Sandy Paws was so clean, nicely updated and decorated. Was great we could have our dog with us. Perfect location and walking distance to good restaurants. Host was so wonderful to work with. We hope to be back in the future!
Sandy Paws was extremely clean! The beach view from the second story balcony is amazing! The beach is literally steps from the house. We absolutely loved our stay!

Aw, thank you so much! We’re thrilled you loved Sandy Paws—especially the second-story balcony views and being just steps from the sand. We work hard to keep the home spotless, so your note about cleanliness means a lot.
You’re welcome back anytime—can’t wait to host you again! 🌊🐾
The newly decorated Sandy Paws meet our expectations and more. Comfortable furnishings, a great comfy bed, and all we needed to have a great escape. Susan was communicative and friendly. We'd come here again in a heartbeat.
Incredibly well-located, this beachfront property exceeded our expectations. Truly an unforgettable vacation experience with friends and our pup.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review—it truly means a lot! I'm so glad you enjoyed the location and that your pup got to enjoy the beach too! I hope you’ll come back to Dewey soon.
Sandy Paws was a nicely presented beach home. Plenty of room for family but it was just my spouse and I. Mother Nature was really making a show on our second day but we did get to enjoy the beach, which was so close, on the other days we were there. As it was after the summer season it was so very relaxing.
Great rental and perfect location in Dewey! Our family stayed for two weeks and loved it - the rental had everything we needed and more: picture-perfect views, great cooking supplies, tons of extra blankets and beach gear, books, cards and board games, etc. The owner, Susan, was super helpful and communicative, checking in on us several times during Hurricane Erin. We loved it so much that we already booked for next year! Definitely recommend.

Thank you for such a wonderful review! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the views, beach gear, games, and all the little touches at Sandy Paws. I’m also relieved that Hurricane Erin didn’t affect your stay and that everyone was safe and secure. It means so much that you’ve already booked for next year—we look forward to welcoming you back!
Awesome, super clean rental right on beachfront with amazing views- could sit in the upstairs balcony all day. Our host was very accommodating and always available. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you Monica! I appreciate your flexibility as we navigated the re-opening of the beaches and your willingness to delay your arrival for a few days until we knew that things would be open and that everything at the beach house was good and in working order!
The property was exactly as listed. The cottage is beautiful and the location is amazing. We had a wonderful stay and will
definitely be staying there again.

Beachfront and pet friendly, a perfect combination for vacation!
The beach & ocean are steps away from the house. The restaurants and music are walkable. First vacation in Dewey & we loved it.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Brooks
I grew up in this area, and bought this ocean front townhome, so others can discover and enjoy this jewel of a beach.
Why they chose this property
Dewey Beach is fun, dog-friendly, and has some of the cleanest beaches on the East Coast. In addition to the townhouse location being right on the beach, you can walk to several restaurants, shops and bars.
What makes this property unique
My favorite thing about Dewey Beach is how dog friendly it is. What I especially love is waking up each morning, drinking my coffee on the enclosed upstairs porch, to the sound of the waves and seeing all the dogs on the beach, chasing balls, running along the shore and greeting each other with wagging tails.
