  We stayed at this cozy house over NYE weekend and had a fantastic experience. The house has everything you would need for a beach getaway. The kitchen is large and has enough room for to cook any meal. The hot tub was an added bonus and was very well maintained. The overall house layout was nice, accommodating, and has a ski villa style. Tall people will have to duck when changing in the Brady Bunch room but it is a minor inconvenience. The owner's are extremely friendly and easy to work with. I would recommend this house and we will gladly stay again.

  My friends and I used this home for a girls shopping weekend. It was perfect! Close to the outlets, and restaurants. The house was clean and furniture was comfy. We would use again.

  Me and my family of 10 spent the week in the cottage. We were traveling from Maryland and Massachusetts. We had plenty of room for all of us. I loved the outdoor shower and the hot tub!we had plenty of room for all of us, and the kitchen was well stocked. The master bedroom is so spacious. The place was spotless. Our only complaint are the thin walls, so you can hear everything going on. All in all we were very happy.

  Owner response: It's true -- the walls of the original portions of the house are thin, as was common with these 1940s/50s cottages. We've found that the addition however is much more sound proof -- the perfect spot for napping babies, your lightest sleeper, or your loudest snorer.

  We had a wonderful experience at Sibling Revelry. We went with our 2 young children almost 2 and almost 4, our Au Pair, and a 35 week pregnant me. This cottage was perfect for the family. The home has everything we needed, was on a quite street away from the noise, and an easy walk to the beach. The owners were very accommodating and super responsive to everything - knowing ahead of time even if something was amiss it was in order before we could blink an eye. We are hopeful to make it back during our yearly visits to Rehobeth/Dewey.

  My family of 6 plus 2 stayed in the house for my daughter's wedding which took place in Dewey. There was plenty of room and places where one could sneak off if you needed to be alone. The house was exactly as described : a quaint cottage feel with the niceties of modern updates : kitchen , master BR suite and another updated hall bathroom. My whole family loved it : the bride exclaimed it is perfect as soon as she walked in. The location is great . It is far enough away from the craziness of Dewey nightlife but close enough to walk home from the bars ( which my family did). The beach is a very easy walk and it is close enough to walk to Rehoboth or you can catch the Jolley Trolley. This place is a gem

  i have stayed in manny houses in this area and to be honest, they all stunk. i think the problem was that they were too small for me and my six children. When we showed up it was raining, so we all gathered on the couch and watched Caddy Shack, one of many movies in the houses TV library. When the eye of the storm came i decided it was safe to take the kids to get ice cream on the jolly trolley. Then we got back to the house and ordered grottos pizza. Yuum! We rented a surry and rode it all the way back to the neighborhood and sold lemonade on the go. The kids accidentally snapped the chain and made me bring it back to the surry shop alone (i like cheese). i was so glad to crash on the big couch when i got back to the house. I took the kids down to the seebreeze bay just down the block and they all went swimming in the shallow water. when we got back the outdoor shower was heaven! and we ended the day in the hot tub. All in all it was a great vacation Can't wait for next year!! =D

  Sibling Revelry lived up to our expectations. Rehoboth Beach is very tourist friendly, clean, a fun place for a family vacation. The adults enjoyed using the walk/bike trails throughout the community. We felt very safe. Bike paths were plentiful and well-designed. The beach house is charming and full of character. We had plenty of room for 8 people. The kids loved the Brady Bunch room! Everyone enjoyed the screened porch and the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked with necessary kitchen items for cooking. The water was cold for southern guests, but was refreshing on hot days. The uncrowded, guarded beach was clean and inviting. Thanks for the use of the great beach house!

  We loved the coziness and the rustic but modernized feel of this beach house. If you like to relax and like the feeling of being at camp, then you will appreciate the wooden floors, beams, walls and the fireplace in the living room...SO RELAXING! We had 3 kids ages 6 and under and they loved the yard and the play castle. There were NO bunk beds and we slept 10 total in the house comfortably. The couch was also very comfortable. The kitchen, bathrooms and a huge master bedroom were updated and everything was clean and actually nicer than my own home. It's far enough away from the hustle and bustle of downtown which made for some relaxing nights in the huge screened in porch and clean hot tub but was within walking distance to the beach and shops. The owner answered every question we had within a reasonable time and was very helpful. Close to the jolly trolley stops which we took to the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. We recommend dining at the Big Fish Grill, it had good seafood and reasonable prices and we didn't wait long for our order. I would love to come back to this house for a romantic getaway with my husband.

  Great family getaway for three older siblings and two nephews. Started off almost every day watching the dolphins swimming past the beach and ended up every day in the hot tub. Boardwalk was great for family fun, awesome fudge and shopping. If you drive to the Boardwalk, take plenty of quarters for parking. Back patio was perfect for cuddling up with a good book. Peanut butter pie lovers must go to Big Fish Grill. The house met all our needs & the trip took half the time as our usual journey to the Outer Banks.

  This house was fantastic for our group of friends looking to celebrate a milestone birthday. Close to the heart of Dewey, we walked everywhere... the beach, and local bars. (The nearby Fifer Produce was great, by the way!) The screened-in back porch was a unanimous favorite, and we all enjoyed the hot tub. The Brady Bunch room was adorable, and would be perfect for a combined family vacation. Am hoping to return sooner rather than later!

  We spent a few days at this beach house at the end of March 2011.The weather did not cooperate-unseasonably rainy and cold but we stayed warm and comfortable inside. We did get out for walks on the beach and shopping in Rehoboth. It's a charming beach house-thoughtful renovation kept the seashore feel but has a new large kitchen and three new or almost new bathrooms. Very clean property. Spacious dining area looks out on big screened-in back porch. Common area downstairs has an open floor plan. Lots of windows and doors for natural air. Back yard has an outdoor shower. Quiet street with single family homes. There's a wide beach for walking and swimming a couple of blocks away. I understand the parks in the area have trails for bicycling, walking and wildlife observation. Lots of good restaurants nearby for dining or take out- could have used some sample menus for newcomers to the area. Retail outlets not too far away for rainy day shopping. Quite a few state parks along the coastline for touring, fishing and summer activities. I'd love to return here in warmer weather (not necessarily summer) to enjoy the amenities of the house and for more fresh sea air, beach walking, bicycling, and browsing the shops in Rehoboth.

  I have three sisters and we live in different states. About 10 years ago we decided to spend a week together by renting a vacation condo or home. We have stayed in our time shares all the previous years but since we wanted to go to Dewey Beach, we decided to try renting a home, After a lot of research we rented this house/cottage and just loved it!! The location was ideal - close to the beach, but not too close. Close to the town without being around the noise. The interior was also wonderful. We stayed in March and the weather was a bit cool. The fireplace added that bit of warmth that made the place so warm and snuggly. We would then spend the evening in the hot tub with a glass of wine and life doesn't get any better than that!! Everything was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked unlike a lot of other places (only thing we would suggest is a tea pot!). Other than the tea pot, there isn't anything the place is lacking. We would definitely rent there again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Rehoboth, Dewey, Ocean City or any other place nearby. We loved it!!!!

  Winter getaway for 5 high school buds (now women in late 40s) hailing from 4 nearby states. This house was the perfect place to unwind and catch up on each other's lives! Listing photos and description are spot on. Lots of lights/lamps in each room--great flexibility. We kept the cold and drizzle at bay with the toasty gas fireplace (has a fan). The house has a lot of character, is sturdily built, well-equipped, and quite clean. Plus it was easy to keep clean. There were blankets, bedspreads and pillows on the beds. We supplied our own towels and sheets or sleeping bags. There are multiple seating areas indoors and out--we primarily sat around the large dining room table or on the comfy living room furniture (it was COLD outside!). On one afternoon during a break in the rain, we even ventured out into the hot tub, complete with a convenient beverage pass-through. House is stocked with a collection of books and games, though we were too busy catching up to stop and play any games, and we never turned on the TV once during our stay. Had just a bit of trouble finding the place when I first arrived because it was dark and my GPS thought it was further down the street. However, after stopping to doublecheck the landlord's directions they had emailed to me in advance, I found it straightaway. Easily parked 4 cars off the street--probably could have parked 5 if we had needed to. We ate out just once, at Hobo's. Yum. Otherwise, there was room in the frig for all of our groceries, ample counter space, and plenty of dishes, utensils, pots & pans in the cupboards. Yes, you do have to cross a 4-lane road to walk to the beach, but it is residential, and in the off-season when we went, we rarely saw a car on that section of the road. Exchanged emails and phone calls with landlord in advance--helpful replies answered in a timely fashion. I'd highly recommend this house to others, so long as they don't reserve it for the winter weekend we work out to return.

  This rental is awesome!!! The place was even better in person - decor was tasteful and the location was perfect for walks to the beach, the bay and all bars and restaurants in Dewey, and even Rehoboth. I visited Dewey often in my younger years, so it was nice to come back with family to celebrate my 40th on a quieter street. The large dining table, screened in porch and hot tub made for great gathering spots. Plus there were so many bathrooms/showers that there was never a wait. The owners were super nice and very responsive to all of our inquiries & requests. And you can't beat the price ~ VERY reasonable! Check it out...you will not be disappointed.

  We've rented many places in Dewey and Rehoboth and this is one of the best we've seen -- clean, spacious, great amenities but still had a great "cottagy" feel. We spent so much time on the screen porch we hardly had time to enjoy the comfy living room. Hot tub was a great start to every day. Kids loved the "Brady Bunch Room" with 3 double beds and room for all the kids together. It was also really nice to be so close to everything in Dewey but not living in the heart of the craziness. Lovely quiet street. We hope to be back next year!
