I'd love to give this a rave review, because the house is very nice: large, comfortable, clean, well-located and well-appointed with anything a guest could want...with one glaring exception. We were required to bring our own bed linens which, for a large group coming from far away, was extremely inconvenient. (Renting sheets was an option we ruled out.) I wouldn't have agreed to this, but it was revealed long after we reserved, when it was too late to find an alternative house. We were also ordered to launder all their towels, whites and colors separately, dry and put everything away. Ditto all dishes and utensils; there were even instructions to buy any depleted supplies like detergent "for the next guest!" Checkout by 10 AM, which meant we spent our last day of vacation cleaning their house. Failure to adhere to instructions would result in fines, we were told. If we didn't finish all this work by 10AM, check-out time, we'd be fined as well. Careless renters would of course ignore all those strictures; those who habitually leave rentals clean will be affronted, which we were.
The house is very pretty, right near a playground, the Tuesday farmerâs market and walking distance also to many very good restaurants. Really very convenient even tho itâs not really walking distance to the beach for little ones. (I walked itâŠquite pleasant, as did other adults.âa chance to shop the whole length of Rehoboth Road.). But the parking passes solved that concern. Takes you right up to an entrance to a less populated part of the seafront for beach access. HandyâŠand you can use those for parking passes for dinner close in to the beach. Kitchen has all youâd need and more for cookingâŠand serving. Outdoor grill and outside table are fun to use, as is the screened porch. I donât think my crowd used the balconies (3) but thatâs a nice private place. My little gals used the 2 window seats inside for reading and such. Street parking (if more than 2 cars, is doable, but the next door neighbors used what is 98 Sussexâs space so we often had to hunt down a space but always found one. Lastly, I will mirror what others said about towels being washed, dried and folded, back on shelf by 10AM. If you have 2 sets of towels per bedroom plus bath mats and kitchen towels, it would be difficult to get them all done in one morning. We started at 6AM. The welcome book gives lots of good ideasâŠthe house is well designed for privacy and quiet. Room for the jigsaw puzzleâŠI left one for you.The owner VERY responsive to our needs. I think this house is a winner!
Beautiful house, impeccably clean and in a great location. Host was very pleasant and responsive.Certainly exceeded everyone's expectations! Beach parking passes made easy access to the ocean, many restaurants/shops nearby and our large family enjoyed nights in the screened in porch. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay at this house. Itâs got a very comfortable living space - the main floor is actually bigger than what the pictures online show - and an awesome screened in porch. The bedrooms are all a good size and very comfortable. Amenities were great, the house has all the necessary cooking supplies and extra beach chairs etc. We loved the location - not right on the beach but in a beautiful neighborhood and walking distance to everything. Definitely recommend this place!
We very much enjoyed staying in this beautiful house. It was very clean and Amy was incredibly responsive. Each bedroom had its own nicely updated bath and beds were very comfortable. The owner was very generous in providing certain household items (ie, dishwashing detergent, beach chairs, soaps, etc) and had a very thoughtful gift for us when we arrived which included a bottle of champagne.
Great, large house that easily accommodated 8 of us adults. Standout features included a well stocked kitchen, a large and comfortable living area on the first floor, two back decks, one being screened in, and each bedroom having its own bathroom. Location is about a half mile from the beach and essentially adjacent to Rehoboth Ave, so an easy walk to retail and restaurants, but would probably require a car to get all your stuff to the beach. Working with owners was a breeze; they have really thought through what information you need to enjoy the house and the town. Highly recommend this property!
A little far to walk to beach with gear. Excellent accommodations. North side beach had parking with permit and was not crowded. Easy access to bike trail and restaurants and shops.
This was our first time renting a beach house. The host was welcoming and generous. When we first got to the house, it was very clean. The views and balconies were astounding, as well as the back porch. Every appliance worked well. Overall, we have no complaints! I would definitely recommend this property to someone interested in renting a beach house.
The home was perfectly appointed and well stocked with everything you could need or want for a relaxing vacation away. Private, convenient, quiet and lovelyâŠthere really are not enough words to describe this beautiful home. Thank you Amy for a memorable and extraordinary vacation homeâŠwe will be back!!
Amy has a wonderful home which is perfect for a family. It is only a 15 minute walk to the beach and equally close if not closer to many great restaurants. We had a couple minor issues but nothing to knock the house/owner about. Checkout process a bit more onerous than other vacation rentals.
Would recommend!
Beautifully maintained, spacious, and well-appointed, the Pines was ideal for our family. From the parking out front to the screened in porch in the back, there are so many things here that make it an easy and pleasurable stay. Even with children (infant and 4-year old) things were spacious and quiet - each room feels insulated from the rest. Lots to love here.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed Amyâs house! It was very clean and big and even nicer than the photos. Communication and instructions were great and very clear. Perfectly located for kids to walk to the park/playground and several coffee shops and restaurants. From the parking passes to the strollers, Amy had us covered. Excellent host, would definitely stay again!
House was spacious and well designed. Kitchen was stocked with cooking essentials plus. Bedrooms each with their own bath were lovely. Openness of the first floor made it feel so large. Plantings around the property were unusual and added to the ambience. Overall a perfect place to stay!
This house was very clean, spacious, well-equipped and had a lovely outdoor area in the back (screen porch plus deck with dining table). Although it was close to Rehoboth Avenue, it was quiet and serene in the back. We used the parking passes to drive to Deauville beach every day, which was easy and convenient. Finally, the owner was very responsive and helpful in terms of check-in and check-out times. Definitely looking to book again for next year!
This house is clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable. It is a little farther from the beach than i imagined, but the house was also cleaner and more comfortable then I anticipated. Very high ceilings which made the space feel huge, and a gem of a back porch. Furniture is very comfortable. Also, nestled in a beautiful neighborhood. You wont regret renting this property. We will be back again for sure!!
We found a great home in a great location with great hosts
This lovely home was exactly as described. The location was extremely convenient to the commercial area while at the same time being located on a quiet residential street.
The entire process through VRBO was flawless. Beyond that, we appreciated the timely communications from the hosts. They made us feel very welcome to what felt like a true home rather than a rental. All rooms were large and very comfortable for our extended family.
We plan to return and highly recommend this home to others looking for a great experience in Rehoboth Beach.
We had an absolutely incredible experience renting this home. The home itself is very spacious and impeccably decorated with thoughtful amenities. We loved hanging out in the kitchen and in the screened in porch. Our friends loved drinking coffee every morning on the 2nd floor balcony overlooking the neighborhood. Amy was excellent to work with - sent a helpful welcome letter with clear instructions, and communication during check in / check out was great. I was so sad to leave this beautiful home & I hope to be back soon. Thank you so much Amy!!
This property was one of our favorites so far! The home is stocked with a lot of the nuisance items you have to purchase for a short stay; garbage bags, dishwasher pods, shampoos, etc. Lots of herbs and spices that saved some stress of what to pack for potential meals while we were there. The owner is accommodating and responsive to messages on the few occasions that we did need to touch base. The home is lovely and every room is spacious. It's very much in walking distance to the main drag of shopping and restaurants. The quieter beach area of Deauville is the way to go and the provided parking passes meant that parking was free and much easier than the beach on the boardwalk. I would highly recommend this property and area!!
Delightful to find a home as advertised. Very comfortable and we enjoyed the location to concerts and restaurants.
Items for consideration: Front door curtain, 1st floor Bath blind, Full length mirror, and BR Closet availability. Change door knob/lock powder room. It provided for funtimes using the key. LOL Check batteries, remote for family room needed AAAs, purchased and solved problem. Would definitely rent again 2024. Great time!!!
