About this property

Top Performer! Quintessential historic cottage

  • Historical cottage located only two blocks from the beach. One of the original Rehoboth cottages that dates back to 1927, and is on the historical registry. Fantastic location, two blocks from the beach and silver lake, also an easy walk to town. Our cozy living room has a wood burning fireplace, and a HD flat screen tv. Beautiful and relaxing screen porch with plenty of seating. Charming backyard area that includes a patio and grill, made private by a fence. Plenty of bikes available to ride around town. Four bedrooms and two full baths with an outdoor shower.

    Renters will need to bring sheets and towels. There are two queen beds and four twin beds.

Quaint Home/Relaxing Stay

Great property in a quiet neighborhood. A quick two block walk to the beach. The walk to the main part of the broad walk was a bit far but this allowed for a less crowded and quieter beach experience.

Norfolk Road

What a perfect location for a fall stay. We stayed for 6 weeks and everything was perfect. We walked to the boardwalk, the lake, and downtown. The house is a quaint old Rehoboth original cottage with many charming touches. An older but pleasant home.

Great Stay

Great stay in this Rehoboth Beach Cottage. New comfortable beds and cold AC downstairs. Upstairs rooms with 5 twin beds was warmer but a portable A/C and fan helped a lot. Maybe bring an additional fan. Cleanliness in a few areas could be better and the cottage is showing some wear. Old coffee filter was moldy, dirty wet laundry was in wash and not started, dishes were wet and not put up. Minor things. Book needs updating of local contact, but message via VRBO worked great and was responded to promptly. Kitchen is well equipped, almost too much ‘stuff’ and careful much isn’t microwave safe. Screened front porch was an awesome hang out spot all week.

60th Birthday

The location was great. The beds were pretty comfortable. The rest of the furniture was acceptable. If I had one complaint, it would be the general maintenance of the property. There were light fixtures, hanging from the ceiling, that needed to be reattached. There is no handrail to get into or out of the house, and several people commented on that. There are a couple of holes in the boards on the front steps. Overall, we had a wonderful time, but I would agree it is the quintessential rustic beach house. We had a pull several bikes out of the garage in order to find two that were rideable. The interior of the house was much better than exterior. We are Exterior just needs a little Lovin.

Whimsy Beach House

A very charming and whimsy beach house to say the least! We loved the location which was walkable to everything. Comfortable beds too! We had an issue with the heat not working but the owner was quick to resolve it. We had heaters to get us through until then so the heating system must be quirky. We were toasty warm after that. I would have given this rental 5 stars but it was not clean when we got there. We had to sweep the walkway in to the house which was covered with leaves and twigs. Same with the back patio. We also had to vacuum the black dog hair off of the furniture and empty what was missed in the bathroom trash baskets. Yes it is dog friendly but we have doodles and they do not shed. We were a little annoyed to see black hairs everywhere. Once we cleaned it up to our liking we were comfortable. We recommend this cute and cozy place and we would return despite the few issues.

Real deal old time beach cottage with lots of character. Close to everything (only 2 blocks from the beach) but just far enough away to avoid the crowds. The host was very quick to respond to questions and very accommodating. Would definitely rent again.

Lance was wonderful to work with. The cottage is older but has a lot of character. We loved spending time on the screened in porch. If you are coming with elderly people, be aware that there is no railing coming into the house and some better lighting could have helped but we managed. The main floor bedrooms were nice. Showers were great. It was great to be able to bring dogs with a completely fenced in backyard.

A beautiful cottage and so close to the beach and boardwalk. Lance was a wonderful host and very responsive on a few things we needed. The house was furnished with a lot of antiques… everything was thought out and perfect. The cottage is located on a quiet street and we really enjoyed the screened in porch as did my corgi.. Will definitely consider staying here again. Thank you, Lance!

This historic essential cottage is perfect for a family beach trip. The front porch is an ideal extra living space - screened and protected from the elements. While the cottage provides beach chairs and bikes, there is also plenty of space in the shed to securely store your own equipment (this was appreciated since we brought our road bicycles). The cottage is an easy two-block walk to the beach, and all the shops and restaurants on Rehobeth Ave are also walkable. The house provides parking passes as well. Two first floor bedrooms are perfect for couples, while the upstairs rooms have multiple twin beds for the kids. The fenced back yard was also perfect for the dog. We are looking forward to returning next summer.

The cottage is so charming with an unbeatable location on a quiet street only a short walk from downtown. The kitchenbis small but well equipped, and both the heat and the AC work well. The downstairs beds seems to be new and very comfortable; the upstairs twin beds are not as new so keep that in mind when decoding who will sleep up there...it's the kind ofnthing that adults might notice but might not make a difference to kids at all. The front porch is spacious and comfortable, the back yard is charmin and private. Lance the host is easy to communicate with, which is nice. The front porch outer lights didnt work for me but i may have been using the wrong switch. A little touch up cleaning needed in a few spots but overall really lovely!

Lovely historic cottage, perfect location, would stay there again in a heartbeat. Junior library upstairs is amazing. Missed the disclaimer about BYO towels and sheets, be good to place that more prominently (or better yet start providing them). But we did find washing some left behind by previous guests.

The house is in a great location in Rehoboth Beach, with both the beach and town about a 10-minute walk or less, which made getting around very easy for our group of eight. The front outdoor space was also a nice size, and the host was responsive, helpful, and quick to communicate throughout the stay. That said, the house itself did not match the quality shown in the listing photos, which made it feel disappointing once we arrived. The property looked older and not very well maintained, and cleanliness was a major issue, including dusty fans, dirty floors, and furniture that did not feel clean. The Wi-Fi was also inconsistent, sometimes working fine but then becoming very slow or unreliable. While the location and host communication were positives, the condition and cleanliness of the home would keep me from staying here again. I would recommend future guests set expectations carefully before booking, especially if cleanliness and a well-maintained space are important to them.
