No idea from Philly, we traveled form NY. We arrived around midday and were sitting on a bench when a car drove up asking did we want work and a place to stay - that was us sorted ! we stayed and worked for the Budget inn both in Rehoboth and in the sister place out on the highway near the outlet malls. we were chamermaids from 9 til 3 or earlier depending on how many cleans and we all had various other jobs from working as waiters to landscaping to making pizzas to the Xmas shop .... the best jobs go early but if you are too early there are no jobs as work is seasonal........various house are rented out to the "irish". It is fairly small place, very summer orientated, nice long beach with broadwalk. Lively bars not as trashy as europen package holiday spots...but you cant drink unless 21 and that is enforced. One problem that some people found is that there is a strong gay and lesbian presence, with gay bars and a gay section of beach and overtly gay couples, all the girls were fine with this however some of the guys were uncomfortable but now that Ireland is more open this wouldnt be the culture shock taht it was. Overall it is a summer town, i would think it is still safe, with a nice atmosphere, however, it is a little off the beaten track for some people and it is NB to note that your daughter may have to sign contart of work to say that she will stay to labour day - this is restrictive if she wants to travel in the States after making mone for the summer.....
