About this property

Elevator! Dog friendly! 2nd house from the ocean. Spring/fall dates avail 2025.

Our cottage is the 2nd house back from the beach and sits on a private driveway shared with our other 2 cottages. Have trouble with steps? We have an elevator that will whisk you from the cement parking pad under the house to the main floor. Or perhaps lugging heavy suitcases up the steps is not something you are fond of. Place them in the elevator and up you go. Our cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, living and dining room, full kitchen, washer/dryer, wifi, a/c and heat, and a covered porch, all on the same floor! There is an additional powder room downstairs and an enclosed outside shower. Up to 2 of your well behaved dogs are always welcome with an additional pet fee. Access to the beach is down the driveway and out to the street, where you can cross over the dune. This means beach goers will not be walking through the property. Please note that we do not rent to groups of singles (with some exceptions for those age 50+), nor to students or recent graduates. The minimum age to rent this property is 40, but please inquire if you are a younger family. We have zero tolerance for partiers. We are LGBT friendly. Please note that we rent Friday to Friday in the summer, with a 3 night minimum the rest of the year. Sheets and towels are not provided, but we can recommend a linen service, if you would like.

Do you have a dog? Dewey Beach is dog friendly! Your dog is allowed on the beach before 9:30 am and after 5:30 pm from May 15th to September 15th. The rest of the year, dogs are allowed on the beach all day. Many restaurants are happy to accommodate your pup if you dine outside. We accept up to 2 well-behaved dogs with an additional pet fee.

Perfect spot, beautiful house.
We stayed for a week with our family and two dogs. Everything was amazing. It was clean, comfortable and close to so many places to eat. Not to mention the ocean being less than half a block away. The owner was helpful and always easy to get in contact with. We will be back for sure.

Great house and location!
A spacious house located off the street with all amenities we wanted for a family vacation with our family. We are planning to come back next year which will be our third visit! The landlord is helpful and friendly. The property is clean and well maintained!

Another great stay at the beach
First time we stayed at the 'middle house' in the three house set owned by the great contact folks -- a bit more room, great ceiling fans everywhere, new Roku setup so we could watch our own streaming services any time, and as always owners really responsive. Hope we can go back next year if spaces are available!

Fanstastic spot for a Dewey Vacation
Enjoyed staying at this house so much! We loved the location, close to Nalu and bay restaurants. It's about a mile from the noisier parts of Dewey, but we love the walk or bike ride. The space under the house was great for storing our bikes and beach gear, and also for a workout! The house is spacious and well-supplied. The windows work well, and the A/c was quiet and also worked well. Ceiling fans in all the rooms. The screened in porch was a hit with all of us, especially my older parents. So glad they allow dogs because that is a must for us when visiting Dewey!

Fantastic location
For location this one cannot be beat. You can see the ocean and walk to anything you need in Dewey Beach. Nonetheless, it is quiet at night. We even walked up the beach to Rehoboth for ice cream. The kitchen is reasonably stocked with utensils and cooking equipment. We were six adults and ate in every night, so we put it to the test! Some of the furnishings are getting long in the tooth, a few seem like they were rescued from a flood. Plenty of closet space. The front porch gets HOT in the sun and is not much use on sunny days. The elevator is a godsend when moving in and out. The host was more communicative and patient. There was some comment about providing a grill but not guaranteeing that propane will always be available. Are we supposed to bring our own tank? A minor quibble and they reimbursed for the Blue Rhino tank swap. We hope to return someday. It was a special week in large part thanks to this wonderful property.

Great single home rental with ocean view.
Upon arrival we were able to get into the house using the lock box as provided by the owners. As we entered, we noticed right away that the home was very neatly appointed, from the sailor lamps to the pictures on the walls. The home also has an elevator which is pretty helpful when unloading your groceries to the kitchen as well as for bringing up your luggage. My husband has knee issues so the elevator was very handy for him throughout our stay. We brought our two dogs, which i thought was amazing that we were allowed to do that. I have stayed in hotels with my dogs before but never in a rental home. This was perfect. Dogs were allowed on the beach anytime prior to 8:30 AM and anytime after 5:30 PM. We had a lot of fun with them on the beach and when they were in the rental and we were at the beach or at night they slept in their crates. I was a little worried about that as my dog had not slept in a crate in a long time but he remembered it fondly and there were no issues. There is a beautiful view of the ocean on the left side of the porch and i had my tea in the rocking chair looking at the ocean each morning. The outdoor shower was awesome with great water pressure and a nice foot spigot for rinsing sand from your feet prior to going upstairs. We used the grill on a few occasions at night. The only thing i would add is that if you do stay here and plan to grill, you might want to bring your own grilling utensils as i only found one big metal spatula upstairs that i was able to use for our burgers and steaks. The rental was very close walking distance to the beach. The owners were very friendly and helpful with any questions during our stay. I was able to message them through the Home Away app and they would call me right away to answer any questions or concerns that i might have. Overall it was a terrific stay in a great property, with very friendly and helpful owners.

Beautiful Home - Ideal Location
We had excellent communication with the owner throughout the process. The home was well stocked with all the kitchen items we may have needed and with some beach chairs and umbrellas too. Overall it is an excellent location, with a sliver of an ocean view from the porch with a 2 minute walk to get on to the beach! We really enjoyed having such a spacious home and appreciate how comfortable and nice everything is.

A Perfect Family Cottage!
We absolutely loved everything about our family's stay at The Cottage. It's the PERFECT location, it was spotlessly clean, and I think even nicer in person than the listing represents. The check-in process was simple, and Valerie was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire communication process. We look forward to staying here again in the future!
