A great beach getaway

Our stay at the house included three families with 4 kids ranging from 4-6. The house was well appointed, had plenty of room for each family to have a room/bathroom, and one big room that fit all of the kids. The location was super convenient to everything and access to the pool was great.

Beautiful family getaway

This was our second time staying at this house and it was another beautiful vacation! Everything about the house and location is perfect. We had 10 people in the age range of 1-70 and everyone had so much fun! A quick drive to the beach, shops, and ice cream, and a quick walk to the pool was extremely convenient for everyone. Clean, beautiful home in a great location. Can’t beat it!

July vacation week

This property was wonderful. It’s a new property so everything in photos is pretty accurate to what it looks like when you arrive. There was lots of space for our extended family to spread out and plenty of sleeping options. The community pool was great and the location to Bethany Beach was great. We enjoyed our family week and will look forward to staying at this property again in the future.

Beautiful house in a friendly community

This was our second family trip to Bethany Beach. Ocean view was a friendly community and conveniently located near downtown, restaurants and the beach. The house was well kept and well stocked with amenities. No complaints. The community pool was a short walk away and was a lot of fun for the kids with its shallow depth. For days at the beach we would recommend Fenwick Island State Park. It was only a 10 minute drive and had reasonable parking rates for all day.

Very beautiful home

It is a beautiful house with many nice amenities. We enjoyed the pool and barbecue. We had three families, each had their own bedroom and bathroom. There was plenty of space for all. If I had to say something negative, that is not the owner's fault, it is the pond next to the property where geese come and do their business all over the street, sidewalk, and driveway. The baby ran in the grass and had it all over his feet.

Great location for families!

This was our first time visiting Bethany Beach, DE and it did not disappoint! There were 7 adults and 3 kids ages 1-6, and the location of this house, as well as the size of the bedrooms, were perfect. It was a quick walk to the pool, on a quiet street for the kids to ride their bikes, and a short drive to the ocean, shops, mini golf and restaurants. The Ocean View Beach Club facility was beautiful and well-maintained and the pool lifeguards were extremely vigilant. Our only minor complaint, was that the garbage was overflowing in the garage and smelled into the house, however this isn’t necessarily a homeowner issue, it’s an issue across the board in the development. Garbage only comes once a week so it piles up pretty quickly, but the property manager promptly came to the house to help rectify the situation. We quickly fell in love with the area, and will absolutely be back next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Tom / Karl

Host profile image
For over 10 years, our young families have made Bethany Beach our summer tradition, traveling down from New Jersey to enjoy a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. What started as a simple family vacation quickly grew into an annual highlight—an opportunity to reconnect, recharge, and embrace the joy of being together.

Bethany Beach holds a special place in our hearts. Every visit feels like coming home, and over the years, we’ve introduced countless friends and families to this charming destination. One by one, they’ve fallen in love with the same things we cherish: the pristine beaches, endless outdoor activities, incredible food, and the warm, welcoming people who make this place so unique.

What makes Bethany so magical for us isn’t just its beauty—it’s the transformative effect it has on everyone who visits. There’s a distinct moment we see in our family and friends, often right after their toes touch the sand: the weight of the world lifts from their shoulders, and they start to remember the small things that truly bring them joy.

We’ve had the privilege of watching countless memories unfold here—parents and kids laughing during beach games, friends sharing stories around a firepit, and loved ones enjoying a peaceful sunrise. These moments of connection are what keep us coming back, year after year.

Sharing Bethany Beach with others became a dream for us. We wanted to create a space where families like ours could experience the same peace, connection, and timeless memories. That’s why we decided to open our home to you—so Bethany Beach can become part of your story, too.

Whether it’s your first visit or you’re returning to relive cherished memories, we hope our home offers everything you need to unwind and reconnect. From our family to yours, welcome to Bethany Beach—your home away from home.

Why they chose this property

When we first visited this neighborhood, it felt like stepping into a postcard-perfect community. The quiet streets, lined with charming homes, were alive with the laughter of kids playing and neighbors chatting like old friends. What truly drew us in was the warmth of the people—whether it’s a friendly wave from a fellow bike rider or a chat with a local shop owner in town, everyone makes you feel like you belong.

We love how the community comes together, from casual gatherings at the clubhouse to peaceful walks where you always meet a smiling face. With its unbeatable proximity to Bethany Beach and neighboring towns full of unique shops and restaurants, this neighborhood offers the best of both worlds—tranquility and connection. It’s the kind of place where lifelong memories are made, and we’re so grateful to share it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Our property is more than just a vacation home—it’s a retreat designed for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable memories. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, it offers a safe, peaceful space where kids can play freely, and adults can unwind. The home features a high-end kitchen perfect for shared meals, a cozy loft for movie nights, and a private patio for grilling and enjoying the fresh coastal air.

What truly sets us apart are the thoughtful extras: bikes to explore the neighborhood, beach chairs and umbrellas for sunny days, and games for all ages. Within the Ocean View Beach Club community, you’ll enjoy access to resort-style amenities, including pools, saunas, sports courts, and even a firepit for evening gatherings.

With its unique blend of quiet charm, family-friendly design, and unparalleled amenities, our home stands out as the perfect place to create lasting memories with loved ones.
