STEPS TO THE BEACH -ADORABLE 1 BR Cottage-9 Park Ave Rear, Rehoboth Beach, DE

The large screened porch looks out to the back yard full of gorgeous hydrangea in the summer and is peaceful and private.

Loved staying in the little house, it was perfect for my husband and me. It was the perfect place to stay, everything was within walking distance. If we were to go back to Rehoboth, I would definitely try to stay at the same spot.
Hi Katherine,
I'm glad you had a great stay over Memorial Day weekend!
Please don't hesitate to reach out in the future if you are looking to come back and stay!

This home is an absolutely perfect place for experiencing the best of Rehoboth. Steps from the best beach, easy walk to restaurants, the ideal comfy screened porch. Plus the very best host/owner we've ever had in three decades of renting. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

Hi Jeanne and Tom,
Where did the 15 year go? I am so glad you keep coming back to your special place. I have you in for 2026. I look forward to seeing you again. I will talk to you in the Fall when we start the renting process. Enjoy the summer.

My daughter joined me for a week at this precious spot. We absolutely loved the house and the whole vibe of the place. Nestled in the garden behind a grand Rehoboth house, it is charming and cozy and tasteful, and clean. We easily walked back and forth to the beach, to the main strip of Rehoboth, and all around the quiet neighborhood streets. Most of all the hosts couldn't have made us feel more at home. We felt so lucky to meet and speak with them. One of our favorite times at the beach!

Traditional beach cottage style decor inside. Very clean and a beautiful screened in porch with fans. The plus is the beautifully renovated bathroom which was a lovely touch. They owners of the home definitely take pride in their rental. A lovely welcome basket was provided too.
So sweet and vintage. Perfect location. Newly remodeled bathroom. Well stocked kitchen but I refused to cook one meal, what the heck, I'm on vacation! Owner was helpful and easily available.

We stayed here for a mini vacation (Thursday afternoon to Sunday) and it was a perfect choice. A quaint, 1930's traditional Rehoboth cottage in The Pines. The cottage is well appointed with everything you might need for a short stay. We typically cook the first night and the kitchen had everything we needed. The bathroom seems to have been recently renovated and the shower was great with plenty of hot water. The path to the ocean is just a 1/2 block away and you can easily walk downtown to visit shops and restaurants. We'll stay here again.
The cottage was lovely. Neat and clean with enough supplies to make our stay wonderful. Loved the little basket of goodies that were waiting! The screened porch was such a bonus - we ate, worked (unfortunately), napped and enjoyed the peace and extra space. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was fabulous. My husband loved the rain showerhead. Kitchen is a bit dated BUT had everything you needed to make a meal. Well appointed. The closeness to the beach was a huge bonus - short stroll with a good sized beach and life guards. The parking pass was included as well. Would love to go back again! Thank you!

Well stocked kitchen. Even thought it was small it had everything you could/would need. Screened porch was great! Location was great! Only issue is on of the new Mini Split AC units was not working ...a few minutes after we turned it on, it began leaking water all over the floor. Called Rental company and they said owner was aware and to use window units.....Someone would call us to come and fix it during our stay. No one called so we had to use the noisy window units the whole time and the living room was not that cool during our stay.

Hi Cheryl,
I'm glad that you enjoyed your time at the beach! I'm sorry that the split system was on the blink but I hope you found the cottage cool even though it was a bit noisy. I apologize for the miscommunication, but we were unable to get an HVAC repairman out to the property during your stay. It is a brand new HVAC Split unit and it shouldn't have been an issue and has now been resolved.
We look forward to hosting you again.
Best,

The cottage was perfect for my husband and me. It was pristine, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked, and the newly updated bathroom was great. And the hosts left the most generous welcome basket I think I've ever seen! The beach is a 5 minute walk and the downtown restaurants are 10-15 minutes. Thank you so much and hope to stay again!
