About this house rental
What a fabulous beach cottage in which to make family memories . . and it's DOG FRIENDLY too! Situated on Henlopen Avenue in the picturesque "Pines" of Rehoboth Beach, this charming classic beach cottage is a short walk or bike ride to the beach, boardwalk, unique shops and restaurants. Comfortably sleeping 9, the cute ranch-style home offers 3/4 bedrooms, 2.5 BA, spacious living room, sitting area, dining room, screened porch and deck . . . so there's plenty of room to spread out. The wonderful outdoor shower is fantastic after a sun and sand-filled day at the beach.
The homeowner graciously offers a few beach bikes, beach umbrella and beach chairs for guest use. The cottage-style house also has a unique history as it was built by the Crane Plumbing family and the bathrooms have mostly retained their original antique style! When evening rolls around... keep the car parked and walk into town to choose from a vast number of delicious casual and gourmet restaurants. If you feel like staying in, the well equipped kitchen and charcoal grill will make dinner plans a snap. Afterward, you can keep up with your favorite shows on the 4 smart TVs or play family games on the screened in porch! Bonuses: the home offers off-street parking and 2 Rehoboth Beach city permits AND the cleaning fee is included if you stay a full week!
Ideally located very close to Gordon's Pond State Park too which offers a beautiful ocean beach (dog friendly) and is adjacent to an easy biking, hiking, running, and bird watching trail which traverses and links to the the salt marshes of Cape Henlopen State Park. The trail will take you to Historic Lewes... a great day trip for the adventurous!

Beautiful home in a good location. We had use of bikes, helmets and beach chairs. The kitchen was equipped with everything one could want. Great assortment of games! Small fenced in area for a pet to roam! Always love a screened-in porch!

This location is the best spot for a beach getaway. It is on a quiet street so you can enjoy your evenings on the porch. It is also close to town so that you can enjoy the restaurants and nightlife Rehoboth has to offer. Would absolutely book again!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2025
The cottage is located in a good neighborhood and is walking distance to the beach, boardwalk and town. There is good paths for walking the dog safely. The cottage was clean, had a good laundry and kitchen, and three bathrooms — but the furniture (living room couch and porch furniture) were not at all comfortable. In fact, because the couch was uncomfortable and smelled, no one wanted to sit in the living room.
