A classic beach house updated without losing its soul. Two short blocks from the beach on New Orleans Street in the heart of Dewey Beach.

The best features, in the owner's opinion, are the screened front porch and the kitchen. You get ocean and bay breezes...and the mosquitoes don't bother you while you're cocktailing. French doors open from the kitchen and dining areas onto the screened porch, thereby bringing the outdoors in. The kitchen is big and modern and fully equipped. Greatfor entertaining.

This isn’t a rental full of cheap furnishings. The owner's philosophy is to provide a nice place and expect people to take care of it. This means no party groups, especially graduation parties (college or high school). The neighbors will call the cops. Violation of this house rule is ground for immediate eviction with no refund.

Please note: Owner doesn't provide bed sheets or bath towels for this rental. Each bed comes with a clean mattress pad, pillows and bedspread. Owner can provide info on how you can rent them and have them delivered.

Please note: Check-in is 3pm and Check-out is 10am. These times provide sufficient time to clean/turn over the house and ensure everything is ready for guests.

Please note: Off street driveway parking is available for 3-4 car, depending on size. On street parking in Dewey Beach is tough during weekends and is by meter/app or parking pass (can be purchased at Dewey Beach town hall).

    Wonderful gem of a property. Older home, but decorated in charming fashion. Lots of areas to get cozy with family. Best porch in Dewey, hands-down. Shielded almost completely from the street by bushes, can sit outside on porch enjoying the weather and ambience while out of view of people walking by. Only noticed street noise Friday night- party goers walking by, and didn't disturb out slumber. Could walk to the beach or several restaurants right at the end of the street. Both Atlantic and Bay beach areas within walking distance- Atlantic is best, and so close! Rehobeth is about 1-2 miles, could probably walk to boardwalk if wanted to and when my daughter ran she ran down there from the house. Just a few miles from shopping. Can get Dewey T-shirts and the like right at the end of the block! Would definitely get this house again. There are beach chairs there to use, and a few kids sand toys. Some board games and books in the house. Everything you need to have a great vacation is there. Oh- and decent water pressure in the shower.

    This place is a hidden gem if you're looking for a nice place to stay. The living room, dining room, and kitchen were extremely nice and comfortable.

    Our family enjoyed our stay at the Porch House. The owner was easy to contact and helpful. The house is located in a fantastic location, a short walk to the beach and restaurants. We had a lovely time!

    The house is neat. The first floor is open with the exception of one bedroom. That room was great for the grandparents - no stairs to climb. The front porch was the place to congregate. It is concealed from the road by a hedge. Has plenty of seats and tables.

    We had a lovely family vacation in this beautiful home. The interior of the house is exactly as pictured- clean, comfortable, brightly lit. There's one bedroom on the first floor, and four bedrooms on the second floor (double bed, and three rooms with twin beds). Note that one of the twin bed rooms is only accessible through another bedroom or through a bathroom. The house is very convenient to a main street, and walkable to restaurants, bars, and 2 blocks from the ocean. It can get a little loud out night with rowdy neighbors, but otherwise it was a perfect stay!

    We have nine ladies staying over a weekend to celebrate a milestone birthday, and we all thoroughly LOVED this home! Beautifully furnished; very open floor plan on main level; LOVED the screened in porch; well equipped kitchen with LOADS of pots and pans, cutting boards, knives, serving utensils, etc. - you won't need to bring anything. Large driveway easily accommodated four cars. Only wish (1) the bathrooms had hooks or bar for hand towels by the sinks, (2) main level bath medicine cabinet so high some of the shorter ladies (5'3) couldn't even see the top of their head in the mirror (lol) and (3) a full length mirror or two somewhere in the house. Other than that, a wonderfully, relaxing and enjoyable home, which we all plan to try and rent again this fall! :)

    Two straight years staying here and will be booking again. Within walking distance of the beach and the best food/drink spot, Dewey Beer Co. Attentive property owner. Clean home. Comfortable beds. GREAT porch. What more could you ask for!

    Traffic on rte 1 was terrible on our approach to dewey. Property was very well equipped - a little cluttered. We walked to the beach and enjoyed our stay. Could have been a little cleaner and there was an occasional odor outside..we saw a cat go under the house - not sure if it was from this.
