About this property
Family Beach Getaway Home on the Delaware Shore
Holly Bush Cottage is a classic home with a major remodel in 2016 and a new kitchen in 2021. A great place for families to spend a week at the beach. The house features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a newly remodeled and fully stocked kitchen with a dining area, and a screened-in porch (that is magical on summer evenings). There is an outdoor shower on the back deck and a grill. The living room has a large flat-screen TV and the house has ultra high-speed internet (500+ Mbps) with excellent WiFi.
The house is located on a quiet family-oriented street just outside the hustle and bustle of downtown Rehoboth and Dewey. It's a quick walk to the beach (2.5 blocks) and to the restaurants and other attractions of Dewey Beach. Rehoboth and the boardwalk are a short bike ride or drive (20-minute walk). The famous Rehoboth Outlets are minutes away by car on Coastal Highway. Please note: we only offer seven-night rentals during the summer and two or more nights during fall, winter and spring.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Allan Freedman
We are third generation Holly Bush Cottage owners who live and work in the greater Washington DC area. We have two kids who, like their mother before them, have grown up going to this beach house.
Why they chose this property
Holly Bush Cottage was built in 1960 by Edward and Minna Russell. Edward and Minna moved from the England after WWII with their daughter Patricia. Edward worked as a printer for the Washington Post in DC and traveled every weekend to join Minna at this tranquil oasis. The house passed on to their daughter Patricia in 1992 and to their granddaughter Heather in 2012. Now Heather, her husband Allan and their two kids are the custodians of Edward and Minna's home.
In 2015 the house was picked up and moved ten feet to the right of the property. This freed up a lot which is now occupied by a new home. As part of the move there were significant upgrades including two new bathrooms, a new large screened in porch and deck on back (with a spacious outdoor shower).
Locals call the house's location, "the lost mile." It is located between Rehoboth and Dewey outside of the incorporated towns. Today it's a perfect mix of closeness to the action while enjoying a much quieter family friendly atmosphere thanks to this unique location between the beach towns.

What makes this property unique
Rehoboth and Dewey Beach have both been named one of the best beach towns in the United States by multiple sources. Holly Bush Cottage sleeps ten comfortably in four bedrooms. Two queen bedrooms, a two twin bedroom, and a four twin extended-room upstairs. There are two full bathrooms, one per floor, that were replaced in 2016 as part of a major remodel inside and out. There is lots of parking in front and a wonderful secluded screened-in porch in the back that is magical in the evenings.
The house is two and a half blocks from the beach (Chicago Street entrance if you are reserving a beach bonfire with Dewey Beach Surf Shop). We are a five minute walk to Dewey and a 15 minute walk to Rehoboth. While the house was originally built in 1960, it has been renovated and upgraded often for comfort, ease of living, and technology.
