At first the building appeared to look like an apartment, but from the inside, there's a view across the cove of Rehoboth Bay. All the basic amenities were a available, helpful staff too. Great location, a short walk from Coastal Hwy.

I loved the fact it was a motel for dogs, and the people were invited, everything was so animal, friendly and walking spots with bags provided or a game changer.. The staff is so friendly. Negative the kitchen could be stocked better, paper towels there were no washcloths , there is a two burner stove, but nothing to cook with I will be back and bring more people with dogs, hands-down the experience has been wonderful

Good location, allowed pets, no problems. This was there 3rd year there and they have made improvements. Can't beat the price during the season. AC was very noisy but discovered the room would stay comfortable if turned off for the night. We will stay there again.

The view on the bayside side was breathtaking, we felt like we were on an island. Very accommodating for our dog! The staff was great, our room was very clean with a very comfortable bed. The property could use be a bit more appealing. The grass could have been cut ( as well as the mushrooms growing in the grass) the halls needed blown from debris . Maybe with some updating, with the view and location it could be one of the best hotels in Dewey!!!!!

I booked this property specifically because it mentions kayaks as an amenity. I might have missed something in the description because once I got to the hotel they said the kayak is a different entity and there are fees ($35 per person per hour I believe). Rooms were ok, slight damp smell in the rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful though. Location is good.
