Great location and layout for my Daughter's wedding weekend!

We rented the property for this past week for my daughter's wedding. The location was perfect because the wedding was across the street. We had a small Welcome Party and After-Wedding breakfast and the layout was perfect. There are two nice size decks, one looking out to both the bay and ocean. The kitchen is a very nice open size, perfect for entertaining! The new furniture in the livingroom was nice as well. Anytime I had to reach out to the owner, Jen, she was very quick to reply and answer our questions. The only issue was a surplus of ants in the kitchen. We did use traps and were mindful of crumbs and food being left out, but it wasn't preventable. I would think a professional spraying, etc., would be helpful. You do want to be sure to bring your bed linens, towels, etc. The house sleeps 12 with 3 bedrooms. The madter bedroom has a king bed and then a side nook that has a queen bed, bunk beds and futon. Privacy would not be great for separate couples, but that room would be great for a big family. Also, we brpught a dog, so it worked well with having a crate. Overall, our stay was great, the location was super convenient to many restaurants, storescand the wedding venue. We would definitely stay again and hope to do so!

Great location

The house has a great location, close to beach access. The house was well equipped with everything you would need. Tons of spacious room. The Hottub could use a good clean, it was a little grimy.

Great location

The location of this place was excellent. The kitchen was spacious and the living area very pleasant. Plenty of bed choices. I was not happy that the hot tub was not clean enough to use. There were a lot of ants from the moment we arrived, which was annoying. And the furniture is quite worn. We still enjoyed our stay, and it would be excellent with some added attention.

Great stay

We were looking for a last minute getaway while the kids were in spring break. It wasn’t exactly swimming weather but it was still great to be able to walk to the beach and hang out. The house was great as well. The kids loved it. Thank you.

Golden Stay

We were in town for the Dewey Golden Jubilee. Our golden retriever loved the property -- of course, so did we. Everything with this house was exactly as described. It felt like home from the moment we arrived. It was also centrally located to all of the activities. The weekend could not have been better. Looking forward to staying here again when we come down for the next Jubilee.

Would stay again!

This property was great. Having never been to Dewey Beach I was unsure what to expect. But the house is a 50 yard walk to the beach, across the street from a marina, and walking distance to everything you need. House was clean, beds comfortable and checking in was easy. Had a couple questions for homeowner and she responded immediately. Would consider staying here with my family in the future.

Perfectly fun relaxing home! Great time with dog, teens and their friends!

it was great to be able to get a partial week in summer, so hard to get everybody away at the same time! My kids were able to invite their friends, and loved the big sleeping nook in the primary bedroom! with the bathrooms on the first floor with the bedrooms and laundry, everything was so convenient! There’s so many places to hang out upstairs in the living area with a front and a back deck there was always outdoor space available, no matter the time of day you could find something comfortable, the beach and bay views from front deck was an absolute highlight! Lovely to have coffee in the morning while the teens slept! The 2 mile walk to Rehoboth made boardwalk activities, accessible, as did the jolly jolly trolley just across the street by the Hyatt. Staying in a somewhat older home with a cool 80s vibe, was very relaxing with teens who can be so hard on things! The hot tub was a massive bonus! a little hard to get in and out of for the middle age set, as it was quite high off the ground, and a little far for the stairs that are provided, but certainly manageable! The fireplace was such a fun bonus on the one dark, and stormy day that we had, it was so cozy to read by, watch, movies, play games and do puzzles, we may have enjoyed our rainy day the most! Hope to come back next year! When I had a question about ceiling fan function, the owners got right back to me, and were extremely helpful!

Classic dewey beach home

Stayed with friends for a wedding weekend in dewey. Location was amazing. The house was clean and better than the online photos! There were a lot of ants all over the top floor. I know it is inevitable but just FYI. Otherwise very clean, had lots of sun during the daytime through widows, enjoyed sun in the porches, and great communication from the host! Would visit again!

Almost perfect

The location of this house is awesome- we had toddlers with us and it was an easy back and fourth from the house with them. Definitely had a good amount of space in the house and we really loved all the seating the living room offered. Host was quick with responses. Would definitely have given this place a five star rating if it had the hottub. Was informed less than a week prior that the hottub was “in the process of being replaced” unfortunately I see this happen a lot with places listing a hottub as an amenity and it makes it hard to trust hosts who claim they have a working hottub. we would not have even considered renting this house if it didn’t have a hottub. The weather during our stay was pretty bad and we could’ve spent those dreary days relaxing in the hottub which is why we like that feature.

Why they chose this property

This place is fabulous for all - kids, adults, etc. with lots of open air restaurants and bars within walking distance. Jolly Trolley can take you into Rehoboth in season. The bay and ocean are beautiful.

What makes this property unique

Huge open kitchen/FR area that is wonderful for entertaining or hanging out. Awesome views to both ocean and bay. Super close to ocean...easy back and forth. Brand new queen bed in master and new full beds in the other two bedrooms. New central air conditioning in 2020. Many restaurants walkable. During the summer, family friendly activities like movies on beach Mon nights, Volleyball Tues nights and bonfires Wed nights.
