Wonderful stay
We have a wonderful stay at Melanie’s cottage. It was a short walk to the beach and it had everything we needed for our stay. It was super cozy and we loved that we could bring our dog. He had a blast at the beach and loved the small front yard. We are already planning our trip to Dewey for next year and we hope to stay here!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Four Houses. The place was very clean, and location is perfect for enjoying Dewey Beach. We enjoyed the front deck and how it was set back from the street. The mini garden adds a nice touch to the location. Melanie was very kind and prompt in responding to our questions. Overall, a relaxing long weekend - we will definitely return - hopefully soon!

Very nice place. Small, but big enough for my wife and I and our dog. Kitchen has everything you need, beds and couch are very comfortable. Quiet street, but close to everything Dewey has to offer.

Perfect spot for beach lovers!
This cute, clean cottage had all the amenities needed for a great beach vacation! The outside deck was great for morning coffee and an evening cocktail! And the neighbors were lovely also! Parking was never an issue. The walk to the beach and restaurants was so convenient! Our family of 3 would definitely stay here again! Melanie was a wonderful hostess!!

Very cute, comfortable cottage in a perfect location. It was well equipped and perfectly match the description as advertised. The situation with the parking was not a problem at all and the extra parking pass worked out well. I would definitely stay there again. Also, great communication with the owner.
