Lovely home

This is a lovely townhome that comfortably accommodated our family of 8 adults and 7 children. Bear Trap is very nice with well maintained facilities and friendly staff. We were disappointed that the powder room toilet did not work and clearly had not worked for some time. The grill, on which we planned an expensive dinner, also does not work; we could not attach the new propane tank we purchased because the valve was rusted. The electric outlets in the 4 bathrooms did not work, so hairdryers and other grooming aids could not be used, although outlets throughout the rest of the house worked just fine. Finally, the WIFI is unreliable and the working adults in our family were frustrated and had to leave Bear Trap to check email and attend on-line meetings. We enjoyed our time there and appreciate the amenities provided by the host.

Great stay in Bethany!

Our family of 12 stayed for a week and had a great time! The house was clean when we arrived, and well stocked for everything we needed! Nice variety of bedding arrangements, and every couple/family was able to have their own bathroom, which is really nice. The main floor common area is small for a big group, but downstairs was the place to hang out and play a game or watch a movie. Downside is this is really the only place where the Wifi works. With poor cell service on at least three different networks, we had to use wifi calling, so had to go to the basement to do that. My husband also had to check in at work on his laptop. The house would benefit from a couple of wifi boosters, which I suggested to the owner. In her defense, one of us lives in the area, and said everyone has problems with the local internet provider. The location of the condo was perfect - on the end of a row, so less neighbor noise, across from the clubhouse, and a short walk to the pool, which was a blessing with everything we had to tote for kids and baby! We really enjoyed the pool, which was never too crowded. We were also only a short drive to some great restaurants and mini golf. We also got lunch at the club house restaurant on one of our pool days and it was good! Easy take out to the pool. Overall, I would recommend this house. It was comfortable, clean and convenient. You just have to be aware of the internet isssues, especially if you expect to work at all while on vacation.

Annual Family Vacation

We had a great week at this property. Anything you could possibly need was stocked by Liz. We did attempt to grill and had no gas but she told us where we could go close by to grill. There was plenty of room for the 11 of us to spread out and be comfortable! The outside area was a great place to sit and relax and have coffee in the morning or drinks in the afternoon. We would love to rent again from Liz next year!!

Enjoyed our stay!

The place was really nice and as pictured! Our family had a great time. The community is great! Our family loved the pool and shuttle, but that does cost extra and can be costly with a large family. If you have golfers in the family, you can’t beat the location. Having the clubhouse so close is nice for a convenient meal or drinks. The only downfall was the Wi-Fi. If you need that for work, trying to download anything was next to impossible. Contacting the host toward the end of our stay for 2 things, I didn’t get a response. Overall though, it was a great vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Liz

Our family of 4 includes two little boys (19 months and 3 1/2 year old). We have just purchased this place and want to share with others to make the best golf getaway or family vacation to be had by all. We will welcome suggestions be any who visit and hoping to make better as we go.

What makes this property unique

We have a set of clubs there for use, as the property backs to the driving range, but is also steps to the pools, playgrounds, gym and tennis courts. Also close to the shuttle to Bethany Beach.
