Great stay!

Our family had a great stay at Oak Cottage. We’ve been coming to Rehoboth for many years and love being a few blocks from town and very close to the beach. Oak cottage was very charming and beautifully decorated. We loved the screened porch! Great spot for morning coffee and afternoon naps and looking at the beautiful hydrangeas. There was a lovely space outside for a big family dinners. And the small guest cottage gave adult children their own space. Wonderful stay!

Hi, We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the house. It is the perfect location right off the beaten path but close enough to the action so you're never too far away from it. Everyone loves that screened porch. So many of our guests comment on it. It is a very relaxing space, perfect for those rainy days when there is little else to do, and when you're ready to wind down after a busy day. We thoroughly enjoyed having you and hope that you'll come back to visit us again. Debra

Sparkling clean home, spacious and thoughtfully appointed

We had a wonderful time from check in to check out. Treated kindly by manage and owner.The appliances, the rugs, the bed pillowsAnd the linens were spit spot. Even the baseboards were sparkling white! It’s a rare rental that looks better in person than the ad. In addition, we were just five houses from the beach and that alone is worth every penny. Thank you, Debra!

Just what we were looking for

We were very fortunate to rent The Pines. It is your dream Rehoboth cottage. Wide wrap around porch, well equipped kitchen, and comfy furniture. The yard is beautifully planted, the proximity to the beach allowed for casual strolls after dinner. Quiet and peaceful, yet walking distance to the downtown restaurants…I hope to return many times.

Great Location, Great House

We were looking for a quick weekend getaway before the high season in Rehoboth, and The Pines was perfect. Steps to a beautiful and quiet beach, walking distance to restaurants and downtown, and fully equipped to feel "home" at the shore. A true cottage oasis. This is an area of town we weren't familiar with, but fell in love with. We look forward to returning to The Pines!

First Vacation in Rehoboth Beach- Can’t wait to go back to The Pines!

Three generations of our family stayed at Debra’s gem of a vacation home and had the time of our lives. Location, Location, Location!!! The easy walk to the beautiful beach and returns from the beach to the outdoor showers and large patio made for perfect days. Everyone enjoyed the huge wraparound screened porch and when it got too hot the central air and well equipped home (2!) & kitchen was a welcome haven. Everyone voted to return!

So Cozy even in Cold Weather

We were impressed across the board with this little cottage. We stayed for a weekend in October in the Oak Cottage only, and brought 2 kids and their grandparents with us. We had such a nice comfortable stay, even on the cold evenings or cold mornings. The house stays remarkably warm. Even the porch was inviting on a late evening with temperatures outside in the 50s!

Thanks for your "Cozy" review! The cottage is a delight even when it is blustery outdoors. So nice to hear your weekend in October was happy and that you were able to enjoy the porch. That porch! What can I say? Everyone just loves it! We have lots of insulation against the cold in the cottage and a good, newer heater. It all does the job and makes for a comfortable Fall vacation. Come again soon.

Wonderful, beautiful & very clean home. Very short walk to the beach!

Such a beautiful, well kept & well stocked home. Very roomy for the 6 of us & the additional cottage provided even more room & private hang out space for our older teens. We had a great relaxing time with a short walk to the less crowded part of the beach & walked to the busy boardwalk & Funland in the afternoon. We spent a lot of time on the screened in wrap around porch. Perfect place for coffee in the am. Everything was simply perfect!

Thank you so much for the very kind review. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the house and that everything was to your liking. I spend quite a bit of time trying to make sure that everything is just right for my guests and we did many upgrades over the winter which have proven to be a big hit with everyone.
