About this property
Luxury 6BR-5.5BA, heated pool, firepit, 2 porches, sheets/twls, beach/baby gear
This 1950's duplex in the north end of Dewey Beach was 100% renovated and remodeled in the spring of 2021, and converted into a single family home, plus an addition completed in the spring of 2025. We retained as much of the historic charm as possible, but gutted the entire interior and updated every inch of the house, including the electrical and plumbing.
The house features 6 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms (3-king bedrooms with ensuite baths), a powder room downstairs and 2 outside showers. There is an eat-in kitchen with oversized island, a dining table to seat 14 comfortably, two covered porches, firepit w/wood provided, and an in-ground pool with heat/chill options. In keeping with the historic nature of the home, it is stocked with a variety of vintage items for kids to play with, including old phones, encyclopedias, an viewmaster, and more. A short 2 block walk to the dune entrance.

We had a lovely stay at the house for our annual family vacation. The house had everything you could have needed and we felt right at home. We loved the location to the beach and it was only a short walk to the main strip in Dewey.
Great house and location for a family vacation at the beach. 3 blocks from the beach, around the corner from a wonderful local fresh produce/sandwich shop, and a short 5 minute drive from downtown Rehoboth (boardwalk and great restaurants). House has everything you need for the week - we’ll be back!
This home was so beautiful and clean. The location is unbeatable as it is steps away from the beach and many restaurant's! Lyn made the check in and check out process so easy and she was always quick to reply. I recommend staying in this house and i will definitely be back!
The first thing we noticed upon arrival was how clean the house was! It was perfect for our weekend getaway from the spacious rooms to the heated pool. Lyn was super informative and responded to all of our questions during our stay. We had such a comfortable weekend and loved the decor and location of the house. If you are looking for a place to vacation look no further! We can’t wait to go back!
My family included 3 adult children ,1 very pregnant spouse, 18 month boy, 10 year old and 8 year old special needs boy. We all had a blast! The comfortable bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and the long dining table that also held a 1000 piece puzzle. Plenty of comfortable and attractive furniture. The kitchen was exceptional and filled with everything you would need which was good since we ate most our meals there. The pool was loved by all. Beautiful house in quiet tree lined neighborhood.Not too far from a nice, uncrowded beach. We will return if we can afford this Spectacular house.
Great house. Pool really made it for my 2 grandsons. Couldn’t get them out. House was updated in 2021 and was very well appointed. Close to beach. Property manager was extremely responsive and attentive. Would consider again!
The house was wonderful! Loved the downstairs bedroom with sliding glass doors to the outside, so I could slip out to the beach for the sunrise. The kids and adults adored the heated pool! Loved that the beach and Starboard Restaurant / Shoips were within walking distance to the beach. Everyone loved the Boardwalk, and the beach was family friendly.
Our only problem was the house wasn't toddler friendly. One of the little guys took a tumble down the stairs when we arrived, and my daughter immediately went to Walmart for baby gates and child proofing items (plug protectors, cabinet locks). We had to move the furniture to block the kitchen doors to the pool also. Just thought it would be something future families with small children should be aware of so they can pack accordingly.
Otherwise we enjoyed our visit very much, and the place was amazing!! Thank you.
I took my family and dog with us to Dewey beach. This was the best place that we have rented in a long time! The house is beautiful and bright. the curtains and blinds keep light out when needed. the house has been lovingly renovated. There were plenty of rooms. the kitchen is lovely and bright and overlooks the backyard pool. Both front and back porches are amazing for reading, having coffee and visiting. Just a quick walk to the beach, we were loving the convenience. I am a walker so I would walk to Rehoboth beach shops every morning for coffee. I highly recommend. Lyn was always just a text or phone call away and very accommodating, an excellent host. We hope to revisit next fall with the family and pups. I forgot to mention the backyard. An amazing spot with a pool, grill and two outdoor showers and plenty of seating to lunch or dine al fresco as well. It was a bit warm to take advantage of the fire pit , but there is a nice fire pit for a fun campfire in the evening. If I could give 6 stars if I would!
This is one of the most well appointed and intuitive properties that I've ever stayed at. Every single thing you need is there. The flow and style is perfect. Light and bright all throughout. The pool was perfect!
We couldn’t have been happier. The communication with Lyn was great. The house was beyond immaculate, so many little details that made it a great experience. We know where we are staying at when we go back to Delaware
We had a great stay. The house is comfortably appointed and well located, close enough to the action and the beach but on a quiet block. Highly recommend!
Amazing house and location. First floor bed/bath was perfect for my parents (84 and 88 yrs old). The other four adults had their own bed and bath on the second floor. We enjoyed the pool. Entire process was seamless and easy. Would definitely come back.
This house was wonderful for our annual family vacation. Things that really stood out for us was the extra towels and paper products that were provided, and the stand alone ice machine in the kitchen. We had many little ones with us so the pool was a big plus for the days we didn't make it to the beach. Lyn was always responsive and helpful when it came to our booking and stay. The location was ideal as downtown was still in walking distance and the beach wasn't too far. Would definitely recommend this house for larger groups!
The house was fabulous. We have stayed here before and enjoyed it, but the addition made it even better. The 2 pm check in is wonderful, and Lyn is EXTREMELY responsive to any issues we have. Wonderful week!
My family stayed here for Christmas and it was perfect! It was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. Lyn was a fantastic host and so easy to communicate with. Best of all, the house was just two blocks away from the beach! We are so grateful for the relaxing getaway.
This was a great experience! Communicating with the property manager was easy; she was readily accessible! The property was perfect! It’s in the heart of Dewey, walkable to everything. Beautiful view of the ocean from the screened in porch. We had a fabulous time and will definitely be back!

The whole experience was great!
This condo is sitting right on the beach with amazing views from the patio! Its location is so perfect to the Dewey Beach area within walking distance to anything you would need. The entire condo is completely amazing with beautiful upgrades and everything is so Tastefully decorated and well thought out. You can open the giant patio doors to expose the full view and air from the ocean into the living room. I can't imagine a more perfect place to stay in Dewey Beach. And the dogs are welcome to! Our host and Hostess reached out several times from beginning to end to make sure we were having a good experience and couldn't have been more welcoming. It was so hard to leave, we decided to stay an extra day and Lyn couldn't have been more amenable to helping us make that happen! We will be going back every year!! Rich and Chris
