Classic Beach House One Block from Boardwalk

The Messner House – A charming 1930s beach home built by our Great Grandfather in 1935, located on a peaceful street just a little over a block from the ocean and boardwalk on the south side of town. Nestled on Stockley Street, the street is quiet and neighboring properties are not rented, ensuring a serene atmosphere.

This beautifully maintained home offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, blending the timeless appeal of a traditional beach house with modern upgrades.

Bedrooms & Amenities:
Each of the four comfortable bedrooms is furnished with a queen bed, cozy quilts, quality linens, and bath towels. Smart TVs are provided in every room, and the house is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi throughout.

Kitchen, Dining & Family Room:
The fully updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances and all the essentials needed for preparing meals. The adjoining family room boasts a cathedral ceiling and a large dining table, perfect for family meals or enjoying a game of cards together.

Bathrooms:
The three recently renovated bathrooms include stylish tile showers with multiple showerhead options and heated floors for extra comfort. The unique Jack and Jill design of the upstairs bathrooms includes two half-bathrooms, each attached to a bedroom and sharing a spacious central shower.

Outdoor Space & Extras:
Relax on the inviting front porch, a perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach. At the back of the house, you'll find the laundry room with washer and dryer located beneath the garage apartment (which is occasionally used by family but is not rented).

The large outdoor shower, tucked under a canopy of climbing hydrangea, is an absolute oasis. With a rain shower head , it’s one of the best outdoor showers.

Location:
Just a short 10-minute walk to shops, restaurants, and entertainment, and only a little over a block to the beach and boardwalk. Enjoy easy, street parking with two parking permits provided, plus space for one car in the driveway. Fourth car can be parked parallel at the end of the driveway.

Pet-Friendly:
We welcome well-behaved dogs and would be happy to discuss how we can accommodate your pet during your stay.

Feel free to reach out with any questions—we’d love to host you at The Messner House!

Fantastic Rehoboth Beach Stay

Stunning character cottage with all the comforts of home. Ideal location just a block from the beach - close enough to run down for a swim, far enough to avoid the beach trippers. Owners were responsive and easy to communicate with. Perfect stay - we'll be back!

Wonderful experience staying at the Messner House. The location is excellent-- just a block away from the boardwalk and walking distance to Rehoboth's restaurant, retail, and entertainment options.The house is clean and is equipped with the essentials. We appreciated the welcome book covering the details we needed to know, along with recommendations for the local area. The hosts were prompt in responding. Would recommend and stay here again!

Great location, short walk to the beach. Plenty of space to gather for meals, family board games. We had a barbecue for Father’s Day, and my chef husband was pleasantly surprised with all the tools available in the kitchen and grill, and nicely organized. Host shared tips for dog friendly spots to explore. We also appreciated that available for a long weekend, since many rentals only offer week stays during the summer.

Nice stay in great location

We spent a lovely week at this perfectly located house with our family, including our 2 small dogs. We had everything we needed (they even provide linens!) and could walk to everything. The stairs were a little dicey for small kids (and tall adults), but it’s an older house,so the funky layout is part of the charm. The host was very responsive and reached out ahead of time with helpful information.
