About this house rental

A classic beach house updated without losing its soul. Two short blocks from the beach on New Orleans Street in the heart of Dewey Beach.

The best features, in the owner's opinion, are the screened front porch and the kitchen. You get ocean and bay breezes...and the mosquitoes don't bother you while you're cocktailing. French doors open from the kitchen and dining areas onto the screened porch, thereby bringing the outdoors in. The kitchen is big and modern and fully equipped. Great for entertaining.

This isn’t a rental full of cheap furnishings. The owner's philosophy is to provide a nice place and expect people to take care of it. This means no party groups, especially graduation parties (college or high school). The neighbors will call the cops. Violation of this house rule is ground for immediate eviction with no refund.

Please note: Owner doesn't provide bed sheets or bath towels for this rental. Each bed comes with a clean mattress pad, pillows and bedspread. Owner can provide info on how you can rent them and have them delivered.

Please note: Check-in is 3pm and Check-out is 10am. These times provide sufficient time to clean/turn over the house and ensure everything is ready for guests.

Please note: Off street driveway parking is available for 3-4 car, depending on size. On street parking in Dewey Beach is tough during weekends and is by meter/app or parking pass (can be purchased at Dewey Beach town hall).

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Porch House. The owner was easy to contact and helpful. The house is located in a fantastic location, a short walk to the beach and restaurants. We had a lovely time!

The house is neat. The first floor is open with the exception of one bedroom. That room was great for the grandparents - no stairs to climb. The front porch was the place to congregate. It is concealed from the road by a hedge. Has plenty of seats and tables.

We had a lovely family vacation in this beautiful home. The interior of the house is exactly as pictured- clean, comfortable, brightly lit. There's one bedroom on the first floor, and four bedrooms on the second floor (double bed, and three rooms with twin beds). Note that one of the twin bed rooms is only accessible through another bedroom or through a bathroom. The house is very convenient to a main street, and walkable to restaurants, bars, and 2 blocks from the ocean. It can get a little loud out night with rowdy neighbors, but otherwise it was a perfect stay!

We have nine ladies staying over a weekend to celebrate a milestone birthday, and we all thoroughly LOVED this home! Beautifully furnished; very open floor plan on main level; LOVED the screened in porch; well equipped kitchen with LOADS of pots and pans, cutting boards, knives, serving utensils, etc. - you won't need to bring anything. Large driveway easily accommodated four cars. Only wish (1) the bathrooms had hooks or bar for hand towels by the sinks, (2) main level bath medicine cabinet so high some of the shorter ladies (5'3") couldn't even see the top of their head in the mirror (lol) and (3) a full length mirror or two somewhere in the house. Other than that, a wonderfully, relaxing and enjoyable home, which we all plan to try and rent again this fall! :)

Two straight years staying here and will be booking again. Within walking distance of the beach and the best food/drink spot, Dewey Beer Co. Attentive property owner. Clean home. Comfortable beds. GREAT porch. What more could you ask for!

Traffic on rte 1 was terrible on our approach to dewey. Property was very well equipped - a little cluttered. We walked to the beach and enjoyed our stay. Could have been a little cleaner and there was an occasional odor outside..we saw a cat go under the house - not sure if it was from this.

The house was too cool. The front porch is shielded from the street by bushes and trees. It’s great for privacy but even better for getting into vacation mode. It’s large, chairs and tables galore. The blue ceiling is quaint touch. The first floor is wide open, except for the second floor stairway. Again chairs and tables abound. One couple in our group was in their 70’s. This first floor bedroom was better than perfect for them. It was made better by a first floor full bath/shower.

Our stay was awesome! The porch was comfortable, huge eating table, kitchen amenities we needed and much more! Spacious laundry room to store our extra stuff as well. We loved the short walk to the beach. Lots of restaurants and bars close and the Jolly Trolly running to Rehobeth boardwalk. You also feel like you’re secluded and peaceful at the house! Four good sized bedrooms upstairs with one downstairs worked well for our girls weekend.

This house is in a great location and the host was very responsive when I sent a question about the off street parking permit. It is spacious and my group enjoyed the screened-in porch. 4 stars due to: floors throughout the house were very dirty; one of the bedrooms upstairs was only accessible through a bathroom or another bedroom

The Porch House was perfect for our short beach vacation. We were two families and the house fitted us perfectly. There is great ambience in this beach house and we loved sitting on the porch during the evenings. The beach was very nice and only a few minutes walk away. Would recommend this house and would love to come again.

The property was perfect for my mothers birthday celebration. The house had the perfect layout, with a large screened in porch that opened out to the main living space, so everyone could spread out and choose to be outdoor or in, but all of the space flowed. One of our guests was a professional chef and was impressed with the selection of pots/pans and utensils that were available for cooking. Would love to stay again.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Dewey Beach. The location is great - short walk to stores, ice cream shop (delicious!) and the beach. The house itself is very quaint. It has a lot of charm and character. The front porch was definitely the best part. I would have rated this house a five, but there were a couple of small things that needed attention. The landscaping was totally overgrown. While the hedges out front really helped with privacy, they needed a good pruning. There was a weed out front that was literally taller than me. The tree by the driveway was also overgrown and the branches scraped our cars when pulling in or out. My husband had to break off some of the lowest branches so it wouldn’t scratch. And the backyard area was essentially unusable due to overgrowth. We also had an issue with ants in the kitchen one morning. The property manager quickly brought us traps and spray which took care of the problem. Other than these two issues, the house was great! With just some outside upkeep, this would have been a five rating.

We had a perfect week staying at the Porch House! There were 2 families (8 people total), and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was within a short walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach, and it was just a quick trolley ride into Rehobeth Beach. The owner was helpful and answered all of my questions prior to our stay. Thanks again, and we hope to be back next summer!

We had a nice time at this house. The house was charming and attractive and very close to the beach. However, one can’t sleep well with the windows open, as there are sometimes drunken partiers making their way home in the wee hours. Fortunately we had the option of closing the windows and using AC. All around we had a great stay. Super friendly and responsive hosts.

This beach house is such a gem! So cute on the inside with everything you’ll need and plenty of parking. But the best part is the location. You are so close to everything including the beach. Would love to stay again!!

My family stayed at this property the week of the July 4th holiday. The house is in a great location with easy access to restaurants, convenience store and one block to the beach. The house is well equipped with everything you should need in the kitchen. We loved the huge screened porch which is very private. Ample parking is a plus. This is not a beach rental with a worn down house and old furniture. It is well taken care of and very comfortable! We loved our stay!

It was a cold and rainy Memorial Day weekend but this house made it all worth it! Spent more time than anticipated in the house since we couldn’t go to the beach and it was great - tons of seating, lots of games, and a great large kitchen. Location was perfect, just a short walk down the block to all the best bars and restaurants. We had a great time with friends and can’t recommend “The Porch House” enough!

We had a great 4 night stay. The house is spacious and roomy. Beautifully decorated. This is someone’s home not a rental with cheap furniture. Loved the extra large screen porch and the privacy of the hedges in front. Great location, walk to everything in Dewey.

We stayed at the house in May right before the season started. It is only two blocks from the beach and has a view of the bay from one of the upstairs bedrooms. We loved the house. The front porch is large and private. The downstairs living and dining areas are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything that you might need. Thanks for making our stay an enjoyable one.

I was very impressed with this house in many ways. For one, it was very clean and well taken care of. As soon as I walked in, I was pleased with the layout and how much space the house had. I honestly don't think the pictures do it justice. With the ten people we had staying there for the week, at no point did it feel "crammed". In addition, there were new AC units installed which allowed the house to stay cool during the hot weather and kept us comfortable all week. It was a refreshing place to be after a day at the beach. Also, the house was properly equipped with dishes, utensils, washer/dryer, grill, and cleaning products to maintain the quality of the place throughout the week. Another great aspect was the location. It was conveniently located near all the main bars and a short walk to the beach. There was also a convenient store within a block of the house so it made it easy to grab necessary house items at any time. To top it all off, the owner was very nice and easy to work with throughout the whole process. He was easy to contact and very accommodating. I would highly recommend renting this house, and I would definitely consider renting this house again if I go back to Dewey.

We loved everything about this house, from the way it is set back from the street behind a hedge to the lovely furnishings to the many reading and relaxing nooks to the kitchen that we wanted to cook (and DID cook) a series of fabulous meals. From the moment we pulled up, we were enamored and it was barely 36 hours in before we started talking about dates for next year. The location was ideal (6 minutes to the beach, 4.5 minutes to Jimmy's), the accommodations sweet, the ample number of beach chairs appreciated and the hospitality of the owners valued. Cannot wait to go back!

I planned a girls getaway over Labor Day and this house couldn't have been more perfect. The common areas are beautifully decorated when you walk in and the five bedrooms offered lots of space. The house is truly a gem and the location couldn't have been more perfect. The beach is right across the street and there are so many restaurants and bars a very short walk away. I would definitely recommend staying at this house!

This home is an absolute treasure! And the kitchen is so great for cooking that you don't want to go out to eat! Had an absolutely wonderful week at the beach. The house is literally two SHORT blocks to the beach. The street was quiet at night and being at this home was such a delight! Cannot say enough good things about the house. Took my two daughters, son-in-law and three grandchildren and there was plenty of room for everyone to roam, relax and play. Thanks so much for a memorable vacation.
