The Cottage on Sussex was the perfect beach rental for our vacation! The house is big (5 bedrooms) but somehow feels cozy. Kitchen was perfect, nicely updated and has everything you need. Two family rooms in the front and back of the house and three full bathrooms all made it so comfortable and relaxing. The garage is full of plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and wagons/carts to transport everything. Also, beds were super comfortable; not always the case at hotels or rentals so that was a real nice surprise.
Location was perfect. Two blocks North of Rehoboth Ave and two blocks from the ocean. Parked the cars and walked everywhere. Finally, communicating with the owner was so easy. Very responsive and helpful.
Will absolutely stay here again. 100%

We had 8 adults and one toddler. The 5 bedrooms accommodated us easily and the layout gave us a lot of space, we were not all over each other. The house was well equipped and had a lot of beach “stuff” - chairs, umbrella, wagon, etc.
The house is in a fabulous location, a few blocks away from Rehoboth avenue with a multitude of shops and restaurants. It’s an 8-10 minutes walk to the beach, but it’s an easy walk.
We all had a fabulous week. It didn’t hurt that we had wonderful weather. ☀️

Great house in walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The living areas are a good size, very comfortable. The house is clean. The additional kitchen on the second level was great for family that wakes up early (well before the rest of us) and starts the day with coffee. The completely fenced in courtyard was wonderful for the dogs. Communication with Ron was very good. He was very responsive. We all had such a good time and would love to stay there again.

Our second time at the Cottage on Sussex was as wonderful and relaxing as our first. The home (and it feels like home) is wonderful and cozy and so well laid out. You can all gather together or head to your own quiet corner without any problems.
The location is perfect. Just a short to the Main Street and the beach, but also so quiet and peaceful at the house.
The owner Ron is fantastic. So attentive and accommodating!
Can’t wait for next year!

This house is absolutely charming and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, so we were able to cook and clean up with ease. A short walk to the shops on the Avenue and an easy walk up to the beach. Communication with the owner was easy. We had a delightful stay as did our dogs!

House is large enough for the 8 of us, with room to move about. 3 blocks from Boardwalk, walking to restaurants, and only 1 block from Rehoboth Av. Parking for 3 cars plus 2 passes for always available street parking. Though everything was as it should be, it's nice knowing that Ron is always a text away to handle any minor (or, in the unlikely event of something bigger) issue. I highly recommend.

My wife and I chose 24 Sussex for the proximity to the beach/boardwalk and the fact that pets are permitted and we were not disappointed. The home was beautiful and well equipped with everything needed for some time at the beach. Brand new beach chairs were in the garage and they were used everyday. Corner lot within 100 yards of a wooded area full of trails which were great for the pups. The only communication we had with Ron (owner) was prior to the trip for the access code. There was no need to reach out to him during the trip because everything ran smoothly. If we decide to go back to Rehoboth, 24 Sussex would be out first choice.

vacation June 25 - July 2
We had a pretty nice week. Some of the beach chairs were not in great shape and kept collapsing, but all in all a nice place. Maybe replace some chairs and the beach umbrella. The grill was not clean, but we had brought a grill mat, so that took care of it. My family was surprised bed linen was not included, but I prefer my own, so I didn’t have a complaint about that.

Perfection!
We loved our stay in the Cottage on Sussex! Perfect size for an extended family of 7 (including a 3 year old and a 4-month old) plus dog. Ron is a friendly and attentive host; the house is well organized and equipped for individual and group activities; and the location is close to the beach as well as restaurants, cafes and shops. We are already looking forward to our next stay in summer 2023!

Great hospitality and location
Our vacation wouldn't be completed if we stayed in some other place than the Cottage on Sussex. It was quality vacation. The house was easy to find, it was clean and spacious. Ron was a very kind and generous host who was always available by text, email or phone. Also we were able to take our pup with us and it added to peace and joy of staying in Ron's place. The cottage located close to shopping and entertainment area of Rehoboth. And of course walking distance to the beach. We will love to come back again!

Great location, awesome house
We had the best time during the 2021 Sea Witch Festival. It was the perfect location, very close to all activities. The house had enough rooms and beds to accommodate our 2 families with 5 children combined (and a dog). Highly recommended!

Perfect Weekend with Friends
This home was just the right fit for a group of a friends who helped me surprise my fiancé with a weekend get together. Plenty of room for friends and family to eat, drink or relax together and a great location in one of Rehoboth’s best neighborhoods.

Great beach cottage!
We had a great week at the cottage. We went with my 82 year old mother-in-law, 2 daughters with boyfriends and 21 year old son. Lots of space for us to spread out, but then also be together for meals and games. The house was well stocked with everything you can imagine to include pantry items. The location was perfect - quiet but easy walk to beach and center of town. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!!

Charming + Flawlessly Appointed Beach Cottage
We've rented a number of lovely homes in Rehoboth Beach over the years, but I can't remember any that were as well-appointed as the Cottage on Sussex! It was cozy and clean, a comfortable spot located close to everything. We loved the outdoor patio and appreciated the privacy created by separate sleeping areas. The host was absolutely great to work with - truly welcoming and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

Perfect Family Get Away
The property was perfect. It was like being at home. The size allows for all to get together plus provides privacy. We especially liked the open kitchen and the court yard plus having a garage. Loved our stay and hope to return next year.

Fantastic Experience
We absolutely loved the Cottage on Sussex for our recent 2-week stay in Rehoboth. The home was charming and convenient to everything the town offers. Ron was a wonderful host - thoughtful, responsive and provided great communication. The layout of the home was perfect for our family of adults and teens and younger kids. We’d definitely consider staying here again. Thanks Ron!

Wonderful house and location!
Photographs don’t do the house justice - beautiful property with separate living areas that accommodate multigenerational families from age 2 to 66. Great location just a few minutes from a great selection of restaurants, playgrounds, and the beach! Ron was very responsive and helpful! We hope to return for another visit!!

Birthday Weekend
We stayed at the Cottage to celebrate my 60th birthday. The Cottage exceeded expectations! It is so cute with a perfect floor plan. We had 3 couples and there was enough separation of bedrooms to allow for privacy. The entire Cottage is very well appointed. The location cannot be beat! Ron was very responsive. Would recommend staying at the Cottage without hesitation!!

Loved it
Ron was very accommodating, flexible, and understanding. This was the perfect house for us and a group of friends. Plenty of rooms, plenty of beds, and plenty of room to be together or in different parts of the house(s). Great outdoor space for grilling and having a late summer bbq. And, it’s centrally located. If we ever have a large group again, I want to stay here. Loved it.

Quaint Cottage
We had a great experience! The house is lovely and very quaint. It has a lot of old house charm/character with pockets of modern, which I personally loved. It's very convenient to restaurants, coffee shops, bars and more importantly the beach! Everything is an easy walk. Ron was easy to talk to and work with. He was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again. My only critique is that on VRBO, one of the rooms was listed as having two twin beds. In reality, it had only one twin bed...although I think it was a twin bed with a pull out underneath. I wish I would've known that in the description for personal reasons but outside of that everything was pretty good.

Great property
Our stay at the cottage was terrific. It’s lovely inside and very convenient to the beach and Rehoboth Avenue. The cottage’s layout worked well for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. Ron was great to work with and a very gracious host.

Fantastic stay; Highly recommended
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cottage on Sussex in early August 2020, which comfortably accommodated our family of eight adults and two dogs. The space is delightful and well appointed. Old beach house charm with modern appointments and a clean, tasteful decor. Very well stocked. Great location close to the shops on Rehoboth Ave, and a pleasant walk to the beach. Had great and prompt communications with Ron, the owner, throughout the week; and had a very pleasant in-person conversation with him upon checkout. Heartily recommend this house, and plan to stay here again when vacationing in Rehoboth Beach.

Owner was very rude to us
It’s true that the house is well situated and nicely decorated inside. The kitchen is well equipped. It is close to the beach. That's where it ends for us at this point given the very bad taste in our mouth from the owner. It all started when my husband, who is a doctor, had to rush back home unexpectedly a day early to see patients early Saturday morning 7/25. In his rush, my husband forgot the Rehoboth parking pass in his car. I felt very badly about this. I texted the owner, apologizing profusely, offering to Fedex the pass to him, apologizing again in the texts, and asking him any next steps. He said to fedex the pass, which I said my husband would do on Saturday. He did not complain about that, BUT, all bets were off after that. We were dealing with an angry, rude person who did not hesitate to try to bully us on our last morning. The owner treated us so poorly that, unless you wish to deal with someone who, at a moment's notice, can turn on you, we would suggest you look elsewhere. The owner had emailed house rules to us including a checkout time of 10:30 am before our travels to this location. Come the Saturday morning of our departure, after this parking pass issue and our many apologies had happened, he was ON the property one hour before checkout time, at 9:30 am. From about 9:45 am to 10:30 am, it was an intimidation-fest, the details of which I won’t go into here. This concerned among other things, walking into the house while we still had it and were trying to pack before checkout time, yelling at us to leave faster, and yelling at us that we were “late” and “messing up the day for everybody.” But we were not late. And we had the house until 10:30. It was incredible. It’s sad because it was our one vacation after a year of really hard work, and it left an awful taste in our mouth.

Great location and lots of space!
We loved our stay at the cottage. It is fully stocked for a great family getaway: puzzles, books, games, beach chairs, plus anything you need to cook for a big group. The layout of the house was odd but worked really well for our group, it allowed for a lot of separation. Location cannot be beat, it’s a short walk to the beach and all the shops and restaurants. Love that it’s dog friendly too! Ron was easy to contact and a great host. Would highly recommend!
