Cozy Beach House

Fourth summer in a row! Our family continues to love the beach house we call our home away from home during the summer. Our hosts are always very responsive to our needs and the place is always neat and clean upon arrival. Thank you, Brian and Beth, once again for opening your beach house for our vacation!

Third stay @ this wonderful cottage

Another great vacation at what has become our home base in Rehoboth / Dewey Beach! Accommodations are fantastic, nice shade for being outside and the screened in porch is a always a favorite. Brian and Beth are amazing hosts and we can't imagine staying anywhere else. So many fun things to do, restaurants to sample and close to everything while being in a very quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend, as this is a relaxing, spacious cottage and a short walk to the ocean!!! Currently working to determine dates for our next stay at this favorite listing.

This was one of our favorite beach houses!

We had a wonderful week at Brian and Beth’s home last week. The house is well maintained and totally stocked with everything you could ever need. The hosts have thought of everything, and they were very easy to contact and responded very quickly. We particularly loved the screened porch and the wooded yard. The bikes and beach buggy were also a great added perk! We’ve stayed at many beach homes in the past and we all agreed this was the nicest and the most well kept. We will definitely stay here again if we get the chance!

Great hidden spot to stay between Rehobeth and Dewey.

We were in town for the coastal running festival. This was the perfect place for us. Quiet, clean, good location, and pet friendly. We walked into Dewey and Rehobeth multiples times. Very manageable. The place is just as described and very clean. Check in and out was a breeze. Brian, the owner, allowed us to stay a few extra hours due to the marathon running late. We already have talked about coming back! Highly recommend. Thanks for a great weekend stay!

Delightful beach escape - close to everything, yet away from busy traffic and crowds

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. It's a warm and welcoming place, prettily furnished with beach-themed touches. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, it was very accommodating for our family, but never felt too large or impersonal. We felt like we could actually live here. As it's off Highway 1, it's protected from all the traffic and noise, and has the added advantage of being set in a charming and friendly beach neighborhood. We felt completely comfortable sending the kids and dog the short walk to the beach by themselves. The cottage is well-equipped with all the comforts of home. We loved the furnished porch - it was perfect for reading and playing games with the family. Hoping to come back next year!

Most hospitable owners you will ever encounter!

While the property is adorable, functional, clean & comfortable for a shore vacation, what puts this rental above and beyond are the owners - they are extremely communicative & genuinely want to make sure you have a wonderful vacation. The house is stocked - I mean STOCKED - from top to bottom with whatever you may need and even some treats along the way as well (to-go coffee cups for morning walks on the beach! This is something we've lamented about rental properties lacking for 15+ years and we've finally found owners who must feel the same as we do!). The owners have designed this newly renovated property so that you can truly park, put your bags inside and start enjoying vacation. We've been coming to Dewey & Rehoboth for more years than I care to admit :) and, now with little kids, we love the accessibility and yet quiet of Rehoboth-by-the-Sea. Thank you for a wonderful fall shore weekend!

Beautifully restored beach cottage

First of all, let me say, that this was the most well stocked beach property we have ever rented. I usually bring all my own cleaning supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, etc. but this house has all the basic supplies you will ever need, including salt, pepper, and even coffee! The house has been beautifully restored and updated with a gourmet kitchen, nice bathrooms, a full size washer and dryer, flat screen tv's and good internet connection. The house was clean and bright and it was an easy short walk to the beach. The screened in porch was lovely and the outside shower was very convenient after spending all day at the beach. My 6 year old daughter loved sleeping on the top bunk in the "boys room". The owner immediately responded so any questions we had. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent it again in the future!

This is our 2nd time staying here and we love it. The location is perfect- 2 blocks to beach and an easy walk to the restaurants and bars. The cottage has EVERYTHING you might need. Brian and Beth are so thoughtful and have included so many amenities, it is hard to list them all. Two big items for us was beach equipment and a well appointed kitchen!! Thanks so much and we will be back!!

Fantastic Home Base in Dewey

This property embodies the best that Dewey Beach has to offer - proximity to the best (and least crowded) stretch of Dewey Beach, central location in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, extremely responsive and helpful owners...the list goes on. Our family found every day to be a joy during our stay whether we were lounging and playing at the nearby beach, walking to Rehoboth Beach (25 minutes) or to the restaurants in Dewey (10 minutes), or relaxing in the comfortable amenities of the attractive home. It's also the perfect option for bringing along dogs - the neighborhood streets are a great place for short walks and the nearby beach and roads are very walkable. This property is highly recommended and we would definitely stay again for all of our return trips to Dewey Beach.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

The Carolina Cottage is the perfect place to stay at the beach with your family! The overall house was clean and had many amenities. Brian and Beth take great care in this property and respond promptly. My family, two dogs, and I enjoyed the short walk to the beach, the short walk into town, and a great place to stay. It was very convenient for parking. We had 3 large vehicles and still had room to add another car if needed. This was great because there is not on street parking unless you pay for it. The outdoor shower was great to rinse off all of the sand from us before going inside. Plus the outdoor hose to rinse the dogs off was an added bonus. They had a shed stocked with pretty much any beach item you can thing of, my family and I called it Costco. LOL. There is only 1 full bathroom and 1 half bathroom (plus the outdoor shower), but if your family is close like mine it works. I appreciated the hardwood floors and updated washer/dryer and dishwasher. Although we didn’t use them, each room had a TV and closet. I appreciated the elevated beds to put our suitcases underneath. This place is definitely on our list for another summer vacation next year! Thanks again Brian and Beth!

Perfect cottage and perfect location

Pack your swimsuit and a beach towel and you will be good to go. This property has everything; too many to list. From a fully stocked kitchen to beach chairs, everything was amazing. And the location was ideal. The location was wonderful. 2 short blocks to the breach. Walking on the beach and watching dolphins was my favorite activity. An easy bike ride to Rehoboth or a short walk to Dewey Beach if you are looking for hustle and bustle. Thanks.

Quaint, Quiet, Clean, and Comfy Cottage

A great place to stay. Extremely well-stocked, hosts were very communicative and accommodating. I would highly recommend. House was clean and the location was an easy walk down a quiet road to the beach. We loved the peaceful surroundings, which can be hard to find in this part of DE. We would definitely stay again. A note to parents of small kids -- there is one large road to cross between house and beach, but there is a crosswalk. Accordingly, I would suggest children under a certain age be supervised when going from the beach to the house, or vice versa. A second note: be sure to read the property description thoroughly. By a weird quirk in VRBO's website design, this is listed as having "3 bathrooms" on the VRBO quick summary. Later in the description this is clarified, but that topline had me confused upon arrival. There is a full bath and half bath indoors with an outdoor shower. Again, this is described accurately in the description, but I wanted to call it out for other guests who might gloss over this bit of nuance.
