Gut: Check-in, Kommunikation und Lage
Great location, but that's about it
The house is within a short walking distance to the beach and to everything around the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. There are lots of options for eating, shopping, and entertainment all within walking distance. Check-in was easy; the owner lives next door and we just arrived, knocked and picked up the keys. Communication with the property manager was very easy and she was very responsive.
As for the house itself, except for the windows and the WIFI, nothing seems to have been updated in 50 years. Spiders and cobwebs are evident throughout the house, especially the lower level. There is nowhere to sit or relax outside; the only table and chairs in the back yard are covered in green pollen or algae and would have taken more effort than we wished to expend to clean them up. Huge magnolias shade the back yard (and dead leaves cover the ground) but if you have your own lawn chairs it could be pleasant.
The air-conditioning was not working when we arrived (mid-June with a high of about 80 degrees F) but was finally repaired by late afternoon on the second day. The lower and mid/main levels were cooled well but we could not get the upper level, with four bedrooms, to a comfortably cool level for sleeping.
We ate out for most meals, so we did not make much use of the kitchen except to use the coffee pot, microwave and refrigerator. Make sure you read the property description; you must bring all of your own linens (bed, bath, and kitchen) or rent them. Some reviewers missed this.
