Spacious vacation house

We thoroughly enjoyed this spacious vacation home. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for the ten of us in the house. We did have to walk 20-25min from the house to the Bethany Boardwalk, but there was the trolley if we wanted to use that option as well. It was clean overall, but someone in the party noted that the high chair should've been cleaned, and we needed to brush off the chair pads around the kitchen table before sitting down. But those aside, we'd definitely visit again!

Good place for family gathering

This was a good place for our group of 11 people. The kitchen is seriously lacking with good cookware to the point that one of our guests purchased additional cookware to utilize during our stay. I still don't understand the reasoning behind not providing sheets andr blankets. I recognize that covid caused some of these changes but don't understand why this practice continues. When someone rents a horse and then either had to pack additional towels and sheets, it's inconvenient. Or, your paying more money to rent these products in top of all the other money you've spent. Otherwise, this is a great place, beautiful neighborhood and the trolley was a nice addition in transportation to the beach

Great Family Retreat

This was a perfect venue for our family to get together. As many of us live in other states, gathering here in Bethany was the perfect way to spend special time together. This house lend itself perfectly for fun family activities at home and at the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Moses

My family has vacationed in Bethany Beach for over 40 years. Having trouble finding a suitable rental as our family grew, we decided to build a home that could accommodate multiple generations and families. We've just added a 5th generation to enjoy our beloved vacation destination. Discover Bethany Beach with your loved ones this year!

Why they chose this property

Parents have their own bedrooms and kids hang out in the bunk room. Grandparents will enjoy staying in the main level master suite. We love relaxing on the screened porch which seems to always enjoy a delightful cross-breeze. This house is also perfect for groups of friends and families vacationing together. I keep it available year-round for those fall and winter get-aways as well as for family holiday gatherings. You'll enjoy comfortable living space, both inside and out.

What makes this property unique

Affordable homes that can accommodate large groups are rare in Bethany Beach. We're located inside the town limits, so you have free beach parking passes for 2 cars and use of the Town Trolley (suspended for 2020). Our home offers on-demand water heaters, so even the last person to shower gets hot water! Being in town was the most important factor for us when we bought this lot to build our family beach home.
