Great location!! When at the rental, spent most of our time on the spacious screened in porch. Appreciated the bikes and beach wagon. House has a king and queen size bed, not two queens. When asked to bring own sheets, need to be precise. Premises could have been cleaner.

Cottage was in a good location. Kitchen had ants. Toaster was broken. Parking permits were not there. Listed WiFi password was incorrect. I wouldn’t even write this review but when I wrote to owner at the end of stay, he didn’t respond. So wouldn’t choose this property again.

Quaint Home/Relaxing Stay

Great property in a quiet neighborhood. A quick two block walk to the beach. The walk to the main part of the broad walk was a bit far but this allowed for a less crowded and quieter beach experience.

The location of the home is excellent. An easy walk to the beach or town. We loved riding the provided beach bikes each day on the boardwalk, around Silver Lake, and to Henlopen State park. The house has a lot of charm. The front porch is comfortable for early morning cups of coffee or afternoon/evening porch sitting. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. The description of the home needs to be updated. There is a king size bed in bedroom with a Queen bed in another bedroom, both downstairs. The hall bathroom has a clawfoot bathtub and stand up shower in the corner. Upstairs one bedroom has 2 twin beds. The other bedroom has 3 single beds. The bathroom has a full size showers The upstairs rooms have in room AC units making the bedrooms comfortable and cool. The outside shower has both hot & cold water for easy clean up after a trip to the beach. There is a nice beach wagon provided for carrying gear to the beach as well. The house has provided paper towels, soaps for laundry, dishwasher, sink and hands. Sponges and a few dish towels provided. There are table clothes for the outdoor porch table. One twin bed needs a new mattress pad, stain made it unusable. The parking pass is needed through September 15 according to City signs posted. There were some issues with messes left by previous guests such as soiled laundry bed linens left in washer (never started) dirty dishes in the dishwasher ( drying mode doesn’t work well) plastic dishes had begun to mold.

What a perfect location for a fall stay. We stayed for 6 weeks and everything was perfect. We walked to the boardwalk, the lake, and downtown. The house is a quaint old Rehoboth original cottage with many charming touches. An older but pleasant home.

Nice Bungalow

Loved the house and area. Location is great. You can walk to the beach and restaurants. Inside is in good shape. House needs some sprucing up outside and there is too much 'stuff' on the porch. I would stay there again.

Great Beach House

Location is great, about a 10 minute walk to the beach and to the Main Street with many bars, restaurants, and shops! Home is as expected, nice little backyard for our pups to run around. Everything was clean, kitchen has everything you would need to cook! Beach chairs, bikes, and wagon in the garage which is a nice perk. Overall, great experience!

Perfect property for our family.

My son and daughter in law specifically requested trying to rent this house again. It’s our 4th time in it. We have stayed at 2 others that were nice but this is their favorite. Of course the weather being perfect didn’t hurt

Beach Vacation

Two families stayed at the home between lacrosse tournaments in MD and DE. The location is great you can walk to the beach. There are many bikes to ride, and wagons to take your gear to the beach provided. The house is clean and was big enough to 4 adults and full sized teens. The host was responsive, and the experience was great.

All the charm and convince of Rehoboth!

I grew up going to Rehoboth 40 some years. We come back every year to continue the tradition for our child. This home is a short walk to the beach and great restaurants. It has everything you need for the trip to the beach or for a great dinner party staying in. Charming and cozy. The perfect setup up for a relaxing beach stay with family and friends. The house is historic which is part of what I loved it reminded my of the Renoboth I knew as a kid.

Lovely cottage, great location

Absolutely charming "Old Rehoboth" cottage. Loved that the owner kept many period details and furnished it with period appropriate pieces and decor. The lot is private with a nice rear garden. We walked everywhere we wanted to go in downtown Rehoboth. It was March, but we still enjoyed the fabulous wrap-around screened porch. Well equipped kitchen, and altogether a comfortable place to stay. The online description is mostly accurate, but one of the downstairs bedrooms has a king bed, not a queen as described online, so we did have to go out and buy some king size sheets. Would absolutely stay here again!

The weather was hideous and the owner tried to help us but the heating system did not turn on. We tried to make do with fireplace fired and the owner sent space heaters, but in the end he was great about refunding our money and we went home.

Great Stay

Great stay in this Rehoboth Beach Cottage. New comfortable beds and cold AC downstairs. Upstairs rooms with 5 twin beds was warmer but a portable A/C and fan helped a lot. Maybe bring an additional fan. Cleanliness in a few areas could be better and the cottage is showing some wear. Old coffee filter was moldy, dirty wet laundry was in wash and not started, dishes were wet and not put up. Minor things. Book needs updating of local contact, but message via VRBO worked great and was responded to promptly. Kitchen is well equipped, almost too much ‘stuff’ and careful much isn’t microwave safe. Screened front porch was an awesome hang out spot all week.

Lovely, welcoming, cottage and ideal location!

What a lovely house! It is furnished in an attractive way that makes you feel you are visiting someone's (or your) own home. Whatever we needed was there. For my husband and me, and our three young-adult "children", there was plenty of room -- inside, on the front wrap-around porch, in the back terrace -- for each to find private space, or all to be together. Bikes are provided: tires already pumped up and ready to go! We walked or biked everywhere -- enjoyed nearly car-free riding in Henlopen area, and beside Silver Lake. The beach is only a short, pleasant couple of blocks away. Restaurants we enjoyed:The Cultured Pearl for sushi and music, the family-run Corner Grill for breakfast, and Lili Thai for dinner. All-in-all, it was perfect for us. We felt like invited guests!

A true cottage

The property is just how you see it online. A very cottage-type feel. While everything is very old, the property is extremely clean. I’d say it’s way past due for a renovation but maybe that’s the charm? The only thing I will say is although there are 2 bathrooms, only one has a way to shower. The other bathtub is just that. A bathtub. So everyone had to shower in the one bathroom. (There’s a outside shower but the backyard needed some landscape attention so we didn’t go back there) if you are looking for a very clean older cottage very close to the beach - this is it.

60th Birthday

The location was great. The beds were pretty comfortable. The rest of the furniture was acceptable. If I had one complaint, it would be the general maintenance of the property. There were light fixtures, hanging from the ceiling, that needed to be reattached. There is no handrail to get into or out of the house, and several people commented on that. There are a couple of holes in the boards on the front steps. Overall, we had a wonderful time, but I would agree it is the quintessential rustic beach house. We had a pull several bikes out of the garage in order to find two that were rideable. The interior of the house was much better than exterior. We are Exterior just needs a little Lovin.

Whimsy Beach House

A very charming and whimsy beach house to say the least! We loved the location which was walkable to everything. Comfortable beds too! We had an issue with the heat not working but the owner was quick to resolve it. We had heaters to get us through until then so the heating system must be quirky. We were toasty warm after that. I would have given this rental 5 stars but it was not clean when we got there. We had to sweep the walkway in to the house which was covered with leaves and twigs. Same with the back patio. We also had to vacuum the black dog hair off of the furniture and empty what was missed in the bathroom trash baskets. Yes it is dog friendly but we have doodles and they do not shed. We were a little annoyed to see black hairs everywhere. Once we cleaned it up to our liking we were comfortable. We recommend this cute and cozy place and we would return despite the few issues.

Great location, easy walk to boardwalk, beach, and playground/park area. House is well stocked had many amenities and supplies. Decor is a mix of whimsical and vintage cottage with some of the prettiest dishes and a claw foot tub.The house however needs some attention. The carpet upstairs in the two upper bedrooms is very soiled. The two loveseats in the sitting room with the TV are soiled/stained. Only a couple beds had mattress pad covers. The mattress pads, several quilts and bedspreads were soiled/stained. The screened in porch is nice and large but has soiled/stained cushions and some broken furniture. 4 of the 8 bikes were in good shape and we appreciated those. There was a full load of dirty laundry loaded in the washer and a full load of dirty dishes in the dishwasher upon our arrival. I noticed the house was not booked the week leading up to our arrival for the weekend. For this reason, and based on the price point for this home, I expected some of these items would have been addressed prior to guests arriving.
