Heron’s Haven- a dog friendly beach oasis

Wowza! Wait til you see our 2025 finishes! 2 brand new bathrooms, a new kitchen and all new furnishings! We are ready for spring/summer 2026!

Welcome to paradise! Heron’s Haven in Primehook Beach, DE is back to nature with all the comforts of home. Just out your front door you have a wrap around deck with beautiful views of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, great for bird watching and relaxing as the evening sun sets in the west. Early morning you enjoy a beautiful sunrise and are just steps away from the entrance to a dog-friendly, not-crowded beach on the Delaware Bay. Yes, our house is pet friendly with a pet fee!

Heron’s Haven is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy time with family and friends. The house is a recently built (2002), open and airy, sanctuary that sleeps 6-7 people. The 1st floor of the house has an open living area which includes a large living room with cathedral ceiling, the deck, and a kitchen and dinning area, all with views of the wildlife refuge. This level also includes a full-size (double) bedroom, full bath, and a bedroom for the kids with 2 single bunk beds and a trundle below.

The third bedroom is the entire second floor that overlooks the first floor as well as the wildlife refuge at the back of the house. It has a queen bed, a full bathroom and it's own balcony overlooking the refuge.

Family meals? The house has a well equipped kitchen and a dining area. Beach toys? The house storage area has many beach chairs to choose from, kites, boogie boards and large floats/boogie boards.

We hope you enjoy the time to unwind and escape the beach crowds to spend quiet time with family and friends.

The place was just what we were looking for-very dog friendly and quiet. The house was gorgeous, extremely clean and had every accommodation. The neighbors were very friendly too. I wish we could have stayed longer to use the kayaks. Maybe next time!!

We had a wonderful stay. Heron’s Haven is beautiful and off the beaten path (which was our goal), so we had an incredible peaceful stay with my family and our very old puppy. There was a flattop grill with a full propane of tank that we used almost each day for making our family dinner. The kitchen was stocked with dishes and included coffee pots with coffee to use. The whole house was incredibly clean, we did need to supply our own towels and sheets, but we expected this. There was a deck with a wonderful view all around, and we spent quite a bit of time watching sunsets and a beautiful lightning storm. The welcome book had great ideas on nearby activities and restaurants which we used throughout our stay. It was truly a wonderful stay and we would love to return here in the future.

The house has the most incredible views of Primehook National Refuge. It is in a relaxed, quiet, and tranquil beach setting. The home is updated, clean, and well equipped. Everyone in the area was extremely nice and friendly. The home provided everything that anyone could ask for. The host made check-in and check-out extremely easy and quickly responds and communicates with their guests. The home and overall experience is a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be returning.Thank you for a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
