional pod of dolphins. We are also a migration stop for Red Knots and Snow Geese, and each year during the full moon in May and June horseshoe crabs come to spawn on our beach. Ready to venture beyond the wildlife refuge? Take a drive to Lewes, Rehoboth, or Bethany for shopping, ice cream, great restaurants, and famous ocean beaches. We even suggest a day trip to Ocean City and Assateague Island.
