Family Beach House Steps to Beach Sleeps 10
About this house rental
Classic cedar shingle family beach cottage in the exclusive Pines neighborhood sleeps 10 and is just steps to Rehoboth's best beach and an easy stroll into town to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. This is one of Rehoboth's original cottages and it is just four houses back from the beach. Charming and older well-maintained home but still very comfortable and you cannot beat the location and price. Perfect for family and group reunions. **Please note that guests must bring their own bed and bath linens. Each bed is outfitted with a mattress pad, bedspread, and pillows. The large front screened porch is perfect for gatherings and dining in the open fresh air. There is even a screened porch in the back off the kitchen. There are tennis courts at the end of the street and a tot lot nearby. Parking for two cards in the driveway and street parking permits for two additional cars. Wi-Fi and full cable TV. Outdoor shower. Note: If you are looking for an original 1940's beach cottage, three houses back from the best beach in Rehoboth, this is it. A home that is clean and in working condition but lacking modern luxury amenties like granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and appointments. BUT, reasonably priced. You can not beat the location. Sit on the porch and catch an evening breeze.

We had a lovely time in this spacious older cottage. This is not for people expecting a modern place, it’s rustic, a little musty & not quite right in spots and that suited us just fine. A tiny walk to the beach with large bedrooms, wonderful front porch and sufficient inside family space. The property is aging and needs lots of repairs, but it was as expected per reviews and pricing. We had a wonderful time there.

I read prior renter reviews believing (optimistically or foolishly) that they were picky consumers who expected perfection; I was wrong.
the HVAC is noisy and doesn't cool the 2nd fl. The lamps (purchased at yard sales) are broken, the electric sockets don't work. the paint is peeling inside and falling down. the dryer doesn't shut off. Ceiling fans don't work. the outdoor shower is disgusting- old wood with bugs and yard debris, and the indoor baths are skeevy. the bugs, ants, silver fish and spiders are relentless. the rear porch has broken screens and the front porch has a dining table that is TOO big for the space ...we had to crawl over stools to get around. the dishwasher rollers are missing. Basic cooking tools are absent- seriously no broiler pan to cook bacon. Sashes are stuck open. letting in humid air
The Pines is more frat house than cottage. All kidding (not) aside I had my family down and I was embarrassed. Don't assume that a high price guarantees quality.

We really did enjoy 8 Henlopen. The house is a classic, but we loved it. Two screened-in porches with fans r comfy. The wood floors are old-school thin planks and creaky but make the house, the stairs and second floor are a beach white. 2nd floor bedroom carpets in great shape. All the beds are super comfy. The bathrooms r clean and have been somewhat updated, water pressure is great. Kitchen works fine, nothing fancy. Lots of fun lamps, cool shelving and art work add a touch of high-end to this classic beach house. Would rent again.

The home is spacious and the property manager is responsive. The directions to access the home and the description were pretty accurate. Everyone was friendly and it was a nice place to take a walk or bike ride. The location is convenient to the beach, boardwalk, restaurants etc. I found out that the parking pass can also be used for free parking at the beach lot. I wish I would’ve known that earlier in the week.
My guess is that it just an investment property and not someone’s actual vacation home. If it were my home, I would pay more careful attention to the condition. It could be such a beautiful home! There were ants on the counters and we found them in our things. Paint peeling from the ceiling, multiple doorknobs and blinds broken. The area rugs were so worn they don’t stick to the underpad anymore causing a tripping hazard. The air conditioning unit is loud and causes the house the shake. The yard is neglected. The outside shower knob looks broken or about to break. We didn’t use it. Screens are ripped on screened porches. The dryer does not shut off on its own-which I realized after starting it before bed and waking up three hours later with it still running. It’s a great location, you’d think an investor would put necessary improvements in. The ROI would surely pay off.

My friends and I were very comfortable in this house for a girls getaway. The house was located on a quiet street but the beach and town were in walking distance. The rooms were spacious but the front porch was our favorite. We watched the walkers, joggers, and bikers every morning which prompted us to get moving ourselves for some exercise.
The house was a rustic and charming beach house. It would be a lovely place to bring families also.
Check in was a breeze. We didn't have any issues with our stay but the owner provided his cell if we needed him.

We had a lovely stay at The Pines. The place was very clean and so convenient to walk to the beach, be close to biking trains, walk to the boardwalk, or take a short drive to the main shopping area. Very compatible for families or a group of friends looking to escape to the beach.
We were surprised to learn (only after final payment was made and check-in details were provided) that we needed to provide our own linens, beach towels, and beach chairs. This was inconvenient for packing space and I needed to buy extra sheets to fit the bed sizes. I would highly recommend that the host also invest in some beach chairs as well since they are bulky to pack and would be impossible if families/friends fly into the VRBO.

A very charming beach cottage, but renters should know that it’s more rustic than described. The house is a 3 block, 5-min walk from the beach but not a few houses away. Very long walk to town (but easy drive). Spacious house but lots falling apart- knobs and drawers coming off, paint chipping, broken furniture, grill igniter broken, exposed nails, etc. The a/c doesn’t work in one of the bedrooms. Otherwise, good bones, a cute neighborhood, and comfortable front porch. With a few fixes this place would be a great rental.

Perfect and convenient location near the beach and Henlopen State Park. Had a few issues that surfaced after check in but Michael the property manager was extremely responsive and, along with the owner, resolved the issues as quickly as possible. My family and I enjoyed our stay and loved the convenient location for biking/hiking and beach going. Board walk was a short walk away. We would definitely return to this property in the future.

Family Vacation 2022
Our family had a great vacation this year. The rental property fit our needs. It was clean and very cozy. It was very close to the beach and walking distance to the boardwalk. There were also parks in walking distance for the children.

Practically perfect in every way
This home was a terrific find. We have been coming to Rehoboth for years and this place was magic. One of the original homes in Rehoboth. Front and back porches for meals, card games, puzzles, comfy beds. Steps to the beach, quick stroll to the boardwalk, great kitchen and comfy couches.
Our host was the best!! We will be back!!

We were pleasantly surprised by this property! The house is much nicer than the pictures on VRBO. Our favorite feature was the front porch - large and comfortable seating. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms were very cozy and offered plenty of closet space. The mattresses were of good quality. We had to bring own linen and towels which wasn’t a big deal. It would have been nice if there were beach chairs available (had to go buy some). Speaking of beach: Easy walk to beach. Less than 1 mile walk into town. Our group all said we would love to rent this house again!
