Private Cottage Steps to the Beach-just four homes back from the dunes & ocean

I have named my beach cottage La Sauterelle – French for grasshopper – in honor of the copper grasshopper weather vane that has graced the top of my beach home for many years. The grasshopper is a symbol of good luck but I do not have them in the house!
This single family cottage is at the end of one of the last sandy lanes in Dewey Beach. It is only 50 yards or so back from the sand dunes, beach and ocean at the end of the street. Perfect for quick trips back and forth from the beach for lunch, snacks, refreshments or naps for the little ones. Wonderful outdoor shower. No major highway to cross in this residential area. And you can easily stroll to all the restaurants and entertainment in Dewey. Or hop the Jolly Trolley on the corner for a quick fun open-air ride into Rehoboth Beach which is just one short mile up the road.
This two-story, two-bedroom, 1.5 bath home is a classic cedar-shingled cottage. Tastefully furnished combined living and dining areas, fully equipped and modern kitchen, one bedroom (queen size bed) and one full bath on the ground floor With a full washer and dryer. A side entrance leads to a wonderful outdoor shower and a weber propane gas grill.
The circular staircase takes you to the loft bedroom (king size bed) on the second floor with an adjoining half bath. An entrance off the second floor leads you to a dramatic rooftop deck with upholstered patio furniture, table and umbrella. Perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze, sunset and evening cocktails.
This well-maintained home features warm pine paneling throughout, tongue and groove wood ceilings, vaulted ceiling in the dining/kitchen area with skylights, gleaming hardwood floors in the living areas and in the cozy loft bedroom. The living room features ample upscale seating with one full size sofa and one love seat, Custom plantation shutters and two French doors And a propane fireplace for use during the months of September and October only.
There is a small deck/stoop on the front with one dedicated parking spot on the side The home has cable TV, wifi, stereo, baseboard heating and AC.
Occupancy limited to four.
I invite you to view a video tour of my home.
Thanks so much for considering La Sauterelle for your beach vacation. Hope to see you in Dewey Beach.

Location, Location, Location!!!
This house is in the absolute perfect location. Bars and restaurants to the right and the beach to the left!! We walked anywhere and everywhere we had to go. And, as all the action surrounded us, once we were inside this charming little beach cottage, all was calm, quiet and peaceful. My son and daughter and his dog joined us for the first part of the vacation from Sunday - Tuesday and then my girlfriend and her husband joined us from Wednesday- Friday after they left. The house is literally three houses from the beach. Every morning, I was able to walk just steps to the beach to see the sunrise. I’m a photographer and had the opportunity to take some amazing images during our vacation time. The house has plenty of room for four people, beds were super comfortable and the house smelled super clean when we arrived. We had a few days of wicked wind on the beach, so we opted for time on the rooftop deck, which was absolutely awesome. It was warm and cozy up there, and you can literally hear the waves crashing onto the shore from the rooftop. I can’t tell you how many times I close my eyes and drifted off. Unfortunately, our time expired and we had to go home. I would love to come back someday it is a perfect, perfect little cottage!!!!!

Lovely Cottage Wonderful Host
We had a lovely stay at Nancy's little cottage. It was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Nancy (the Host) was SO accommodating to us. She really makes you feel like you are in your home away from home! Just steps away from the beach and town makes this a perfect location for your vacation. I highly recommend this property!!

This small cottage was clean and comfortable. The location was excellent as was the parking space. Upon arrival, we discovered that linens were not supplied. This was quite a shock as I did not see that in the listing and have never come across it on any other rental. We were coming from Arizona! After a short pause, we made it work and enjoyed our stay.

The perfect cottage!
This little cottage home was absolutely perfect. The location is amazing. So easy to get to the beach and to walk to many places in Dewey. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. The host, Nancy, was also fantastic. She is easy to get ahold of and super accommodating and responsive. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. And we would definitely stay there again.

Perfect location
The cottage is a perfect location for those who want to spend the day on the beach. It is located near the nightlife in Dewey but far enough off of the main strip that it is also quiet. We all enjoyed the deck on the top of the cottage.

This is our second trip to cricket cottage and once again, we had a wonderful time! You're so close to everything you need, the beach, shops, restaurants, etc that the car doesn't move all week. Even though you're close to everything and the "heart of the party" the cottage is set back, making it private and quiet. The access to the beach is easy and the outside shower is the best! Great place for our small family and pet! We will go back for sure!

Amazing Little Cabin
The cabin is right around 1200 ft. It’s perfect for a family of 4 with a dog. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, extra trash bags, coffee filters, ice maker AND ice trays, and pots and pans. We weren’t at a loss for anything. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star for cleanliness was due to some sand on the floor upon our arrival-however, I feel like this is more of the fault of the cleaning company and not the fault of the owner. The toilets and bathrooms were very clean. We were steps from the beach and loved the proximity to Starboards and Woodys. Both places had delicious food and something for everyone.

Great place
This was a cute, small place to stay. It’s just 4 of us and our dog, so it fit our needs well. The outside shower was great. Quiet neighborhood and super close to the beach. Parking was a little tight, but we have a truck, so that’s something we are used to. The air conditioners are very loud, but keep the place comfortable. The only cleanliness issue (that wasn’t a big issue) was a lot of dust on the lights, fans, & curtains, but it was clean overall. We would stay here again. It’s a great place.

cute bungalow with awesome roof top!
Kitchen was well supplied. Great 3 televisions. Walking distance to beach and restaurants. Only drawback was air conditioner cuts on and off constantly as energy saving but it is noisy when trying to sleep. Should put duck sign at top of stairs to 2nd floor. All signage at the lights should be in big print typed , so it is easy to read without glasses as you move to a light switch.
