Travel tips

Plan to drive: major nearby points of interest (Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, Funland, and multiple state parks) are several miles away. If pool time matters, note the outdoor pool is seasonal, so confirm availability for your dates. Ask ahead about any minimum-stay rules, especially during peak beach-season periods.

What guests say

Guests frequently mention friendly, kind staff and good value for the price. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: some describe rooms as fairly clean, while others note issues such as bugs and musty or damp conditions. Multiple comments point to the property feeling outdated, with wear-and-tear in room furnishings and bathroom condition. Location is often treated as convenient for reaching Rehoboth-area attractions by car, and the pool is noted as a positive feature even when guests don’t have time to use it.
