Beautifully renovated beach house!

My family spent 2 weeks at this house in July and we had a fabulous time! The hosts of the house were very responsive to questions, the house was beautifully redone, and the proximity to the beach was perfect! We will definitely stay here again.

Cozy cottage stay

We absolutely adored the house for many reasons. It is newly renovated and feels comfortable and beachy at the same time. The owners equip the house with many items other homes don't include such as coffee, basic spices, and wonderful kitchen appliances. Would highly recommend a stay at this wonderful home.

Fantastic cottage--great for families and pets

My family of 6 and yellow lab were wowed by this adorable cottage located about 2 blocks from Dewey beach on a nice quiet street. We found everything very comfortable and very clean. The house is well stocked with everything you will need (from kitchen and cleaning gear to extra toiletries in case you forget anything).

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!

Amazing Stay at Dewey Beach!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cozy cottage! Amenities galore - anything you could possibly need is there. Having access to beach chairs and a wagon to walk them the short distance to the beach was so convenient. We enjoyed mornings on the screened in porch with coffee. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We will certainly be back!

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.

Second time in this cottage, and all the amenities from last year remain!

Another great summer vacation with family and friends! The location is great, the house is comfortable, well-stocked, and wonderful for hosting groups. Plenty of seating areas inside and out. The house also has ample offstreet parking in the quiet neighborhood of Rehoboth by the Sea. The owners Brian and Beth (as always) are responsive and helpful, and truly want guests to feel at home. Would absolutely rent from them again!

Clean, cozy and great location

I will definitely be renting this house again! Brian was SO easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions we had. The house was so clean and had supplies that most other rentals don’t include, for example k cups for the keurig. The location was perfect, just blocks from the beach, feet from a Jolly Trolley stop and walking distance to restaurants and entertainment. I highly recommend staying here!

Perfect

My family enjoyed every minute of our stay! The house is clean, modern and comfortable with every amenity you could need. The location is perfect. An easy walk to the beach, Rehoboth and Dewey. The owners are responsive and displayed a real desire to ensure that guests have a great experience. I grew up in the area and return every summer for a week. This is by far best rental unit we have found.

Great vacation rental

We have stayed at many rentals from Maine to Delaware and this is the cleanest, most accommodating place we have rented. There are many amenities, allowing for lighter packing. The weather did not cooperate so we spent the majority of time inside, and it was like being at home. We plan to return to thus wonderful rental and hope Mother Nature becomes as accommodating as Brian & Beth.

Great Beach Getaway!

This house was perfect for our family's beach trip this summer. Great location - easy walk to the beach, quiet neighborhood street, close to restaurants and shops. The house had everything we needed - nice new fully-equipped kitchen, screened in porch complete with speakers, gas grill, buggy and chairs to take to the beach. The outdoor shower (a real shower with privacy, not just an outdoor shower head) was a big help for getting all the sand off when we got back from the beach! It has the character of a classic cozy beach cottage with all the modern amenities anyone could ask for.

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!

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.

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Brian and Beth Bruffey

Host profile image
My family has been coming to the Dewey and Rehoboth beaches for over 40+ years. Growing up with 4 brothers and 1 sister in Silver Spring, Maryland, our parents gave us the opportunity to build and enjoy an incredible amount of memorable experiences at the shore. My Mom, along with my older brother, currently live in Rehoboth. We're incredibly fortunate to have this home and the opportunity to share it with others to enjoy all of the fun the beach has to offer to create those unique, memorable family and friends experiences.

Why they chose this property

My wife, Beth and I purchased this property to provide the same opportunities for our family of three young men and their anticipated future families...the same opportunities my parents provided for us over the past 40+ years. We're anticipating 123 Carolina will be their vacation destination for their families for the next 40+ years as well! This area is consistently recognized as one of the top vacation places in the country. How can you not love Dewey and Rehoboth Beach?

What makes this property unique

Convenient Oceanside access to the beach is just a 2 block walk away. Some days, you can even hear the waves crashing on the beach from the cottage front porch! Very dog friendly area and walking distance to many of the Dewey Beach and Rehoboth activities. Featuring great restaurants, family atmosphere, boardwalk, shops, Jolly Trolley transportation, fishing and crabbing, summer night-life activities, and of course, the sun and fun at the beach, Dewey & Rehoboth have everything for a wonderful, restful and relaxing vacation...most importantly, building those cherished memories!
