Pool Restrictions for Vacationers in Rehoboth Considered

If you’re vacationing in Rehoboth Beach and looking forward to using the pool at your rental house that could come to an end in the near future.

The resort’s board of commissioners is looking at denying vacationers the right to use the pools of rental properties.

The Mayor and other city officials are concerned that the larger homes being built in the resort is causing too much noise and disruption in the residential areas.

But many property owners say they believe this will reduce the amount of money they get from renting their homes that comes into beach town during the tourist season.

Its the traffic that's making all the noise.

I don't see how the town can make it illegal for owners to allow their guests (paying or not) to use all the facilities including the pool.

If a particular guest has been a problem, then the owner about be notified. That individual guest should be banned from the pool, and if the owner does not co-operate, then there should be sanctions. The owner can simply decline to rent to that person again.

But there should not be a sweeping regulation barring guests from using the community pool otherwise.

Pools in Rehobeth need an overdose of chlorine if you get my drift.

Rehoboth is the vogue destination of the same people in DC who live to expand their purview into limiting other Citizen's behavior while screaming about limitations on their own... 4 months a year they come here and tell us how to live and what is right... then Fall comes and we don't miss them one single bit

That's like renting a room at the Holiday INN and them telling you that you can't use the pool or any of the other amenities offered. If you have paid for the lodging or rent you are entitled to ALL of the features within your rental space.

Whether it is an owner or rental, if they are paying for the pool they have a right to use it. These people bought a home in a resort town yet don't want any tourists. Sorry it doesn't work that way!

I thought the people in Rehoboth were tolerant of others? I guess not!

I know what you are getting at-the commenter misspelled Rehoboth (as in Delaware ), but there is a RehoBETH, as well. Rehobeth is a small community in rural Somerset County.

After the McKinney troglodytery, our condo's HOA by-laws will be needing an addendum to address these types of potential problems. There haven't been issues like this there, but I'd rather there be clearly stated rules up front.

I think their rules were very reasonable. Not trying to prevent people who are vacationing from using the pool, just limiting it to a civilized number of people personally known to the resident or vacationer.

you can have other people tell you how to live and what color your front door is if you want but we shut it down. some of us like freedom and individuality over busy body neighbors.

9:58 If you don't live there, or are a paid renter, or are the specific invited guest of someone who does, you aren't shutting down a damn thing but your own mouth.

We like our freedom from loud, rude, uncivilized ghetto simians, that's why we bought property there. Don't care what anyone else does, but we aren't putting up with outsiders who seek to intrude upon private community property.

Take your self-entitled ignorance somewhere else.
