Walk To Beach From Updated Waterfront Dog Friendly Cottage

Welcome to the lovely South Bethany Blue Cottage, a renovated dog-friendly home just 1.5 blocks from the quiet guarded South Bethany beach. It is also just up the road from the dog-friendly (unguarded) Fenwick Island beach, and 1 mile to the Bethany shops and boardwalk. Sleeps 6. You must be over 25 to rent this house/ no groups. Non smokers. Dogs accepted on a case by case basis, please send more information on who will be staying and if you have a pet.

This sunny beach cottage is bright and airy, and you will love relaxing on the screened in porch facing the canal, and watching the sun reflect on the water. It has everything you will need to enjoy your get away. Free wifi, a 42” smart TV in the living room with sound bar. A fully equipped kitchen and a large gas BBQ grill with side burner. An electric range and dish washer; a refrigerator-freezer, microwave, toaster, coffee maker. Fully quipped with dishes, bowls, cups, pots and pans, cutlery, utensils, and of course wine glasses!
Vinyl plank flooring reminiscent of driftwood is easy-care. Painted throughout and installed new bathrooms in 2016. The open floor-plan makes it a great home for gatherings.
The home comfortably sleeps 6+ in spacious and cheerful rooms. There is space for a crib (or two) in the master bedroom which features a brand new queen sized bed, and an ensuite full bath. The other bedrooms each have two twin beds in them.
Air conditioning and ceiling fans will keep you cool. Baseboard heat in each room for the guests coming for a fall or winter get-away. New windows installed in 2020.
Full sized washer/dryer in case you run out of clothes (but who needs lots of clothes when you are at the beach).
We have a small dock for fishing or just sitting idly on the dock near the bay…

Bring your own bed linens and towels, or spare yourself the trouble and extra laundry by renting a package from the local rental company (see links section) .
They also rent out strollers/joggers, wagons, beach chairs, umbrellas... you name it!

Drink your morning coffee right by the Canal!
This lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage is nestled just 20 feet from the Canal. A screened in back porch gives a wonderful view. The cottage is extremely clean and furnished with all you’ll need for a relaxing stay.

Perfect
This home is exactly as described, if not better. On the bay, but a short walk to the beach. In close proximity to all restaurants and shopping area. The home was spotless. Great walking area for dogs, as there is very little traffic. Would definitely rent this home again. Perfect for families, or a group of friends.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Scanlon

Host profile image
Dana and Leo Scanlon and their two daughters have enjoyed spending time in South Bethany at Aunt Betty and Joan's beach house since the early 1990s. Dana works as a real estate agent in the Bethesda, MD area, and is licensed in DC and Virginia as well. Her favorite color is blue, like the sea and the sky. The cottage has been blue its "entire life", and she saw no reason to change that, only to embellish it. She enjoys horse-back riding, practicing the art of dressage, and gardening. Leo is an IT security professional, currently posted at HHS in DC. He is the handyman, Dana is the decorator and marketing professional.

Why they chose this property

We think you will love this property because its a sunny and updated house in a low-key area within a short walk to the beach. The reputation of Bethany as "the quiet resort" has a broad appeal to those who want to spend time with their friends and family, just relaxing. Being at the beach, with access to the small village, the little shops and eateries nearby is, in our opinion, the ideal get-away. The 4th of July parade in Bethany is the stuff of family legends and memories. If you crave additional high end restaurants and shopping, Rehoboth is 20 minutes North. If you want loud music and the bar scene, there are other places to go for that-- its just not what you will find here.

What makes this property unique

The screened porch overlooking the water of the canal is the perfect place to read a book, take a nap, or enjoy happy hour with your family and friends.
We have a dog, and have made this a hassle-free dog-friendly home, which included removing all the carpets. We do not charge additional pet fees.
The furnishings are fresh and bright , because we feel that's what you should have at the beach. Your beach cottage shouldn't look like a dark log cabin in the woods!
