Delaware InnA spiritual awakening

One of the most popular small inns in Rehoboth, the Delaware Inn has seven stylish rooms in one of the best locations around for those who don’t want to miss a thing. Just two blocks from the beach and two blocks from Rehoboth Avenue, this is truly a park it and forget it kind of place.

There’s a big front porch with white rattan couches and rockers, a complimentary gentle yoga class led by the innkeeper (a certified teacher), breakfast (included) with a special hot entrée and hot and cold buffet each day. Gluten-free, vegetarian and other special diets are welcomed. And, in the evening, warm homemade cookies.

From mid-September through mid-May, Innkeeper Sharon invites individuals or small groups to book the inn for silent or directed spiritual retreats.

Ooohhhhmmmmmm.

Free WiFi.

At Melissa'saka “Home”

Everyone loves At Melissa’s.

Washingtonian Magazine named this charming 6-room B&B one of 50 great places to stay, and nothing’s changed since then. The 100-year-old cottage is a little creakier, and the warm wood floors a little more deeply worn, and all that adds up to: home.

If you had a home at the beach, that is.

And an interior designer who had spot-on taste for evoking the quintessential beach house.

The front porch or the private back yard are great spots to linger over the elaborate continental breakfast-plus (the plus might be boiled eggs and applewood-smoked bacon, or quiche and sausage, or make-your-own waffles). And when you’re ready for the long 5 minute trek to the beach, At Melissa’s loads you up with beach towels, sand chairs, and coolers full of ice. When you get back, grab a free water, soda, glass of wine, or beer from the fridge, and relax.

Free WiFi! Children warmly welcomed.

At Melissa's Today’s No iPhone Friday will help you transition from the hectic, crazy days of summer to the relaxed, porch-sitting days of fall.  To do that, you’ll be needing a porch.  At Melissa’s can help.

Everyone loves At Melissa’s.  And in October you can love At Melissa’s for less.  WAY less. 

Here’s the SWAG:  During October, stay for only $99 weeknights, 2 night minimum. Just tell them Rehoboth in My Pocket sent you.  (Try it in a whisper with a foreign accent, just for fun.)
