Repeat Visitor; And each visit gets better and better…….
Our visit was absolutely wonderful. The entire family enjoyed every comfort the newly renovated property offered. This was a tid bit I had not shared with my family beforehand; so hearing their Oos & Ahhs upon entry was warming. And the upper bedroom beach view never disappoints. It’s just spectacular! We’re grateful for yet another opportunity to experience the Sandy Paws Beach House. We look forward to returning.

Great off-season gem
We have always wanted to take our dogs to the beach, and Dewey is very dog friendly. Sandy Paws was the perfect spot for us. The house was spacious and beautiful. Both us and the dogs loved the screened in patio off of the master bedroom. We sat there and listened to the waves crash at night and watched the other dogs on the beach during the day. The host was great at communicating and helped make our trip special!

We stayed for a week and loved it. The condo is wonderful, esp the two decks, and being right on the beach is incredible. We also made numerous side trips up and down the coast and into Rehoboth. The visit was everything we could ask for in a beach vacation and then some. The owner is also wonderful, gracious and instantly responsive.

First time staying and would definitely book again. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. We left the sliding door opened upstairs to the screened in porch (a fav for the whole group!). Everyone kept their bedroom doors opened and we all and slept to the sound of the waves every night. We really liked the small deck by the front door ... nicely furnished and great place to hang out and read. Thank you, Susan!

Oceanfront Treat!
Great unit, not big but it’s newly renovated with a full kitchen, open floor plan, great light and best of all a first floor deck and second level screened porch off the primary overlooking the beach and ocean! Could sit on the porch for hours just watching the ocean and listening to the waves. There is also a deck in the front with chairs and table, and a first floor powder room. Location is central to restaurants and downtown Rehoboth but the trade off is that the area can get busy. Overall had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend! Would be perfect in any season.

Fantastic Dog-Friednly Beachfront Condo
This is our second time here because we so enjoyed it the last time. Susan has upgraded the condo in very tasteful ways, which makes the space even more inviting and comfortable. The upgrades are like cherry on the sundae. The thing that is most wonderful about Susan's place is that you are right on the water. You can see, hear, and smell the ocean from the first and second floors, inside or on the porches. And you can be on the beach in less than a minute. The fact that both the condo and Dewey are so dog friendly was also fantastic. We derived a lot of vicarious pleasure seeing our dog's utter joy playing on the beach. Finally, Susan is incredibly responsive to any messages. I momentarily hesitated to leave such a glowing review for fear that the place will be booked next time we want to rent it!! :)

Amazing vacation
We love this condo--right on the beach, with two porches overlooking the ocean. The condo has EVERYTHING you could want and is very clean. Close to Woody's for crab cakes; walking distance to Rehoboth. We had great weather and sat on the beach in the beach chairs provided. Two small pods of dolphins put on a show right in front of my chair on Thursday. Honestly, I can't think of any way the stay could have been better!
