Wonderful Stay at the Rehoboth Guest House

Reviewed By 713Disney

Just came back from an overnight stay to celebrate a belated birthday. It was our first time staying here but not our first time in Rehoboth Beach. We would like to start out by saying thanks to Tom for his welcoming hospitality. The inn is furnished nicely. We had a very nice cozy clean room with comfortable bed. Really appreciated in how they handle covid by providing sanitizer and other products to keep you safe. Nice to know they go out of their way to protect their guests. They even provide a free way to sanitize your cell phone. We had a very nice quiet hot breakfast in which you fill out a form upon check in which you provide them with choices that you make including which time you prefer. Restaurants,shops, and beach only a few steps away. Would not hesitate to stay here again when returning to Rehoboth. Thanks! Sandy & Howard East Norriton PA.

What an experience!

Reviewed By F5765SJec

I am giving it a 1 rating because the staff at the front desk were very nice. They were open to giving us anything we requested--towels, face cloths, paper towels, e.t.c. We did not use housekeeping at all in the 5 days we were there (pandemic and all). There was no Wi-Fi!!! When I asked about if, the front staff gave me some excuse about the lockdown in 2020. Our fridge was completely rusted on one side...the counters looked like they had been burned. Paint was peeling in the bathroom. The ceiling in the bathroom looked like it was going to collapse. The paint and drywall looked like it was coming apart. In our rooms, there were red drips coming down the wall which my kids nicknamed "blood." The shower handle seemed broken. This hotel is not spending any money at all in upkeep and refurbishing. Everything seemed like it was falling apart. Every time someone walked or ran in the room above us, we heard and felt it. My husband called the front office on several nights. At some point, he resorted to banging at the ceiling to get them to stop. Breakfast was the worst! Cheerios in ziplock bags, tiny muffins and slices of bread in ziplock bags. Who knows what hands touched them? We did not eat breakfast the whole time we were there. It looked like we were in a Preparatory disaster zone. Our last day there, I couldn't wait to leave. I was showered, dressed, and packed hours before our departure time.

Adults only… i like kids but it was so quiet & nice. Dog friendly, we have a husky & he loved the back yard of The Cottage. It was perfect for us. The night before you get a text of the breakfast menu. Joe actually delivered our breakfast since we were staying in the cottage. My favorite was the pool. It was nice & refreshing. They also have a lighted bocci court. Only a few miles from downtown Rehoboth. It was a win-win for us. Can’t wait to go back.

Canalside Inn provided a lovely stay. All the extra amenities made it a memorable place you want to come back every year. The treatment of our dog was like one of the family with floor pillow, blankets & dish. The staff is there if you need them and are so nice and helpful.

Reviewed By njidekaw2022

I'm in love!!! The Lazy L @ Willow Creek has captured my heart. I hated to leave and can't wait to return-- already checking their availability to see when I can be "willowed" again. Visited Memorial Day weekend, as a participant in an intimate writer's retreat. The Lazy L is a magical place, complete with two magical spirits - "Meta" & "Christine" as its innkeepers. Their ethereal charms, and sublime meal offerings compete equally with the beguiling beauty of this hidden Lewes beach gem. My furbaby, Lola also reveled in the peaceful joy offered here. We hope to return very, very soon!

Everything about our stay at the Causey Mansion and Bed & Breakfast was spot on. Jan & Joey were the perfect hosts and we loved our spacious well appointed room. The Mansion is filled with beautiful art work and collectibles and the outside grounds were extensive- gardens, fountains, pathways and sculptures abound. It was the perfect place to stroll or just sit and drink your morning coffee. Breakfast was a treat too with generous portions and well presented. The town is very walkable with nearby restaurants, shops, museums and even a river walk! We liked our stay so much, we made upcoming reservations for another visit!
