About the host
Hosted by Emily
We are the Pappas family from Washington, DC. We bought Dolphin Commute in 2015 just before our first child turned one. Since then, we have spent holidays, summers, and even quarantine making memories at the beach! And along the way we have made updates to the home to make it our own.
Why they chose this property
We chose South Avenue because it is a quiet, private drive and because it is such a short distance to the beach. We love being able to walk from our home into Dewey Beach or to the beach, and we enjoy biking to Rehoboth or over to the bike trails. The driveway is a perfect spot for many cars or for a pick up game of basketball. And our dog and children enjoy the fenced in yard for all sorts of activities!
What makes this property unique
By far the best feature of this home is the massive screened in porch. It nearly doubles the size of the home’s interior and it is where we spend the vast majority of our time. Whether it’s reading with a cup of coffee in the morning or enjoying a family meal or cocktail in the evening, the porch is the place to be. We have spent time landscaping the yard to make sitting on the porch extra appealing for viewing flowers and hummingbirds.
