Bay View Park is 1/4 mile south of York Beach/South Bethany. Very close to the charming 'quiet resorts' of Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island and 15-20 minute drive to more "action" in Rehoboth or Ocean City.

On the edge of a vast Nature Preserve this home has 180 degree views ~ a very special Nature Lover's retreat.

Short walk (1/2 mile) to the beach or quick drive with permit parking along Route 1 access road -- only for Bay View Park visitors.

Three Kayaks and a Canoe available for your use (at your own risk). Plus 2 "beach" bikes -- they only have 1 gear-- and an assortment of beach chairs, sand toys, etc.

Many puzzles and games and other kid toys on hand. One large screen "Smart" TV -- tune in to your favorite program accounts.

If you have a boat, we have a dock. There is a public boat launch into Little Assowoman Bay about 1/2 mile south of our Bay View Park Community.

SPRING and FALL are lovely at the beach -- bird migration on, quiet walks on the beach. Quiet and lovely but not lonely -- Bethany and Rehoboth's restaurants and area attractions are open and uncrowded. FALL especially has continuing warm water, warm weather and the best sunsets of the year.
