High Quality Hotel/Rental in Rehoboth for family with 2...

My family is considering visiting Rehoboth Beach in July 2006 for the first time with our 5 year old and 7 year old. Can anyone recommend any high quality hotels or rentals that are good for families? Must be on or within 2 blocks of Rehoboth Beach and Boardwalk. Pool and kids program would also be nice.

There really aren%26#39;t any resort type hotels in Rehoboth Beach, either near the boardwalk or out on Route 1. On Route 1, you%26#39;ll find things like Holiday Inn Express or AmericaInn, but you have to drive into the beach area to park. On the beach, the hotels are locally owned. I don%26#39;t know if they would fit your description of ';high quality'; or not. I stayed in the Boardwalk Plaza which is ranked #1 on here and it was more like a quaint little inn. They have a very small pool and it is an indoor/outdoor pool. The #2 hotel on here is called the Bellmoor. There website is www.thebellmoor.com. I have never stayed there, but it looks more like a nice ';inn'; as well. There are photos on expedia.com. They also list ';babysitting %26amp; childcare services'; but no children%26#39;s programs. A good site for listings of where to stay and what to do can be found at www.rehoboth.com. This site also lists vacation rental agencies. We found a condo for a week this way, but they also list homes as well.

P.S. If you decide to go with a rental, you will want to make this decision RIGHT AWAY. As it is, you may have a hard time finding what you want in the location that you want.

Your best option for a resort-type experience with a kids program is about 20 minutes south with a condo rental at Sea Colony in Bethany Beach.

The better hotels in Rehoboth might be able to arrange for a reliable babysitter if you need one for a few hours, but for the most part you%26#39;ll be on your own to keep the kids amused.
