Vintage Dog-friendly Dewey Beach Cottage - 125 steps to the beach!

BEACH WEEK INQUIRIES (5/29-6/17) - please see below...MUST READ.

Have you ever wanted to park your car, take your shoes off, leave your busy life behind and let the sea soak into your soul? You've come to the right place! This little beach cottage favors the old-school style of beaching it. Adorable, with all the modern amenities!

Super high-speed wireless, 3 Amazon Firestick TVs, excellent HVAC, modern kitchen, washer/dryer and clothesline (for those that want that 'beach smell'), super comfy Queen & Twin mattresses, off-street parking, and several other upgrades.

And, what cottage wouldn't be complete without its own outdoor shower and relaxing screened in porch? If that isn't enough - lounge on the cute wicker furniture on the outdoor area at the cottage's entry or host an outdoor BBQ at the picnic table.

Adorable little cottage about 20 steps to the beach. Exactly as it looks in the photos. We have returned to this cottage community for years and this unit was impeccably clean. Also, the location is fantastic and is walking distance to everything in Dewey but on a quieter block which was nice at night bc it wasn’t as loud as many of the other locations. The host was also kind and easy to work with, accommodating, and incredibly responsive. We cannot wait to return - Thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The location of the property is exceptional. If we had nice weather, we would have been on the beach the entire time (as it was only less than half a block away). The property is small. It is smaller than we expected. For items like the ceiling fans, we had a hard time figuring out which electrical switch went to what fixture. The fan in the master bedroom did not work at all (no matter which switch we tried). The property is not big enough for 4 people and a large dog. We enjoyed working with our host, who was very pleasant through our text interaction. I suppose the price was appropriate for the property.

Great cottage right in the heart of Dewey

We have stayed here 3 years in a row and booked for next year already. It is so convenient to be able to walk right onto the beach when you make a right out of the driveway, or make a left to be right on the main strip. The cottage is very cozy and great for a movie when it is raining. Highly recommend!

This cottage is very quaint and comfortable. Unbeatable location. The area is very dog friendly. Jenni is so nice and super responsive. Upon check-in we noticed some of the cleaning was lacking. I notified Jenni and she immediately responded and rectified the matter. Truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. She is great and because of her I will 10/10 stay here again!

Perfect for beach break weekend with a dog

I stayed for 4 nights over the MLK weekend, just me and my dog. This place was perfect. It really is just steps from the beach and we did long walks on the beach morning and afternoon. The inside is so cute and well appointed. The queen-sized bed was super, duper comfortable. I slept very well. Communication with the owner was superb and the 2 questions I had once on-site were immediately answered. We will be back for sure. Thanks Jenni and family!
