About this property

NOTE: This home is a Friday-Friday rental in the summer months.

This 1950's duplex in the north end of Dewey Beach was 100% remodeled in the spring of 2021, and converted into a single family home. We retained as much of the historic charm as possible, but gutted the entire interior and updated every inch of the house, including the electrical and plumbing.

The house features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 2 outside showers, an eat-in kitchen with oversized island, two porches, including covered and open air decks, firepit w/wood provided, and an in-ground pool with heat/chill options. In keeping with the historic nature of the home, it features a variety of items for kids to play with, including old phones, encyclopedias, an old viewmaster, and more. A short 2 block walk to the dune entrance.

My Favorite Vacation house

I took my family and dog with us to Dewey beach. This was the best place that we have rented in a long time! The house is beautiful and bright. the curtains and blinds keep light out when needed. the house has been lovingly renovated. There were plenty of rooms. the kitchen is lovely and bright and overlooks the backyard pool. Both front and back porches are amazing for reading, having coffee and visiting. Just a quick walk to the beach, we were loving the convenience. I am a walker so I would walk to Rehoboth beach shops every morning for coffee. I highly recommend. Lyn was always just a text or phone call away and very accommodating, an excellent host. We hope to revisit next fall with the family and pups. I forgot to mention the backyard. An amazing spot with a pool, grill and two outdoor showers and plenty of seating to lunch or dine al fresco as well. It was a bit warm to take advantage of the fire pit , but there is a nice fire pit for a fun campfire in the evening. If I could give 6 stars if I would!

Dewey Beach Delight

Great house. Pool really made it for my 2 grandsons. Couldn’t get them out. House was updated in 2021 and was very well appointed. Close to beach. Property manager was extremely responsive and attentive. Would consider again!

Excellent property for our family stay.

Exactly as advertised! We were a 3 generation family and this home suited our needs perfectly. We used the outdoor grill and ate outside a few nights in the back pool area - just a perfect setting. The kitchen is well equipped, the outdoor pool area is spacious, and the owners have very clearly and thoughtfully furnished this unit with attention to detail - nothing is overlooked. The beach is two blocks away - a short 5-7 minute walk. We rented chairs/umbrellas for the week from the staff on the beach as suggested by the owner, and it was a smart idea. The owners were available by text or phone immediately, and were incredibly kind when we had an illness during the week - even offering to go to the grocery store or drug store for us if needed! We will rent from them again, either this home or others that they own. We spent more time in Rehobeth (five minute car ride) than Dewey, but that’s because we had grandchildren with us who wanted to go to the boardwalk/Fun Land. There is a little store just a two minute walk away which has fruits/vegetables/water/milk/cider donuts/coffee/breakfast sandwiches and is open breakfast-lunch hours. Very convenient! Five stars!

Perfect House & Stay in Every Way!

We have rented many houses over the years in Rehoboth & Dewey but none as wonderful as this one! The location was ideal - a short walk to the beach and a quick trip by car or bike or a nice walk by foot into downtown Rehoboth or Dewey. Lovely, quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Very clean & well-decorated home with fun touches and decor. Very comfortable bedrooms with every convenience, including charging stations on each bedside table. Lovely bathrooms with good water pressure in all showers. Great common spaces indoors and out - including the back porch overlooking the pool, which we made good use of and was heated to the perfect temperature, as well as the hanging bed on the front porch- a lovely spot to read a book. A perfectly outfitted and nice size kitchen - every appliance or utensil we needed was there and in very good shape. Great A/C - we have stayed in houses before where we could not get it cool enough, but even on the hottest days, the A/C units kept up with the heat outside and made it possible to sleep so well. We especially liked that each bedroom could control its own temperature. Lyn was incredibly easy to work with - so friendly and knowledgeable and responsive - she answered every question we had ahead of time, as well as during our stay. The guide to the house and the area she prepared was so helpful - including restaurant suggestions for dining out and take in, nearby markets, and suggested activities and shops. We will be back! Can't wait!

About the host

Hosted by Lyn Shoop

We met in Dewey in 1989 on St. Louis Street, and never really left. We raised 3 kids in Dewey, spending summers here on St. Louis Street, and in 2016, we packed-up the family and moved to town full-time. The Dew-Plex is out 9thth project in Dewey, and we are getting better with each property. Please also check out our other listings at DeweyBeachRentals.net, or VRBO #1045335 (5 bdr + pool), VRBO #1026597 (7 bdr + pool), and VRBO #1663251 (5 bdr + pool), and VRBO #2001771 (2 bdr oceanfront condo).

Why they chose this property

Over the past four years, we purchased and renovated 3 large homes and 2 condos in the north end of Dewey. As we work to make every vacationer's experience pleasurable, and establish our repeat customers, we realized that there is a high demand for medium sized, 4/5-bedroom homes with all the upgrades of a larger homes. Therefore, our focus has pivoted to medium sized luxury vacation homes in our most recent projects. When we first purchased the Dew-Plex, we intended to keep it as two separate units. However, as we moved through the design process, and acquainted ourselves with the house and grounds, it became apparent that this old eyesore needed a complete overhaul. Please check back to monitor our progress, and hear what the first guests have to say!

What makes this property unique

COVID-19 RELATED CLEANING UPDATES

We have studied the industry standards for hotels and short-term rentals, and are implementing all applicable recommendations, surpassing many. Although there is hard science showing that the virus does not live on surfaces, we are taking precautions to limit the “touchable” surfaces in our homes. Some examples include: Removing most throw blankets and decorative pillows from the home; Removing many countertop decorative items; Disinfecting books and games, and storing in cabinets or closets; Limiting bedding to pillows with zippered covers, freshly laundered mattress pads, and one simple bed covering per bed. Removing all beach chairs and umbrellas, where applicable.

The complete list of the new cleaning regimes and protocols is available in the Handbook for the house, which is available upon request. (Space is limited in this focum)

There is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas. Proper operation and maintenance (including disinfection with chlorine and bromine) of these facilities inactivates the virus in the water.
