(4 of 5 Stars) - Beth H. brThe house and surrounding landscape at Scarborough is absolutely beautiful. Our family of 17 fit perfectly with beds for everyone. Rich was very attentive from my first email upon inquiring about the property thru our stay at the house. We had a couple small issues during our stay & Rich handled them immediately. The pool was such a bonus that we found we had to force ourselves to head to the beach. It was a bit of a distance to the beach so plan on driving there especially if you have young children. br• Submitted: Oct 13, 2017 br• Stayed: July 2017 br• Source: VRBO, from HomeAway brbr**Great Family Vacation House (5 of 5 Stars) - Hap P. brMy wife and I had all 7 of our children and grandchildren at this house for a week-- a total of 18 people. It worked great. The home has enough bedrooms whereby each family had their own and the lower level could accomodate many of the children. The large dining table and bar stools allowed us all to enjoy dinner together. The backyard and pool area was great for gathering and having fun;even for chatting after the kids went to sleep. The house worked perfectly for a large family like ours. br• Submitted: Oct 2, 2017 br• Stayed: July 2017 br• Source: VRBO, from HomeAway brbr**Private Beach oasis (5 of 5 Stars) - anna c. brWe had a very comfortable family reunion celebrating my husbands milestone birthday! There were so many comfortable and quaint seating areas that everyone really enjoyed. The kitchen is very well stocked. All the bedrooms were used, so we had a houseful. Marcia and Rich were easy to rent from. We did drive to the beach to help manage chairs and umbrellas. Off season parking was easy.br• Submitted: Sep 12, 2017 br• Stayed: September 2017 br• Source: VRBO, from HomeAway brbr**Great house for a large group (5 of 5 Stars) - Brittany brWe stayed at this house for a long weekend in September for a family event. The inside is immaculate and comfortable, and very clean. It has a great open floor plan, perfect for entertaining. Our favorite part was the outdoor space. There is a large wrap around deck in the back that connects from the screened in porch to the dining room. There is plenty of seating, and we loved the lighting and landscaping. The pool was perfect, and the outdoor furniture is very nice. The location is in a neighborhood off the beach, but it's an easy walk to the beach. You can also walk to downtown Rehoboth and Dewey in about 20 minutes. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all updated with nice beds and lots of space. One thing to note, the fourth bedroom upstairs in the back of the house can only be accessed through the third bedroom, or through the bathroom of the master bedroom. Would be fine for families, but worth knowing. brThanks for a great stay, we loved it!br• Submitted: Sep 28, 2016 br• Stayed: September 2016 br• Source: VRBO, from HomeAway brbr**The perfect space for a big family. (5 of 5 Stars) - Eamonn T. brWe loved this house. The outdoor space is great for getting together and having fun. The basement apartment was really useful as well. We had a great time and if we go back to Rehoboth would book this place again. It was only a 14min walk to the beach through a quiet neighborhood, the walk was really great and most times takes less time than driving over to the beach and trying to find parking. br• Submitted: Sep 22, 2016 br• Stayed: September 2016 br• Source: HomeAway brbrWonderful Family Retreat (5 of 5 Stars) - Pat E. brThis is the second year we have rented this property and it won't be the last! Our family of three generations love the house with its large rooms and spacious porches. It is conveniently located for our teenagers to walk or ride their bikes to the boardwalk and beach. The house has a fully equipped kitchen which is surrounded by a very comfortable great room. It is well maintained, clean and very livable, providing spaces for privacy as well as for large gatherings. This year, because of the extreme heat, we had a problem with the air conditioning. The owners were right on it, and the problem was fixed with a minimum of inconvenience to us. We really appreciated the owners' attention and to make our vacation problem free. br• Submitted: Aug 29, 2016 br• Stayed: August 2016 br• Source: VRBO, from HomeAway brbr**Family Celebration (5 of 5 Stars) - Helen K. br8 couples got together for a family celebration. The house was perfect. Everything we needed for cooking a big dinner and plenty of room so we were not on top of each other. The weather was horrible, but that just meant we got to enjoy being in the house more! Rich was great to work with. Answered questions and had left great information at the house for us. You will need a car to get to downtown and the beach.br• Submitted: May 27, 2016 br• Stayed: May 2016 br• Source: VRBO, from HomeAway br
