We had a lovely balcony with morning sun overlooking a couple trees and another property. The worst thing probably was the complete lack of an elevator but as it was only 3 floors it was not THAT bad. They had a small pool in the center of the hotel, not inside, but surrounded by the staircases and halls. The beach was a short 1.5 block walk to the entrance over the dunes. Overall it was a pleasant stay. We were surprised that the room was cleaned, bed made, and towels swapped, a thing not requested and in this era of post covid crap, a thing not often found.

The property had a strong cleaning smell, but after a few minutes in the room, I did not notice the smell. I had a room facing the Coastal Highway. The traffic noise woke me up several times.

I would return to this property in a heartbeat. Everything was great from beginning to end. The staff were very welcoming upon arrival and friendly throughout our stay. I wanted to stay somewhere within walking distance to the beach and this absolutely was. I had never been to Delaware before so I wasn’t sure if I made the right decision in choosing Fenwick Island but for my daughter and I it was the best! If you want the hustle and bustle and crowds of Rehoboth Beach, then don’t stay here, but if you want a wonderful ocean vacation where you can relax this is the place to be!

Although this building is older and the hot water would run out with 4 people and beds weren’t super comfy, it was a great stay ! The staff were all super friendly and the room was clean. Short walk to the beach. Bethany boardwalk is 10 min drive and Ocean city was very close. I would stay here again!

Feeling Ripped Off
It was ridiculously expensive- clean and serviceable but feel ripped off as I paid almost 600 dollars in advance for a two night stay and then went back on this website only to see it was being offered for 120 a night for the very next weekend. Not sure why I had to pay double the rate for my room this weekend when the motel was not full and am pretty annoyed and feeling taken advantage of.

Stayed here for the Ocean's Calling festival. Check-in was quick and efficient. The staff was friendly and kind. The room was dated, but clean and had a true king size bed. Excellent pillows - firm yet soft. I would stay here again for the location and ease of getting to places along the beach.
