Disliked: Cleanliness
Only issue is an easy fix.
We were impressed as soon as we walked in. Smart renovation choices. Slightly more modern coastal, comfortable, open and easy layout, materials chosen implied that the space is easy to clean (i.e., no carpet). The unit is on the top floor (3rd) which we love, and because of the way the staircase is built, the stairs were manageable for my aging mother and for us carrying all the things. Location was perfect.
The issue for us was cleanliness. I want to be fair to travelers because in the handful of different places we've stayed in Rehoboth, this is the first I've had an issue with cleanliness to the point of writing a review. At the same time, I appreciate the owner's responsiveness and so many other things about the unit. If I were a traveler and saw repeat reviews like mine, then I'd beware; otherwise, I think this is something the owner can easily resolve.
There was food and beverage residue from previous guests left on appliances in the kitchen and a table in the primary bedroom. The primary bedroom was dusty enough to trigger moderate allergies. Dust buildup on the return vents and blinds indicate the HVAC filter probably isn't changed regularly, which I think is especially important for vacation rentals. We felt uncomfortable enough to wash the king bedding that was provided (which took 3 dryer cycles to finish), and we asked the owner to replace the mattress pad which was covered with hair, which they did.
Outside of the unit cleanliness, we enjoyed this round in RB.
