About This Hotel

If you’re looking for a spot that perfectly captures the "New Dewey" while tipping its hat to the town's legendary roots, you’ve found it.

Located at 21 Van Dyke Avenue, the Surf Shanty Motel is a newly-renovated, modern boutique escape that has breathed fresh life into what was once the historic Bell Buoy Inn.

Tucked away on the ocean block, this three-story gem is all about "vintage vibes and a super chill mojo." It’s designed for those who want that laid-back, "Old Dewey" feel but prefer modern-day comforts.

Free Beach Cruisers: One of the best perks here is their fleet of free-to-use teal bicycles. Grab one and cruise the town or head north on the trails into Rehoboth.
