An Elegant, Victorian Bed
Breakfast In. The Addy Sea, More than a bed and
breakfast ~ An experience to treasure. After a day in the sun, join the other guest for
Tea in the Victorian parlor with original tin ceiling, moldings and furnishings. The oceanfront Addy Sea, located on the corner of. Oceanview Parkway North Atlantic, steeped in history and legend, is one of Bethany's most famous landmarks. A mere glance at its late-Victorian exterior, clothed in the classic cedar shingles the town's early houses wore and trimmed with lacy gingerbread, brings to mind a bygone era in which visitors came to the beach by steamer and horse-drawn buggy. John M. Addy, one of Bethany's original settlers, built the Addy Sea for his family in 1902. The Family began renting it to church groups during the Depression. It changed hands in the 70's and the Gravattes who have been welcoming guests for 25 years, continue to operate the Addy Sea as a bed and
breakfast inn. The Addy Sea has
13 guestrooms and accomodates 37 comfortably. Building restoration has been done, taking great care to remain true to tradition and the dignity of this elegant Victorian lady. Guests can step off the
veranda onto the beach, then retreat to the rocking chairs in the afternoon to enjoy the shade and sea breeze. Enter the parlor and step into another era, under the Victorian chandelier, and enjoy afternooon
tea or lemonade along with some of our baked delicacies. After a relaxing day by the ocean, a walk in the sand and on the boardwalk, it is time to rest in our magnificent beds designed for your utmost comfort. Rest and relaxation are the keywords at the Addy Sea, come and see for yourself. We look forward to your stay with us.

The History Of The Addy Sea Click on each image to enlarge it! One of the more familiar Bethany Beach landmarks through the years has been the Addy Sea (the name of the original Addy summer cottage).This stately home on the Northern edge of town was built in 1902 by Mr. John Matthew Addy, a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania plumbing supplier and the patriarch of the Addy family. It was built as a family home and remained that way until 1935 when it became a boarding house. The house was a show place, not only for its location and stateliness, but for the
modem conveniences it offered the early guests like
bathrooms, indoor plumbing and carbide lamps which were all shipped by railroad from Pittsburgh to Rehoboth Beach and then barged to Bethany Beach via the inland canal system. Mr. Addy drilled through solid bed rock to provide the home and others in the area with fresh, pure well water. The Addy Sea was a great success as a boarding house and with the plethora of local fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables,
breakfast and
dinner were events to be savored. Following the storm of 1927, the house was moved back from the sea and the old foundations were left on the beach. They became an ideal gathering place for beach
parties where fires could be built and hot dogs and marshmallows toasted. Over time the sands covered the old foundations. Over the next 70 years, the Addy Sea, outbuildings and properties passed on to the children and grandchildren of John and Jennie Addy. It continued to be run as a boarding house by Edward and Martha Jean Addy until it was sold to Mr. Leroy Gravatte in 1975. Addy Sea circa 1904 Perry Cottage In Background. Mr. Mrs John M.
