All the rates shown are quoted for up to four people with an additional charge of $60.00 per night per person for up to two additional.

PLEASE NOTE: This apartment will only sleep up to six people. OCCUPANCY IS STRICTLY ENFORCED. Sorry, I must post this due to a few reservations that understate how many guests there are and then just have them show up. I want to be sure everyone is aware of the rules. Having more guests than stated will result in you being asked to leave with no return of money paid and being charged for each additional person. Overoccupancy places us at risk of losing our rental license.

Failure to commence tenancy will result in the loss of any money paid and any balance will be due to the owner.

See the online agreement for complete details.

Our TVs are Firestick and Roku. We ask that you do not download any movies or apps that have a fee unless the fee is charged to your account. If you have Netflix, you may sign into your account to watch. Any charges that get billed to us will need to be reimbursed to us. NO EXCEPTIONS. There is always a notice informing you of any charges before you download.

In the event of power outages, loss of cable, internet, appliances, tv failure, or any offered amenity, there will be no reduction in rent. A technician will be called ASAP.

Also please note that VRBO now charges a service fee on top of our rates which will be added to the total. We have no control over those fees and do not receive any revenue from their fees.

Check-in time is 4:00 PM (NO EXCEPTIONS). Our cleaners have this window of time to get our apartments ready for the next guest. Late check-out after 10:30 am will result in the charge of an additional day. This extra time is needed to get everything done to ensure everything is ready for the next guest.

We offer a DOG-FRIENDLY ONLY apartment (sorry, no cats due to allergies, no birds, reptiles, snakes, monkeys, miniature ponies, pigs, etc) accommodations for approved dogs (pet fee of $40 per night/per dog applies)!!! Since VRBO will only calculate for one dog, a payment request will be sent for dogs. Dewey Beach is pet-friendly for dogs on the beach before 9:30 AM and after 5:30 PM during the summer season and any time after September 15th – May 15th. We are the ONLY beach town in Delaware that does allow dogs on the beach in summer. We will provide a copy of our pet rules. Dogs must have a Dewey Beach dog license which may be purchased at the town hall at 105 Rodney Ave., YOU MUST LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE BRINGING A DOG PRIOR TO COMING!! Showing up with a dog without notice will result in doubling the pet fee. Please note: our pet fee is per dog per day-night so if you are bringing more than one dog you will be invoiced for any dogs since VRBO doesn't have a way to select the number of dogs coming. No dogs are allowed on or in the property unless the fee is paid.

Now that Covid-19 is not as bad, our beds will again have mattress pads, pillows, and our beachy comforter sets. You will need to bring your own linens and towels as we do not supply them. if you don't wish to bring them, we can provide linens and towels for a fee.

You are accepting our rental agreement by reserving. Please read it over carefully. Your safety is our main concern, and every effort is being made to make your stay as comfortable and worry-free as possible. There are security cameras in place.

We do recommend that "Cancel for any reason trip insurance" be purchased in the event your reservation needs to be canceled because ensuring your vacation is your responsibility.

WHAT TO BRING: Dish Clothes, Dish Towels, paper products, trash bags, soap, bath towels, sheets, washcloths & toiletries. Please bring appropriately sized sheet sets. All the beds are queen size including the sleeper sofa.

CLEANING: We take pride in offering a very clean nonsmoking apartment and appreciate your care to make sure it stays that way.

We have cleaners come in after each guest leaves to make sure everything is ready for the next guest. You are expected to perform normal everyday cleaning, take out the trash, run the dishwasher, and put the clean dishes away. It is the responsibility of the GUESTS to make sure the apartment is left in the same condition as found. Additional cleaning will be charged additional fees.

WIRELESS INTERNET is provided by an outside company and is free of charge. While this service is provided it is not guaranteed and we are not responsible should it not be available or for any problems that may occur from its use. WIFI login information will be provided prior to check-in

Off-street parking is available for 2 vehicles, one behind the other in the spot marked B on the building. No more than two vehicles may park in front of the building. Parking passes are required in the season for any additional vehicles and they MUST park on the street. Passes may be obtained at townhall 105 Rodney Ave

Delaware— Dewey Beach

This is where vacationers go for days filled with lots of sun, nice weather, thrilling water adventures along ocean beaches, and nights filled with partying.

You will find plenty of nightlife with live music and lots of dancing.

Don’t miss the serene experience of watching sunset views of the bay and beautiful sunrises over the ocean.

Enjoy Monday Movie nights on the beach, and our bonfires on the beach on Wednesday nights weather permitting. Both of these events are free but donations are always appreciated. Grab a Jolly Trolley shuttle to Rehoboth Beach to stroll the boardwalk, and make the most of tax-free shopping at the Tanger Outlets.

No Reservation is confirmed until the OWNER receives confirmation of payment from VRBO.

There are no refunds for cancellation and "cancel for any reason trip insurance is recommended.

Please don't ask us to discount as we have a policy not to discount in fairness to our return guests and those who reserve early and pay the full rate and associated fees.

Our week runs from Saturday to Saturday during July and August and for Senior week but is more flexible the other months with a three-night minimum. We NEVER rent for just one night.
