The house was nice and clean. The host was easily reachable and very friendly. At the end of the driveway, I could see the sun rising on the beach. Very cute cottage, we took our dog and had a wonderful time. We would definitely rent from Melanie again and recommend her as a host.

Cute little beach house 100 steps from the beach! Having the beach be such a short walk was so great. Made it so easy to carry stuff and go back and forth as needed. The house itself was great - clean and comfortable. Would definitely return!
Cute little front yard where we enjoyed breakfast and coffee.

We loved our stay here - great location (half block from the beach) with parking included, a nice front patio area with a grill and a clean and comfortable place to relax at after a day at the beach. Also so grateful it was dog-friendly!

Wonderful stay

We have a wonderful stay at Melanie’s cottage. It was a short walk to the beach and it had everything we needed for our stay. It was super cozy and we loved that we could bring our dog. He had a blast at the beach and loved the small front yard. We are already planning our trip to Dewey for next year and we hope to stay here!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Four Houses. The place was very clean, and location is perfect for enjoying Dewey Beach. We enjoyed the front deck and how it was set back from the street. The mini garden adds a nice touch to the location. Melanie was very kind and prompt in responding to our questions. Overall, a relaxing long weekend - we will definitely return - hopefully soon!

Perfect spot for beach lovers!

This cute, clean cottage had all the amenities needed for a great beach vacation! The outside deck was great for morning coffee and an evening cocktail! And the neighbors were lovely also! Parking was never an issue. The walk to the beach and restaurants was so convenient! Our family of 3 would definitely stay here again! Melanie was a wonderful hostess!!
