About this property

Stay Play Dewey - Oceanfront Dewey Beach Townhouse

*Surfside Plaza unit 8* Stay Play Dewey!

*Please note*: WE DO NOT provide sheets or towels but do have beach chairs, boogie boards and beach toys available for your use (as well as pack n play & high chair)!
There are several local companies that provide sheet and linen rentals and we provide their contact information in our General Information Guide upon booking or upon request.

**Please note**: We also do not rent to groups under age of 25 without additional parent sign-off or on an exception basis. Please contact us for exceptions before requesting reservations.

There is a pet fee for 1 dog (we do not accept more than 1 dog). No cats or no pit bulls allowed.

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, its possible depending on your needs that 8 adults would likely feel a bit 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! Also for unrelated groups over 6 there is an extra charge per person that will be added to your quote.

*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 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!

Unbeatable location

This was a gem, perfect for our family with 2 kids and my mother in-law. The master bedroom is amazing, the other bedrooms are cozy, but lots of hangout space indoors and out. Easy access to the beach, great walkable location to the town, and the hosts had a lot of thoughtful suggestions. Our new favorite spot in Dewey!

Dewey Golden Jubilee. Mothers Day May 2024

This house was great — location and views were perfect, had everything we needed, bed was comfy, owner was easy to work with and very accommodating. Only downfall is the steps — quite steep and the gaps scared my dog so he could not enjoy the 2nd floor balcony with us for morning coffee and happy hour. Thanks for sharing your home!!

Stay Play Dewey

My 2 sisters and I thoroughly enjoy our stay at Dan & Stephany’s condo on Dewey beach. We loved the accessibility to the beach and enjoyed leaving the door open from the screened in upper deck to hear the surf on the first 2 cool nights. Dan was very accessible by phone when we had trouble opening the gate & with the ac unit. We really enjoyed shopping in Bethany Beach and dinner at Mangos on our last night. All of the people we met along the beach and also many dogs were very friendly!

Fantastic property, Very accessible to beach, The children enjoyed Kite flying on the beach and the ability to run back-and-forth from the beach to the condo, safe beach for the dog to run on. A few minor glitches coordinating light switches and lamps. We hope to stay again.

Great location

Love the location, right at the beach. Can hear the ocean all night, just open the balcony doors up or down. Of course we happen to choose a 4 day weekend that on Friday night and all day Saturday were spent inside because of “Ophelia”. We were aware of that going into it the stay and it’s no fault or disrespect to the owner. We can’t control what the weather does. I would recommend staying here to others for sure. I just have a few tiny things we noticed but nothing that would keep us from staying again….the shower drain needs some attention, it doesn’t drain that fast and the TV situation. With us being older it was difficult to figure out how to use the tv, no local channels at all and totally different than cable. It’s all through You Tube tv and I’m still not sure how the “streaming” thing works. For us it was difficult to use and the tv in the bedroom seem to be set up differently than the living room tv. I would recommend a tv in the other bedroom as well. My mother-in-law sated in that room and she didn’t have a tv which she used having. She was ok with it but would have been nice for her to have her own tv. I know if we would have been able to get out more the tv’s may not have been a thing, it’s just a thought. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your lovely place and hope to return again. And one more thing, Sunday evening being able to set out on the deck and listen to the ocean is the best feeling in the world to me, peaceful!!!! Karen

Beachfront bliss

Our family had a great stay over Labor Day weekend. We particularly enjoyed the screened-in balcony on the 2nd floor- being able to leave the door open and listen to the waves was wonderful. The location was also fantastic, walking distance to great food, ice cream, and entertainment. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

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!

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.
