Great place to stay

The house was clean and a lot of extras. The grandchildren caught crab in the canal and there was room for them to play. They also had kayaks to go down the canal. We were very pleased.

Not the best

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had some issues with the home, bathrooms small not good for anyone that is not small but we made them work, 1 night stand in each room even with rooms with large bed or more then 1 bed, water stains in ceiling of one room and water damage around windows. Not really much storage in the room with 3 beds. Its a mobile home that has additions. Not sure if you are allowed to use the hot tub but the water was green so we didn't even ask. The sunroom was such a cute room to sit in and enjoy a family meal. The back yard is nice with a nice big shower outside for getting clean after you drive back from the beach. The canal was cool to have right there, we used the Kayaks they had and the crab pots it was nice of them to offer those items to use. The host didn't respond to messages but they did come to the property for something they needed and they looked at the water issues and had a contractor look at it so hopefully the get that fixed. They were a nice couple they even brought their own coffee pot over and some k cups because the coffee maker leaked. I will never use again Wilgus rental company again. The agent in charge of the listing was not very kind, when I explained things they were almost disregarded at one point she hung up on me. I would never use the Gale force linen Company they use either. No one informs you that your linens that you pay $210 dollars to use will be outside in a canvas bag. The linen company refused to refund us when we had no idea they were in the bag outside we figured that they were used nasty linens waiting to be picked up. I figured I must have missed the linen option on the listing when booking it. It wasn't listed on the VRBO app as a linen charge so we bought our own towels and made the beds work. The rental agent and Gale force linen company owner, not compassionate, both very rude and mocked me and my family for not knowing they were our linens sitting outside, for 2 days.

Overall clean with nice furnishings. BUT the dishwasher had a very strong foul smell.

Clean Rental; ideal for pet owners

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is ideal for pet owners and/or boat owners. Yard is spacious and back boat launch on the bay is beautiful and comfortably furnished. Rental was clean but lacked some basics amenities (there were not enough pillows if futon was used, for example, no extra pillows or blankets, no cleaning supplies or basics like salt and pepper, sugar, oil and vinegar, etc). I personally do not care for room deodorizers so removed them during our stay. I also suggest moving the futon to back room from entry foyer to make it a more reasonable sleeping option. I’d also provide small end tables for reading lamp, glasses, etc, on both sides of king and queen beds.

Great “near the beach” home

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Less than 10 minutes drive to the ocean beaches in Bethany! Beautiful backyard on a canal where you can keep a small boat to go into the Indian River Bay. Quiet street. 3 bedrooms. Fully equipped kitchen. 2 full baths. Great, responsive owners. There’s even a garage. A bonus is that your dog is welcome!

Bow Street

We did enjoy our stay at Bow Street. It had all that was needed. We loved the back room and patio for the mornings. It was very quiet. Although the first morning, the neighbors lawn service were mowing and weed whacking very early. Other than that it was quiet. We did have to sweep and vacuum when we first arrived, other than that it was clean. I think we left it cleaner than when we arrived. It was close enough and yet far enough to the beach and shops. We would certainly recommend this place to others.

The Home was exceptionally spaced out with furnishings & layout. I would stay again.

The check in process was quick; however, there could have been better communication with the fees that were applied after check out. Overall, I was satisfied with the outcome though. Thank you.

Canalside Retreat

Loved the canalside location and outdoor patios. Nice sized family room and sun/screen porch areas. Easy 10-minute drive to Bethany for beach time; we also explored the very close James Farm Ecological Preserve and went kayaking there.

We loved the property.

It was close enough to the beach (8 minute car ride) but far enough from the congestion of Bethany Beach. The canal out back was so nice to sit by. Would be great if you had your own water toys. I would add some dressers in the back bedrooms. Fairly clean but some giant dust bunnies in the bathrooms. Would definitely rent again.

Wonderful Stay On The Lake

My sister, her spouse, niece, and children had a wonderful time in this charming home on the lake. We had a beautiful time celebrating our mom’s 80th birthday.
