First let me say that the owner of the condo made us feel like we were personal friends instead of renters. He literally went 'above and beyond' to make us feel at home from providing sheets and towels (providing we washed before leaving), recommendations on where to dine and activities, and allowing us the use of his beach chairs and umbrellas.
The three bedroom condo on the first floor was spacious, private and allowed enough room for us to spread out with 2 adults, 2 teen boys ages 16 and one younger teen boy age 13. The interior design of the entire place was extremely well thought out from the tasteful and 'one-of-a-kind' artwork to the dining room table, very comfortable couch to the outdoor patio area with plenty of seating and tiki torches. It was just a little hot for us to eat outside during our stay. The beds are also very comfortable. This place is much much nicer than any standard beach place.
We did like the pond behind the unit with the fountain - very relaxing. We also liked that the property is just a 'stone's throw' from one of the pools and the tennis courts. You are also close enough to walk to the nearest grocery store, Fresh Market, and at least 3 restaurants when you don't want to head into downtown Rehoboth.
Also, we rented bikes by walking across the street to All Wheels Bike Shop. They had reasonably priced bikes with a friendly staff and we took at nice 17-mile bike round trip to Lewes through Cape Henlopen State Park on one of the days. It was a fantastic trip and one you should definitely fit into your schedule. Beautiful views of Gordon's Pond, the dunes and Ft. Miles. And since the place comes with a season car pass, we could drive to our favorite beach spot and park without having to pay for daily parking. We would definitely rent from the owner again.
The only improvements we would suggest are (i) the place could be cleaner and we understand it is very hard to get a good cleaning service in very busy Rehoboth, and (ii) we would recommend the owner provide clearly delineated spots for our clothing, toiletries, etc and label his drawers, closet, etc.
We look forward to coming back to Rehoboth for our next annual trip and hope to rent this same property again!
