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.

No dogs are allowed on or in the property unless the fee is paid.

About the host
Hosted by Dell Tush
My husband and I purchased the four-unit apartment building in 2001 because we wanted our grandchildren to enjoy summers at the beach just as our children had done. We are on-site in one apartment and rent the other three to our summer guests. My husband and I have been married for 52 years and actually honeymooned in the first-floor apartment. We have three wonderful children and four beautiful granddaughters. Being very family-oriented, we completely renovated to make our apartments as comfortable and inviting as possible. We want our guests to return year after year because they enjoy it so much.
Why they chose this property
Our children encouraged us to buy the place to keep our tradition of Dewey Beach going and to keep it in the family. We completely renovated to make it one of the nicest rentals in Dewey Beach. Our goal is to eventually pass it on to our own children so they will enjoy many more years at the beach. Dewey Beach is a wonderful unique place unlike what you'll find in Rehoboth or Bethany with less crowds and we are a barrier island. We have the ocean on one side and the bay on the other.
Everything is available in the immediate area from outlet shopping, fine dining, beach and bay activities , golf, etc. to crabs and beer. Dewey has a lot of entertainment for nighttime.

What makes this property unique
Relax in style and enjoy all the comforts of home. Our convenient location is great for small children and our older guests since there are no roads to cross and it is so convenient for nap time, lunchtime, or bathroom breaks. Spend time in our unique backyard which is one of the largest backyards in Dewey Beach.
From our convenient location, you can walk to all of Dewey for everything from fine dining to pizza and crabs. Dewey has some of the best nightlife around. Give Dewey a try and you'll never want to go anywhere else.
Bring your dog and enjoy having them with you rather than in a kennel. We are pet-friendly for well-behaved completely housebroken dogs with a pet fee per day per dog. Sorry, NO CATS due to allergies.
