Great location as far as proximity to beach, right on canal, convenient to everything, the calm between Rehobeth and Ocean City! Unfortunately, we did not get full use of the wonderful screened porches, as the weather was more winter-like! House is dated, but a great value at the rate. Dirty dishes in dishwasher, not sure it works too good. Remotes for everything but the commodes! Fenced yard was the absolute perfect setup for our lab pup! Only treed/shaded lot on the street must be awesome in summer weather! Once our hosts got the heat on for us, we enjoyed our 1st vacation in 5 years comfortably! Listing and amenities is accurate, gas grill with xtra tank for outdoor cooking, crab pot on dock (not running till mid-June I was told). Good food reviews from Bethany Blues, Matt's Fish Camp in Fenwick, and Buck a Shuck oysters just north of Bethany on bayside!

It. Is. FABULOUS!!!!!
& if you play your cards right, you never need to go indoors :)
The deck…. oh. em. geeeez! Sincerely, we used only the deck for most of the weekend. More seating than you can fathom. Outdoor smart TV. Infrared heater. Rope lights. Separate beverage fridge. Disco ball, lol! Magnetic door- screens to avoid the bugs, if ya don’t like buggies…
Our 4-legged girls looooooved the fenced back yard! … ok, maybe mommy/ daddy liked it a liiiitle bit more ‘cause the girls could roam freely & we didn’t need to be a helicopter furbaby parent lol
The upstairs master area is a dream as well- big screened in porch! The nature sounds lulled us to sleep every night :) Ceiling heater in the upstairs bathroom too- it came in handy during our rainy cool weekend.
Kitchen was nicely stocked. Bring spices if you are a bit more culinarily advanced. Dishwasher & a ginormo cutting board!
Gas grill just outside the deck!
I honestly don’t know how our hosts let anyone else use it- I would never leave.
It was perfect for our weekend- before- surgery. My brains feel relaxed & ready :)

Property was exactly as listed and very comfortable. The screened in porch was perfect, even on chilly days, it was a great place to take a nap! The yard was fenced, which was perfect for the dog! Would definitely rent again!

This was our second year staying at this fabulous rental. This time we brought King sized sheets so we could enjoy the upstairs bedroom. I officially need a King sized bed in my life. I also love that it is separated from the rest of the house since my Husband goes to bed late and I get up early! Huge fan of the fenced in yard for our pup!!! Will be renting again next year if this is available during the convention <3

We loved our time at the house. Being next to the canal was so peaceful. The patio was amazing.

This is an awesome property! The house is perfect for what we needed. My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days for our anniversary but of course wanted to bring the dogs as well. The dogs loved the back yard area as well as us. Fenced in area that allowed them to roam while we enjoyed the outside porch area. The chilly days/evenings were nice with the touch of the heater on the porch. The house had pretty much everything you needed to live and more. Would recommend this to anyone and will be booking again in the future.

We loved our stay at The Purple Pearl! Great house minutes from the beach! It has a main house then the master suite upstairs separate from the house. The porches are huge overlooking the canal. They have anything and everything you could think of at the house. The only cons we saw were: the place wasn't as clean as we expected. Pretzels on the couch (behind the pillows), the master bedroom's walls by the headboard were pretty dusty and I couldn't get the shower door open without almost breaking it. So I had to take a shower downstairs. The owner has a cleaning crew so the cleanliness is not the owner's fault. She was very nice and communicative and accommodating. Overall, we would have no problem staying here again! Hopefully we can stay when it's warmer outside to fully enjoy the backyard and beach. Meg & DJ are great hosts with a very cool house! Thank you so much!

We needed a place to stay for the week to be close to my parents during a hospital stay. The house was perfect for our needs. We took our dog and the fenced in yard made it easy for him to go out. The primary bedroom location allowed us to have privacy while we worked. While this wasn’t necessarily a vacation we couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.

The Purple Pearl was exactly what my family needed. We wanted and needed a stress free Christmas this year and this rental delivered. Upon arrival we were greeted with a lit tree that truly made my day. The owners were always quick to respond to any questions we had - even with it being a holiday weekend. Highly recommend renting the Purple Pearl.

Wanted to get away for a weekend where I wasn’t bothered and this was the best spot for peace and quiet! Highly recommend this place as it was clean and great service. Property Manager was extremely quick at getting back to you within 10 minutes if you had any questions. I’ll be using this place when I come back in the future!

A friend and I stayed for a few days. I had my fur-babies along. The street was quiet, but close to the beach and some activities. The place was as described and perfect for my dogs. I enjoyed my time there as did my friend.

Cozy, beachy, comfortable house located a block from the ocean. Quiet, safe neighborhood with friendly people. Perfect for painting watercolors, and strolls on the miles of beach with my dog. Did not want to return home.

We booked the Purple Pearl for a 4 day weekend. The house was pretty much as pictured. As with a lot of rentals we have stayed in, the state of the house takes a toll with so many people staying there. It was fairly clean but the furniture, bathrooms, kitchen were in different stages of wear. A lot of times when rental agencies are involved they don't alert the owners to existing problems. The owners were super nice and helpful. The house was perfect for boardwalk and nights on the beach. Very convenient for sure. The best part of the house is the screened in back porches! Plus a bike was there for my 12 year old to use. We would definitely recommend the property, it just needs a little refreshing.

We enjoyed our stay at the Purple Pearl mainly because we could hang out on the screened in porch area most of the time. Our Cocker Spaniel enjoyed it and the fenced-in yard was perfect for her. She met her first duck and got to see the beach for the first time. The heater was well appreciated on the porch since we spent so much time out there.

The home was well set up for multiple occasions and is nicely decorated. The lower section could have been cleaned better, but was a wonderful place to stay.

The home was exactly the same in person as it was in the listing. Great location. Right on the canal and literally a 3 minute walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood (minus the 2 crazy large dogs next door that the owners had a hard time controlling but they were only there for 2 days). Plenty of room in the home. All of the basics were supplied in the kitchen. Some minor things (2 large beds were very uncomfortable, microwave dish broken but microwave still worked, cleaning crew didn't do a good job cleaning before we got there, hole in fence under deck so our large dog went exploring under the deck, etc.). Overall, this was a really good home to stay in and the owners were very responsive. We would stay again in the future.

We had another great stay at the Purple Pearl for our annual girls’ trip! Our needs were anticipated with instructions, amenities, a suggestion book, and everything we needed for a great stay. As a mom, I recommend this place for a girls trip or a family trip. The house is a great size, walking distance to the beach, very clean, fantastic screened in porch, and a nice little dock on the canal. We will definitely be back!

This was my first time using a rental through VRBO and the hosts made it so easy! They were responsive through messages. The location was great. A quick walk to the beach, which the dog loved! The neighborhood was quiet and everyone we met was friendly. The house was what we were looking for. We had a great relaxing long weekend! It was a quick ride to downtown and local restaurants. They also left a binder with activities and amenities around! The screened in porch and backyard were great!

Seriously loved staying here. Cute home with huge outdoor fun! Obviously we stayed here in March so not a ton of outdoor fun was had but it was appreciated all the same. Having a fenced in yard for the pup was beyond amazing. Hoping to stay here again next March ♡♡♡

This is our second stay at the Purple Pearl. We love the fenced in yard for our dog, the beautiful porch area and the location. The owners were also super flexible with us when our schedule changed due to my daughters gymnastics meet. We were very appreciative. Thank you!

We loved our stay at Purple Pearl. The place was perfect for our needs and we loved coming during off season - it was quiet and lots of cute dogs walking on the beach. While our visit was short, we enjoyed having the back porch and looking out at the canal. Meg was great about letting us in a half hour early when we arrived earlier than we had planned. She also reminded us to bring our linens and paper products. The place is right next to the beach, so there were lots of walks, and we even walked to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. Thank you for a fun and relaxing stay!

We weren't disappointed at all, my dogs loved the fanced in yard,, it was 3 old ladies celebrating our b/days,, we would like to make it a tradition! The location is perfect, I didn't realize how close to Rehobeth. It was a cold snap,, we weren't outside much, we noticed the games,,we kept ourselves very busy with Find It! Found all the objects, took us 3 days!
I want to thank Meg for all the quick responses when I had a question,,

The house has a great layout and the screened in porch area was awesome! Also loved having a fenced in yard for our dogs. It was great being able to bring them and not have to tie them out or walk them. There is a well stocked Dollar General nearby that had all the paper goods and supplies we needed, even ice. Can’t wait to return!!!

Our family had a reunion at the Purple Pearl in early November, coming from DE, CA, and NC. The owners were always quick to respond to our questions and concerns and the home was exactly as pictured. We made use of the well-stocked kitchen and shared many laughs on the wonderful porch. Having a heater on the porch made it an absolutely great place to hang out during the cool Fall evenings. The location is ideal to many restaurants, grocery stores, the beach, breweries and wineries. We would definitely recommend a stay in this comfortable home!

It's always nice to stay in a home that meets your needs. We love the location. I love the outdoor shower. My adult son loves the secluded upstairs bedroom with bath and the canal in the backyard. My husband loves the close proximity to coffee shops and the beach. My dog loves the screened deck and the fenced yard. We were happy here.

We had a great time staying at the Purple Pearl! It was perfect for my dog's family vacation. The location is awesome. Short walk to the beach and short drives to many places near by that are dog friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great 10 days! Kayaking off the back dock, crabbing, biking to Bethany, and walking to the beach for sunrise! The screened porch is perfect for hanging with the family, bbq out back, fenced yard for our dog, it was all perfect!

Great location!
Close to the beach and to town. The outdoor area is spacious. Unfortunately due to copious amounts of pollen covering everything and high winds we were unable to enjoy it.

It was great that the back yard was fenced. The access to the beach was perfect.
