Lovely House

It's a lovely house that is obviously well cared for and the owners took care in remodeling and decorating to accommodate many guests comfortably. We were a group of four friends visiting for a long weekend, so we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The location is great - an easy walk up Rehoboth Avenue to the boardwalk and beach or wander through the neighborhood. I would definitely stay at the house again!

Family Vacation

We had the best stay for our family vacation. The house was as described and as pictured, it was very clean upon arrival, and very cozy. Our kids loved the murphy beds in particular! It was an easy walk to the boardwalk but set back enough to be quiet and peaceful.

Perfect

Our stay was nothing short of exceptional. The cottage was immaculately clean, with a fully equipped kitchen that made meal prep a breeze if you were inclined. Three full bathrooms were a lifesaver with a family in tow. The host went above and beyond and was always available if needed. With its convenient location and welcoming atmosphere, we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The family is already looking forward to our next visit.

Perfect location in Rehoboth

Stayed for four days at Kevin's place and the house, location, and comfort could have not been better. The house is well equipped with all you need for a one week+ vacation. Location is perfect within 15 minutes to the beach. House size is great and easily fits 8 people. Kevin was also very responsive and accommodating of our needs. Would stay again for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Bruffey

Host profile image
The "Bubble" was built in 1972 by my father, when Country Club Estates was mostly vacant lots with sand roads. Growing up in a large family, we spent our summers in Rehoboth Beach creating wonderful memories of the beach, boardwalk and it's coastal town attractions. My family still vacations here some 50 year later and the charm and fun has not grown tired, but thrives with so much more to do. Rehoboth is a rare beach town offering safety, convenience and best of the best beaches, restaurants, shopping and water sports.

Why they chose this property

The convenience of the location becomes obvious as you experience a stay at the Bubble, starting with your first morning. RiseUp Cafe is literally a 60 second walk around the corner to get your am specialty coffee or add another 30 seconds to dine at the Egg for breakfast.

During the day, there is shopping at the "Avenue" only 1 block away or access to two beautiful beaches - drive and park to either Deauville Beach (North of the Boardwalk) or go south to Dewey Beach where a parking permit provided is available on each of the ocean block side streets. We also enjoy the children's playground and fishing at Silver Lake which is only a 10-minute walk or very short drive where permit parking is available.

The evenings are limitless for both adults and children with every dining option available, festive bars and of course the Boardwalk experience that has made Rehoboth a top summer family vacation destination for decades.

What makes this property unique

The Bubble is a 70's era architecture, which has vaulted ceilings with a large family/kitchen area for gatherings, in addition to the large front screen porch that seats more than a dozen comfortably. The fact that all three bedrooms have their own full bathroom (tub/shower) helps set up for multi-family vacation sharing, accommodating lots of children. The rear sunroom is a sizable private area that can be a bedroom with two murphy beds or can be a play area for kids or teenagers.

Remodeled recently, with upgrades and features to make it an inviting destination, there's no place like the Bubble.
