As featured in Delaware Today, this adorable, uncomplicated house is located in Dodds Addition, nestled between Rehoboth and Dewey, just east of Rte 1. (The Forgotten Mile!) Its a great neighborhood with wonderful, friendly neighbors. It is exactly a half mile walk to the sand, around the lake and through a shady, peaceful neighborhood. We provide a beach wagon to pull your gear.
With a newer kitchen, beautiful hardwood floors, and a delightful detached screened porch, youre sure to enjoy your time here. The back yard is entirely fenced in, as well.
The wide open floor plan has 2 bedrooms up, (one bedroom has a full sized bed, the other has two twins) one bedroom down with a queen sized bed. Each bedroom has a Jack and Jill connected bath. The upstairs bath has a tub/shower, while the downstairs has a shower. The roomy outdoor shower is a favorite.
The kitchen has an electric cooktop/oven, dishwasher, microwave, large refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, disposal, and full sized washer and dryer. There is also a toaster oven, electric griddle, and drip coffeemaker. For those cookouts, we have a charcoal grill in the back yard.
We provide beach chairs, and a pull-wagon also.
*This is not a PARTY house. It is in a quiet, family oriented neighborhood, and is the only rental on the block. If your plans are to let loose with a large group, loud music, and 6 cars, please look elsewhere. *
Please note, as yet, the staircase is not carpeted, which may be a consideration for some, especially small children.
The driveway will accommodate 2 cars, plus there is free street parking, though VERY limited.
We keep a supply of cleaning and dishwashing supplies, toilet paper and paper towels, as well as basic spices and condiments.
PLEASE NOTE! YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS AND TOWELS!
We do NOT provide bath soap or shampoo.

WE DO NOT ADVERTISE ON CRAIGSLIST! If you see this house for rent on CL, it is a scam, and it has happened before.

Meet The Host
John & Murphy
Owner
We are John Hurd and John Murphy.
We live full time in Baltimore, and summered in Rehoboth Beach across the street for 20 years, so we love the area. When the owner offered to sell this house to us, we took the plunge. It has taken a lot of sweat and work to get it this far, and we readily admit that we have a ways to go yet, and will continue to make it a place that you would want to return to.
