Extra Touches

sheets & towels

All sheets and bath towels are included in the price of your stay. You may have noticed that most rentals in Dewey Beach do no include sheets and towels. There is a reason! Our wonderful proximity to the ocean and bay bring water runoff limitations. Therefore, laundering facilities are not close or abundant, nor are they quality due to the lack of competition. Combined summer traffic and staffing issues, and this makes providing sheets and towels a logistical and financial hurdle. We chose to install a commercial washer in our home, and with only one property to manage, are able to provide this service to our guests!

Beach towels are not provided.

It is recommended that large groups and/or individuals requiring more than 1 towel per person bring extras from home.

beach gear

So you don’t have to overpack or rent too much beach gear, we provide the following: A “Wheeleeze” beach cart, 1 canvas umbrella, and 6-8 beach chairs. Expect to also find some items leftover from previous guests. There is also a beach shack at the entrance to Carolina Street (about 100’ north as you enter the beach) that rents all sorts of beach items daily and weekly. If you arrange ahead of time, the shack girls will set up your umbrella and/or chairs in the location of your choosing each morning.

If you break the umbrella you buy it! Please watch this video for a quick tutorial on how to safely and property set-up a heavy-duty beach umbrella:

Note: the shack girls are also a great resource as babysitters!

baby supplies

The home includes a standard pack-and-play, a wooden restaurant-style high chair, a baby gate for the bottom of the stairs, and various plastic plates and bowls for children. Also available to lend upon request are bedrails, additional gates, and a supply box of assorted safety items for plugs, door handles, cabinets and toilet lids, etc.

Note: never install a baby gate at the top of stairs or on a landing.

Slider doors on the back of the house will be equipped with optional alarms and/or locks for child safety around the pool.
