About this property

Luxury cottage, beach blk, 7BR, heated in-ground pool, firepit, linens included!

Welcome to "Gone to Carolina,” our fully renovated cottage in Dewey Beach/Rehoboth by the Sea. This charming home features 7 bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, custom dining table for 10+, front courtyard landscaped for privacy, an oversized balcony with ocean views, and a heated, in-ground, saltwater, backyard pool. The stunning home offers old Dewey charm combined with the luxury of new construction. With multiple living spaces, there is plenty of room for several families to spread out in the main living area, screened porch, front courtyard, rooftop deck, and backyard pool. There is ample parking for 5+ cars, the beach is a mere steps away at the end of the block, and the Jolly Trolley stops a block away. Need a little more detail? Please, read on! The goals for this property were many: lots of bedrooms and comfortable, clean sleeping options, a variety of gathering spots, a gourmet kitchen featuring everything you would have at home, and seating at the table/island/work station for literally everyone. Finally, we wanted to maintain the charm of an old Dewey cottage while also updating all (ALL) amenities, so no detail has been left out here. We added central HVAC, a full sized-washer/dryer, 2 hot water heaters with boosters (NO cold showers here), an outside shower, a BIG fridge and dishwasher that will actually clean the dishes so you can go to the beach! We have stocked the home with board games, and a variety of historical items from the 60s & 70s for kids to play with, such as old telephones, typewriter, encyclopedias, and more. The mature landscaping was preserved, and we added dozens of trees, bushes, palms and pots with flowering plants. With parking for 5/6+ cars (depending what you drive), you will be able to park and walk everywhere, and as mentioned before, the Jolly Trolley stops only a block away.

Great Location, House, and Host
This is the perfect house for a couples trip or family vacation. The listing is 100% accurate and the rental is a block from the beach. It has enough bathrooms to support a large group and it was great to relax by a pool. In terms of location, this is one of the best in Dewey. You are far enough away from the noise but can walk downtown. The host was extremely responsive, the check-in process was easy, and we had no issues during our stay. I would definitely go back and highly recommend it.

Fantastic property & location
To have this quality of house, plus it being a 5 min walk from downtown Dewey is a match made in heaven. The inside (spacious and so much sleeping space) plus the outdoor amenities (pool/grill/firepit) made this one of my favorite places I've stayed in Dewey. high recommend!

The Perfect Beach House!
This property is amazing - close to the beach and to both downtown Rehoboth and Dewey. We loved being able to walk everywhere, but also that there was plenty of parking at the house! The house was extremely well equipped - we cooked every meal there with no issues. The pool was wonderful and all the games at the house made for such a fun stay! Lyn was so easy to communicate with both leading up to and during our trip! We will definitely be coming back.

Rehoboth by the Sea - R&R at its Best
Our family very much enjoyed our late August stay! The ability to walk to the beach, return for lunch, swim, and go back to the beach at night was fantastic. The property is comfortable and well appointed for a family stay. The kids loved the old school candy machine, Hess trucks, games and much more. Great memories made all around!

Delightful Stay in Dewey
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Carolina Street. Of all the houses we’ve rented in Rehoboth/Dewey this was our favorite. The location can’t be beat. You can easily walk into Rehoboth and Dewey from here. Also, it’s a quick walk to the beach which is less congested here than to the north and south. Bathroom space is limited. However if you love an outdoor shower as I do, it won’t be a problem. The kids especially loved jumping in the pool after returning from the beach. The house met all of our needs. Lyn immediately responded to our questions. We will be returning in the future!

Amazing!
Not only was the house spotless and well equipped but there were so many extra amenities that created such a homey warm atmosphere. Little things that weren’t necessary made the house so exciting especially for the children. It’s one thing to have an M &M machine but suppling the coins to feed it, was above and beyond. Toys, games, puzzles, antique motorized trucks, an immaculate heated pool, a fire pit to hang out at night, one block from the beach, every possible kitchen appliance including a sandwich maker/grill, a Keurig and a coffee maker. I could go on but I’ve already gone too far. Lyn was very responsive to any of our needs. Amazing property. I think I let the cat out of the bag and have ruined my chances of being able to book again.

Loved the house
We had a very enjoyable stay in the house! It was clean and the rooms were nicely furnished. There were more than enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone (for most of the stay, we had 6 adults and 3 children; on one night, we had 8 adults and 3 children), and everyone was comfortable. The pool was a delight. The children especially loved it (they sometimes used it several times a day) but the adults also took a dip and swam a little. It was very refreshing. The kitchen was clean and very well stocked with pots, pans, modern kitchen tools. It made for easy meal prep, both for family dinners and quick lunches. Proximity to the beach was super (a walk of just a few minutes - very close). We could easily go back and forth, carrying the load of beach chairs and umbrellas. One large plus - the owners were very responsive, esp when we arrived. They got right back to us with any questions we had which was very helpful. One negative - the walk to Dewey downtown is short (just a few blocks) but along the road and so better to do before nightfall. All in all, I highly recommend the house!

Charming home steps from the beach
My family and our friends enjoyed our stay at this home. The location was great for us - technically in North Dewey but very close to Rehoboth. You can easily walk to the Dewey restaurants and bars, and you can walk (on roads or beach), or take a quick drive, to Funland and the other Rehoboth attractions. We didn’t have any issues with noise. The owners clearly care about their guests - very communicative (including thoughtful recommendations in the house binder), and have stocked the house with fun touches and conveniences (e.g. books, paper products, high chair, pack and play, etc.). The pool and backyard are a lovely oasis. Highly recommend! Thank you, Lyn!

Great house
Everything was advertised and there were a host of things we didn't need to think about such as toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent and dish towels. The bathroom configuration was a little strange. Upstairs 5 people shared two bathrooms and the same downstairs. It wasn't a big deal though. Close to the beach, but 1.3 miles from Rehoboth, so that was a downside. Much more upside than downside. Clearly very considerate owners.

even better than we expected!
Without knowing the Dewey Beach area, it was scary booking a house to accommodate 14 women for a girls' weekend. This house had everything we wanted and was even more spacious and beautiful than it looks in the pictures. The pool was perfection and we loved the location since it was walkable to everything, but not too close to the action. Everything was comfortable and inviting, and we especially loved the screened-in porch for late night chats. Would also be a great spot for families. All communication with the owner was quick and helpful. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Lyn Shoop

Host profile image
We met in Dewey in 1989 on St. Louis Street, and never really left. We raised 3 kids in Dewey, spending summers here on St. Louis Street, and in 2016, we packed-up the family and moved to town full-time. This is the 4th house we have remodeled in Dewey, and we believe we are getting better with each house. If you like this property, but it is too much house for you, please check out our other listings at DeweyBeachRentals.net.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house with the stated purpose of making it an amazing family vacation rental. After flipping a couple houses in Dewey, when we found this property we knew that it had so much potential, for a variety of reasons. First, it is in the beach block on beautiful Carolina Street, known for is quiet uncrowded beach and many homes that have been in familes for generations. The oversized backyard was perfect for a big, fun pool, and was surrounded by mature trees for privacy. The house is situated in the lot perfectly, so there is room to park a bunch of cars - if you know Dewey, you get why this is a huge plus! And to top it off, the charming landscaped front courtyard is going to be a beautiful hideaway for someone who wants to escape the family outside. We are making every effort to retain the cottage charm of this house, while adding all amenities. We hope you will find it as quaint and comfortable as we are aiming to make it. We put together a book of all our favorite attractions in-and-around town, which means we have had to eat at every wonderful restaurant in Rehoboth and Dewey... All we can say is, they're all great! And lastly, why this property? Being from North Carolina, I always aspired to do a home on Carolina Street. And as James Taylor fans, we knew this home would make vacationers love being "Gone to Carolina."

What makes this property unique

COVID-19 RELATED CLEANING UPDATES

We have studied the industry standards for hotels and short-term rentals, and are implementing all applicable recommendations, surpassing many. Although there is hard science showing that the virus does not live on surfaces, we are taking precautions to limit the “touchable” surfaces in our homes. Some examples include: Removing most throw blankets and decorative pillows from the home; Removing many countertop decorative items; Disinfecting books and games, and storing in cabinets or closets; Limiting bedding to pillows with zippered covers, freshly laundered mattress pads, and one simple bed covering per bed. Removing all beach chairs and umbrellas, where applicable.

The complete list of the new cleaning regimes and protocols is available in the Handbook for the house, which is available upon request. (Space is limited in this forum)

There is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas. Proper operation and maintenance (including disinfection with chlorine and bromine) of these facilities inactivates the virus in the water.
