About this property

Classic Beach House One Block from Boardwalk

  • The Messner House – A charming 1930s beach home built by our Great Grandfather in 1935, located on a peaceful street just a little over a block from the ocean and boardwalk on the south side of town. Nestled on Stockley Street, the street is quiet and neighboring properties are not rented, ensuring a serene atmosphere.



    This beautifully maintained home offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, blending the timeless appeal of a traditional beach house with modern upgrades.



    Bedrooms & Amenities:

    Each of the four comfortable bedrooms is furnished with a queen bed, cozy quilts, quality linens, and bath towels. Smart TVs are provided in every room, and the house is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi throughout.



    Kitchen, Dining & Family Room:

    The fully updated kitchen features sleek stainless steel appliances and all the essentials needed for preparing meals. The adjoining family room boasts a cathedral ceiling and a large dining table, perfect for family meals or enjoying a game of cards together.



    Bathrooms:

    The three recently renovated bathrooms include stylish tile showers with multiple showerhead options and heated floors for extra comfort. The unique jack an Jill design of the upstairs bathrooms includes two half-bathrooms, each attached to a bedroom and sharing a spacious central shower.



    Outdoor Space & Extras:

    Relax on the inviting front porch, a perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach. At the back of the house, you'll find the laundry room with washer and dryer located beneath the garage apartment. Garage apartment is occasionally used by family but not rented.



    The large outdoor shower, tucked under a canopy of climbing hydrangea, is an absolute oasis. With a rain shower head, it’s one of the best outdoor showers.



    Walkway to the rear of the house needs to remain accessible to access the garage apartment and for garbage service to get trash cans to and from the street.



    Location:

    Just a short 10-minute walk to shops, restaurants, and entertainment, and only a little over a block to the beach and boardwalk. Enjoy easy, free street parking with two parking permits provided, plus space for one car in the driveway.



    Pet-Friendly:

    We welcome responsible pet owners to bring well-behaved dogs with you for a small fee of $150 for the first dog and $50 for a second. We are happy to offer some pet amenities to help with traveling with your pet.



    Local Hosts: We live in town and are available if you need anything during your stay. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help make your visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Wonderful getaway

Spent a wonderful July week in Rehoboth with family, relaxing after college graduation and prepping for the transition to “real life.” The Messner house is absolutely charming and the host friendly and helpful. Stockley Street is convenient and quiet. We hope to go back!

Nice stay in great location

We spent a lovely week at this perfectly located house with our family, including our 2 small dogs. We had everything we needed (they even provide linens!) and could walk to everything. The stairs were a little dicey for small kids (and tall adults), but it’s an older house,so the funky layout is part of the charm. The host was very responsive and reached out ahead of time with helpful information.

Great House in PERFECT Location!!

We absolutely adored this house!! The house is so charming and has really nice updates to the bathrooms and kitchen. The outdoor shower was a highlight! The front screened in porch is great for morning coffee and people watching without the bother of mosquitos. The walk to the beach and downtown was less than 5 mins and easily walkable for both the kids and elderly. The house was well stocked with the basics and linens/bath towels. The property manager was friendly, attentive and quick to reply.

Comfy house in a great location

This is a great beach house! The owners had all the basic necessities like dishwasher tabs, sugar and toilet paper, so grocery shopping at the beginning of the week wasn’t as bad. Check-in and Check-out was a breeze. The house has a great screened in porch and the tall trees and landscaping kept it noticeably cooler. The location is great- just a bit more than a block to the beach and several blocks south of Rehoboth Ave allows for an easy walk to shops and restaurants but a less-crowded beach at the Stockley Street beach access. We had a great time and will keep this one on the list.

Beach cottage - 1 1/2 blocks from beach

We booked a last minute Labor Day vacation and were thrilled to stay in this beautiful beach cottage only 1 1/2 blocks from the beach and boardwalk. We loved how comfortable the home and how equipped kitchen was. Like many rentals you have to bring your linens which is not convenient. There isn’t much of a yard but enjoyed the outside shower and screened in front porch. It is an old home and is noisy but who cares when you can be so close to the beach.

Fantastic Rehoboth Beach Stay

Stunning character cottage with all the comforts of home. Ideal location just a block from the beach - close enough to run down for a swim, far enough to avoid the beach trippers. Owners were responsive and easy to communicate with. Perfect stay - we'll be back!

We appreciated the welcome book covering the details we needed to know, along with recommendations for the local area. The hosts were prompt in responding. Would recommend and stay here again!
