What a perfect stay!! You WILL NOT REGRET Making a reservation at Mathew’s home!!!! Lots of room to spread out, the screened porch is the perfect cherry on top.
If i had to make one suggestion….i couldn’t find a crock pot….Lol! Trust me this place is off the charts perfect for larger groups. There is literally every other cooking and serving utensil, tool, pot, pan, coffee maker…..it’s ALL THERE!!
Oh yeah….the beds are super comfy too.

The location was great! So easy to run up and grab lunch and get right back to the beach quickly. Nice size for our large group, however we had a few days out of the week where we d come up from the beach to shower and after a few showers there was no hot water. I only gave it 3 stars on cleanliness as we stayed in the cottage and my daughter found dried up contacts on the ledge near her top bunk, the loft was pretty dirty too however we didn’t have anyone who needed to stay up there so it was nt a big deal for us. The main living areas and bathrooms were clean. The outdoor shower behind the cottage didn’t work and there were no beach chairs. I will say Mathew was very easy to contact and quick to respond on any questions we had which we did appreciate. Overall we managed to have a great trip.

We all had a delightful time! Having rented this house twice before, I was confident that it would be perfect for the family group. The lovely front porch was a plus...great for reading, gathering , eating and kids play.
Perhaps I missed the link to a linen rental option, and would use such a service if it were available. You also have a neighbor who is very concerned with the number of cars parked in the driveway (she said 4 was the max allowed), and with anyone stepping on her grass. We all attempted to stay on the proper side of the marker.

Our group was 15 strong. Ages 4-75. There was ample room for all with large dining room table and porch dining. Bedrooms were ample with variety of sizes. The kitchen had everything we needed and more with lots of dishes and silverware for a large crowd. Beautifully maintained home and guesthouse with an interesting history!

Our family of 18 thoroughly enjoyed the gaslight house compound. There was plenty of room, the kitchen well-appointed, and the property perfectly situated to the beach and local attractions. Mat, the owner, was attentive and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!!!!

We had a wonderful stay in the Gaslight house and lake cottage. Despite being a large family group of 17, we felt very comfortable in the space and all were impressed with how lovely the home is. We cooked many large meals in the well appointed kitchen, spent loads of time on the spacious screened porch and fully appreciated the proximity to the beach, boardwalk and restaurants while still being on a quiet street. Mat was a wonderful, responsive host who went the extra mile when we had any issues. We would definitely recommend staying in his home and hope to make it back again ourselves!

The Gaslight House was the perfect house for our group. It was located a short walk from all downtown sights and stores, on a quiet street, with plenty of space and a great kitchen. We would stay here again on future trips to Rehoboth.
