The Good Stuff!
A wonderful 2-level ocean front townhome located on McKinley Ave in Dewey Beach. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise on your open deck. The open-concept main level overlooking the ocean offers a spacious living room, recently renovated kitchen with granite counters and eat-in bar, separate dining area, and a half bath. You can also relax on the screened-in porch directly off of the ocean front master bedroom with a new king bed allowing you to fall asleep comfortably listening to the waves. There is also day-bed in the master that converts to a another king bed.

The townhouse has a total of 3 bedrooms with 1 full bath upstairs, a half bath on the main level, and a full private outdoor shower in the laundry room off the back deck. The two additional bedrooms are also located on the 2nd level and are separated by an accordion door with 2 twins on one side and a bunk bed on the other. Note most guest leave the accordian door open for more space as the rooms become fairly tight when the accordian door is closed to create a wall. Unit includes a washer and dryer which is located in an enclosed room on rear deck. There is 1 unit specific parking space at the unit and a Dewey Beach parking tag for 1 car that can be used on any street.

The simple design and location of our place is guaranteed to relax and de-stress you from the cares of your other life. There is nothing like the sound and sight of the ocean or a long walk on the beach to remind you life is meant to be simple. Our unit has direct access to the walkway over the dune - there isn't even a need for shoes! For excitement, the bars and restaurants of Dewey are mere steps away or take the Jolly Trolley to Rehoboth shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk.

Please note you must bring your own linens and towels. As a courtesy, we have provided beach chairs and beach toys as well as a pack n play and high chair however as these are used by our renters - we can not guarantee their availability or condition upon your arrival.

A note from the owner: Our goal is to provide a warm and relaxing getaway at the beach. Please note that the unit is 1000 sq ft and while we do in fact have room to sleep 8 people, 8 adults would likely feel quite crowded. We are also located in a family friendly complex which is not conducive to wild parties. Please keep these thoughts in mind when considering our place for your next adventure. We look forward to having you as our guests!

*This is a non-smoking unit and there is a fee for 1 dog (please note we do not allow more than one dog and no cats allowed) *

Perfect spot!

We loved our stay. The place was clean, well stocked, and cute. The view was absolutely amazing. We loved seeing the sun rise on the beach every morning either from the upstairs porch or a few steps to the beach. The hosts were great, responsive, and super easy to work with. We will definitely be back.

Perfection!

We had an amazing last minute beach weekend here. I wish we could come every weekend. The bunk/twin rooms were perfect for the kids. We fell asleep/woke up to the sound of the ocean and sat on the screened in porch so much of the time. There were dogs everywhere on the beach so our dog was in heaven too. Seriously, this place is amazing and has everything you need!

A few issues at the beginning but owner very responsive

Very much met expectations. Great location. No frills place but high quality. Very quaint and perfect for 3-4 people. Would be tight for anything greater especially with 1.5 baths but there are plenty of beds. It was a great week for us. Thank you.

Perfect Location

We had a fabulous week at this oceanfront property. Beautiful property with lots of amenities. The views were spectacular. Easy beach access and very short to walk to stores and restaurants. We were so happy that our golden retriever could be a part of our family vacation. He loves the beach!! Both this home and Dewey Beach are very dog friendly. We would definitely recommend this property. Dan was very easy to work with and immediately answered any questions that we had.

The BEST location!

For our 4th summer vacation in Dewey we tried this condo. What a great choice! The condo was clean, neat, and perfect for a family. The location was the best part about this rental. You cannot get any closer to the beach which is key when you have little ones who just can’t get enough of the ocean! We really enjoyed the comfortable living room and 2 ocean front decks. We love all that Dewey has to offer and staying here put us in the heart of it all! Thank you! We will be back!

Beautiful property!

We loved this unit! It is right on the ocean, clean, cozy, and really enjoyable. The view from the upstairs screened porch is amazing. And on the bottom floor you can stare right out at the beach while you cook. The fact that it is dog friendly makes all the difference! We were looking for a getaway where we could take our fur baby. He loved the beach, sand and surf, and loved staring at the ocean from the top porch and master bedroom. We highly recommend this unit for its cleanliness, location, ease of use, and dog friendly environment. We look forward to returning.

One word - fantastic

It may not be the biggest, or fanciest place to stay in Dewey Beach, but you can't beat it for location, convenience, or enjoyment. Over the years we've stayed in a dozen places in Dewey - townhouses, cottages, condos ... this was our favorite by a mile. Open up the back door and in 30 seconds you are literally on the beach. Wake up to the sun rising over the beach. Cocktails on the decks watching the sun go down. It doesn't get much better. We all hope to get on your list for future stays.

Location fab, some updates needed

Dan was fantastic to work with and the location of his property was second to none. We loved the ease of having our littles nap inside then pop right back out on the beach. The property itself was accommodating, but there would be a few simple things that would make a big difference (new blackout curtains in the master, curtain rods, replace vent in floor in kitchen, etc.). I think it’s most important to know is that the twin rooms upstairs are only separated by an accordion divider and not actually dry-walled. I felt this was a little misleading but we made due! Thanks for the memories!

Perfect beach condo

We enjoyed our stay. So grateful to be able to check in early as we had an event that afternoon. Thanks! It was spotless when we arrived. King bedroom and bathroom are on second level and very nice - the screened balcony perfect. We were able to keep the door open at night to listen to the waves. Just be aware if you have kids or dogs the stairs are open but carpeted to make it easier. The kitchen was well appointed and the half bath on main level and laundry were convenient. The included beach accessories were a nice touch. The furniture was comfortable and the tvs were easy to use and set up with our Roku. Our dog has sensitive feet so boots were helpful in the blue stone parking lot. In October the sand burrs are plentiful so boots helped prevent painful burrs in her paws too. This was our first time booking a unit that didn’t include linens and towels - it worked out very well for us. Brought nice sheets, bath towels, hand towels and a bath mat - it was so much better than the awful linens we’ve had elsewhere. We had a plastic tote to take laundry home. We have already recommended it to friends and hope to return soon! Loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Dan Spahr

Host profile image
We got married in Dewey and love everything about it! Purchasing this place is a dream come true and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like oceanfront. The sounds of the waves crashing can be heard from anywhere in the house and the view from the screened in porch is priceless.

What makes this property unique

The location is truly unbeatable - not only is it on the beach but it is on the heart of Dewey. It is right in between the Starboard and the Rudder. And it is a very family friendly town as well... the playground is right across route 1 on our street. There are kids movies on the beach on Mondays and family bonfires on Wednesdays plus we have included a pack n play so you have one less thing to pack. Once you park your car, you truly never need to drive again.
