Quiet & Convenient

Few steps from the beach. Extremely quiet neighborhood at the end of South Bethany. Perfect for families we had a handicap family member and the ease of one floor with an open living room and kitchen was perfect! Very peaceful place to rest.

Quaint Beach cottage

Amazing location! Older beach house within 2 min walk of the beach. Quiet neighborhood with street and driveway parking. The roof deck and addition on the house were the key features. Interior was old, but good gathering space for the family.

Delightful Place & great location!

Loved this simple, comfortable, updated cottage. The added master bedroom and bathroom was wonderful as was the rooftop deck. We want to come back for several weeks next year! Stacy, the owner, was pleasant & promptly responsive to communication. Thank you Stacy.

Exceptional House

I recently stayed at the “Simple Family Beach House” with my family, and we had an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property is well taken care of and thoughtfully equipped for guests. The beach location is perfect—just steps away from the ocean, making it ideal for a fun and relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful rooftop deck, where we enjoyed stunning views and spent time soaking in the atmosphere together. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach! What truly impressed us, though, was the incredible hospitality exhibited by the hosts. After our stay, we realized we had left some items behind, and they went above and beyond to swiftly coordinate the return of our belongings. This level of care made our experience even more memorable and showcased their commitment to outstanding customer service. I highly recommend this VRBO for anyone looking for a lovely beach retreat! Thank you for a wonderful stay and for your incredible support.

Nice getaway close to the beach

We enjoyed our stay in South Bethany. Stacy is quick with communication and fixing a minor problem that came up during our stay. Place has lots of comfy couch space to sit and a nice size dining table. The cool retro fridge was a bit smaller than we are used to using, but still works well. The upstairs deck is nice as well. So close to the beach too. I will say the outside of the house is not up to par with the inside. Weeds over growing the outside shower. It’s just not a well maintained yard. But the house inside is. I would definitely book again.

Wonderful property

Party of 8 including parents, teens and kids. Home is clean and comfortable. Plenty of room to hang out, sleep and eat. Steps from a quiet, beautiful beach. The state park is a short walk away and kayaking on the bay (rentals) is within biking distance. The rooftop deck provides a place to relax after hours with a view of the ocean. Everything you need for a relaxing fun week is here.

Excellent location

Spent a great 2 weeks at this wonderful location. Proximity to the beach was ideal! The house checked all of the boxes, comfort, cleanliness, space and amenities! While we’re used to a covered deck or patio, this house does offer plenty of social gathering space, inside and out. The added master en suite was definitely a plus! What the exterior upkeep was lacking, the location of the property made up for! Keep an eye on this one as the owner has been working to turn this place into a real gem!

Great location

We were switched the the home next door (cozy cottage) by same owner due to maintenance on our original reserved home. It was a great layout for two couples, grandma and two young kids. Proximity to the beach was amazing and their were ample beach items to use. They also had many games to use. Disappointed in the cleanliness and upkeep as we had hair in 2/3 showers, an open bar of soap left in there and 1/4 dust on the extra bedroom room fans, as well as air vents that were dirty/rusted. The top dishes cabinet we opted to not touch as you could see the bottom bowing and we feared it all coming down. The dryer made the craziest loud screeching noise when it was on but it worked well otherwise. Many of the electrical outlets were sticking out of the wall so we just avoided using those. Lastly, fridge door shelf kept falling off when we opened it, but just stopped using it and was fine. We didn’t use the roof top deck as the stairs made us a bit nervous, but went up once and was a beautiful view. Upstairs bedroom Even had ocean view from windows. Overall, it was a good stay and the home worked for what we needed it for, but wouldn’t use the same home the next time just based on these few things.

Great location

Overall, we had a very positive experience staying at this house. This property was located very close to the beach, which was awesome. The roof top deck was a great addition to house. The house was clean and the owners have certainly made some nice improvements to the property. My only concern was the lighting., (for example: there was no front porch light nor were there lights for the rooftop deck to see going up/down the stairs at night and the queen bedroom ceiling fan/light did not work.)

Extremely convenient to beach. Clean and accurate description. Walking distance to local bakery. Nice rooftop deck. Ample size for a family of 6. Minor negative was some electrical issues with no light out front house. Could have got quicker property manager response. Otherwise I would recommend and rerent.
