Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sussex County

We really loved our stay, so much so that we're already talking about returning next year! The owners were super communicative and helpful, the place was perfect for our family of four, the location across from a great pool and tennis courts could not be beat, parking was easy, and everything was clean and clearly marked. The loft was perfect for my 7yo, and my 3yo has probably never slept better. The washer/dryer were great and came in really handy, and having two bathtubs was really great for bathing two kids at once. The two different porches are a really lovely touch, and all the beds were comfortable and bath towels plentiful. Truly can't say enough good about it!

Our stay was great. The property isn’t actually on the canal or lake area. This didn’t bother us, just an fyi. Great private beach and lots of pools to choose from connected to the sea colony community where the property is located.

My family and I had a beautiful stay. This was our first experience with Airbnb and was a great one. Annie provided detailed information needed for our stay. The place was clean and the clubhouse was perfect for what we needed. She also provided food recommendations which was awesome!

Sea Colony is a beautiful resort in Bethany Beach. We were looking for a beach experience, so we didn't participate in the various activities - tennis! There is a fee of $55 per person on top of the AirBnB fee but there is much to offer for this fee. It is due when you check in. The unit has a balcony with a view of the beach. The bath has a tub which needs a bath mat to avoid slipping. Since the weather was perfect we didn't spend much time in the unit. Be sure to bring towels, wash cloths and linens. Kitchen has both K-cup and drip coffee makers.

Don was a great host. From the moment I arrived my dog Dizzie and I felt like valued guests. Don provided some great recommendations for things to do locally, and was always available if anything came up. The space was very clean and I could tell Don put a lot of effort into creating and maintaining it.

We have stayed here many times & wouldn't consider any place else. The home is very well furnished. The kitchen is very well supplied. It is minutes from Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, and Delaware State Parks and provides a very large swimming pool + hot tub. And you can't beat it for privacy which is very important to our large family. I'd give then place more stars if they were available.

This property will exceed your expectations! Not only was it super clean, it looked even better than the photos! It's a very spacious property and the neighborhood is VERY peaceful. If you want to take a quiet stroll outside, this is the place to do so. The home is BEAUTIFUL! Decorated very well and it is equipped with everything you need. The clubhouse that you have access to (if you choose to purchase the pass) is lovely as well. The weather only permitted us to do indoor activities which was fine because the indoor pool is huge so we and our kids enjoyed it two days in a row. We got takeout pizza from the local Fox Pizza and it was AMAZING! There is a Dunkin right up the road too that I was very happy about (I'm a Dunkin girl😂). But anyway, I have NOTHING bad to say about our stay. A beautiful and very clean home. Both families said we would definitely come back to this exact property without a doubt!

The location in Bayside is very convenient to activities. The townhouse was very clean and Jeffrey was a responsive and helpful host.

It was larger than we needed, but so perfect in all other ways, we could not resist. So close to the ocean, elevator, etc. Balconies off most bedrooms! Could not view the ocean, but it was such a short walk! Heat and AC both available, and needed each at the time of year visiting. Cozy fireplace. Fully stocked kitchen with all necessary appliances. Really, we could go on. Our few guests adored it also. Even had absolutely all beach needs. We are elderly and all was appropriate, except low toilets, but undoubtedly could 'make do'. Was unsure what to do with spare key on exit, but left under mat as Paul was going to do on arrival. Paul met us on arrival, which was a most pleasant surprise! Definitely 5 star!

No words to describe this beautiful home, peaceful surroundings, great location. We like privacy when we travel and we had that and more at Liz’s home. She was a pleasure to deal with and gave us recommendations for things to do, places to eat. Watching the deer each night in the yard made my 94 year old mother very happy. The house was perfect for her and my pup was very comfortable as well. Who provides couch covers for pets? Greatly appreciated and not something you see very often when renting. Lewis is a beautiful town and Liz was right when recommending October as a perfect month to visit. We were experiencing some family medical issues and coming back to the house each day gave us a sense of calm and peace. Hope to visit again next fall.

We truly enjoyed our stay! Views of the water and walk ability to restaurants and shops as well as the beach was awesome for our winter weekend getaway! Highly recommend!!

A peaceful stay for visiting and recovering from the busy nearby towns. We stayed for a fall weekend getaway and Zully's listing was perfect for us. My partner and I enjoyed the privacy and quiet nature of the property. It was a well needed contrast to the busy restaurants, beaches, and park we visited, which were only a 20-minute drive away. It was our dog's first Airbnb stay, and she loved it even more than us. The property has a very large yard with ample walking space. There are also well cared for chickens on the property, which our dog loved watching through the window.

We loved staying in this little cottage! I truly appreciated the coffee and tea selection and the other numerous amenities. It was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We hope to stay again!

This is a cute place that is right on the bay so you can enjoy beautiful water views yet it’s an easy walk to the beach. The unit is nicely furnished. The shower with multiple jets was great. We appreciated being able to bring our small dog. We also appreciate the welcome bottle of wine!

My wife, two sons (19 yrs, 17 yrs), miniature poodle, and I enjoyed a peaceful off-season visit here in late December 2024. This house has a nice location just a few blocks from the bayside beach and lovely interior that feels like you're at home. First, the enclosed porch was superbly decorated. Second, the open layout of the spacious kitchen and living room is wonderful. Third, you can walk to the bayside (a few blocks) or conveniently access a biking/jogging trail with a short walk to American Legion St. and finding the "hidden entrance" on the left side right after the American Legion building. In the off-season, we liked taking our dog to the beach every morning. Would definitely return for a future off-season visit!

My family and I had a great time at David and Erin’s home. The location and amenities could not have been more perfect for both my wife and I and two young children as well as my mom. All amenities within the development were walkable for all. A huge added bonus was having a trolley stop within the development which was a huge hit for the kids at all times (both waving every time they saw it or riding it). Also, having walkable options for all meals was a huge benefit with young children and for mom/dad to have a quick meal together. David and Erin were happy to answer any and all questions before and during our stay. Would love to come back again next year!

I wanted to take a moment to extend my sincere gratitude for you accommodating my family and I on such short notice. Your home was by far one of the most well appointed and stylish airbnb homes that my family has stayed in. We will definitely keep you in mind for future visits to Rehoboth.

Loved the place! Would be happy to visit again during the summer.. very close to the beach just a short drive, located on a one way highway just to note. Had the best time! Thank you!

Great location with easy communication throughout the process.

Our group of four couples had a great stay at Diana’s home. We had plenty of room for the eight of us. Communication with Diana was very easy. Getting to the boardwalk was about a 30-40 minute walk or 5 minute car ride. We would stay here again.

This Airbnb is BEAUTIFUL and perfect for my family (immediate, aunts, uncles and cousins) to gather for a night of birthday, anniversary and retirement celebrations! As soon as we walked in it felt immediately like home. It is well stocked, has a beautiful kitchen, comfortable beds and is overall the BEST Airbnb I have ever booked. To put it into perspective, we booked an Airbnb within walking distance during winter in the middle of a polar vortex and are already planning our next stay! Small or large families, do not hesitate! Book this listing as soon as you can!

We enjoyed ourselves, close drive or bike ride to the beach, great bar and brewery in walking distance, pool was clean, grounds well kept, everyone was respectful of each other, overall positive week in Rehoboth!

This is a great property! The house is gorgeous, the grounds are clean, kept and very private. The house was fully stocked with kitchenware, pool accessories, & decorated tastefully. A lot of delicate artwork and intentional decor- (if traveling with a young child, one needs to watch them closely :) Re: the beds- my 7 year old described it as “sleeping on clouds!” - very comfy! The area is close (2-3 min) to outlet shops and a bunch of restaurants on Costal Highway 1 and about a 6 min drive to the Rehoboth pier. It’s also a central location to other neighboring beach towns.

Jane was a wonderful host! Very responsive! The home was very cute and exactly what we needed. Close to the beach and activities, yet quiet! Will definitely stay again in the future!
