Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, is something of a smaller cousin to Maryland and New Jersey's Ocean Cities. Rehoboth offers the same Atlantic beaches, a similar boardwalk with arcades and greasy eateries, shopping and a lively nightlife, but in a less crowded setting. You'll also find more than a dozen golf courses in and around Rehoboth and neighboring towns like Lewes, none any further than 15 miles away, and most within a five-mile radius.
Boardwalk Plaza Hotel
Rehoboth's Boardwalk Plaza Hotel is a Victorian-style hotel right on the oceanfront, providing easy beach and boardwalk access. Choose from a variety of rooms, suites and efficiencies. Most suites offer oceanfront views and include king beds or two queen beds, private balconies and separate sitting areas. Some suites offer in-room whirlpool baths. Efficiencies allow you to self cater with compact kitchens. Standard rooms do not offer ocean views and feature two double beds, making them the right choice for travelers on a budget looking for a no-frills room.
Amenities at the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel include an outdoor spa pool, afternoon tea, fitness center and the Plaza Pub right on the Rehoboth boardwalk.

Henlopen Hotel
Henlopen Hotel, named after nearby gorgeous Cape Henlopen State Park, features three accommodation options: standard rooms, two-room suites and deluxe oceanfront rooms. All rooms have their own private balconies, although the standard rooms and suites only offer a side view of the ocean. Two-room suites consist of a king room and a living room with queen sofa bed to sleep additional guests. Deluxe oceanfront rooms are right on Rehoboth's boardwalk and feature granite wet bars.
Helopen Hotel does not offer an on-site pool or restaurant, although it does feature a rooftop venue for weddings and other occasions. Henlopen Hotel's main appeal is its proximity to the beach and boardwalk and its comparatively lower rates for quality rooms.
