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.

Quaint cottage
Wonderful family stay at the beach. Everything bike-able or walkable. Everyone loved the vintage beach house vibes and cozy yard with eating lounging area and outdoor shower. Inside was roomy, comfy, and had everything anyone could need. We had so much fun cooking as a family . Great layout . We all loved it.

Could have been better
This place has potential, but it fell short in a number of ways. The house is much older than the photos suggest and there is peeling paint in several rooms. We arrived a little before check in and the group parked and headed off to the beach. I stayed behind and was surprised that the cleaners hadn't been to the house yet. Although there were 3 cleaners, the cleanliness of the house was subpar. The house had nice high ceilings and the two bedrooms downstairs were lovely. My mother thought the queen bed was comfortable and the same was said by my brother and sister in-law of the king bed. The consensus of beds upstairs were that they needed replacement. Communication with the property owner was okay, but not great. Items weren't updated in the VRBO app and I didn't receive a welcome email (although it was apparently sent), but the owner was responsive to a phone call. I had to leave early due to storm damage at my house, but the remaining family member said they also enjoyed the yard for cooking outside and thought the walk to the beach was not far.

had a great time
Good distance for 6 year old to walk to a less crowded area on Dewey beach. Nice large table set up for family dining (8 people). Available beach equipment was convenient. Backyard was nice, but no direct entry from house.

Beach getaway
Had a great time at Elizabeth’s house! She even stopped by to fix the outdoor shower head and some other things the previous tenants had broken! House is older with lots of character and very clean. We were able to bring our pup along and she loved walks to the beach. Wonder even supplied a dog license for the beach. Would absolutely stay again.

Wonderful spot to reunite with my kids for first time since Covid-19. Walk to beach, close to Boardwalk. Comfortable and spacious accommodations. Owner very responsive. Did not realize we had to bring or rent our own sheets, but found enough to make do. Hope to return!

Cottage just as described
This is a lovely cottage which is an easy walk to the beach. It is clean and perfect for a family vacation. Great care has been taken to outfit the kitchen, as well as providing beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach toys. 100's of VHS tapes and 2 VCR's are available plus board games etc for rainy days. The owner answers questions quickly. We had a good time and will return next time we vscation there.

Great overall stay
Overall, this was a great property and served the needs of our group wonderfully. The only thing that I would comment on is the bed situation- we were expecting trundle beds, and the extra beds in the larger rooms were more just mattresses or cushions on the floor. Other than that, everything as listed was exactly what we expected! The house was spacious and close to the beach. Easy to get to Dewey bars/restaurants (about 10-15 minute walk) or quick uber ride. Elizabeth was very responsive and helpful in ensuring all of our plans for the trip.

Nice place. Clean and very roomy and only a couple short blocks to the beach!
We’ve stayed here for a week or more the last 3 years and always loved it. There’s a ton of room for lots of people and a nice sun room too. We’ll be staying here for a long time to come.

A lovely beach house
This is an older beach house with lots of character and charm. There were some deficiencies such as lack of AC in the upstairs bathroom. A larger bed in the upstairs double would be desirable. All in all it is charming and we enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous house & close to the beach!
This was our second year of vacationing at Elizabeth's Rehobeth beach house. 2 great experiences! It's on Carolina and only 3 short blocks to the beach. You can also walk to Dewey or Rehobeth. Dewey is only a few short blocks! Rehobeth is a little farther but you can hop on the trolley shuttle if you do prefer. Everything is so easily accessible. Even parking! We park 2 cars in the driveway and there's a parking pass for a 3rd car.
The house is very well kept up, clean, and very roomy - 2 full bathrooms, 4 bedrooms and multiple beds and tons of extra sleeping accommodations for my 2 brothers and I and our 3 families.There's a big kitchen with a dinette, a large living room, a nice sun room and a great yard for sunbathing and cooking outside (there's an outdoor grill). There's also an outdoor shower. Word has it there will be a screened in porch next year. My wife is a screen porch fanatic, so she's really excited about that!
We all love the house! We've vacationed annually in Rehobeth and Dewey for 48 years! My parents started the tradition when I was barely a teen. We had stayed on Carolina for decades - in a house on the beach Block. New owners doubled the price so we started searching for something more reasonable. Many hours of searching resulted in finding this particular beach house. What a find! Next year will be our 3rd year for sure!
