Rehoboth Beach Cottage 2 blocks to the Ocean

The most adorable cottage! Proximity to the beach was fantastic (as was the proximity to everything else, we walked everywhere). I brought my 5 year old niece and two friends along for a few days on the shore - the size of the place was perfect for us, kitchen was a great size and everything was CLEAN!!! The landlord, John, was great and accessible if we needed him. Already thinking about booking a week next summer for myself and my significant other!

I found it frustrating to deal with the owner. Instructions to house, info re: obtaining key, etc. was not received as promised until I had to email again to get info. Sec. deposit check was not returned as promised, after waiting 2 1/2 wks I contacted owner and was notified check was "torn up" and would not be returned. I feel I need to put stop payment on check to rest easy now. As the cottage was steps behind the main out, numerous full and uncovered garbage containers and plastic bags of rotting trash from previous renters was our view (and smell) if we wanted to sit on the front porch. Birds were constantly pecking at them. The yellow adirondack chairs had to be scrubbed clear of old, dried bird droppings, dead leaves and bugs before we could use them. The welcome mat and front porch slab had to be swept clean of old, dead bugs, dead leaves and mold before we could begin to walk in and out of the front door. Used razor and discarded shampoo bottles were found in the outside shower (we decided not to use that shower). It seems the place had not had renters for awhile and maybe we were the first in it for the season but attention should have been made to these and numerous other details before we were allowed to rent. I would not recommend this rental to any of my friends or relatives.

We chose this rental because of previous comments
mentioning it was good for a couple with a baby or
toddler; we have a toddler. This house is cozy and
just enough room for the three of us, although with
a little one with an early bedtime, we put him to
sleep in the pack n play in the bedroom (just
enough room to squeeze it in there), then moved
him and the pack n play back out to the living room
when we were ready for bed. It was a nice little
walk to the beach, had a great outdoor shower,
pretty flowers and trees outside.
The bed was comfortable to sleep in and the AC
worked great. The kitchen had most everything we
needed (only two kitchen chairs though). The house
was very clean. We liked the house being back from
the street -- it is a little house behind a main
house, if you know what I mean. Because of this,
the ceilings were a little low and my tall husband
banged his head on the door jams a few times!
Overall it was a great stay and I recommend renting
this house.
