Our wonderful beach cottage located in the quiet old upscale neighborhood of "The Pines" at 148 Henlopen Avenue. This non-smoking house is comfortably decorated with a mix of antique and traditional comfortable furniture. Our family has enjoyed countless summers in Rehoboth and we hope you will too.
Our house has two floors. UPSTAIRS, there is a new cathedral ceilinged great room with an open kitchen, living room and dining room all together, great for large families or parties! There are four Bedrooms and three bathrooms and a breezy long porch running down the whole side of the house. The Dining part of the great room has a large sturdy pine dining table suitible for political discussions, gossip, and solving other people's problems, all with or without wine. There is cable TV in every room and DVDs in some. The house is centrally air conditioned with ceiling fans thoughout. Kind of like wearing a belt and suspenders at the same time.
THE FOUR UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS
1. Large Master Bedroom with cathedral ceiling, a king sized bed and a private bath with tub and shower. It opens onto the porch.
2. The second and third bedrooms have two twin beds each and share a hall bathroom with a full tub and shower.

The Dining Area has the above mentioned dining table that easily seats eight, or more if you're very friendly.
5. The Porch is well stocked with wicker furniture, including a nap-taking sized sofa, and a long table with seating for around 10 for big family barbeques

3. The large downstairs family room has a wood burning Fireplace, Entertainment Center with cable TV, DVD, VCR, Stereo, a Miniature Pool Table. .This room also has beaucoup toys, trucks, dolls etc for kids.

We hope you enjoyed your stay at "Paton's Place. If you have comments - good or bad - we want to hear them. your suggestions will be taken seriously. We also hope you will keep us in mind for next year. We will begin taking reservations begining about the 1st of October. We do not take weekend rentals during the fall and winter. Too much hassle putting all our personal stuff away and getting the house ready and then putting it all back together again. We also have two daughters and families living in Richmond and one in Wilmington; plus we come up from Florida several times in the winter. E-mail us for reservations after the 1st of October. The early bird gets the worm!
