An amazing family home and generous hosts
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wyomissing. The location is perfect—close to the beach and all the amenities you could need. The home itself was sparkling clean and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay. What truly stood out was our host’s generousity with flexible check-in and check-out times. It’s this kind of hospitality that sets exceptional hosts apart! Thank you so much for welcoming our family into your grandparents’ beloved home. We’d love to return for another stay soon—it’s the kind of holiday home you dream of coming back to!

We received our final instruction for the house with the information about the location of the key safe. Unfortunately no code to access the key safe. We tried to contact the owners but couldn’t unless we set up a google account which I would not do. After a few hours of frustration we finally got through to the help desk which was very helpful. He sent us the code with the exact same email we received but it also included the key code which ours didn’t. All this stress occurred the day before we were to arrive a very stressful start to our holiday.We tried to use the baroque but it kept blowing our.

Third time stay and still love it.
We've been here a frw times now and just love the place. A short walk from the beach and Rye shops. A short drive to the hot springs. And just a really lovely old school beach house. Perfect big back yard for dogs too. Will be back again I'm sure.

Great stay at classic Rye beach house
My kids & I enjoyed a great stay at this classic beach house. It reminded me of my Grandparent’s former beach house located nearby. Kids loved the large front & backyard. Great location - walk to beach, near shops & quiet neighbourhood. Great communication from owners. Hopefully a bit more sunshine when we next visit!

Happy memories at Wyomissing
Wyomissing had everything we needed for our two night stay in Rye. It was so handy to everything and we're really grateful that we could take our dog too! Comfy beds, great set up and a beautiful dose of nostalgia stemming from the decor. Thanks for sharing this lovely patch of paradise!

Peaceful stay
We loved the quiet surroundings of the property. Everything we needed was at hand, close to shops and main road, but away from it all, which was a priority for us. The property caters well for families and pets. We will definitely return.

Great location
The property was a lot more retro than it looked in the photos but had everything we needed for a weekend stay. It's a great location, close to everything. The host has thoughtfully provided a few cooking and toiletry basics which were appreciated. It felt like staying in someone's family beach house and it was nice to learn a bit about the history of the house and family

Wyomissing is in an excellent Rye location, walking distance to dog-friendly beach & shops, & is exactly as described - great old-fashioned beach-house with 3 bedrooms & 1 bathroom in main house, laundry & 2nd bathroom in adjacent playroom.

Wyo-missing is my idea of a beach holiday abode - fabulous location minutes stroll to the front beach, supermarket and amenities. Super comfy lodge -quirky yet interesting and a gorgeous large back yard and dog dfriendly/enclosed. Smooth communication with Rueben was the icing on the cake. Hope to visit again soon.

Wyomissing retains much of the original charm and an eclectic mix of features of years gone by plus some modern touches.

What makes this property unique

Wyomissing is in a quiet area and short walk to a safe bay BEACH but still within walking distance of the Rye town proper.
