About this property

Lux Bethany Beach House | Walking Distance to Ocean | Gated Community with Pool

The six bedroom, five full and two half bath Indian River Retreat Beach House is the perfect place for a family vacation. The beach house is located in the private gated community at South Shore Marina - located at the north end of Bethany Beach.

With the large windows and multiple decks, including a spiral stair case to the sun deck, this house will become a family favorite for summer trips. The house is walking distance to Delaware Seashore State Park (6/10ths of a mile), where you can enjoy a life guarded beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The Indian River Bay surrounds the home and provides an amazing landscape for relaxation and some of the best sunsets you will ever see.

This modern beach home was professionally decorated and is an ideal summer getaway. The open floor plan on the main level allows you to gather with your family and closest friends, but the multiple levels create privacy and space.

The house elevator makes it easy to get luggage and groceries to each floor.

Spend the day at the beach or take part in the activities offered by Delaware Seashore State Park or all that the local beach communities have to offer. In the evening wind down with dinner and live music overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or Indian River Bay at either Big Chill or Hammerheads, our two local communal restaurants.

The chef in your family will have access to a large kitchen and everything needed to prepare a great family meal or choose to grill on the deck overlooking the Bay. When the sun goes down and things move inside, its time to challenge family and friends to a game of corn hole or cards or enjoy a movie on one of the six large smart TVs.

The home is a short drive to all of the area attractions including: Rehoboth, Dewey, Fenwick Island and Ocean City, MD beaches, outlet shopping, brewery tours, golf, boating, jet skiing, fishing, amazing food and restaurants and so much more.

This was the perfect spot for our multigenerational family beach vacation. Great space for all of us to spread out but large dining and living area for time together. Gorgeous views in all directions. There was a quick response to any concerns we had.

Great place for a large group

So many bedrooms, bathrooms & hangout spots for a large family to enjoy both privacy and fun times spent together over meals & games. Super location next to the water for kayaking, plus the pool and pickleball courts are a few steps away. Rooftop deck was enjoyed daily for sunrises and sunsets. Biking trail nearby.

Lovely long weekend with family

We loved this clean, well-kept home and the memories we made there. Being nature lovers, we especially enjoyed watching a fox around the marsh, all of the herons, and the spectacular sunrises and sunsets. There was plenty of space for our family group of 12 to eat, play games, and just have fun being together.

Very lovely home in an outstanding location - please don't tell anyone else

It is wonderful that linens and towels are provided (you should note that beach towels are not included). Very well outfitted house which is extremely well organized and exactly as advertised. Our family enjoyed the many different areas where we could relax. The owner/manager was immediately accessible when we had a question.

Jason is a great host - easy to get a hold of when we had questions and was nothing but kind and gracious. We can't wait to come back!

Great house for fireworks!

This house was perfect for 3 families with teenage / adult children. Kids had to drive / Uber to Bethany Boardwalk but it was very easy. The house is huge with lots of decks and perfect if you are serious about corn hole. The eagle’s nest was the adults’ favorite spot with amazing, unobstructed views. We could watch 15 different fireworks on the 4th of July from the upper deck and some locals set some off in the neighborhood marina that were very impressive. Hosts were very friendly and in touch with us. Would stay here again!

Anniversary/vacation with the whole family

If you are looking for a place where your whole family can experience a family vacation - with all the comforts of home, then this is the place for you. We loved all the unique porch spaces, and the views. Especially loved the screened sun room and the roof top sunset space. We spent one whole evening playing games in the garage! Plenty to do, in this beautiful location (close to State Park and pristine local beaches). You won't be disappointed!

Outstanding Family Vacation

Our stay was wonderful. This beautiful house is much larger than even the photos show. It felt like we were on an island, paddle boarding and kayaking in the marsh and walking a short distance to the beach. Plenty of space for our family of eight. We especially loved being together on the back porch, listening to all the birds. What a great marsh view! Planning our vacation and communicating with the owners was incredibly easy. They truly worked around our schedule to accommodate us.

Fantastic place to stay with Family

This house fit our group of 7 adults and 3 children (3 and under) very well. The bed rooms and bathroom layout gave plenty of private space, while the shared areas were large and comfortable for our group. The community pool was right across the driveway. The commute to the beach is the only downside, but it is clearly communicated in the listing. The photos on the listing are very accurate but the space is even more beautiful and inviting in person.

Great stay

Very happy I chose this home for a long weekend with friends. From start to finish, the owner was extremely responsive. This home is exactly as advertised, and more importantly, as pictured. There’s a ton of space, plenty of bathrooms and the many decks make the views and sunsets, spectacular . Our favorite was the rooftop, as well as the sun porch, after dark. The home was also squeaky clean. If the stars align, we’ll definitely be back next year.

Couldn't ask for more from a beach house!

We've stayed at several different kinds of beach houses over the years and this is hands down the best one we've stayed at so far. The home is so well-appointed. There is truly something for everyone at this home. Whether you want to read or get some work done in the quiet library, watch a movie as a family in the main living area, play games in the game room, or sit and listen to the sound of the wildlife in the screen room (without being attacked by insects!), it truly does accommodate all kinds of guests. We really appreciated that everything was labeled in the kitchen, as well as the light switches. The check-in and check-out instructions were very clear. We are so happy we found this home and we cannot wait to come back next year!

Loved it!

We have been coming to Bethany Beach for over 60 years. As a grandmother, with my adult children, living in different States, I still want my family to experience a week together in Bethany. This home is a wonderful place for just that! There was plenty of space so we all could spread out. We love the fact that it isn’t jammed in between homes. Also it is such a pleasure getting to experience the more natural setting of this home. The owners were wonderful to work with and genuinely seemed to care about the quality of the home. I would highly recommend this home.

Family Celebration

My family had an amazing time, the home was very spacious with amazing views(just as beautiful as shown in the pictures). I gave this property a 5 because the home is amazing however, there was a strong mildew smell in the house and the vents in the ceiling had condensation. This may have been caused by the heat wave that came through the East Coast, not sure. But anyway the smell did fade some during our stay. Everyone enjoyed themselves and suggested we return during the holidays. Amazing floor plan with amazing views!!
