About the host

Host profile image
I was born and raised in fabulous Sussex County and spent my summers 'at the beach' in my grandparents' cottage on Hickman Street, where my brother still summers. We rode our bikes on the Boardwalk in the mornings. Mommie packed us lunch and took us to the beach every afternoon. We swam, hunted for shells, sunned, read, napped under the umbrella and returned happily, 'brown as berries' (sometimes, red as lobsters). My brother was genius at skim boarding. We showered off the day outside in the Sand Shower. Daddy always had croquet set up for a nice game before dinner. Evenings were spent on The Boardwalk at Funland, eating Dollies' popcorn, ice cream or chocolates at Candy Kitchen. When we were teens, there was volleyball under the lights on the beach. When my own 4 children were young, I wanted them to share the Rehoboth Beach experience. I had the great, good fortune to buy a wonderful home on Pennsylvania Avenue. Later, the Oak Cottage was purchased and lovingly renovated and refurnished. Ralph Lauren bedspreads, beautiful Pistoulet dishes, original watercolor art, central air-conditioning and a huge porch on which your entire family can stretch out, relax, dine, snooze, read, play games, make the Oak Cottage a home I can share with others looking for a classic, family beach vacation. Now, upon the retirement of next door friends, I was able to purchase the 20 Oak Avenue "Pines Cottage" and have given it the same care in renovating this charming cottage treasure to share with my guests. I've successfully retained the old charm but, with modern updates and appeal. The kitchen has new Cafe appliances and granite counter tops. New hardwood flooring was installed in the 2nd floor while the original 1st floor hardwood was refinished. The back Guest Cottage has been fully renovated in 2021. Come enjoy the relaxing spaces created in this 1925 classic "Oak Cottage." Larger families may rent side by side 16 and 20 Oak Avenue together.

Why they chose this property

You will love this cottage because it is not the Four Seasons Hotel. It is an old style, comfy, charming, classic beach cottage. You will live on the porch. Everyone does. It's fabulous. The yard is large and private. You are not jammed up against the neighbor's house. Plenty of room to play. I always wanted my children to get away from the TV, video games and "go be kids." Yours will be free from the entertainment world and go explore. You will unwind and relax. All that said, there is central air so no noisy window units humming all night. There are TVs in Guest Cottage, the Master Bedroom and the Porch for times you feel like watching a movie or checking out the news ~ try not to do it. You will have a nice partly sunny, partly shaded yard and a cool, screened porch on which to enjoy your morning coffee, afternoon cocktail and dinner. BBQ some Delmarvalous chicken or steam up those Blue Crabs. We have such delicious local produce and seafood. Or, take yourself out to one of the many local restaurants - Seafood, Sushi, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Pizza, and even British cuisine. This is the most idyllic beach town ever, with all the memories of your childhood and everything you want within your reach.

What makes this property unique

Huge Porch. Ocean Block. So much Fun! Only 6 houses away from the sand! A very short walk to a gorgeous, sandy beach with lifeguards ~ Memorial Day through Labor Day. You can rent chairs and umbrellas right on the beach. Just around the corner to the Boardwalk. Beach Snack Shack - enjoy lunch right on the beach, afternoon snow cones and cool drinks - 1 block away - a short walk across the sand. Lake Gerar is 2 short blocks away. The children will enjoy the playground and seeing the ducks. Walk over the brick bridge 4 short blocks to downtown attractions. Known as "Our Nation's Summer Capital," Rehoboth Beach has it all ~ Atlantic Ocean, Rehoboth Bay, Boardwalk, Arcades, Rides, Restaurants, Bars, Live Entertainment, Bandstand Concerts, Water Park, Boutique and Outlet Shopping and more. Charming locale for families and singles.
