Great Location!

Great house in walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The living areas are a good size, very comfortable. The house is clean. The additional kitchen on the second level was great for family that wakes up early (well before the rest of us) and starts the day with coffee. The completely fenced in courtyard was wonderful for the dogs. Communication with Ron was very good. He was very responsive. We all had such a good time and would love to stay there again.

Fabulous Stay

Our second time at the Cottage on Sussex was as wonderful and relaxing as our first. The home (and it feels like home) is wonderful and cozy and so well laid out. You can all gather together or head to your own quiet corner without any problems. The location is perfect. Just a short to the Main Street and the beach, but also so quiet and peaceful at the house. The owner Ron is fantastic. So attentive and accommodating! Can’t wait for next year!

Charming!

This house is absolutely charming and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, so we were able to cook and clean up with ease. A short walk to the shops on the Avenue and an easy walk up to the beach. Communication with the owner was easy. We had a delightful stay as did our dogs!

Ron is a wonderful host

House is large enough for the 8 of us, with room to move about. 3 blocks from Boardwalk, walking to restaurants, and only 1 block from Rehoboth Av. Parking for 3 cars plus 2 passes for always available street parking. Though everything was as it should be, it's nice knowing that Ron is always a text away to handle any minor (or, in the unlikely event of something bigger) issue. I highly recommend.
