It's a nice enough inn...well run, clean, and with lots of style to the room design (a sort of modernist/IKEA flavored vibe). We were in a king room with an HDTV and comfy couch to read on. Inn is in walking distance to boardwalk if you don't mind a walk (probably 1/2 a mile) and even closer to Dogfish, which is great if you are planning to walk home.

A few possible negatives, none of which are deal breakers given the alternatives in the area: (1) walls seemed pretty thin -- we heard the next door room's TV and dog; (2) in-room heater was also fairly loud -- obviously not a concern if you are there during the peak season; (3) continental breakfast was a bit sparse/underwhelming {I'm a coffee snob, though, so your mileage may vary}.

All and all I'd recommend it for most travellers.

I called the most expensive B&B in Rehobothtown to ask for a recommendation on a moderately priced Inn; "Canalside Inn" was the reply. I then asked, "anyplace else"? No was all he said. I now know why! It was my best inn experience ever. Not only is it inexpensive, it is excellent in every way. Class, Style, Taste, & Quality.
Thanks for a wonderful experience to Stephen & Rick!

This place is great! My room smelled of bleach and laundry! It's quiet and clean and the rooms are adorable. There was even a black washcloth clearly labeled "makeup" for me! French doors that lead out to a shared deck area.Their breakfast was bagels, muffins & granola yogurts not your run of the mill microwave sausage and egg disks. The lounge area is cozy with lots of games and dvds and nice Tv's. I could not be happier! They have a house cat named Lindsey which i got to meet this morning.
Sure beats the comfort suites or anything else down here!

After researching many possibilities to take my husband for a birthday weekend celebration in Rehoboth Beach, I chose the Canalside Inn. The photos of the rooms were quite attractive, and I was considering places where we could take our dog along. The Inn is off the main drag, but right across the street from the canal. The room we had was huge, and very well equipped. A king size bed, a nice bathroom and a kitchenette with a microwave and small fridge. We were lucky to have fantastic weather in November, so the walk downtown and back was pleasant and relaxing! I would recommend this to others and we plan to go back!
