About this property

Quiet waterfront, private beach, sunsets, large deck, walk to town, & parking

5 bedroom meticulously renovated Cape Cod, includes a separate modern 1 bedroom studio apartment with its own private sandy beach and stunning panoramic bay views. Spacious living quarters, wraparound screen porch and 2000 sq ft deck complete this one of a kind property. This is one of coastal Delaware’s best kept secrets. Simply unparalleled natural surroundings directly on the migration path of birds, and our docile local dinosaurs, the horseshoe crab. Enjoy family fun in Rehoboth or bar-hop around Dewey with a short walk home. We're the last street on the right in Dewey, tucked away just far enough to escape the noise.

* New linens policy: We prefer that you bring your own, due to time constraints checking out. We will have linens available to use, but renters will be responsible for making beds, washing and folding / returning to rooms. If you are unable to get this completed, we understand, but a fair service fee will be deducted from your security deposit. We do not charge for cleaning, so this is a service that is not included in our rental price. For comparable rates or to have it done professionally, contact Sheets At The Beach.

Our house is within earshot of the oceanside surf, along with lapping waves and whispering grass from the bay breeze. Being bay-front, you'll get a cool, occasionally brisk winds, and incredible summer storms that light up the sky.

There's no other beach vacation home available quite like Bayberry. The attention to detail and years of tireless reworking are felt in the homes subtle style and comfort.

Two double french doors when fully opened, connect the porch to dining, kitchen and living rooms. The constantly updated kitchen is spacious and equipped with new appliances and cookware for meal prep, along with a beautiful collection of large serving dishes and cocktail glasses to match your mood.

The house has been tastefully retrofitted for wheelchair accessibility, including 2 fully ADA compliant bathrooms. Ramps allow access to house, deck, porch and driveway, and elevator access to apartment and entire 2nd floor of house via connecting 2nd floor decks. You'll notice in addition to the regular height kitchen countertops, there is an entire duplicate set of essentials at a lower height, without cabinetry for wheel chair access. The design is integrated and often not noticed until pointed out. The 5th bedroom (connected apartment) is fully ADA, and more importantly, designed and tuned by a couple who have maintained this space without feet for decades. The apartment has a small elevator, roomy 3 head shower with seamless threshold, and custom built kitchenette, all with lower drawers for pans and dining essentials.

Through the kitchen, bar area, drink fridge, powder room & laundry, connects to an entirely different apartment which sits on it's own footprint behind the house. This wide open modern studio has two decks, a small kitchen, spacious bathroom and laundry room.

The main house has 3 second floor bedrooms, with two full bathrooms. The first floor has a bedroom and full bath, which is also handicap accessible.

Our little beach stretches out to the south, and there's plenty of adventure and discovery for the little ones right outside. Summer storms often bring incredible cloud formations, lightning and rainbows, sometimes with incredible force.

Some highlights include:

-100' of sandy beach to yourself, and ideal for windsurfing, kite boarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, catamaran and small boat sailing.
- Spectacular sunsets on 2,000 square foot waterfront deck. 
- 750 square ft screened porch.
- Open living space layout that opens onto porch and deck.

Beach retreat

As our family has grown up, this is a place they love coming back to. It's a beautiful place, both the house and the location, and feels like home. The views and breeze on the back deck and screen porch in the evening are amazing!

Beautiful Spot

This is a true gem in a quiet location right on the bay in Dewey. The ocean is a short walk away, 2-3 blocks, so the best of both worlds. The home is kept beautifully, with comfortable beds, spotless bathrooms and a very well stocked kitchen --everything is thoughtfully presented. I think Mike could teach a master class in hospitality. We had a wonderful time here!

This lovely home was perfect for one young family and two sets of grandparents. Charming and easy home has everything you need to enjoy the water and sunsets. Being on the Bay was perfect for our busy 2 year old. We are definitely coming back. Thanks to our wonderful hosts.

July 4th Weekend

We had an excellent stay in Dewey Beach. The house was amazing and perfect for our group of nine. It was very clean and the back deck/screened-in porch was absolutely incredible. The house doesn’t feel like one of those rentals run by a management company—it has everything you need, is incredibly well-stocked, and feels like a true home. The location is also excellent and the host was responsive and easy to coordinate with. We would book this house again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Location and Perfect for Someone with a Disability

We were a family group of Boomers, Millennials, and Gen Zs. One person has cerebral palsy. Not only was the house spacious, accommodating all of us and handicapped accessible, it was immaculately clean. Located on Rehoboth Bay, the deck and screened in porch offered us breathtaking views. It was three blocks from Dewey Beach and a great location to easily check out other towns on the Deleware Shore. We had a great time and would certainly return.

Best Beach House

This house is the perfect house if you have young kids and don't want to constantly carry things to the beach. It is also a work of art inside and out. The plants, the flowers, the grass....everything has been done to perfection. I cannot say enough good things.

Great house

Very spacious and this most well equipped rental I’ve ever stayed in. The location on the bay is lovely and the kayaks and paddle boards provided were a bonus. One caveat: My fault for not reading the fine print but I was surprised to learn we were expected to supply our own linens. But the owner was accommodating and we arrived to fully made beds.

Amazing Host

The Bayberry house is an amazing property. The grounds are exquisite and the bay view from the expansive deck couldn't be better. The kitchen is unusually well stocked, there are beach toys for the kids and kayaks for the adults. As other reviewers have said, this is the perfect family house. We were there with our children and grandchildren. We encountered an issue during our stay and our hosts went way beyond our expectations in helping us resolve it. What more could you ask for??

Blissful week

Our family of 10 thoroughly enjoyed this lovely home! The setting is like a paradise! The private beach with the most fabulous sunsets is breathtaking. The enclosed porch with the hammock swings was such a hit for our young grandchildren, along with the large deck patio to play on! Plenty of space for all of us... We've enjoyed many lovely homes via VRBO, however, there hasn't been a more gracious host than Carol. She made sure we were completely comfortable during our stay. Thank you so much! Oh, cannot forget about the kayaks either! Another hit! House is well equipped with the little things we all hope a rental has.. ample wine and martini glassware, and even a electric juicer! Again, a fabulous home...

Fall Paradise

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful bay home. Carol was a great host and made sure the house was ready for our wheelchair accessible visit. The location of the house is perfect, allowing for spectacular sunsets every evening over happy hour on the spacious deck. We enjoyed our time so much, we are hoping to make this an annual retreat for our family and friends. Fantastic property!

Soothing, relaxing vacation spot

This home is even more special than portrayed by the photos. Everything was is great shape and all our needs were met. We fell in love with the hammock chairs and the breeze when sitting in the screened porch or under the crepe myrtle tree. We discovered our love for bird watching and kayaking. Walking to the ocean beach was easy but on many days we were content to just cool-off in the bay. The sunsets were varied and watching them became a nightly ritual.

Bayfront Paradise

This property went above and beyond in meeting our expectations. My husband and I and our two sons and their wives spent a long weekend together. One family member needs accessible accommodations which can be a challenge when renting a vacation home. This particular property was 100% wheelchair accessible. A blessing for our family. The tranquil location on a calm bay provided a peaceful vibe. We also walked just 5 minutes across the main road and we had access to ocean beaches. The best of both worlds. The home has a huge screened in porch perfect to keep bugs at bay and an even larger deck beyond the porch which leads you to your own private bay front beach. The house provides lots of games, puzzles and kayaks to use. Tastefully decorated with original artwork, we were very comfortable both inside and outside. We rate this house a 10!

Best vacation home in Delaware you can find!

We had age ranges from 72-14 for a week at Bayberry and we all absolutely loved it! It was our first time staying bayside and I will never go back to staying on the ocean side. The house was a perfect for everyone, location was fabulous! It was so well decorated and taken care of. If you forgot something, it was there. It was quiet but close enough for the teenagers to walk to find excitement. We could walk to restaurants to eat or go get ice cream. I spent the week on the deck or with one of the beach chairs the owners provide with my feet in the bay. We kayaked, we rented paddle-boards. There was always something to do! And if that isn’t enough to make you want to book it, Carol is a GEM! You will never find a better host! We thought the umbrellas were broken, I think it was the operators but she had new ones to us the next day! She let us know when the gardeners would be there, made sure we made it to house and even checked in on us when we were home. Seriously, best host EVER! I hope we get a chance to book it again soon!

Best of both worlds

I am not a sit on the beach all day type of person like most of my family and friends, I do however love being in or on the water. This house provides both! I was able to laze in the bay on a raft while others sat in the sand on the ocean side a short walk away. We also used the kayaks and I brought my new SUP board and the bay was the perfect place to try it out. The outdoor areas are large and well furnished and wonderful for sunset viewing. The rooms and bathrooms were perfect for our group’s needs. I don’t know what we would have done without the two refrigerators! There are plenty of restaurants, bars, shops within walking distance and many more a short drive away. We especially loved the quiet street the house is on with no through car or pedestrian traffic, actually no traffic at all! The house is well appointed and clean. Carol was easy to contact and responsive. We would stay here again!

A personal paradise

This was more than we expected. A small semi-private beach with relatively shallow water 2 to 3 feet that was perfect for a 2 and 5 year old too safely swim in. I only left the property once in the week we were there to walk a short distance to the ocean side to watch the sunrise.

Enjoy the best of the Bay and the Beach!

We had a very relaxing stay at Bayberry Beach. The view of the bay was so serene and the expansive deck and comfy porch offered us many precious moments! The beach was only a 10-min walk (slow ;)) and water sports in the bay also only 10-min by foot. Plus, you are in the heart of Dewey beach so shops, the boardwalk, shopping are all really accessible. We had a great time. The only thing I missed - and it was totally my fault - was bringing towels and sheets or arranging locally! The owners are super responsive and easy to communicate with. The property has a fully outfitted kitchen and a ton of plates and glasses and cooking and server ware which was so appreciated. Beach towels were provided and plenty and there’s beach chairs and kayaks too! We didn’t even mind the rainy days with the porch and it’s swing chairs!! You can’t go wrong!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Spiker

Host profile image
My family is from Wilmington, Delaware, and I live in Philadelphia. I grew from a kid running barefoot, to a big kid sailing giant kites right off our own beach. I've explored every little bit of this area in every season, and it never fails to show you something new. The weather, wildlife, beauty and strength of nature is what I've fallen in love with, and hope you get a chance to experience it for yourself.

The house layout is perfect to rest and socialize at your own pace, spend time with loved ones, or run off into the wild. Properties like this are either too expensive to buy, or simply never sold. Come enjoy one of the best kept secrets at the beach, it's really that cool.

Why they chose this property

The family bought this property in 1987 as a summer getaway, with a passion for wind sports. It's one of the only places that you can launch sailboats, windsurfers, kitesurfing kites while the kids play on the beach.

What makes this property unique

There is no other place like it. One of the last remaining cottage houses, renovated without compromise, through the lens of two contemporary artists. It reflects the journey of one family who's tale is told in the many unique artworks, retrofitted carpentry, and eye for detail. The property reflects a vision that balances comfort, style and nature. Decompression is inevitable, and that itinerary you perfected will be the first to go.
