The Bay Resort is one of the few hotels in Dewey Beach that offers complimentary water sports equipment, including paddleboards and kayaks with on-site rentals. Guests have access to a private pier for fishing and crabbing, plus an outdoor pool with bay views. Daily housekeeping refresh services are available, along with laundry facilities and a 24-hour front desk.

Each guest room includes a kitchenette with a stove, microwave, and refrigerator, allowing guests to prepare meals. Rooms feature flat-screen cable TVs and free WiFi, with many offering private balconies that overlook the bay or pool.

Location
The hotel sits on a peaceful cove on Rehoboth Bay, a 3-minute walk from Dewey Beach and near the town's nightlife and restaurants. Guests are 3.2 km from the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk and 4.8 km from the Tanger Outlet Center for tax-free shopping. Hiking at Cape Henlopen State Park is 16 km away, and Delaware's largest water park, Jungle Jim's, is a short drive from the property.
Family-Friendly
The hotel provides a range of family-friendly activities, including on-site kayak and paddleboard rentals and a playground within walking distance. The outdoor pool and private pier offer safe spaces for children to play and explore the bay. Spacious double rooms and kitchenettes allow families to cook meals and save on dining costs.
Pet-Friendly
Up to two pets are allowed per room, making the hotel a convenient choice for travelers with dogs. The property includes a grassy area near the bay for pet relief and a pet-friendly beach just a short walk away. Pet fees apply, and guests are asked to keep pets on leashes in common areas.

“The hotel's location on Rehoboth Bay strikes a smart balance: a quiet cove setting, with easy access to both the bay and the ocean beaches. I think families will appreciate the thoughtful amenities and the chance to launch kayaks right from the property's pier. It stands out as a practical choice for travelers wanting a relaxed, beach-centered vacation.”
