The rates quoted are for up to four people with an additional charge of $50.00 per night per person for up to two additional.

PLEASE NOTE: This apartment will only sleep up to eight people. OCCUPANCY IS STRICTLY ENFORCED. Sorry, I must post this due to a few reservations that understate how many guests there are and then have more show up. I want everyone to be aware of the rules. Having more guests than stated will result in you being asked to leave with no return of money paid and being charged for each additional person. Overoccupancy places us at risk of losing our rental license.

Failure to commence tenancy will result in the loss of any money paid and any balance will be due to the owner.

See the online agreement for complete details.

Our TVs are Firestick and Roku. We ask that you do not download any movies or apps that have a fee unless the fee is charged to your account. If you have Netflix, you may sign into your account to watch. Any charges that get billed to us will need to be reimbursed to us. NO EXCEPTIONS. There is always a notice informing you of any charges before you download.

In the event of power outages, loss of cable, internet, appliances, tv failure, or any offered amenity, there will be no reduction in rent. A technician will be called ASAP.

Also please note that VRBO now charges a service fee on top of our rates which will be added to the total. We have no control over those fees and do not receive any revenue from their fees.

Check-in time is 4:00 PM (NO EXCEPTIONS). Our cleaners have this window of time to get our apartments ready for the next guest. Late check-out after 10:30 am will result in the charge of an additional day. This extra time is needed to get everything done to ensure everything is ready for the next guest.

We offer a DOG-FRIENDLY ONLY apartment (sorry, no cats due to allergies, no birds, reptiles, snakes, monkeys, miniature ponies, pigs, etc) accommodations for approved dogs (pet fee of $40 per night/per dog applies)!!! Since VRBO will only calculate for one dog, a payment request will be sent for additional dogs. Dewey Beach is pet-friendly for dogs on the beach before 9:30 AM and after 5:30 PM during the summer season and any time after September 15th – May 15th. We are the ONLY beach town in Delaware that does allow dogs on the beach in summer. We will provide a copy of our pet rules. Dogs must have a Dewey Beach dog license which may be purchased at the town hall at 105 Rodney Ave., YOU MUST LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE BRINGING A DOG PRIOR TO COMING!! Showing up with a dog without notice will result in doubling the pet fee. Please note: our pet fee is per dog per day-night so if you are bringing more than one dog you will be invoiced for any additional dogs since VRBO doesn't have a way to select the number of dogs coming. No dogs are allowed on or in the property unless the fee is paid.

Now that Covid-19 is not as bad, our beds will again have mattress pads, pillows, and our beachy comforter sets. You will need to bring your own linens and towels as we do not supply them. if you don't wish to bring them, we can provide linens and towels for a fee.

3 houses rom beach- great location
The location is great. The landlords are nice, but they live right upstairs, so they are always around. The house was a bit musty—mold and mildew were growing on the walls. This is definitely not good for anyone with respiratory or allergy issues—my son got sick. The temperature is very difficult to control—the AC comes in from the third floor, and there are also window units—more cold than hot, which is good, I guess. Backyard while nice, attracts many bugs/ flying insects due to pond/ fountain making it very buggy. There was a leak from the ceiling into one bedroom and the kitchen. Very old looking inside and not bright enough lighting at nighttime. While convenient, have rented better places in Dewey for sure. Dog fee was astronomical- much higher that I have had to pay anywhere else.

4th of July Week
Dell and Larry were such gracious and sweet hosts. We absolutely loved their home and cannot say enough about it. It was very clean and spacious. I think the beds were the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on at the beach and we go away every year. The backyard was so amazing. Our dog loved their dog Mollie and is so sad to be back home. We all enjoyed our stay so much, we didn’t want to leave. You can’t beat the location as well. All of our friends are now fighting over who is going to rent it next time. We are so happy that we made lifelong friends with Dell and Larry as well.

We had a great time!
We loved this beach property. It was roomy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The big fenced in backyard was fantastic and it was great to have since we brought our dog. The owners were so friendly and responsive. The beach was just a short walk away. We enjoyed many early morning and evening walks on the beach at times when dogs are allowed.

Excellent beach option
We had an excellent stay here for a family trip. There are certain things that could be done to make the house better*, but overall it met our needs. The location can’t be beat and we would come back. The backyard area was also fabulous. *It’s got a lot of extra decor, fake plants, and furniture that take up space needlessly and make moving in our stuff for an extended stay (with babies) a bit of a pain. There was also a large stain on the living room wall that looks like mold but might just be water damage or old wallpaper glue. Regardless, a little Killz and paint and it would not have been a second thought for us when we started getting a little stuffy. Small rugs/mats could use to be washed. Communication was great and we had a nice time.

Great Beach House
We had a great week! The owners were very nice, and the house was just right for us. It had everything we needed. We were on the first floor. It has a huge fenced in backyard, which was great for the dogs, and relaxing. It was just a short walk to the beach and town.

Spacious home and friendly hosts
I rented this home for a Memorial Day weekend vacation for my family. Despite the rain on most days, we enjoyed our stay. The home had enough space for all of us to gather for meals and games, and there was also space to enjoy time alone if desired. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home from day one.

Best Beach Vacation Ever
Dell and Larry are wonderful hosts. Apt A was perfect for the 6 of us and our 2 dogs. The yard is huge with tables and chairs, outdoor showers, horseshoes, a big fire pit, gorgeous flowers and comfy cushions on the deck. Very clean with comfy beds. Great kitchen with everything you need. New washer/dryer! We didn’t want to leave, and can’t wait to return again. The beach is so close and we walked or uber’d to great restaurants. This home-away-from-home was like finding a pearl in an oyster!

This is a great house, in a perfect location and very close to the beach! The house is larger and more spacious than the pictures make it look, which was great.

Super comfortable, Fun, Well maintained, An absolute gem
We stayed here on Memorial Day Weekend 2017 and it exceeded every expectation we had. It was right on the beach and in the center of dewey, right near all the restaurants, shops, and bars. The apartment itself was cozy and so nicely decorated. The real treat was the backyard, which featured two powerful outdoor showers, a campfire pit, and three gas grills. We were able to have a little mini barbecue and everything! The landlords are absolutely excellent, very respectful of privacy but right upstairs if you need anything. They even helped us get a fire started. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a great place for your next beach vacation!

Great vacation stay!
I stayed with a group of friends at this beautiful Dewey home over Memorial Day Weekend. It was absolutely beautiful and only steps from the beach. The house was clean, spacious and our hosts were very kind. The backyard is definitely the best part of the house. It's very spacious, has an awesome fire-pit, mosquito torches, benches, grills, and more. Great for a weekend barbecue. The bedrooms are small but clean and very nice. The kitchen is renovated. Most important, the house is only steps from restaurants and bars in Dewey. I'd go back in a second. Fun fact: Dell is the former mayor of Dewey Beach, DE!
