We absolutely loved staying at 43 Olive Avenue. Check in was easy and the kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen we have ever had. We had a group of 14 celebrating an 85th birthday. Location to the beach and town was fabulous!! Can't say enough about this property. The owner and property manager answered all of our questions promptly.

Perfect for a multi-generational family

Our family enjoyed their week at this historic house. Access to the beach, the boardwalk and the shops/restaurants of Rehoboth could not be better. The kitchen(s) are the most fully equipped that we have ever encountered and the host was gracious and quick to respond. Best of all, there was lots of room!

This is hands-down the best equipped rental property we have ever stayed in. All 17 of us were comfortable and found everything we needed, especially in the Gaslight House kitchen. The location was perfect. We had one problem with the sanitary sewer line from the Lake Cottage, but our host was immediately responsive and had an emergency plumber on site within a couple of hours.

We had an amazing time at Matt's house. The house was spacious and clean and room enough for 17 of us. We lived in the covered porch area. The house is one and half block to the beach and boardwalk which allowed our teens/tweens to roam freely. Kitchen was well stocked and labeled. Matt is a great communicator, answered our numerous questions, and sent someone to fix a minor repair on the same day. We would stay here again!
