We had a wonderful vacation! We had 16 children plus grandchildren over the two weeks. Crossing the highway was no issue. The beach was amazing! We loved the private spaces for bedrooms and baths. Went crabbing twice. Everyone should rent this home.

Private, Peaceful Community

If you want a small beach town with shops and good food minutes away, but need your privacy and quietness with family and friends…choose this rental. Know the highway needs to be carefully crossed with the family, but you can always drive 1/4 mile away to the state park beach with fisherman. Clean, extra large townhome for all your family and friends to hang on the top floor or enjoy alone time on the balconies. The pool is clean and great for kids. The views and sunsets mean many pics. Make the reservation now, or others will.

Beautiful property but no real view

The property is beautiful. It is 4 stories so be prepared for lots of stairs. The kitchen and dining room are on the fourth floor and bbq is on ground floor so if you plan to bbq and eat inside be prepared.There is really not much of a view and no ocean breeze. The beach is across a busy four lane highway. It was no problem to cross but the decks on that side of the house were very noisy from traffic. The other side of the house looks over the parking lot with a partial view of the bay. See photos for views.The host was very responsive and informwd us when the property was available early for checkin. It is spacious, beautifully appointed and clean.

Fantastic Beach Vacation Home

The property was delivered as advertised. Kim was an excellent host. Kim communicated very frequently and was extremely responsive to any questions or inquiries that we had. It was extremely convenient having the beach chairs and umbrellas on property and the pool was a welcome addition to the property with the little kids. I only knocked down one star on location as you have to cross a 4 line highway to get to the beach which was stressful at times with the children. This is by no means the fault of the owner but there is no crosswalk which feels warranted given the speed cars tend to be traveling at.

This was our first trip to Delaware Beaches and the first trip away with all the kids and grandchildren. The description of the property is accurate. The location was lovely. We liked not being in Rehobeth or Dewey. There was ample room for all 13 of us. The kitchen is very well stocked. The villa is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Having access to tons of beach chairs, toys, carts etc. was terrific.Kimberly was amazing! Extremely attentive and very responsive. She went above and beyond when my daughter in law mistakenly thought there was a pack and play crib listed in the description. I had texted Kimberly to inquire not knowing and even though it was not listed she had a brand new one sent to the villa! It was lifesaver. She stayed in touch and it was evident that she truly wants her guests to be happy and enjoy their stay. Unfortunately our trip coincided with a hurricane so we only had a couple beach days. Luckily there is enough to do in the area on rainy days. Crossing the road to the beach was not that bad. The beach was perfect. Quiet and ideal for the grandkids. We loved that there was a pool too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great stay

Terrific place. Spacious, clean and close by to Rehoboth or Bethany. Owner is super communicative and friendly. As others have noted, the complex is off route 1 so there is a bit of noise and crossing the street to the large and quiet beach does take a bit of patience, but these were not deal breakers by any means.

Fun Family Vacation

Our family had a great time away from the Midwest to experience the ocean and beach while in DC for our daughter's special occasion. Kimberly's communication was as fantastic as our stay! Easy walk to the beach or bay with the chairs and umbrellas and cart we were allowed to use. Condo was clean and decor was very nice! We rented sheets and towels from Sheets at the Beach and they were fantastic too! Our grandson ( and family) didn't want to leave!!! Fun memories were made!

Best time ever!

My kids, their spouses and my 4 grandkids had a wonderful say. Plenty of room and a lot of space to make this vacation one of our best. We enjoyed views of the bay and the easy access to the beach right across the street. The grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the dock where we caught enough crab for all of us. Kimmie responded quickly to anny questions we had and the home came with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!!

Very nice, clean house!

Everything about this house was very nice. Lots of space for the family and everything you could need during your stay - especially the beach toys, cart and chairs! Only difficulty was the amount of steps for older parents and crossing the highway with the little ones but outside of that highly recommend this home! Close distance to Bethany and Rehobeth yet nice private beach to avoid the crowds. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Family Get Away

We had 9 adults and 2 children (under the age of three) for a week long family vacation. The beach was an easy walk from the complex, even for the 2 year old. The host had plenty of chairs, toys and carts making for an enjoyable day at the beach. The multiple decks were nice and an added bonus for the various adults who had to do some “work” while on vacation. We enjoyed drinks at Starboard and dinner at Harpoon Hanna’s, Bethany Blues, and Matt’s Fish Camp. Kimberly was a very attentive and responsive host.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Shangri-la. The house is beautifully decorated and the views were great. We enjoyed having the living space on a separate floor from the bedrooms. We definitely got our exercise in with the stairs! LOL! Kimberly was great to work with and she even put the crab pots out for use prior to our arrival. I would absolutely recommend stay here.

Bethany beach

Wonderful, clean and SPACIOUS rental. We had 4 tween/teens and 4 adults. Dining table comfortably sat all 8 of us. Also, we could all fit comfortably in the living room for movie night, etc. Also, fully stocked with beach chairs, sand toys, kayak, life jackets, etc. They really thought of everything!!!! This was our first time staying in Bethany beach and the beach across from the rental (though you have to cross a 4 lane highway to get to it) wasn’t overcrowded and the waves were awesome!! Also, we were ok with it but just for other renters to know there are no lifeguards on this section of the beach. Overall, awesome place and beach!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Bucks

Our family has always wanted to own a part of the Bethany community and want to share that same experience with others. Our two children, Carter 13 and Camille 11, are the perfect age to spend lots of memorable time at our favorite destination.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been vacationing in Bethany for almost 20 years and we simply love it. My wife Kimmie and her family have been coming since she was a child and this is her father's favorite place to be. We have spent the last ten plus years checking out real estate but financing proved rather challenging. When we found this little slice of heaven tucked neatly between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Bay, we had to find a way. Our solution was to enjoy it in the early fall and late spring and share this unforgettable experience with other families like yours. We sincerely hope you enjoy our property and its glorious surroundings.

What makes this property unique

Less than 250 steps to the Ocean, less than 30 steps to the Bay, a short bike ride to the Indian River Inlet to the North and a short bike ride to the town of Bethany to the south.
Unmatched views of the Bay and Ocean from 6 large decks.
Remarkable sunrise with a great cup of coffee and a glorious sunset with a glass of wine.
Community pier into Bay, beautiful blue swimming pool and serene, sandy beaches all with steps of each other.
