About this cottage rental
A's by the Beach, a popular all-season vacation rental, is the most charming beach cottage in the north end of Dewey Beach, nested in the quiet Carolina St. Located on the ocean block, the home is only 100 steps from the most beautiful beach of the East Coast. Situated between Rehoboth and Dewey downtowns and a quick walk to either town, its restaurants, bars & shops.
The home is spaciously laid out to accommodate up to 6 adults & 4 children or a maximum of 8 adults & 4 cars off street
The single story home features a living area that runs the width of the house surrounded on three sides by windows that bring in lots of light and the sound of the majestic Atlantic. The home boasts a very large and fully equipped kitchen, spacious separate dining room, three bedrooms and 2 full baths. There are 2 queen rooms, a large bunk room with two bunk beds (each is a twin over full) and two day beds that double as sitting areas (one in the living area and one on the screen porch). There is also a queen size sleeper sofa in the living area. The large screened porch is an extension of the living area and a must to enjoy the fabulous ocean breeze and the sound of the surf. It features a bar table, chairs along with a comfy seating for lounging after a day at the beach.
The spacious backyard offers an enclosed but open-to-the-sky outside shower, a gas grill and an outdoor dining table on the lovely private lawn.
Although you don't need to leave A's by the Beach, the restaurants and nightlife of downtown Dewey Beach are just a short walk on the south side. The Jolly trolley at the end of the street takes you north and is just two blocks from Rehoboth's sparkling Silver Lake and a very short ride to all the shops, restaurants and nightlife of Rehoboth. If you prefer walking, it is a scenic 15 minute walk or you can catch the beginning of the boardwalk through the beach.
Conveniently located on the north end of Dewey Beach and off route 1, A's by the Beach is nested in the quiet Carolina St.
Carolina St has a beach access and the home is 100 steps away from it.

We came for a short vacation and left with lifetime of fantastic memories. The house was amazing. There was more than enough room for all of us. The beach is just steps away and is absolutely stunning. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely beach cottage. Check in was a breeze. The location is excellent as it is between Rehoboth and Dewey Beaches, and walking distance. The cottage was very comfortable. We would definitely like to return for another visit!

Checkin process was very easy. Location was amazing. Beach access is pretty much right outside the front door. Short distance to shopping. The fact that it was pet friendly was a major plus. Would stay here again.

Location, location, location! Steps away from the beach without any busy roads to cross, this house was perfect! Our dogs stayed cool on the screened in porch while we played on the beach. Kitchen was fully stocked and backyard grill was perfect for easy dinners. Communication with hosts was easy, and the hosts were very responsive to a minor issue on checkin with resolution within 10 minutes! Definitely will stay here again!

I spent the weekend at this property on two separate occasions. It has many fine qualities including the basics that are expected - fully equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms, nice layout, etc. However, there are three other amenities that are understated: 1) The location of the property is amazing. It's a half mile walk via the beach to the Rehoboth Boardwalk. I took that walk and then jogged the boardwalk each morning. By way of the road, it's a nice walk (extremely wide berm) and then through the quaint neighborhoods - so either way works for a nice walk. The other direction takes you to the cute little town of Dewey beach.
2). The forgotten mile of beach between Rehoboth and Dewey provides a stretch of unpopulated beach that puts in mind of being further away from Rehoboth and Dewey - very peaceful.
3). The back yard is amazing for both pets and grilling. Very private, conveniently accessed (unlike many beach access properties). It's another way to enjoy time as a family. While I grilled, the pups and kids play and my husband sat at the table so we could talk. An extra backup tank of propane warmed my heart (lol). I often grill for my family.
This little cottage offers a ton of convenience and it's amazing location makes it a must-do for us next year! Enjoy!

My husband and I stayed in this house for a weekend getaway. We were visiting friends that had moved to Lewes Delaware. Initially, when booking this trip the dog friendly house caught my attention, as we were going to be traveling with our yorkie. We are campers and our yorkie goes everywhere with us. However, the night before my son came home and watched our yorkie. So it ended up being just my husband and I. So dog friendly home. Very clean and neat! Extremely close to the beach, which we didn’t get a chance to do. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who wanted to be close to the beach or just visit friends like we did. Everything, we could have needed was there. Beautiful screened in porch and yard, we didn’t use, but it’s there and we could’ve.

Perfect spot to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. Easy access to the beach (as well as getting onto the beach) and so close to downtown Rehoboth. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. Easy communication with our hosts and they responded quickly. Our pups had a great time on the screened in porch and in the yard. I'd love to come back when its not winter! A+

We had a lovely winter weekend away in this cozy home. The best part is definitely the location--a few steps from the beach and a short walk into Rehoboth.

We LOVED our stay! This beautiful home is nestled in a cute seaside neighborhood steps from the beach. Gorgeous sunrises! And close enough to restaurants in both Rehoboth and Bethany beaches. Enjoy a large kitchen and primary bedroom suite. The screened in porch provided another lounging place to hear the waves.

If you’re looking to stay right by the beach, this place is excellent. Location was perfect, less than a block from the water, and the house was exactly what we had envisioned. Owners were very helpful and very responsive. I highly recommend!

This is a cute beach cottage just steps from the path to the beach with a nice screened porch and backyard ideal for kids and pets. It's a short drive to many restaurants in Lewes and Rehoboth as well as to John Waples playground. The arrival information sent information was not entirely current (unfortunately the nearby local market is no longer open.) We've stayed at countless vacation rentals and never have had to make up the beds ourselves (versus stripping beds when leaving, which we always do). Beds already made is preferable as we arrived with children then had to put sheets on all the beds ourselves. We realized an hour after checking out that we'd left something of our daughter's in the fridge and contacted the owners to inquire how we could retrieve it, they initially responded they'd check with the cleaners then never followed up, which was disappointing.

Nice property. Quiet neighborhood. No problems. Few steps to the path that leads to the ocean. Dog friendly. W/d came in handy. We enjoyed our stay. Owners reply immediately to any concerns and questions. Tv's in every room, too. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

The location of A's by the Beach is perfect. It is just steps to the beach with a wonderful matted pathway thru the brush which opens to a beautiful beach area. We had our dogs and my granddaughter with us and the home was very comfortable for hanging out and playing games. The porch and backyard are super. The yard is just big enough and nicely enclosed. Also plenty of parking at the house! Thank you!! We'll be back :)

Such an awesome beach house! So close to the ocean on a nice little street! Beach access was beautiful! The house was perfect too! Screened in porch was so nice to sit out and enjoy the weather! Everything was great! Thank you so much! :)
4.0
Excellent location! We were able to enjoy the sunrise/sunset at the beach, and campfire at the beach because of the proximity to the beach. We were there during Labor day weekend therefore it was super expensive. My only complaint was that the owner did not provide blankets and sheets. We had to carry our sheets, blankets, and beach towels (which was somewhat inconvenient). Other than that, the property was small but good for 2 small families.

Location of the property was amazing. Just a few houses from the beach. Rehoboth and Dewey shops and restaurants are all within about a mile. The host was very responsive, and everything went smoothly.

Love this place
We loved being so close to the beach! It was very clean. Having the outdoor shower and separate laundry room kept the cottage cool.
We walked every day into Rehoboth or Dewey to eat at restaurants.
There was a daily trip to Fifer’s. Best little grocery ever!

Fantastic Beach Week
The “blue” house was a great home for our week at the beach. It was the perfect location for our young family as it made beach days really convenient. No need to worry if we forgot anything or had to head back for nap time.
Our young sons loved the bunk bed room! The screened in porch was an added bonus room for playtime and relaxing. We loved the private outdoor shower and having a washer and dryer on site. The beds were all very comfortable as well.
We could easily head out and walk to Downtown Dewey in minutes. The Jolly Trolley also picks up around the corner making trips into Rehoboth super easy as well. Plenty of room for parking at the house too.
The only down side was a lack in storage space for extra food as there was no pantry.
An oversight on our end was that we forgot to pack bed linens! However we notified the owners and they very quickly got us in touch with a local rental company who accommodated us within an hour!
Overall we loved our stay! Would highly recommend.

An Excellent Vacation Home Choice
The house was comfortable, spacious, and an extremely close walk to the beach. Thomas was readily available when we needed to contact him about something. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place
Very charming home. Super convenient to beach access and downtown Dewey, as well as a very short drive to Rehobeth. Beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was a great size. Loved the large screened porch and back yard as well. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Family spot with easy access to both Dewey and Rehoboth
This house is great for 2 couples with some kids -- the bunk room even has a TV if the adults and kids can't agree on what to watch on TV. But you really shouldn't spend much time watching TV. The beach is just a couple houses down, and if you like meeting dogs, you'll definitely get your chance to meet some dogs. Due to the layout of the streets in this neighborhood, it's not a high-traffic area, so the walk over to the beach is easy and leisurely with kids and dogs.
Have a dog? There's room for a dog crate in the living room.
Plan to cook in instead of eating out? The kitchen can handle several cooks, and there's a gas grill in the back yard. There's enough hardware in the kitchen to get you by, so overall, it's great space to feed the family.
There is a large covered screened-in patio that is perfect for a breezy day.
Rehoboth is a mile away without having to hit Costal Highway, and Dewey is also essentially "right there" as you decide the style of day you want to have. It's a great location. Our family plans on looking at this location first the next time we book the Dewey Beach area.

Great Location!!
Steps from the ocean!! We had a great time staying here, there was plenty of room to spread out while we worked on some crafts. The best part is being steps from the ocean, took a walk to the beach each day. Also very close to restaurants, but a very quiet neighborhood.

Great even at 20 degrees!
We stayed in January when it was 20 degrees! Still had a fabulius time. Had a small snaffu with getting the door lock link but Robert and Kelly were extremely responsive (even though they were out of the country). Great kitchen. Showers had hot water forever. Want to stay again when it's maybe a little warmer....even in 20 degrees we took the 30 second walk to the beach.

A’s by the beach
Property is as advertised. Looks just like the pictures in VRBO. Place smelled freshly cleaned when we walked in. Nice back yard. TVs in every room. Easy and close walk to the beach. About 50 feet to the access to the beach. No streets to cross. Thomas was very helpful with me through the process and great host. Nice place to stay.
