Wonderful vacation
We stayed for a week and loved it. The condo is wonderful, esp the two decks, and being right on the beach is incredible. We also made numerous side trips up and down the coast and into Rehoboth. The visit was everything we could ask for in a beach vacation and then some. The owner is also wonderful, gracious and instantly responsive.

Perfect location
My family LOVED this condo. The beach access and view was the main reason I booked this condo. I’m already a regular Delaware beach vacationer. Everything was lovely. Leaving the sliding doors cracked at night and listening to the waves?!?! Can’t beat that. Would definitely rebook.

Ladies Beach Getaway
First time staying and would definitely book again. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. We left the sliding door opened upstairs to the screened in porch (a fav for the whole group!). Everyone kept their bedroom doors opened and we all and slept to the sound of the waves every night. We really liked the small deck by the front door ... nicely furnished and great place to hang out and read. Thank you, Susan!

This home was beautiful and very clean. Every single thing was new and exceptionally appointed. All the furniture, beds, flooring, appliances, and decor were brand new and very nice! The entire home was very clean. The location right on the beach was perfect for our family with 5 kids. The views from the top deck were gorgeous! We were very pleased and would rent here again.

Beautiful beach house
Perfect location with amazing ocean views! Beautiful place that’s been recently renovated. It’s very comfortable and really has everything you need to have a wonderful stay. We spent the days on the beach, walked to dinner, then walked to Sunset Park then back to the house to enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony watching and listening to the ocean. Looking forward to our next visit!

Slice of Heaven
We had an incredible time staying at the Sandy Paws Beach House. The updates to the property are gorgeous. Everything is so peaceful and serene. I would give anything to be back on the front balcony off the master bedroom listening to the waves crash on the beach. The owner was very communicative and helpful during our stay. I highly recommend renting this property.
