Our family enjoyed their week at this historic house. Access to the beach, the boardwalk and the shops/restaurants of Rehoboth could not be better. The kitchen(s) are the most fully equipped that we have ever encountered and the host was gracious and quick to respond. Best of all, there was lots of room!

The house is a little bit older, but it is in very good shape. The owner is extremely nice and very responsive whenever there was a problem. This summer is the second year we stayed in the house. We hope to stay there next summer also. The location and the number of bedrooms are wonderful.

We had another amazing week in Rehoboth and our host Mat was the best! We loved the house and cottage; it was perfect for our large family! Mat was extremely accommodating and had so many amenities provided! Looking forward to next year already!

Could not have been happier with the property. Easy walk to beach even for the 6 yr old. Two houses let us put late sleepers in Lake Cottage and early birds in the Gas Light. Everything you could want was there - plenty of pans, dishes, every utensil imaginable, good library, plenty of blankets/pillows, games/puzzles/beach toys. The huge screened front porch was a bonus. Owner was easy to contact before and during our stay; very responsive. Would not hesitate to stay there again - best family vacation ever.

The host was very attentive. The house is very clean. Most things have been recently updated. Some of the older things were quite serviceable. I have never stayed at a rental house that had so many kitchenware items available for use. The owner supplied all sorts of things we often don’t see, laundry detergent, dish towels, Abundance of paper goods. Lots of toys And books for kids. Lots of beach equipment. Excellent restroom facilities. Having the two separate buildings worked very well for our family as we wake up a different times.

The property was in a perfect location for access to beach and boardwalk, Rehoboth Avenue shops and restaurants and serene enjoyment of Lake Gerrar. The kitchen was very well-equipped with utensils, serving platters, and pantry items—we were able to serve a beautiful tea for 12 one afternoon. The very best part was the very large screen porch, where we spent most of every day. Mat was extremely responsive to questions and requests. I couldn’t recommend it more.
