About this cottage rental

I have named my beach cottage La Sauterelle – French for grasshopper – in honor of the copper grasshopper weather vane that has graced the top of my beach home for many years. The grasshopper is a symbol of good luck but I do not have them in the house! This single family cottage is at the end of one of the last sandy lanes in Dewey Beach. It is only 50 yards or so back from the sand dunes, beach and ocean at the end of the street. Perfect for quick trips back and forth from the beach for lunch, snacks, refreshments or naps for the little ones. Wonderful outdoor shower. No major highway to cross in this residential area. And you can easily stroll to all the restaurants and entertainment in Dewey. Or hop the Jolly Trolley on the corner for a quick fun open-air ride into Rehoboth Beach which is just one short mile up the road. This two-story, two-bedroom, 1.5 bath home is a classic cedar-shingled cottage. Tastefully furnished combined living and dining areas, fully equipped and modern kitchen, one bedroom (queen size bed) and one full bath on the ground floor With a full washer and dryer. A side entrance leads to a wonderful outdoor shower and a weber propane gas grill. The circular staircase takes you to the loft bedroom (king size bed) on the second floor with an adjoining half bath. An entrance off the second floor leads you to a dramatic rooftop deck with upholstered patio furniture, table and umbrella. Perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze, sunset and evening cocktails. This well-maintained home features warm pine paneling throughout, tongue and groove wood ceilings, vaulted ceiling in the dining/kitchen area with skylights, gleaming hardwood floors in the living areas and in the cozy loft bedroom. The living room features ample upscale seating with one full size sofa and one love seat, Custom plantation shutters and two French doors And a propane fireplace for use during the months of September and October only. There is a small deck/stoop on the front with one dedicated parking spot on the side The home has cable TV, wifi, stereo, baseboard heating and AC. Occupancy limited to four.

The cottage is a perfect location for those who want to spend the day on the beach. It is located near the nightlife in Dewey but far enough off of the main strip that it is also quiet. We all enjoyed the deck on the top of the cottage.

Nancy’s cottage was exactly as described, 90 second walk to the beach, 90 second walk to the restaurants. Perfect home for us and our two dogs. And as always, Dewey Beach itself was beautiful and relaxing! We will be back!

The cabin is right around 1200 ft. It’s perfect for a family of 4 with a dog. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, extra trash bags, coffee filters, ice maker AND ice trays, and pots and pans. We weren’t at a loss for anything. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star for cleanliness was due to some sand on the floor upon our arrival-however, I feel like this is more of the fault of the cleaning company and not the fault of the owner. The toilets and bathrooms were very clean. We were steps from the beach and loved the proximity to Starboards and Woodys. Both places had delicious food and something for everyone.

This was a cute, small place to stay. It’s just 4 of us and our dog, so it fit our needs well. The outside shower was great. Quiet neighborhood and super close to the beach. Parking was a little tight, but we have a truck, so that’s something we are used to. The air conditioners are very loud, but keep the place comfortable. The only cleanliness issue (that wasn’t a big issue) was a lot of dust on the lights, fans, & curtains, but it was clean overall. We would stay here again. It’s a great place.

Kitchen was well supplied. Great 3 televisions. Walking distance to beach and restaurants. Only drawback was air conditioner cuts on and off constantly as energy saving but it is noisy when trying to sleep. Should put duck sign at top of stairs to 2nd floor. All signage at the lights should be in big print typed , so it is easy to read without glasses as you move to a light switch.

My husband and I loved this little cottage that was a welcome change from the modern condos. Although it is situated among other properties, it felt very private inside. The proximity to the beach is a perfect two minute walk. Nancy has thought of everything when it comes to amenities making this feel like a cozy home. My only critique would be that the outdoor gas grill doesn't work that great but that wouldn't stop me from renting this cottage again.
