Great location. Definitely would stay again. Beds in cottage second floor bunk room do not accommodate average adults for planning purposes.

Thank you so much, and I'm delighted.You had a good time. I honestly did not know about those bunk bets , but I will make sure people in the future do know the size. THX AGAIN
The location of the property is excellent, with easy access to the boardwalk and Rehoboth Avenue. The houses had everything we needed, and the porch and dining area of the front house worked very well for our large group. We had a good time!

Joe's family was a delight to have rent Gaslight House. I hope they return again and again!
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.
This property worked out really well for our family- including kids and grandkids. The owner was easy to work with, and was responsive to any questions we had.
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!
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!
The property was spacious, tastefully decorated, well equipped and the location was super convenient to beach, boardwalk, food & fun! The host was kind & responsive.
19 teachers spent the weekend in Rehoboth. The property was perfect for us. It was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and Rehoboth Avenue. The owner was wonderful!
We had another amazing week in Rehoboth and our host Mat was the best! We loved the house and cottage; it was perfect for our large family! Mat was extremely accommodating and had so many amenities provided! Looking forward to next year already!

Wonderful people.
And terrific guests.
Always welcome back!
The house is a little bit older, but it is in very good shape. The owner is extremely nice and very responsive whenever there was a problem. This summer is the second year we stayed in the house. We hope to stay there next summer also. The location and the number of bedrooms are wonderful.

So happy your family stayed with us again! We hope this becomes a tradition!
There were 17 of us and everybody had a great time, we already booked for next year. The houses were in an ideal location for the beach and boardwalk, very clean and well stocked. The owner was so easy to work with.
We had 15 runners in town for the Delaware Running Festival. The house was perfect for a big prerace dinner, walking distance to the boardwalk start/finish and restaurants for post race. The house was beautiful, incredibly comfy with lots of space, bathrooms and all the amenities. Mat was very responsive when needed. We'll definitely be back!
