Quaint Beach Block Cottage, 100 steps to the beach

A's by the Beach, a popular all-season vacation rental, is the most charming beach cottage in the north end of Dewey Beach, nested in the quiet Carolina St. Located on the ocean block, the home is only 100 steps from the most beautiful beach of the East Coast. Situated between Rehoboth and Dewey downtowns and a quick walk to either town, its restaurants, bars & shops.
The home is spaciously laid out to accommodate up to 6 adults & 4 children or a maximum of 8 adults & 4 cars off street

The single story home features a living area that runs the width of the house surrounded on three sides by windows that bring in lots of light and the sound of the majestic Atlantic. The home boasts a very large and fully equipped kitchen, spacious separate dining room, three bedrooms and 2 full baths. There are 2 queen rooms, a large bunk room with two bunk beds (each is a twin over full) and two day beds that double as sitting areas (one in the living area and one on the screen porch). There is also a queen size sleeper sofa in the living area. The large screened porch is an extension of the living area and a must to enjoy the fabulous ocean breeze and the sound of the surf. It features a bar table, chairs along with a comfy seating for lounging after a day at the beach.

The spacious backyard offers an enclosed but open-to-the-sky outside shower, a gas grill and an outdoor dining table on the lovely private lawn.

Although you don't need to leave A's by the Beach, the restaurants and nightlife of downtown Dewey Beach are just a short walk on the south side. The Jolly trolley at the end of the street takes you north and is just two blocks from Rehoboth's sparkling Silver Lake and a very short ride to all the shops, restaurants and nightlife of Rehoboth. If you prefer walking, it is a scenic 15 minute walk or you can catch the beginning of the boardwalk through the beach.

Conveniently located on the north end of Dewey Beach and off route 1, A's by the Beach is nested in the quiet Carolina St.

Carolina St has a beach access and the home is 100 steps away from it.

Fantastic beach house!
Location, location, location! Steps away from the beach without any busy roads to cross, this house was perfect! Our dogs stayed cool on the screened in porch while we played on the beach. Kitchen was fully stocked and backyard grill was perfect for easy dinners. Communication with hosts was easy, and the hosts were very responsive to a minor issue on checkin with resolution within 10 minutes! Definitely will stay here again!

I spent the weekend at this property on two separate occasions. It has many fine qualities including the basics that are expected - fully equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms, nice layout, etc. However, there are three other amenities that are understated: 1) The location of the property is amazing. It's a half mile walk via the beach to the Rehoboth Boardwalk. I took that walk and then jogged the boardwalk each morning. By way of the road, it's a nice walk (extremely wide berm) and then through the quaint neighborhoods - so either way works for a nice walk. The other direction takes you to the cute little town of Dewey beach. 2). The forgotten mile of beach between Rehoboth and Dewey provides a stretch of unpopulated beach that puts in mind of being further away from Rehoboth and Dewey - very peaceful. 3). The back yard is amazing for both pets and grilling. Very private, conveniently accessed (unlike many beach access properties). It's another way to enjoy time as a family. While I grilled, the pups and kids play and my husband sat at the table so we could talk. An extra backup tank of propane warmed my heart (lol). I often grill for my family. This little cottage offers a ton of convenience and it's amazing location makes it a must-do for us next year! Enjoy!

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I stayed in this house for a weekend getaway. We were visiting friends that had moved to Lewes Delaware. Initially, when booking this trip the dog friendly house caught my attention, as we were going to be traveling with our yorkie. We are campers and our yorkie goes everywhere with us. However, the night before my son came home and watched our yorkie. So it ended up being just my husband and I. So dog friendly home. Very clean and neat! Extremely close to the beach, which we didn’t get a chance to do. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who wanted to be close to the beach or just visit friends like we did. Everything, we could have needed was there. Beautiful screened in porch and yard, we didn’t use, but it’s there and we could’ve.

Perfect spot to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. Easy access to the beach (as well as getting onto the beach) and so close to downtown Rehoboth. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. Easy communication with our hosts and they responded quickly. Our pups had a great time on the screened in porch and in the yard. I'd love to come back when its not winter! A+

Nice beach cottage just steps from the beach
This is a cute beach cottage just steps from the path to the beach with a nice screened porch and backyard ideal for kids and pets. It's a short drive to many restaurants in Lewes and Rehoboth as well as to John Waples playground. The arrival information sent information was not entirely current (unfortunately the nearby local market is no longer open.) We've stayed at countless vacation rentals and never have had to make up the beds ourselves (versus stripping beds when leaving, which we always do). Beds already made is preferable as we arrived with children then had to put sheets on all the beds ourselves. We realized an hour after checking out that we'd left something of our daughter's in the fridge and contacted the owners to inquire how we could retrieve it, they initially responded they'd check with the cleaners then never followed up, which was disappointing.

The location of A's by the Beach is perfect. It is just steps to the beach with a wonderful matted pathway thru the brush which opens to a beautiful beach area. We had our dogs and my granddaughter with us and the home was very comfortable for hanging out and playing games. The porch and backyard are super. The yard is just big enough and nicely enclosed.

Location is great but owners should have provided sheets and comforters
Excellent location! We were able to enjoy the sunrise/sunset at the beach, and campfire at the beach because of the proximity to the beach. We were there during Labor day weekend therefore it was super expensive. My only complaint was that the owner did not provide blankets and sheets. We had to carry our sheets, blankets, and beach towels (which was somewhat inconvenient). Other than that, the property was small but good for 2 small families.

Fantastic Beach Week
The “blue” house was a great home for our week at the beach. It was the perfect location for our young family as it made beach days really convenient. No need to worry if we forgot anything or had to head back for nap time. Our young sons loved the bunk bed room! The screened in porch was an added bonus room for playtime and relaxing. We loved the private outdoor shower and having a washer and dryer on site. The beds were all very comfortable as well. We could easily head out and walk to Downtown Dewey in minutes. The Jolly Trolley also picks up around the corner making trips into Rehoboth super easy as well. Plenty of room for parking at the house too. The only down side was a lack in storage space for extra food as there was no pantry. An oversight on our end was that we forgot to pack bed linens! However we notified the owners and they very quickly got us in touch with a local rental company who accommodated us within an hour! Overall we loved our stay! Would highly recommend.
