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.

Mayor Sam Cooper told the Wilmington News Journal that he believed the new rule would be like the height and noise restrictions that are currently in place.
