About this property

Spacious & Charming - Great Reviews - HOT TUB - Easy Walk to Beach, Bay & Town

WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE SO SPECIAL . . .

Located on a quiet street on the north side of Dewey Beach, this classic 1950's beach cottage was renovated in 2005, adding ample space and all the modern amenities while maintaining its original charm. The indoor spaces are comfortable, inviting, and spacious with a large living room/dining room area, 4 bedrooms, and 3 full baths. French doors and casement windows allow beautiful breezes on days when you want to skip the AC. But the best spot in the house is on the huge screen porch -- perfect for morning coffee, happy hours, a good book, or hanging out with friends -- or perhaps in the adjacent HOT TUB that comfortably soaks up to 8 adults (operates year-round; no extra fees). Just 2+ blocks to the beach and the bay, and 4 blocks to Dewey nightlife, it is close to everything you want to see and do, but far enough away for the peace and quiet you need. This home has many return guests who recognize it's special charm and feel like it's their own private oasis for a week or two every summer, or an off-season get-away. Be sure to check out our visitors' comments in the Reviews section.


THE LIVING SPACES . . .

On the first floor, enjoy an airy living room with sectional sofa and chairs (all new in 2022) facing the Smart TV with Netflix capability. In the cool seasons, the gas corner fireplace provides warmth and coziness. The dining room offers seating for 8 at a large table. These rooms open to the truly huge screen porch, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with ample seating (new in 2022) and an oversized picnic table. Right outside the screen porch is a large HOT TUB which comfortably seats up to 8 adults, surrounded by a deck with adorondak chairs and a charcoal grill.

In the kitchen, granite countertops and white-washed cabinets provide plenty of storage and make this a lovely place to prepare meals. Appliances include:
- a 25 cubic-foot, side-by-side refrigerator with ice maker and in-door water/ice dispenser (new in 2023),
- a full-size oven, stovetop, and microwave,
- dishwasher,
- stainless steel sink with garbage disposal,
- coffee maker, toaster, blender, griddle,
- plentiful cookware, dishes, glasses and silverware

BEDROOM & BATHROOMS

First Floor -- The first floor offers a bedroom and full bathroom -- very convenient for anyone who can't manage the stairs every day. Here a queen-size bed overlooks the front porch with access through a sliding door, making it a great spot for morning coffee or people watching. There is a small TV in this room. The bathroom has a tub/shower combination and is immediately adjacent to the bedroom while still accessible from the living spaces.

Master Bedroom -- On the second floor, the oversized Master Suite has a king size bed, large TV, cathedral ceilings, and ceiling fan. The private master bath provides a stall shower and large Corian double sinks.

Sea Glass Room -- On the second floor, this bedrooms offers a queen bed, TV, and shares a hall bathroom with a tub/shower combination and large Corian double sinks.

The Sunshine Room has two double beds , TV, and shares a hall bathroom with a tub/shower combination and large Corian double sinks.

A fully-enclosed, private outdoor shower is adjacent to the screen porch and hot tub, prefect for a nice hot shower after the beach.

The laundry room is located upstairs with extra large capacity washer and dryer.

QUIET AND CONVENIENCE

This lovely house is ideally located slightly off the beaten track but close to everything, offering both quiet and convenience. The neighborhood is typically quiet and hospitable with many families and year-round residents and a lot less of the 'craziness' of downtown Dewey. Yet, it is within blocks of all the wonderful Dewey Beach attractions and restaurants. You can also enjoy a nice fifteen minute walk to downtown Rehoboth, or catch the Jolly Trolley to the boardwalk. The guarded beach and the bay are both an easy walk, even with young children. Many guest tell us they park their cars when they arrive (there's room for 5!) and walk everywhere.

This house has it all -- comfort, convenience, quiet. The owners are meticulous about details and quality to ensure that your stay will be one you will enjoy and always remember. Come discover for yourself just how charming this house is. You'll want to come back every year.

Just As Advertised
Very nice house just far enough away from the bustle of Dewey to be quiet but close enough to Dewey for a great night out and a short walk home. Hot tub is very roomy and the backyard monster screened in porch is amazing on a nice night. If we ever find ourselves ba k in Dewey for another lacrosse tournament at DE Sports Comllex, we will definitely rent this place again. Just note that linens and towels are not included in this rental but everything else is fully stocked.

Charming Beach Cottage
Pictures don't do this house justice! You can tell this is a well-loved, family home. When not at the beach, we spent most of our time out on the screened-in porch, which was so lovely & stayed pretty cool with the fans provided. The big table on the porch was great for the kids - and they loved the hot tub! It was just a short walk to the beach, about 7 minutes. We also loved that we could ride bikes down Bayard with the kids (avoiding Route 1) and hit up the restaurants. We usually stay in Rehoboth but found this special place and couldn't have been happier with the location. The neighborhood is quiet, but you are close to everything. The large driveway is a huge bonus, as we had 3 cars & lots of bikes. The outdoor shower was the best! I could go on and on :) Susan was wonderful & communicative. We hope to be back! :)

PERFECT house for our gang
This is a GREAT house! Super layout with a fabulous - large - screened porch where we spent nearly all of our non-beach time. We had 3 generations of adults, several working from the house during the daytime (the wifi was great too). It was a very comfortable space for all of us, with all of our activities. It's convenient to a great beach and we both walked and drove (easy parking @ the beach). The house was extremely clean, well appointed, and when we had any questions or needs the owner was super responsive. We will be back. We absolutely loved it!

Great time with family
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and perfect size for our extended family to get together. Exactly as described. We loved that we were close to the action of Dewey and Rehoboth beaches, but were nestled in a quiet neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Layne (she/her)

Host profile image
Sibling Revelry is owned by two sisters and their families who continue to embrace the idea that 'Dewey Beach is a way of life'. We used to come here in our twenties, renting group houses and hanging out at the Starboard. One sister even met her husband here. In the 20 years since then, we've found a new Dewey -- a kinder, gentler, more family friendly Dewey -- full of great times together in our beach cottage, happy hours on the screen porch, and time spent with our families.

We bought this house in 2001 when our babies were babies (see picture) because we fell in love with the screen porch, wood paneling, and classic cottage feel. In 2005, with our expanding families, we decided to renovate, adding more living space and a master suite. Our goal was to add the comforts of a modern, year-round home without compromising the cottage charm we fell in love with. We think we succeeded.

We love coming here ourselves and we love when our guests discover everything that's wonderful about this place -- the screen porch, the hot tub, plenty of space, loads of charm, close to everything but far from the maddening crowds. We hope you'll love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

This house brings together the old-time charm of a classic beach cottage combined with space and convenience added in a 2005 renovation. We're very proud that many of our guests return year after year and we earn many great reviews. Be sure to check them out to see the guest's perspective.
