About this property

Top Performer! Quintessential historic cottage

Historical cottage located only two blocks from the beach. One of the original Rehoboth cottages that dates back to 1927, and is on the historical registry. Fantastic location, two blocks from the beach and silver lake, also an easy walk to town. Our cozy living room has a wood burning fireplace, and a HD flat screen tv. Beautiful and relaxing screen porch with plenty of seating. Charming backyard area that includes a patio and grill, made private by a fence. Plenty of bikes available to ride around town. Four bedrooms and two full baths with an outdoor shower.

Renters will need to bring sheets and towels. There are two queen beds and four twin beds.

Great location, quiet and comfortable cottage blocks to beach and dining

Everything was great - nice quiet, comfortable cottage blocks to beach, dining and boardwalk. Provided bikes for a great day biking at Gordon’s Pond Beach. Dog friendly, clean and conveniently location.

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.

Norfolk Road

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.

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.

Hurricane weather

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!

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.

Had a wonderful time! The house is so charming, the front porch and outside shower are a dream. Lovely historic cottage, and is the perfect vibe for what Rehobeth is. Walking distance to everything and can’t wait to go back!

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!

Awesome cottage

This comfortable, nearly 100 year old cottage is truly a step back to the old days at the beach. Located on a quiet, street close the the beach, it was an easy walk for 70 year olds. The washer and dryer ARE on the main floor and the kitchen is totally stocked with ample supplies. It would have been nice if we could have opened some windows, especially upstairs. A truly relaxing vacation was enjoyed by all. I'd list it as one of my favorite spots.

Great location!

Had all of the necessities. Outdoor shower was a bit dusty and bug-laden but functioning. Great proximity to beach and overall great location. Loved the bikes and puzzles. One of the upstairs rooms was pretty hot and TV was broken but we kept it cool enough w/ AC cranked. Front of house door handle kept falling off so kids were always worried about locking themselves out. Could use a bit of dusting off outside but overall a terrific place to stay. Gas stovetop is a bit tricky to get comfortable with. The ignitor malfunctions a bit. Fence doors must be rigged to stay closed so watch your pups when they are outside.

Overall it was good, could have been a bit cleaner in the edges. Beds for us were a bit firm but some may like it. AC upstairs does not match the down stairs.

Walkable Rehoboth

We loved the area and the house was in a perfect location. Walking dogs along Silver Lake (which was very close) and on the Boardwalk (2 very long blocks away) was our daily routine. We loved it.

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!

Charming, Cozy & Comfy

This historic cottage had everything we needed for an off season getaway. Lance was extremely responsive when we had trouble with the key and tv. He managed to solve all any issue we had both quickly and without fuss. Even with very cool and breezy days, we enjoyed being able to walk easily to town and to the beach. The location is great. This home was ideal for us. I so enjoyed it that I hope we will return there soon.
