Great spot for a group!

We had four couples and a baby stay for a late season beach holiday and had a perfect stay! The rooms were comfortable and spacious, and it was an easy short walk to the beach. It was a small drive to groceries, restaurants, so we mostly stayed around the house. Would recommend and we hope to stay again!

Amazing house and host!

This house was amazing and perfect for our family! Communication was great with our host, and they were very accommodating. The house was well taken care of and clean! Great size and plenty of rooms to make it comfortable for the adults, teens, and kids! It’s an easy walk across the street to the beach, and very short drive to the Bethany Beach boardwalk. We were all able to relax and after spending the day at the beach with lots of areas to sit outside and inside. The beds were really comfortable. Having the beer fridge and ice maker made life easy for us! Looking forward to staying here again!

Perfect location for a peaceful beach getaway

The house was beautiful and everything was exactly as described. Plenty of space for six adults and four kids. The house was a short easy walk to a beautiful beach and the downtown area was a quick drive. They had lots of beach gear there to use including a beach caddy which was SO helpful. Everyone in the neighborhood was super nice and made you feel at home. The only thing I would suggest is to bring some temporary blackout shades if you don't want to wake up at the crack of dawn.

Family Reunion

I was very pleased that Emma had purchased bunk beds for our different gendered teenage grandchildren. The location was ideal. Not a bad walk to the beach even with a 16 month old. We were surprised though at the level of cleanliness. For example, there was quite a bit of visible pet hair throughout the house considering it was not a pet friendly listing.

Christine, I’m very glad that you enjoyed the bunk beds that we purchased for your stay at your request. This is the first we are hearing about the pet hair issue however. On rare occasion we do allow hypoallergenic service dogs to stay at the property … but most importantly, we take cleanliness extremely seriously and wish you had let us know during your stay as we would have addressed right away! We live in the area and are always available to resolve any service issues if they come up. Best, Emma

Amazing beach getaway!

We had a wonderful stay here at Bethany Beach. The house was exactly as described and pictured, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with supplies which made cooking rather than ordering out very convenient! The decks and patio were perfect for sitting in the evenings. The beach was a very short walk away, easy enough even with two babies and a toddler. The hosts were easy to get in touch with and communicate with- they quickly responded to our questions. I’ve stayed in several locations in Bethany Beach and this house by far is my favorite! We can’t wait to book again!

South Bethany getaway

This was a gorgeous house, definitely more so than was captured in the listing photos. The location was super convenient to the beach (an easy walk), and the setting on the canal, with kayaks available, was lovely. The house was clean and beautifully furnished, and has a great outdoor shower. The kitchen was fantastic, as was the gas grill. The hammock on the second floor deck was a family favorite to read and catch a nap after a day on the beach. The hosts were super responsive to all of our questions and we had a super smooth trip all around. We can't wait to go back!

Perfect beach house

This is house is gorgeous - better than we had imagined. It is super spacious, nicely furnished, and had everything you could possibly need for a vacation rental home. If we return, we would definitely stay here again. The owners were wonderful to work with - very responsive, kind, and gracious. Thank you Emma and Ryan for a wonderful stay!

Absolutely Perfect!

Our family and I had a wonderful week stay! The house is perfect for a big group. Plenty of bathrooms and space! The canal street was quiet and calm but close enough to things that we didn’t feel isolated. The walk to the beach was about 10 minutes, not bad at all! We just carried a bunch of games and coolers to the beach so we would sometimes have someone drop us by car. But still that process was super quick. The house is not too far from the town of Bethany. We even walked there one day (longer walk but we enjoyed it). Some family members joined a local tennis club and played tennis everyday which was nice! Ryan and Emma were so responsive and accommodating when I was trying to figure out my stay. When there was an issue or question, they responded so quickly. The garbage disposal stopped working and Ryan came over right away to fix it. Overall, it was a perfect stay for our family and I would definitely come again!

Nice place with friendly owners

This is nice property, clean, seemingly newly renovated with a nice outdoor shower (ideal for beach). Generous in allowing use of the kayaks located on-site. Only knock, in terms of accuracy of listing, was the offer to add the rental of power boat located on-site, which actually was the deciding factor between this house and another. When I inquired about the boat rental, it did not seem like it was actually something they wanted to offer. For the record, if I were the owner, I would probably not even offer it since once out of the S. Bethany canals the local waters of little Assawoman Bay are not easy to navigate without experience. Overall, it was a great week for me and my family and we would return in the future. Thanks.

Hi John, it’s Ryan. First off, so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. But totally our fault on the boat, there was some miscommunication between Emma and I. You are right, the waters are a bit tricky but I just looked back at the communications and given your experience in the area I certainly wouldn’t have had any issues renting to you! Wish you had mentioned to me when we met. But regardless, if you decide you would like to come back next year, happy to let you use it for a day or two at no additional charge. Best, Ryan & Emma

A beautiful week!

The house is located on a canal, and a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the early morning, drinking coffee while listening to the birds and see the occasional kaya row passed by. The children loved the beach! The kitchen is well equipped, we cooked, we grilled and we ate out in the many wonderful restaurants nearby. Three generations enjoyed a week of fun, under one roof in a beautiful house!
