Classic Beach House with Modern Comforts, Just One Block from the 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!

Memorial Day weekend getaway

We had an excellent time in Rehobeth. Our kids are teenagers, so they loved the easy access to the beach, boardwalk, and into town. My husband and I loved the vibe. Great community. We found ourselves riding our bikes to Cape Henlopen, Kayaking in the bay- large bird sanctuary. The house had plenty of room for all of us. It is updated with modern amenities, but still has its original charm. Reminded us a lot of the cabin we have in the family up at Newfound Lake, NH. Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us.

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.

Great House in PERFECT Location!!

We absolutely adored this house!! The house is so charming and has really nice updates to the bathrooms and kitchen. The outdoor shower was a highlight! The front screened in porch is great for morning coffee and people watching without the bother of mosquitos. The walk to the beach and downtown was less than 5 mins and easily walkable for both the kids and elderly. The house was well stocked with the basics and linens/bath towels. The property manager was friendly, attentive and quick to reply.

Comfy house in a great location

This is a great beach house! The owners had all the basic necessities like dishwasher tabs, sugar and toilet paper, so grocery shopping at the beginning of the week wasn’t as bad. Check-in and Check-out was a breeze. The house has a great screened in porch and the tall trees and landscaping kept it noticeably cooler. The location is great- just a bit more than a block to the beach and several blocks south of Rehoboth Ave allows for an easy walk to shops and restaurants but a less-crowded beach at the Stockley Street beach access. We had a great time and will keep this one on the list.

Beach cottage - 1 1/2 blocks from beach

We booked a last minute Labor Day vacation and were thrilled to stay in this beautiful beach cottage only 1 1/2 blocks from the beach and boardwalk. We loved how comfortable the home and how equipped kitchen was. Like many rentals you have to bring your linens which is not convenient. There isn’t much of a yard but enjoyed the outside shower and screened in front porch. It is an old home and is noisy but who cares when you can be so close to the beach.

I can't imagine a better beach house than this one! It has all the options - quick walk to the fantastic beach and boardwalk, or you can stay in and read in comfort. All the little touches are there in the house and it has such a good vibe. Wonderful place and experience.

Historic Home in Long Needle Pines One Block from Rehoboth Beach

This was a lovely historic home set in a grove of long needle pines with nice renovations preserving the ambiance of the home. In addition, the location couldn't have been better--just a block from the beach and a short walk to downtown activities. Just a couple of quirks: you bring your own sheets and towels and no soap in the bathrooms; however, the hosts left wine so you don't have to worry! Wonderful Stay!

Great location

Location of this cute house was amazing! Great screened in porch, large living room, outdoor shower for rinsing sand and also washer/dryer a plus. Property owner/ manager was accommodating and quick to reply to messages! Bedrooms and kitchens were rather small in this house (looked roomier in pictures online) , but it's cute charm/ character outweighed the smaller sized rooms. Overall, very nice stay!

Great return to Rehoboth

We booked this property to relive some childhood memories of coming to Rehoboth, and were thrilled that it exceeded our expectations. The house is kept immaculately, is comfortable, absorbed our 3 kids very well, and gave us the quintessential, nostalgic Rehoboth experience we were chasing. The property is a close block-plus walk to the beach, and nearly as close to Rehoboth Ave. The screened-in porch was a favorite spot in the early mornings and late afternoons/evenings. The history to the house gave it a real charm. The beds were comfortable, the space felt roomy, and our occasional run-ins with owner Barry (we sought him out) were lovely. We will be back.
