WE DO aim to provide an elevated guest experience with modern, updated properties and amenities, and responsive communication.

Located in the south end of Dewey Beach at 17A Van Dyke St - Park your car upon arrival and you never have to drive again! The home is located on a quiet street and within few steps away from the beach, the bay and the Rusty Rudder. This nicely furnished 3 level END UNIT townhouse with two Master Suites (king beds) is the perfect place for your relaxing beach vacation.

With 4 Bedrooms and 3.5 Baths and parking for 3 cars, this townhome is the perfect spot for one or two families (we even provide a pack n play and high chair). It is less than half-block to the beach - you don’t even have to cross a street plus we even provide beach chairs and toys so you don’t have to bring them with you! Had enough of the sand – enjoy happy hour on the rooftop deck with views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay. Hungry? It’s a quick walk to any of Dewey’s restaurants – Nalu, Gary’s, Rusty Rudder, Lighthouse, Starboard, Dewey Beer Company, and more. A little tired? Then feel free to stay and cook in the well equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances or order in and relax on one of the 5 decks including a great screened in porch. Or just hop on the Jolly Trolley to Rehoboth.

Plus Dewey is a great family vacation town. Monday nights during the summer you will find movie night on the beach, a giant movie screen with a different movie playing each week. Bring your beach chairs and enjoy. Wednesday nights are family beach bonfire night, both on Dagsworthy Street.

Lots of room, lots of balconies

We (7 adults) loved it. Clean, modern, everything in good condition. Plenty of room, and rooms. Balconies, porches galore plus fenced rooftop with ocean views, 2-3 minute walk from the dog-friendly beach, 5 minute walk from good restaurants. Owner was very easy to deal with, too.

Amazing location, beautiful house

Had a great stay here. Super close to the beach and walking distance to everything in Dewey. The bedrooms are split between floors for privacy and the kitchen and living room are on the middle floor. There are several outdoor areas, we spent most of our time on the screened-in deck off the kitchen but there’s a very nice space on the back of the third floor and also a rooftop area with a great view of both the ocean and the bay. If you’re like me and read more reviews than the details of the listing - you need to bring your sheets, pillow cases, and bathroom and beach towels. But the kitchen was well stocked and had both kinds of coffee makers. There are also plenty of smart tvs and a cabinet full of games for evenings or rainy days. Very nicely furnished as well.

A wonderful family weekend!

My husband and I took both of our parents to the beach for a long weekend and we had a fantastic stay here! This house provides the perfect amount of space for 3+ couples, and the outdoor seating (both covered and open air) made our weekend so enjoyable. So close to the beach and everything else in Dewey, we can’t wait to come back!

July 4th week stay

We had a great week the house was nice loved all the decks loved the big tables in the dining room area and out on the screened in porch we watch the fireworks On the rooftop which was really cool The only negatives I would say would be the fact that this house is located right across the street from the Hyatt which brings a lot of people to that beach so it becomes very crowded. The double bed is very hard there’s an electrical outlet behind the bed that does not work , In the master bedroom on the bottom floor this sliding glass door is really hard to open and lock and unlock. The house was Clean with the exception of the walls in the dining room and kitchen going up & down the steps & the sliding door in family room, very dirty. LOVED That there were beach chairs and a wagon for convenience to take stuff to the beach really this house is very well equipped 😀 Thanks to the hosts.

Wonderful weekend getaway

We loved our stay here for “Doodles in Dewey” weekend the last week of April. The location was ideal and a short walk to the dog event on McKinley. The home was beautiful and we loved the spacious 3 stories and outdoor seating areas. The outdoor supplies, particularly beach chairs and wagon were appreciated so we didn’t have to bring them from home. Thank you for a great getaway for our family and in-laws!

Wonderful townhome in Dewey

Very nice property. Great location in Dewey. Some bath supplies were low and not in the common stock closet. I wish housekeeping would keep better inventory of these items. Also knowing about linen rentals in the booking info would be nice. To make easy arrangements at the time of booking rather than at pre check in. Would recommend overall as the place is nice.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Spahr

Host profile image
We got married in Dewey and fell it love with it! It is a great place to go out but also a great place for families.

Why they chose this property

It is the perfect place to share with another family! With two master bedrooms with king beds and two additional bedrooms for the kids on separate floors it couldn't be better.

What makes this property unique

Located at the southern end of Dewey, 17A Van Dyke is within walking distance to everything but located on a quiet street.
