Location: Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, USA (111 Scarborough Ave, 3 bl to beach, 100 yds to shopping!) View Map
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 10-14)
The Canary Cottage is unique in Rehoboth for its large gathering areas and PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL, and is ideally situated just 100 yards from Rehoboth Avenue - the town’s main restaurant and shopping area - and three blocks from the boardwalk and beautiful beach.
There’s a room for everyone, from the large and airy sunroom, where you’ll take your morning coffee, to the spacious living room for TV watching or lounging by the fireplace in cool weather*.
On the lower level, the huge great room is the place for creating memorable meals in the brand new open kitchen and dining area. An additional living area with fireplace stove** and TV lets everyone do their own thing.
Out back by the private, in-ground pool, there are lounges for sunbathing, tables and chairs for reading or chatting over daiquiris, and a gas grill for that perfect steak. Tiki torches around the pool lend a tropical feel on warm evenings.
The Canary Cottage is furnished with couples and kids in mind. There are three bedrooms on the main level: the master (Green Room) with a brand new, pillow-top queen bed and a private bathroom with shower; the Mango Room, also with a brand new pillow-top queen bed; and the Blue Room, with a set of comfy bunks. There is a family bedroom on the lower level with a featherbed-topped queen, plus a set of bunks.
There is also a full-size futon in the living room, and a queen fold-out couch in the sunroom.
In addition to the full bath in the master bedroom, there is a full bath with tub in the hall on the main level, as well as a half-bath on the lower level.
There is an open outdoor shower by the pool. High-speed internet is always available (via both conventional cables and an always-on wireless network, even by the pool!) for checking in on things at home or e-mailing your vacation snapshots.
Two off-street parking spaces, and additional parking on street with permit (included).
*Living room fireplace is not available from the third week in May through the week following Labor Day. Guests provide their own firewood.
**The lower level fireplace stove (aka pellet stove, see photo) is not available from the third week in May through the week following Labor Day. In cooler months, new thermostat-controlled space heaters are provided for the lower level to supplement the central heating.
If guests choose to use the fireplace stove in the off-season, they must provide the fuel (wood pellets, available at most hardware or home improvement stores). Follow the instructions to ensure the stove doesn't run out of pellets, and periodically vacuum out the ashes to prevent smoking.

Map & Owner's Profile
Canary Cottage, Private Pool, 3 Blocks to Beach
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Rehoboth Beach
Nancy grew up in Maryland and has visited most of the beach towns in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey. She knows that Rehoboth is, without a doubt, the most charming, walkable, relaxed beach town in the bunch.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Walk-anywhere location! View - Big green trees framed by wrap-around sunroom windows! Big spaces inside - unusual for Rehoboth's cottages, which are typically a jumble of tiny rooms.
Rick and Nancy usually start their days at the beach with a walk down the Avenue to Cafe a Go Go for a spicy cafe con leche. A block later they've reached the boardwalk and are faced with the morning's big decision: left or right? Either direction, you can't lose. An hour's amble later, we're either at Sammy's Kitchen for breakfast, or back at the house for reading, writing, guitar playing, old-movie-watching or, more likely, napping.

Rick and Nancy live in Virginia but enjoy their Rehoboth cottage whenever it isn't rented - which isn't often!
