Gary Talley has preserved the charm of the original cottage in honor of his parents and the many good memories he has of their family getting together for reunions at the beach and has maintained the original cottage in pristine condition. He wants other families to enjoy the same wonderful experiences he has been able to enjoy with his family over the years and built on to the home to accommodate family reunions, weddings, corporate retreats, etc. so other groups can experience these special and memorable times. Thus the name Memories was decided on for the home.

Guys Poker Weekend
we had two dozen family and friends for a guys' weekend. The place had lots of room for playing, sleeping and bathrooms. It had several different spaces so people could create and move between different party scenes. It was walking distance from the clubs in Dewey and the breakfast diner. It was perfect for our group.

Impressive house and an amazing stay!
We had a team retreat with colleagues, and everyone loved the stay! We did need to work during business hours, connect to video meetings and so on - the WiFi worked seamlessly. Hottub on a rooftop is an amazing idea - since it's on the roof, it doesn't have insects or leaves falling in. The kitchen had everything we needed (though since all of us are hot tea lovers we would appreciate an electric kettle, but the kettle to heat on the gas stove was also fine with us). All shelves were labled, so it was easy to find things. The beach is clean and super close! The house has an outside shower to wash off the sand. Oh, and there were free beach chairs to use! The TV in the living room has a huge screen, we easily connected it to YouTube from the phone to stream some music :-) Our colleague in a wheelchair (who can't stand up from the wheelchair at all) said that the house was pretty accessible: it has a ramp to enter the house and a great elevator to go to the 1st, 2nd and 3d floors. We did need to open and close elevator doors for him, but it was fine by us. An elevator worked fine, tolerated the weight of a very heavy electric wheelchair and never broke down - that was the main thing! Everything was clean and working. The property owners were always ready to answer any questions we had and helped us with our inquiries pretty quickly. Would totally recommend the place!

Excellent Weekend
We stayed at Memories over the 4th of July week in 2023. There were 6 Families with 27 people. Everybody had an awesome time! House was only a short walk from the beach. We were able to watch the fireworks from the roof. The hosts (Gary and Debbie) did an excellent job communicating with us both before and during our stay. The arranged a Bonfire on the beach and assisted with caterers during the week. The hosts were always responsive even during the weekend/holidays over the 4th of July. We loved the location of the house as it was within walking distance of many restaurants and bars in Dewey Beach and was a 15 minute walk from the Rehoboth Boardwalk. There was a Trolly stop less than 1 block from the house for those days when people preferred to ride. We would definitely stay again!

An absolutely perfect family reunion
We are 21 demanding family members from 3 to 83 years old and from London to San Diego. We always look forward to our summer beach reunion and we have become experts at all the various possibilities from Rehoboth to Lewes, DE. “Memories” is a most welcoming, ample, and comfortable mansion on a lovely stretch of Dewey Beach. It’s owners gave us every reason to want to come back in future years. Gary Talley and his assistant Debbie were truly lovely hosts, bringing us little gifts every day and attending to every need. The house itself is magnificent and incredibly well appointed. We love to cook and we never lacked for all the right equipment. The gigantic family table seated us all! Every detail seemed provided for and the residential suites were very comfortable for each subset of our family. Our hosts even found us a chef for our final evening’s birthday celebration! We would recommend Memories wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a very special stay and we certainly hope to come back some day to enjoy the rooftop, hot tub, kitchen, and great room all over again.

A weekend to remember
24 members of my friends and family stayed here for my wedding. From the beginning, Gary and Debbie were helpful, pleasant and quick to respond to any questions I had. Although the house is huge and has a lot of moving parts, Debbie was there at check in and showed me and my wife how to use every piece of equipment. 5 families stayed in this home comfortably and had enough privacy. We would recommend this place to any big family or friendly gathering. We hosted our rehearsal dinner up stairs in the great room and fit 35 without a problem. We would love to stay here again.

Wonderful Experience
We were looking for a beach house that met many diverse needs and Memories did not disappoint. 20 people (12 adults, 8 kids) slept comfortably in the roomy bedrooms and the private bathrooms were a plus. The great room accommodated our needs when having large group meals and kids’ activities. The view was beautiful and it was a 1 block walk to the ocean which is super helpful with lots of kiddos in tow. The ocean was too cold to swim given the time of year so the pool and hot tubs were used several times by our party and were a huge hit. Gary and Debbie were very attentive with daily visits to check on the pool and hot tub and deliver treats, and responded quickly to our questions. Property was very well maintained. Handicap accessibility was important to our party and everything was updated and in good working order. The pool was accessed by a chair lift and then a few stairs, so it was not available to our guest due to his needs but could be available to those who had some mobility. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and hope to book Memories again.

A great place to stay!
We had my brother's bachelor at Memories, and I can't say enough great things about our experience! The house was immaculate and was able to fit us all (all 30 of us, that is). There was plenty of room to either hang out as a group or hang out in the suites in much smaller groups. And the rooftop had a great view of Dewey Beach and the ocean. Plenty of seating for all the guests! Debbie and Gary were great host! They were very friendly and made themselves available to our requests as well as providing snacks. I would definitely go back and rent from them!

Great New Years Experience
This house was the perfect location to get a 25 person weekend getaway. Gary was very helpful with anything we needed and even stopped by every day to adjust the hot tub and bring us gifts. Debbie was great to talk with for the pre-check in call organizing all the rooms for our stay and making sure we had everything we needed. The pictures do not do this house justice. The rooftop area gave a beautiful view to the beach and to downtown Dewey. Everyone is hopefully looking forward to doing it again next year or in the summer

About the host

Hosted by Gary Talley

Host profile image
Gary Talley was born and raised in Delaware and spent many enjoyable Summers with his family in the Rehoboth/Dewey Beach area. His parents built the original cottage in 1962 and Gary has fond memories of his family enjoying each other with lots of good food, fun and laughter! Gary wanted other families to be able to enjoy the home and make the kind of memories he cherishes with his family and friends so he built onto the original cottage to make it the grand 7500 square foot of useable space home it is today! His investments in Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway Company helped make this dream a realty and he is happy to discuss investing with any guest who is interested.
After spending many years in the Midwest as a Private College President, Gary now makes his home in the Rehoboth/Dewey Beach area and enjoys greeting and getting to know the guests of Memories, often bringing them gifts of doughnuts, candy, popcorn, beer, or wine during their stay! Gary also enjoys taking guests for rides in one of his classic cars, especially his 1957 Ford convertible!
His assistant, Debbie, and he worked together as College Administrators in the Midwest. Debbie, also a former College President, works with all the guests on a personal basis helping them in planning the perfect vacation, reunion, special event, or corporate retreat. Debbie conducts pre-occupancy calls with all guests to ensure that everything in the home is ready and set up the way they request for their arrival. She loves doing everything possible to ensure everyone has a fun and memorable time during their visit and is always available to answer questions or do anything she can to provide the best possible experience for the guests of Memories.

Debbie has been very instrumental in Memories achieving Luxury Home Designation, Premier Partner status and over 40 five star reviews from very satisfied guests!

What makes this property unique
