Addy Sea is everything you hope for in a beachside escape—elegant, historic, and effortlessly welcoming. The views are absolutely stunning, with the Atlantic just steps away and the soothing sounds of the surf setting the tone for a relaxing stay. The inn’s location is ideal: walkable to both the beach and the heart of Bethany Beach, with outstanding dining options like Sedona just minutes away. For those willing to explore a bit farther, Rehoboth Beach and Lewes offer even more culinary gems.
The staff at Addy Sea are incredibly attentive, striking the perfect balance between warm hospitality and thoughtful service. You don’t need to pack beach accessories—chairs, umbrellas, and everything you need for a perfect day by the ocean are provided. And when evening rolls around, the porch becomes the perfect spot for cocktails, with all the glassware you could want already waiting.
We visited just after Labor Day, and it was magical. The ocean was still warm, the weather perfect for beach days, and best of all—no crowds. Shops and restaurants were still open, making it a peaceful yet vibrant time to enjoy the area.
The inn itself is steeped in history, and the breakfast and afternoon tea desserts are truly to die for. Addy Sea isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to savor. Highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit.
