We really enjoyed staying at Oak Cottage. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the location was great, walkable to the beach and boardwalk. We had plenty of space indoors and outside on the patio and check in was easy and Debra was there to acquaint us to the property.

We have the most wonderful time at this home! The location is perfect. So close to the beach and a leisurely walk/bike to the boardwalk. The house is comfortable and perfectly appointed. We hope to go again next year.

We've vacationed in Rehoboth for 12 years, always staying at a local boutique spa/hotel. We decided to do something different and try a beach VRBO. We utilize VRBO's in other areas of the country a couple of times per year. This is hands-down the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. The appliances are high end and both lovely and functional; the kitchen is stocked with cooking/serving supplies you might have forgotten, and the decor is quaint and coastal. The location? Fantastic. You are steps away from the beach and very close to the end of the boardwalk. Everything you need (including Starbucks) is in walking distance. The owner was so pleasant, welcoming and only a text away. We are already looking at dates to return to the Pines. There is nothing like a home with character. Thanks to the owner, for sharing such a special place with others.

The cottage was excellent and our host Debra could not be more accommodating to all our needs. The location was perfect for our family.

Just what we were looking for
We were very fortunate to rent The Pines. It is your dream Rehoboth cottage. Wide wrap around porch, well equipped kitchen, and comfy furniture. The yard is beautifully planted, the proximity to the beach allowed for casual strolls after dinner. Quiet and peaceful, yet walking distance to the downtown restaurants…I hope to return many times.

Wonderful Stay
Our multi-generational family vacation was a success thanks to Debra and our stay at The Pines. The location is fantastic and the home is well appointed. We took full advantage of the screened in porch, the new kitchen appliances, the outdoor shower, the large yard, and the location (obviously). Being a quick walk to the beach, boardwalk, and brand new playground around the corner meant we didn't have to load up the car to go anywhere.
This is one of the only houses that isn't fully renovated, which I loved. It has great character and we felt right at home. Thank you for a terrific stay, Debra!

Perfection!
A fantastic cottage, in a fantastic location! We had a wonderful time
Debra’s brand of hosting is welcoming, comfortable and stylish. It’s obvious she wants her guests to love their stay- and we absolutely did!
We will definitely return

Amazing location, adorable beach cottage and guest house!
We enjoyed a 4 nights at Oak Cottage. The house was in the perfect location - on the beach block. We enjoyed being close to town and also the bike bath to cape henlopen. We even biked into Lewes for lunch. The house is clean and very cozy, with beautiful and thoughtful decorations. There are new appliances and cooking supplies - we even baked blondies in the new oven. the guest house is adorable and newly renovated - my sister in law and niece stayed there and had some privacy from the rest of us. We can't wait to come back - we love Rehoboth in the off season - lots is still open but it is much quieter.

2021 Vacation
Terrific cottage with places to sit and relax both inside and outside. Very close to the beach, bike path, boardwalk, shops and restaurants- all in walking distance which is critical as parking is difficult in town. It was a great experience to share with family!

Can’t go wrong!
The property was just as it appears in the listing. Fantastic location so close to the beach and bike riding. An awesome porch; great gathering space for reading a book, having a chat, playing cards, or enjoying a meal. The separate smaller cottage was a huge bonus space! And Debra was a wonderful host. We appreciated the book she put together with useful information on Rehoboth.

Oak Avenue escape
Great house and cottage, steps from the beach. The wrap around, screened porch provided lots of space for adults and teens to spread out. Well equipped kitchen. Debra, the owner was very responsive. We had a great stay.

Wonderful, charming beach getaway
This a true beach cottage with great access to the beach. Pristine property, and well-stocked with supplies and necessities. This was a great getaway with our almost two year old, which was perfectly setup for multiple adults and a young child to spread out. The guest house was fantastic. Sitting outside and hearing the ocean could not be beat. Debra is a great host and provided excellent recommendations. We are already looking at a time to return. It was a fantastic getaway.

Outstanding beach get-away
We loved this cottage! The location is great - 1/2 block from the beautiful Rehobeth beaches, short walk to the boardwalk. The cottage is so very cute and was immaculate! The large wrap around porch abd outdoor patio seating provide many spots for private conversations or group gatherings. This was awesome! Pictures totally accurate in presenting the property! Hope to return soon and stay here again!

Sisters getaway.
The home was what we were looking for in terms of location. It was in a quiet neighborhood with just a short walk to the beach and boardwalk.
Although these are generally summer rentals, it was too cold on the patio for tv watching. It would be nice to have a tv in the living room or adequate heating on the patio. All in all we had a very pleasant stay celebrating my sister’s birthday.
Thanks for sharing your home.

Lovely cottage
Stayed several times at this cottage for a ladies weekend and we’ve always been pleased. It is always clean and tidy and very welcoming. We noticed updates to the decor this time. The owner is very easy to reach and quite accommodating. The location is perfect. We love sitting on the cozy porch where we can hear the ocean. Highly recommend!

First Vacation in Rehoboth Beach- Can’t wait to go back to The Pines!
Three generations of our family stayed at Debra’s gem of a vacation home and had the time of our lives. Location, Location, Location!!!
The easy walk to the beautiful beach and returns from the beach to the outdoor showers and large patio made for perfect days. Everyone enjoyed the huge wraparound screened porch and when it got too hot the central air and well equipped home (2!) & kitchen was a welcome haven. Everyone voted to return!

PERFECT GOLDEN GIRLS VACATION!
Six friends from grammar school, now Golden Girls, stayed at Deb’s cottage for a week. We all loved it there. Played Mexican Train at night on the lovely enclosed wrap around porch. The beach was six doors down with soft sand. The guest cottage was beautifully furnished and so comfy. We sat on the outside patio every morning for coffee. Loved the outdoor shower. Deb, the owner, was always readily available if we had a question. We couldn’t have chosen a better place. All I can say is that the cottages are adorable! We loved it there and would not hesitate going back. Thanks, Deb, we will always have fond memories of our Rehoboth Beach vacation!

Beautiful home steps from the beach!
Beautifully appointed home with fully stocked kitchen just steps from the beach.
Our group spent a good deal of our time on the patio between the main house and the guest cottage, it is a perfect area to enjoy the outdoors in a private and serene area.
The screened in porch was a nice place to take in the sounds of the birds in the morning and the sea sounds at night.

Wonderful beach house and cottage
We had a terrific stay at this perfectly located property! It is only steps from the ocean beach and walking distance to the boardwalk , restaurants , and shopping. We also biked to Henlopen State Park and Lewes. The main house and cottage were beautifully decorated and very clean, with all the conveniences we needed. It is situated on a very large lot , with a patio with furniture and a grill. We spent our indoor time on the amazing, wrap around screened porch, with plenty of seating , tables and a TV! We would definitely love to return!

Adorable Cottage and SO close to the beach!!
We loved our stay at Debra's cottage. We have been coming to Rehoboth for years and we think Oak Avenue is far and away the best location in the area. We loved the wrap around porch, the bedrooms, the outdoor showers and the incredible amount of outdoor space. We look forward to coming back! Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us!!

Great vacation
We had a great week in Rehoboth with family and friends. Debra’s 16 Oak cottage did not disappoint! It had everything we needed and it was extremely clean. The wrap around porch was our favorite spot! We’re looking forward to staying again next summer.

Great rental for a great price!
Entire process of renting from start to finish was EASY! House is well-kept and management is responsive to questions and needs.
