Making family memories!
The house afforded us a wonderful family vacation! It was close enough to the beach so no need to pack lunches but instead walk back. The pool was very nice and overall the house is pretty and cosy. We had a few concerns about the lack of grab bars, rusted out grill, and weeds invading the back yard. The manager’s reply couldn’t have been nicer, and hopefully those things have been improved upon. It was also a bit on the small side for our family of 11 adults.

Charming, immaculate beach house
My extended family stayed at the Dewey Beach cottage over Thanksgiving. The kitchen is wonderful - large enough for our group to put together the full dinner (and several other meals), and everything is very new and fresh. The spaces were exactly as pictured. We were lucky to have clear 60s-degree weather over the holiday and enjoyed the rockers on the sunny front porch and several walks along the wide beach, which is 1 1/2 blocks from the house. Would love to come back in summer and enjoy the pool area. It's a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood and we felt tucked away from the traffic. Communication with Lynn was very easy and the check-in process was a breeze. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Weather + Charming Cottage = Perfect Vacation
The Cottage on Cullen is both charming and cozy. The thoughtful decorating and attention to detail are so impressive …. each room had a personality all its own! Our grandchildren loved the “shark” decor in their bedroom. We took advantage of each space including the front porch with its rocking chairs and the pool area with ample seating and a fire pit. The close proximity to the beach was yet another advantage to this property. Our host was kind enough to inform us that we could check in early since all housekeeping had been completed. The cottage on Cullen offers all the ingredients for a perfect vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lyn was beyond organized, responsive and accommodating. The house is incredibly and comfortably fits 12. It was clean, well kept, well stocked, well decorated! The added bonus of heated pool was just what we needed for a beach break. Perfect quiet neighborhood that is walking distance from everything. Would love to come back and stay again!

Love this house
Lyn is an amazing host to a beautiful home. From booking to checkout, Lyn was responsive, informative and helpful. The house looks even better than the photos after the recent renovation, however, the beds are not as described due to the recent renovations (more full/queen beds than twins). The pool was clean and the house had all that we needed. We didn’t want to leave!

Wonderful Stay
This cottage is super cute! We loved all the little touches around the house. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed sitting by the firepit in the evening. The location was perfect, an easy walk to the beach and close to restaurants and shops. Lyn was quick to respond to any inquiries we had. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Cute cottage stay for a large family
The owner was very quick and responsive to questions both before and during our stay. For a "cottage," it exceeded our expectation and was able to accommodate a good number of guests including our fur babies. It was a welcomed surprise to see two dog bowls full of water upon our arrival to quench our pups' thirst from the road trip. The heated pool was a very big plus since we stayed during the off season (October). The kitchen and bathrooms had ample supplies to last us for the most part of our stay. We enjoyed the front porch for coffee and morning reading, and we enjoyed the backyard for afternoon swims, barbeque, and beverages. Unfortunately, we weren't able to use the firepit but I'm sure it would have brought a nice aesthetic to our evenings. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation at this property and would definitely rebook in the future.

Lovely Cottage and Fantastic Private Pool
As you pull up to this lovely cottage, it is immediately apparent that the owners love their home. They’ve paid so much attention to the little details and even stock the home with paper products, soap, etc. The pool is wonderful and when we weren’t sure of how to turn on the pool’s heater, the owner immediately responded and came to the house to ensure that it was properly functioning. It’s on a quiet street and close to the beach. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Cutest cottage!
Lyn's cottage was the BEST. There were about 12 of us there for a birthday/bachelorette weekend. The pool was PERFECT and we spent most of our time there. And the kitchen was the best size for all of us to sit around the island each night. It was also a really short walk to the bars/restaurants in Dewey (about 10 min walk or less). I only had one question for Lyn over the weekend and she got back to me right away. The house had cute quirky/funny things throughout that we all loved. 100% recommend!

Everything you need, where you need it!
Lyn’s property in Dewey Beach is located by a scenic lake, close to the beach, and close enough to nearby Rehoboth that your stay will provide a wealth of options for relaxation and recreation. Although she describes it as a cottage, the house is large enough to comfortably fit 11 people with room to spare. The beds are comfortable, the house is well ventilated and air conditioned, and the pool and backyard area are perfect for swimming and hanging out. I have no complaints and would love to return. Thanks Lyn!

Awesome vacation
The house is small but that made it easy to watch the kids and still be able to do the things I needed to do. The pool is great, just big enough. The location was easy to get to everything we wanted to do. A block and a half to beach ann was able to walk the dogs on the beach every morning, then rinse their feet in the outdoor shower when we got home. Every thing was very convenient. The only two things to make it better would be upper locks for the sliding doors to the pool and a blower for the patio ❤️

Cottage on Cullen is wonderful!
Wonderful, adorable home that fits extended family perfectly. Great location, wonderful and private backyard with pool, relaxing front porch with rockers. The inside is decorated so sweetly and the furniture and beds are comfortable. Love the outdoor shower and large area to wash off beach sand. Two minute walk to Fifer's Farmer's Market which truly has everything you need. Plenty of parking on a relatively quiet street. The A/C tries to keep up with the hot July sun, but a few of the rooms do get hot during the day - prepare yourself for that. The ceiling fans help. A wonderful week!

About the host

Hosted by Lyn Shoop

Host profile image
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. 115 Cullen Street is the 5th house we have remodeled in Dewey, and we believe we are getting better with each house. Please also check out our other listings at DeweyBeachRentals.net, or VRBO #1378934 (5 bdr + pool), VRBO #1026597 (7 bdr + pool), and VRBO #1663251 (5 bdr + pool).

Why they chose this property

Our homes are specially suited to folks who appreciate the charm of an old cottage, but enjoy the amenities and conveniences of a new home. We do not tear down, but retain the historical integrity and charm of the "old Dewey homes," while fully updating as the space and structure allows. The Cottage on Cullen sits on a lush, fully landscaped lot, with a private, oversized backyard, something you don't find often at the beach. Its a perfect place for children to play and wander safely, family gatherings, or quiet vacation afternoons in a hammock or on a chaise. The heated pool is an added feature, as we have learned how much folks enjoy coming back to the pool to relax after a long hot day in the sun. There is parking for 3 cars, and ample street parking also on Cullen St - if you know Dewey, you get why this is a huge plus! And to top it off, the oversized front porch and charming landscaped front courtyard will be a great spot to enjoy watching the world go by from a semi-private vantage point.

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.
