About this property

SALTY KISS SEASIDE - OCEANFRONT DOG-FRIENDLY CONDO

Salty Kiss Seaside...The way the beach was meant to be.

Feast your eyes on a living seascape from every room, surrounded by a charming cottage décor. Awake breathless at the vision of the sun rising from the sea enshrouded in crimson clouds, while preparing for your first sip of a perfectly chilled mimosa on the veranda. Spend your day frolicking on one of the nation's cleanest beaches or simply allow yourself to be caressed by its soft sands. If you prefer a fun day of water sports on the bayside, there are jet-skis, paddle boards, and kayaks available for rent at various locations, including the Rusty Rudder.

For the more energetic, ride the picturesque 15-mile bike circuit along the pristine trails traversing the wetlands of Gordon's Pond and the vistas of Point Lookout at Henlopen State Park, where you can also visit the WW II seashore battery museum at Fort Miles. Continue to the quaint historic town of Lewes for a lunch break, perhaps enjoying one of Restaurant Agave's amazing margaritas. Afterwards, follow the Junction & Breakwater trail through marshes, corn fields, and a woodland canopy, returning to Rehoboth. Stop at the small bakery behind the Crystal Restaurant and reward yourself with one of their delicious chocolate croissants.

Later, back at your villa relax with a glass of wine from your favorite vintner's estate while savoring the sunset's afterglow playing on the clouds above the sea or take a short walk to the bay to see its full splendor from the decks of the Lighthouse Bar & Grill at the Hyatt. Following a great dinner at one of the fun restaurants close by (the crab cakes at Woody's are awesome) or in nearby Rehoboth, gravitate to the Dewey Beach live music nightlife or the amusements and shops along the Rehoboth boardwalk. Then return to your retreat by the sea to greet the rising moon whose sparkling reflection reaches towards you across a placid sea. Finally, fall asleep to the soothing sound of the waves and float gently away as they permeate your dreams.

A beach experience both simple and pure, Salty Kiss Seaside is designed to relax and de-stress you from the cares of your other life.

Salty Kiss Seaside...memories of a lifetime...in a few days or a week. The way the beach was meant to be.

What a beautiful place! This corner unit has views of the ocean from the bedrooms and the living room. Comfy beds, nice porch with rocking chairs. Owner gave good recommendations on restaurants and the unit was well stocked with the basics. Best place I've stayed in Dewey in a while. :-) Will definitely be back.

Salty Kiss In September
This was our 2nd stay at this wonderful place. Below I pasted my review from last year which is spot-on. I can't say enough about the beach-front location and view. The look, style and quality of the condo is great. We would definitely stay here again. Published Sep 29, 2022 Property is as described. Great location on the beach. Great views. Condo has a consistent, classy theme throughout. Beds and couch very comfortable. Easy parking. Well-equipped kitchen. Very nice veranda. Within a short walk of bars and restaurants. Good water pressure. Hot water available in a snap. Communication with the owner was very good.

Beautiful beach condo
This is a beautiful end-unit condo with gorgeous beach and sunrise views. The pictures on VRBO don’t do it justice. Fantastic location, just steps to the beach. The unit itself is comfortable, and John provided many thoughtful recommendations in the area. I do agree with other reviewers that there are a few too many pieces of furniture, especially in the hallway, but we got used to that. We were able to fit a pack and play (which we brought) in the bedroom closest to the front door. The balcony is safe for very young children. If this place had laundry access, it would be perfect. Just bring lots of clothes. We would love to stay again!

Wonderful, relaxing week. Great condo!
We LOVED being oceanfront and having our dog with us - that's what makes this condo. Sunrises on the front deck or a quick walk out to the beach are AMAZING!! The beds are comfortable and the unit is well supplied with all of your basics. John is a great host and very communicative about everything prior to your stay and available during the stay if needed. The only downside is the decor is rather dated and the rattan furniture is not that comfortable in the small main living area. But, it's ocean front and we could bring our dog!! Also, walking distance to some great restaurants is a major perk. Love that we could park our car (shaded spot) for most of the week. Overall, it's a great spot and I would stay here again.

Great Little Gem
Salty Kiss is a perfect get away for 2-4 people. The unit is clean, well maintained, equipped with everything you need, and the location cannot be beat. It’s impossible to get closer to the beach unless you are standing on the sand. The view at sunrise and sunset is spectacular. It is also conveniently located to restaurants and other shops. We can’t wait to return!

Very Cozy Condo in a Vibrant Neighborhood
My family (self, wife, daughter) had a wonderful time at Salty Kiss. The property was very clean when we arrived, and the check-in process was easy. John was very helpful in answering our questions prior to our arrival, and he sent us helpful information about the property and the surrounding area. We were within walking distance of several good restaurants, coffee shops, and small convenience stores. We were steps from the beach and had a beautiful ocean view. Keep in mind that it is one unit in a small building, so a little noise from neighbors is to be expected, but overall, the neighbors are very considerate and did not create a disturbance. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and many of the things we thought we'd have to supply ourselves. We would have no hesitation about staying at Salty Kiss in the future.

Dewey beach house
Property was as promised. Great views right on the beach, comfortable home, good location in Dewey. Property management could have been more responsive in responding to request to replace beeping smoke detector battery in adjoining unit. But overall, I would return to this rental property in the future.

Ideal view!
This is the perfect getaway place for a small group. All communications about the property were thorough and quick. Not recommended if anyone has mobility issues as there is no elevator. The cover on the walk to the beach is like what is typically found on Dewey beach access locations. We find Dewey a great ocean spot for our more laid back taste.

About the host

Hosted by John Petrow

Host profile image
Hi folks. The one thing I didn't anticipate when I started renting Salty Kiss Seaside was how nice it felt to hear what a great time my guests were having. The ability to provide a venue that evokes happiness and relaxation in others is the ultimate reward for this endeavor. Having completed a $2.5 million renovation of the building in May 2019 has made that venue even more enjoyable. I'm looking forward to another great Dewey Beach season of beaching, biking, sailing, kayaking with the dolphins, learning to paddleboard, and helping to make folks happy. Cheers, John.
