Lots of space!

The house was much bigger than I even imagined and enabled everyone to spread out and not feel like they were on top of each other. The outdoor space was private and cozy, and the indoor space was comfortable and met all of our needs, I especially like the set up of this house for my elderly parents who only needed to navigate three steps to get in. I would definitely book this house again. Thank you, Eleanor for a lovely place.

Great for familes/large groups- loved the screened porch and open living areas!

This is a really nice place with two large living areas plus a screened porch. Plenty of glassware/dishes, extra beverage fridge, and the beach amenities in the shed (chairs, bikes, boogie boards) are welcome extras that you don't find in many other rentals. One detail we missed- neither of the bathrooms have a tub, which may be an issue for families with small children. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with.

Thank you for your input and great review. I thought that using "shower bath" would explain the bathrooms, but I have added that there are no tubs. I appreciate your suggestions!

About the host

Hosted by Eleanor Lacklen

Host profile image
We are beach people and have had eighteen successful years of fun beach going in Bethany Beach for my family and friends. We have also shared our cozy house with many happy renters.

Why they chose this property

My family has always loved and vacationed at the beach. I wanted to have a beach house within about 3 hours from our home in VA. We also wanted a pool and recreation facilities that are easy to get to and use. This house has all we wanted and it's located in a family neighborhood within walking/biking distance to the beach. The large screened front porch and the windowed Florida room in the back create 3 living areas inside! We love this house and so do our renters!!

What makes this property unique

This house has all you need on one level. There are four steps to enter the house, but the rest is on one level. The two separate sleeping areas allow for separation of families if you want that. There is an outside shower for "after beach" rinsing and plenty of room for kids to play away from the adult conversations or a game area and a talking area....your choice! It's furnished comfortably.
