    Pet friendly stop on the long way home to NC. Very good coffee. Comfy clean beds. Could use some cosmetic work.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was cozy and super clean.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Loved the location in a quiet residential area away from the crowds. Definitely the most pet friendly place we have stayed without having to give up the luxuries you often do for a pet friendly stay. The dogs are even pampered with bowls, towels and treats! Perfect area to walk them along the canal across the street from the inn. Within walking distance to the main street and great restaurants. Definitely will be returning now that we have found this gem!

    Lovely quiet location! Very pet friendly

    NOT FOR EVERYBODY KIND OF PLACE IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. CHEAPER ISNT ALWAYS BETTER. SHOWER HEADS AND DRAINS DONT COST MUCH TO REPLACE. THROW AWAY BROWN NASTY TOWELS. CALL A REPAIR MAN FOR YOUR WATER PRESSURE. NO STAFF ON SITE EVER TO COMPLAIN. NONE

    Close to downtown - the main section where many shops and restaurants are located (Rehoboth Ave). Very clean and staff very pleasant. Wished there was a tub, but they are rare these days. LOVED the french doors that opened to the balcony with the tall Adirondack style beach chairs.

    It’s dog friendly & super charming

    Very basic, clean hotel room. Good for travel with dogs. Would stay again.

    I really liked the location and the comfort of this hotel and how pet friendly it is. It’s located right across from a small park area which is perfect when you have dogs. It was also nice to find some pet supplies when I arrived to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Staff was really nice and accommodating. Free parking. There isn’t really anything that I did not like about the property, but I would recommend that they would perhaps place a doormat or rug on the inside of the room so that you can try to dry your shoes from all the rain recently for example.

    I would highly recommend this inn and would definitely choose this place again for all my future visits. The location is also great. Near beach and great restaurants. There is a small park directly across the quiet street from the inn that is perfect for walking pup in morning.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Canal side Inn. So did my furry companion Frankie, who was well greeted by the owners and other pets alike. Guests were equally friendly, those with 2 feet. The room was lovely for a single traveler and dog. It was especially nice being in a residential neighborhood with the canal right outside the doorstep, lovely scenery, easy walking distance to Rehoboth Beach Perfect four-day vacation to clear the mind with easy access to all that you would want in Rehobeth.

    Cute place to stay, in a nice locstion

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Only downside was that room had hard floors with no rugs so sound really traveled. I could hear every coming and going in the hallway.

    I liked everything about the hotel and location!

    I had just completed cancer treatment and was traveling for my birthday with a long-time friend. Who has early onset Alzheimer’s and my dog. We stayed here because it sounded perfect to keep an eye on my friend while giving him his space without distractions or having to have my dog on top of him as well as allow us to dine in since crowded spaces can be problematic for him. When we arrived our room was a double room with 2 queen beds, a microwave mounted below a counter and a small fridge – NONE OF WHAT WE EXPECTED. After contacting management, I was told that they don’t have a “Family Suite” (listed on their webpage) but that it’s called a “Beach Suite” and that’s not what we booked….. He went to the matt with me that I booked a double room. When I informed him, I was looking at my receipt and I indeed booked the “Family Suite” he told me Expedia sent him the wrong reservation and that Expedia sent a reservation for a double room. I insisted I was looking at the receipt on Expedia and it definitely stated they/I booked the suite. He went on to tell me there was NO SUITE”. I told him I was looking at the pictures on their listing and described the suite to him he told me he would have to look into it and get back to me, asking me to “hang tight” this was at 1:09pm the

    Bright clean room. Friendly staff. Dog barking for a good while late in the evening. Owners must have left and left it in the room.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Pet friendly, small and very easy. Glad I could go directly to the room without waiting due to having dogs. Wish rooms had a little more back support (headboard, pillows), lighting/AC wasn't working well and hot tub did break but staff was great in accommodating as best they could. Love how pet friendly they are, dogs had an amazing time, best dog friendly hotel I've been to (even option for a large quiet basement suite if your pup is reactive). It is also a great walk to the beach or to take a bike (dogs are allowed on the boardwalk/beach from late September to early May) but even just the trails and dog friendly restaurants it is worth a stay if you have furry friends!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Amazing stay, wonderful staff. Traveled with our dog and it was a short getaway trip as a couple. We enjoyed our time and beach was a short drive. Walking distance to breakfast and coffee restaurants. Did a lot of shopping but we drive to shop to have our car for storing stuff but you could walk to some shops.
