Great bachelorette and friend vacation house!

Our group of 17 arrived at the Dodd house and were immediately greeted by Lynn and Dewey the cat, which was perfect. The house was spacious and easily slept our group. The layout allows for privacy when needed but also a wide open area for group time - especially the back yard bar & pool. We even hired a hibachi chef to perform in the back yard and it was perfect (host recommendation). Parking in Dewey can be difficult but Brian and Lynn kept an eye out for us & even helped us find overflow parking when needed. I admit I was a bit cautious when I read the owners live next door - but we never felt "watched" and they let us have our privacy. Check out instructions were typical and very reasonable. The location was easily walkable to the main attractions (incl. Starboard).

Great long weekend!

Stayed at Brian's place for my sister's bachelorette party. Everyone had a fantastic time and had great things to say about the space. The backyard was perfect for pool days and outdoor dinners. The kitchen and living room were good hang out areas, and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The house was clean and comfortable. I'd recommend Brian's place for any large group!

Fabulous, well-appointed property, great host!

We had a group of four families, 17 people in all, with 10 kids ranging in age from 2-13. This house was perfect for us. Everything in the house was clean, new, and well-maintained. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. We took advantage of the fire pit and the grill. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed in terms of cookware, spices, and coffee. There was even a margarita machine! The hosts live in a house attached to the property, and were exceptionally responsive to all our questions about how to turn on lights, operate the outdoor shower, etc. However, they were un-obtrusive and never interfered. Communications with the host were fast and responsive. In short, we loved this property and would absolutely come back again!

Amazing stay!

Can not say enough great things about this house/hosts! Upon arrival the hosts showed us around to ensure we had everything needed for our stay. They even were up every morning to fill up the pool for us which was so appreciated. We had a group of 17 and the house had plenty of room for all of us. The outdoor space in particular was our favorite and we spent most of our time by the pool. The parking situation was great and we didn’t have to worry about finding parking nearby. The house is in a great location to the beach and main strip. Overall can’t recommend this house enough!

Fun Family Reunion at Dodd House

We had a wonderful week at Dewey and enjoyed Dodd House very much. Having two separate living spaces was nice as the children often had quiet/play time in the one room and we could be in the other....or enjoying an adult only swim! Grandpa was very concerned about safety because of the pool and toddlers and we were thrilled to find high door chains on doors leading to the pool. One note of caution and not the owners fault, we had high temps for our stay and the stones around the pool got extremely hot. Having the pool was definitely a high light and it was a perfect size. Having the pool and still able to walk to the beach (10 min) was a big plus. At first we were concerned about crossing Rt 1 but that wasn't an issue. I had bought a pump for inflatables but from what I read there is one on the property. One of those small details I wish I had known. The entire family, including the baby, loved being in the water. Kitchen was well stocked with spices, pots, etc. and was so nice to have the second fridge! Owners were very nice and communicated quickly with any questions I had. I don't know what our plans are for next year but we would certainly return to Dodd House!

Book The Dodd House ASAP!!!

I held my bachelorette weekend at the Dodd House and it was an unforgettable weekend! The owners of the Dodd house are so kind and couldn’t have been more accommodating. We had around 15 girls stay at the house and there was more than enough room for everyone. The house is in a great location, very close to bars, restaurants, and the beach. We loved our stay and will hopefully be rebooking with them in the future!

Delaware Shore Family Vacation

Great choice for our extended family vacation. Between beach, shopping, DE bay cruise, boardwalk, water sports and more, we all had a great time. Plenty of room for our kids and grandkids. Pool and hot tub got a lot of use. Fully fenced in pool area and grass side yard made it easy to take our two dogs. Lynn and Brian were welcoming and attentive hosts.

My family, a group of 12 of us ranging in age from 1-75, all had a great time at the Dodd house. The location was perfect and quiet. Everyone enjoyed the pool and backyard. There was plenty of space for everyone throughout the house. The only hiccup was we were unable to unlock the door when we arrived, but the host responded immediately and let us in. Overall we all had a wonderful week at this property and made some great memories. Thank you.

Incredible guest house

We were a group of 17 returned Peace Corps volunteers needing a fairly large house. We chose Rehoboth Beach due to access of beach and hiking. We made a good decision to rent the Dodd House. Walking distance to the beach, plenty of bed space, a nice hot tub and fire pit for cooler evenings, enclosed patio with a small lawn area for our dogs, a well equipped kitchen, fast internet, and bluetooth stereo speaker in the outside area. Great hosts made for a very nice stay.

perfect place for bridal party wedding weekend!!

we had a large bridal party, mostly from out of state (the midwest) and i really wanted us to all be able to stay in one place close to the beach and bars for the long weekend and this was absolutely INCREDIBLE. although the owner lives on site it was never weird or an issue so don’t feel deterred (we still partied, stayed up late and had a great time without ever feeling weird or being reprimanded) it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the starboard which was great, the pool/hot tub backyard area was where we spent the majority of our time the bar in the back is awesome with a fridge out there. the kitchen has dishes and the small things you’ll need to cook meals which was awesome. overall it was an outstanding experience for myself as the bride as well as all of our bridal party. this place is literally a compound, we had all the girls in a wing of the house and the guys in the other it was perfect

We had my sister's bachelorette party here and it was a blast! The house was absolutely perfect! It was exactly as listed, plenty of space for 12 girls. The neighborhood was quiet and the walk to bars, restaurants, and the beach was short. Lynn was incredible!!!

Host profile image
We have been renting this property for 8 years now. We have had 100% satisfaction. We pride ourselves on responsiveness and service. This home is very unique and it is safe to say that there is no other property like it in the area at this price.

21066 Dodd Avenue is a family home going back three generations and we take great pride in its maintenance and care. We are local to Delaware and have strong ties to the beach area.

Why they chose this property

Suitable for multiple families and working professionals. This property is perfect for vacations, yoga/business retreats, as well as housing sports teams for out of town tournaments. The heated pool and hot tub provide protection for not so great weather weeks. The back patio area is resort-like and was made for entertaining. Each bedroom has a TV and with three living rooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out. With walking distances to beach, trolley and restaurants, and parking for eight, there is nothing that can compare in this price range.

What makes this property unique

With parking for 6-8 cars, the private pool/hot tub/fire pit area, and our walking distance the beach, you are guaranteed an awesome vacation and plenty of room for your group to hang out and enjoy the area.
