He wants other families to enjoy the same wonderful experiences he has been able to enjoy with his family over the years and built on to the home to accommodate family reunions, weddings, corporate retreats, etc. so other groups can experience these special and memorable times.

Amazing House for a Large group
2nd year booking here and we love it. House is big enough for our growing clan of 15 adults and 11 children. Great room gives us enough space to spread out. Bedrooms and bathrooms are plentiful. The rooftop is great for nice days and love the hot tub/small pool. Owners/property managers are all great and think of everything..

A 5-STAR WINNER!
We are a group of 'Wild, Wacky, Wonderful Women' (referred to as the '4Ws'). We are all 55+ and live in the same community, or have lived in that community, or are friends of someone in that community. We have finally found a resort property that checked all our boxes and more! The host was extremely welcoming and responsive. The house was very clean, dry, and fresh-smelling. It had every amenity we could wish for. The elevator made the 3-story house easy to navigate and the kitchen was a cook's dream. Everything worked and was easy to find, thanks to all the labels on the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Can't wait to return!

Guys Poker Weekend
we had two dozen family and friends for a guys' weekend. The place had lots of room for playing, sleeping and bathrooms. It had several different spaces so people could create and move between different party scenes. It was walking distance from the clubs in Dewey and the breakfast diner. It was perfect for our group.

A weekend to remember
24 members of my friends and family stayed here for my wedding. From the beginning, Gary and Debbie were helpful, pleasant and quick to respond to any questions I had. Although the house is huge and has a lot of moving parts, Debbie was there at check in and showed me and my wife how to use every piece of equipment. 5 families stayed in this home comfortably and had enough privacy. We would recommend this place to any big family or friendly gathering. We hosted our rehearsal dinner up stairs in the great room and fit 35 without a problem. We would love to stay here again.

A great place to stay!
We had my brother's bachelor at Memories, and I can't say enough great things about our experience! The house was immaculate and was able to fit us all (all 30 of us, that is). There was plenty of room to either hang out as a group or hang out in the suites in much smaller groups. And the rooftop had a great view of Dewey Beach and the ocean. Plenty of seating for all the guests! Debbie and Gary were great host! They were very friendly and made themselves available to our requests as well as providing snacks. I would definitely go back and rent from them!

A very Memorable Family Reunion
We spent a week at the Memories House July 27th – August 3rd. We had a wonderful family reunion with 3 generations enjoying this incredibly spacious beautiful home. Gary and Debbie were great communicators both before and during our stay. The pre- occupancy check-in was a huge benefit as enabled us to talk through the amenities and sleeping accommodations which were tailored to our needs. The Great Room is very spacious with a large TV and plenty of seating , as well as a huge dining table that could seat all 26 of adults for our reunion. The rooftop with the view , relaxing space , and pool / hot tub combo was a huge hit. The “extras” included were an added bonus , in particular the fully set-up Bonfire Night which was thoroughly enjoyed. We also took advantage of the Chef option who prepared an amazing in house meal for 26 adults. Each day we were greeted with treats by Gary and his team .They take great pride in their home and were present throughout ensuring our needs were met. Although there were a few unforeseen issues , Gary and his team were extremely responsive and worked diligently to rectify any issues to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied in the end. We had a very positive experience and look forward to returning in the future to enjoy this very lovely home and make many more memories. Thank you! Susan/ Bob/ and Family

Excellent Weekend
We stayed at Memories over the 4th of July week in 2023. There were 6 Families with 27 people. Everybody had an awesome time! House was only a short walk from the beach. We were able to watch the fireworks from the roof. The hosts (Gary and Debbie) did an excellent job communicating with us both before and during our stay. The arranged a Bonfire on the beach and assisted with caterers during the week. The hosts were always responsive even during the weekend/holidays over the 4th of July. We loved the location of the house as it was within walking distance of many restaurants and bars in Dewey Beach and was a 15 minute walk from the Rehoboth Boardwalk. There was a Trolly stop less than 1 block from the house for those days when people preferred to ride. We would definitely stay again!

An absolutely perfect family reunion
We are 21 demanding family members from 3 to 83 years old and from London to San Diego. We always look forward to our summer beach reunion and we have become experts at all the various possibilities from Rehoboth to Lewes, DE. “Memories” is a most welcoming, ample, and comfortable mansion on a lovely stretch of Dewey Beach. It’s owners gave us every reason to want to come back in future years. Gary Talley and his assistant Debbie were truly lovely hosts, bringing us little gifts every day and attending to every need. The house itself is magnificent and incredibly well appointed. We love to cook and we never lacked for all the right equipment. The gigantic family table seated us all! Every detail seemed provided for and the residential suites were very comfortable for each subset of our family. Our hosts even found us a chef for our final evening’s birthday celebration! We would recommend Memories wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a very special stay and we certainly hope to come back some day to enjoy the rooftop, hot tub, kitchen, and great room all over again.

Wonderful Experience
We were looking for a beach house that met many diverse needs and Memories did not disappoint. 20 people (12 adults, 8 kids) slept comfortably in the roomy bedrooms and the private bathrooms were a plus. The great room accommodated our needs when having large group meals and kids’ activities. The view was beautiful and it was a 1 block walk to the ocean which is super helpful with lots of kiddos in tow. The ocean was too cold to swim given the time of year so the pool and hot tubs were used several times by our party and were a huge hit. Gary and Debbie were very attentive with daily visits to check on the pool and hot tub and deliver treats, and responded quickly to our questions. Property was very well maintained. Handicap accessibility was important to our party and everything was updated and in good working order. The pool was accessed by a chair lift and then a few stairs, so it was not available to our guest due to his needs but could be available to those who had some mobility. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and hope to book Memories again.
