The Bay Resort
The Bay Resort is an absolute gem! Located right on the bay in the heart of Dewey Beach, this charming three-story hotel offers the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and coastal beauty. With over 50 rooms—half overlooking the bay and the other half the pool—every room offers a great view from your private balcony.
One of the highlights is the long pier that stretches out into the bay. It’s the perfect spot to watch a stunning sunset or just relax during the day. Delmarva Watersports is also located right on the bayside of the property, which is super convenient if you're looking to add a little adventure to your stay.
The hotel is less than two blocks from the ocean, so beach access is just a short walk away. In fact, everything in Dewey is walkable—restaurants, bars, music venues—you name it! The rooms are spotless, and the beds are incredibly comfortable, perfect after a fun-filled day around town.
Another big plus is the ample on-site parking. Once you park your car, you likely won’t need it again until it’s time to head home. And if you need anything at all, the front desk staff is outstanding—friendly, helpful, and truly dedicated to making your stay perfect.
Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Dewey Beach. You won’t be disappointed!

The Bay Resort Delivers!
My recent stay at The Bay Resort Waterfront Hotel in Dewey Beach was truly enjoyable, offering a perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and breathtaking views.
This resort is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to experience the best of Dewey and a pretty reasonable rate.
Right from arrival, the experience was smooth. Check-in was quick and handled by exceptionally friendly staff, setting a welcoming tone for our stay. We appreciated the option for an early check-in, though the additional $50 fee for this convenience is worth noting. Similarly, for those traveling with furry friends, be aware of the $150 dog fee, regardless of the length of your stay.
The location of The Bay Resort is undoubtedly one of its biggest assets. Situated directly on the Bay, the views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset – truly a sight to behold! With restaurants just a block away, dining options are easily accessible without needing to drive. A huge perk, and a significant money-saver, is the free parking. Given that Dewey Beach charges $30/day for parking and issues $60 tickets for non-compliance, this amenity alone is a major advantage and something we greatly appreciated.
The resort itself was noticeably clean and well-maintained, a testament to ongoing upkeep. While the pool is on the smaller side, it was impeccably clean and perfectly adequate for a refreshing dip. We also enjoyed the small Bayside beach and the long fishing/crabbing pier, offering additional opportunities for relaxation and recreation.
Our room was a good size, providing ample space, and equipped with fine amenities. We particularly liked that some rooms offer kitchens, a great option for longer stays or those who prefer to prepare their own meals. The bed was notably comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The towels were a standout – noticeably clean, soft, and plentiful, a small detail that often makes a big difference.
Overall, The Bay Resort Waterfront Hotel offers a fantastic experience in Dewey Beach. Its prime location, friendly service, cleanliness, and thoughtful amenities make it a highly recommended choice for a memorable getaway.

Location is about the only thing that makes this place worth while. Dog piss EVERYWHERE and then the barking starts at 5am. We paid in ADVANCE for 3 rooms in a row on the bottom floor, and got 3 separate rooms on the second floor. Cigarette butts and ashes all over the place right beside the office. We have been going here for over 40 years and this will probably be our last. So sad to see a great place get destroyed by animals, disrespectful people and a HUGE lack of care on managements part. The LOCAL staff was GREAT!!! Do yourself a favor and call them directly instead of talking to some jerk off who isn't even in Delaware just wanting your money.
