Great location - House needs some updates and TLC
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house works great for large crowds, however it needs some TLC. We have stayed at the house for 3 years but have been going down to Dewey for many years. The house needs a deep clean, very deep, including the outside shower. It also needs repairs throughout each bedroom and new mattresses. They are all soft and lumpy with a valley in the middle of each of them. Location is great and lots of room, but for the price it needs attention.

Great views and location.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, nice views from several porches/decks. Nice house with some thoughtful amenities but it’s starting to show the effects of heavy use. Most mattresses are lumpy, misshapen and close to needing replacement, as are pillows. Bed comforters need washing but are too large for the washer. One mattress cover in the bunk room had fairly fresh urine stain and odor - we took it off and left it off and washed it on our last day. Dining chairs are getting rickety and most beach chairs were broken, but we are used to that and always bring our own beach chairs. Kitchen was unusually well-stocked, which was nice but the top oven will soon need maintenance. Flooring and bathrooms were more high-end than many other rentals.

Another Fabulous Dewey Beach Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our week at 12 Chicago St. was absolutely perfect. The house was elegant, yet homey and it suited our 4 families very well. We loved that everyone had a private bath and that there was enough space for private time away from chaos and kids! We loved the home’s location and the super easy jaunt to the beach every day. It was easy to make trips back for lunch and bathroom trips as needed during the day. We especially enjoyed that the beach seemed to be less crowded than our past locations which were closer to the heart of the Dewey mainstream. That’s exactly what we were looking for this year! Our family spent lots of time cooking, playing games, and enjoying the multiple decks and screened porches so there was a gathering space for any time of day or night! To the homeowners we say thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We took good care of it while we were there and we hope to make it our annual Dewey vacation rental choice! We’ve been visiting Dewey for over 30 years and this was our best year yet! To Myles at Coldwell Banker, we say thank you for always working with us to make sure we find exactly what we are looking for to enjoy a great vacation. This year you knocked it out of the park! See you back in 2024!
