Great rental and perfect location in Dewey! Our family stayed for two weeks and loved it - the rental had everything we needed and more: picture-perfect views, great cooking supplies, tons of extra blankets and beach gear, books, cards and board games, etc. The owner, Susan, was super helpful and communicative, checking in on us several times during Hurricane Erin. We loved it so much that we already booked for next year! Definitely recommend.

Sandy Paws was a nicely presented beach home. Plenty of room for family but it was just my spouse and I. Mother Nature was really making a show on our second day but we did get to enjoy the beach, which was so close, on the other days we were there. As it was after the summer season it was so very relaxing.
