Perfect location

Loved the Dewey Beach we had access to and the neighborhood of the house. We were a little nervous the house was so close to Rt 1 but it never bothered us once we were settled in. We were also very thankful for the Sunday-Sunday week to avoid traffic. Very fun stay!

Awesome!

The quaint cottage was so perfect and quaint! The house was very clean and in a great location to walk to restaurants and the beach. We didn’t even have to get in the car! Our group was a group of adults however I could see how this cottage would be great for a family with young kids. The yard was great to play yard games in. The owner was very personable and was very easy to reach out to! I will definitely be staying here again!

House with Character

The house is easy to be in and only 3 blocks to the beach. So nice to stay in an older home. Elizabeth is in process of fixing some things up so it will be revamped for next season. Overall quiet place at Rehoboth Dewy.

Charming Cottage

This cottage is very charming, quick walk to the beach and to downtown Dewey. The rooms are nice sized and the house is very well equipped with beach supplies, chairs and a nice umbrella! The living room furniture and bedspreads should be updated though, very dated and faded. New pillows are needed for the beds, we went to the local store and bought our own.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Russell

AS young mothers in 1980 my best friend and I shared a week in this cottage and every summer following until we could afford a week each (then we both went for both) with our no longer toddlers..in 1998 tho old babes that owned it decided to sell and we feared they'd sell to a non-renting family SO we put our pennies together with my oldest by then an officier in the USMC and we purchased and continued to rent to the same families--now we are the old babes and the grandchildren of the first wave are renting from us..Won't you join us and visit our Green Granny Cottage for an old-fashioned summer vacation--a walk to the beach, bird watch, barbeque, catch fireflys and 'kick-the-can' on the cul-de-sac.

Why they chose this property

This is ideal for walkers-Silver Lake is a wildbird refuge one street away, or at the end of our cul-de-sac--you can walk north on the beach and shortly reach the beginning of the Boardwalk that leads to the Amusements and Beach treats galore or you can walk south following the side walk and reach the Rusty Rudder for Sunset on the bay drinks, live music and a chance to dance reggae with a toddler, your teen or gramps...as well as the tanned and terrific...plus the jolley trolley and the bike taxis go right by the street corner on which we sit.

What makes this property unique

The most wonderful benefit is the sea air filling up the 12 ft ceilinged rooms and the ceiling fans, and the 10 ft windows,screened (or shut for the central air) just providing a light feeling away from the ringing of phones (if you turn them off) and the demands of the non-family work a day world. Here you can shop the discounts or sit and read listening to the ocean or build sand castles or just walk the ocean edge...it is very restful and convenient enough to the activity centers, water parks, golf, bumper cars etc for the young and the restless to entertain themselves in safety protected by a walking constabulary which seems to employ ALL the local young people/teens not occupied as lifeguards or in the shops and restaurants. Its a treat to visit a simpler place and time.
