We had a great stay at the house in Rehoboth. It was exactly as advertised, in a fantastic location just a couple of blocks from the beach and center of activity. Communication with the rental company was smooth and easy. Would definitely recommend.

Kitchen was filthy. Upon arrival we found that the kitchen counter had food on it. So before we could unpack the kitchen items we brought I had to clean all the counters. What a great way to start our vacation. After unpacking we discovered a dirty coffee cup with a dark visible coffee line inside it, INSIDE the kitchen cabinet. As time went on we found at least six greasy plates INSIDE the cabinets. More than half the plates and all the bowls were either chipped or cracked, many of the others were stained. Many cupboards were so full of disorganized stuff that it was an endless search looking for what we needed, there was lots of prior renter leftover stuff. The front oven grill was covered in grease. Most of the kitchen cabinet knobs and doors were greasy. The bath and bedroom doors were sticky. It was disgusting. No one goes on vacation, in part to take a break from cleaning their own kitchen, to have to clean a vacation home kitchen for which they are paying high rent. And who wants to take up the offer from the agent to send someone to clean in the middle of their vacation! With the unit full of our stuff we don't want to go to the beach and trust a complete stranger in there and we don't want to wait around for them to show up and hang around while they clean. And with all our stuff already in place, we would what, clear the kitchen so the cleaner could do what should already have been done? Disgusting. We have been ripped off.

Great stay in Rehoboth Beach

We enjoyed our stay so much. The history of the garage apartment home, the space, the games (such classics!), and just sweet warmth created such a great place for us. Being 2 blocks from the beach made back and forth easy on our hot days. It was the perfect stay, and we would love to return. Thank you!
