PLEASE NOTE: This apartment will only sleep up to six people. OCCUPANCY IS STRICTLY ENFORCED. Sorry, I must post this due to a few reservations that understate how many guests there are and then just have them show up. I want to be sure everyone is aware of the rules. Having more guests than stated will result in you being asked to leave with no return of money paid and being charged for each additional person. Overoccupancy places us at risk of losing our rental license.

Failure to commence tenancy will result in the loss of any money paid and any balance will be due to the owner.

See the online agreement for complete details.

Our TVs are Firestick and Roku. We ask that you do not download any movies or apps that have a fee unless the fee is charged to your account. If you have Netflix, you may sign into your account to watch. Any charges that get billed to us will need to be reimbursed to us. NO EXCEPTIONS. There is always a notice informing you of any charges before you download.

In the event of power outages, loss of cable, internet, appliances, tv failure, or any offered amenity, there will be no reduction in rent. A technician will be called ASAP.

Also please note that VRBO now charges a service fee on top of our rates which will be added to the total. We have no control over those fees and do not receive any revenue from their fees.

Check-in time is 4:00 PM (NO EXCEPTIONS). Our cleaners have this window of time to get our apartments ready for the next guest. Late check-out after 10:30 am will result in the charge of an additional day. This extra time is needed to get everything done to ensure everything is ready for the next guest.

We offer a DOG-FRIENDLY ONLY apartment (sorry, no cats due to allergies, no birds, reptiles, snakes, monkeys, miniature ponies, pigs, etc) accommodations for approved dogs (pet fee of $40 per night/per dog applies)!!!

Dewey Beach is pet-friendly for dogs on the beach before 9:30 AM and after 5:30 PM during the summer season and any time after September 15th – May 15th. We are the ONLY beach town in Delaware that does allow dogs on the beach in summer. We will provide a copy of our pet rules. Dogs must have a Dewey Beach dog license which may be purchased at the town hall at 105 Rodney Ave., YOU MUST LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE BRINGING A DOG PRIOR TO COMING!! Showing up with a dog without notice will result in doubling the pet fee. Please note: our pet fee is per dog per day-night so if you are bringing more than one dog you will be invoiced for any additional dogs since VRBO doesn't have a way to select the number of dogs coming. No dogs are allowed on or in the property unless the fee is paid.

Now that Covid-19 is not as bad, our beds will again have mattress pads, pillows, and our beachy comforter sets. You will need to bring your own linens and towels as we do not supply them. if you don't wish to bring them, we can provide linens and towels for a fee.

My family and I stayed at Dell Tush’s apartment for a week. It was lovely and steps away from the gorgeous ocean! The best part was that we were able to bring our puppy who turned one on our vacation!

My husband and I rented for a few days for a beach getaway. We chose this property for its proximity to the beach (literally less than a minute walk) and it was dog friendly. The fenced in backyard was huge, but had a lot of stuff scattered around so you'll want to keep a close eye on your dog if you let them off their leash to make sure they don't go snooping in something they shouldn't. There was also a standing water feature, which meant lots of mosquitos - be sure to take bug spray if you want to enjoy the space! While they weren't an issue for us, the stairs leading in/out of the 2nd floor were a little steep and could be problematic for some (older dogs with hip problems would struggle). The living space was fine, and the kitchen was stocked with most basics you would need if you choose to cook (pots, pans, plates, cutlery, etc.). The two bedrooms are pretty small and there wasn't much space besides the bed and a dresser - wasn't a problem for us though since we spent most of our time outside! All in all, would consider returning to this property again in the future.

Nice seaside retreat
Nice seaside retreat
We stayed in apartment B with our pups. The unit was up a flight of narrow stairs. Overall, the location was great and has ample parking for guests who may need to purchase day passes. The beach entry point was not overly crowded, which was nice. Everything was clean inside and the people were very nice- they have an on-site unit. The unit could use some updates as it is becoming worn and outdated. The common area is large and fenced, but cluttered; All that said, would stay again.
