We just wanted to let you know about The Rodney Dunes Pier 12 Management and a little something about our family. We are a family owned & operated business. We purchased the building in 2001 and completely remodeled to make this a cozy comfortable place to be able to relax and enjoy your vacation. We had to completely redo everything from the ground up.
My husband, Larry, is a Delaware native having lived in Smyrna all his life. I am originally from Augusta, Ga, Home of the MASTERS GOLF TOURNAMENT. We have been married for 39 years and have three children, Jeryl (daughter), Chuck (son) and Todd (son) as well as Marc (son in law) and April (daughter in law). We also have four beautiful grandaughters, Taylor Renee age 12, Sydney Leigh age 11, and Elayna Grace age 5, & Ava Marie age six months
Between all of us we do all the work that is required to run Rodney Dunes Pier 12.
This is our family with my husband's grandmother in the center. She was 104 years old in March, 09

Since I am a mother, I felt each apartment needed a full size kitchen complete with dishwashers because I feel that mothers are on vacation as well as their families. Moms do everything for their families so it should be as easy as possible. And let's face it, none of us like to do dishes.
We have tried to make the apartments as inviting as possible and are always open to suggestions.
The addition of the balcony to Apt C has been well received and everyone seems to love it. We wanted to put a balcony off Apt B as well but due to set back codes with the county that is not allowed.
Without the help and cooperation of my son in law and daughter, Marc and Jeryl Moore, and our son and daughter in law, Chuck and April Tush this would never have been possible. They devoted every weekend to the remodeling of this building. This was a major undertaking and everything had to be done. We completely gutted Apartment B & C and started over. Once finished these apartments are now available for year round use if so desired.
Apartment A is the original cottage and we only made a few changes there. The living room has real boards of wormy chestnut as the walls so of course we wanted to leave that intact. This apartment also has hardwood floors. Some of the things we did do include a new updated kitchen and bathroom, wall paper, and paint although we have plans for additional changes in years to come.
One of the biggest accomplishments was the replacement of all the windows and the addition of vinyl siding. We also added a pitched roof to the porch area and over the front door of Apt A.
I also would like to add that our friend Wayne James deserves a big hand for all the help and support he gave. Had he not come and brought four of his workers with him, the outside landscaping would not have gotten done. They put in all the pilings and helped move the outside building as well as the outside shower so that we could open up the back yard for a picnic area. We have now also added a second outside shower
Some our tenants have been coming here for thirty years and still continue to come now that we have bought the place. Our hope is that anyone that rents from us will want to come back each year because they enjoyed their stay that much. Ours is a family building and as such we feel each and everyone is special and we hope they will become a part of our extended family.
This is the real reason behind our purchase. We wanted the grandchildren to be able to enjoy growing up with summers at the beach the way our children did!!
We hope you will want to spend your vacation with us.
Since I was born and raised in the South, I hope that we can pass our Southern Hospitality along to you.
YA'LL COME BACK NOW, YA HEAR!!
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU!!
As you can see, we had everyone working
