Why Rent This House? --

Built in 2003 and designed by an award-winning architect, this fabulously appointed, multimillion-dollar home features ocean views and breathtaking interior spaces. Fondly known around Bethany as 'the purple house', this property is among the area's most unusual, luxurious and spacious rentals.

The house sits just one lot away from the ocean and four blocks from Bethany’s town center — within steps of restaurants and specialty foods shops, boutiques, and ice cream parlors. And it is a short drive from 140 outlet, tax-free shops in Rehoboth Beach.

What Does the House Offer?

Ideal for families and large groups, the house sleeps 19, with three kings, one queen, three singles, 2 sets of bunk beds, one full bed, and a den with a queen-size sleeper sofa. The large open-concept kitchen features an array of cookware and countertop appliances, two refrigerators and two ovens. Amenities include computer (Hi Spd Intenet and WIFI), five TVs with DVD players and a home theater center. A sensational setting and destination in itself, this home was named 2004 Rental House of the Year.

  • My family and I spent a whole week at the "purple house". It was the first time we had all been on vacation in many years. It was wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay. There were fifteen of us and more than enough rooms. Two of the things we enjoyed the most were the fantastic open kitchen, where we cooked a huge family meal together. Also, the beautiful deck overlooking the ocean. We sat there many nights as a family and just took in the scenery. We had a great time and can't wait until next year!!

  • We celebrated my dad's 80th birthday at this beautiful house. The openess of the second floor and well appointed kitchen definetly helped as we prepared the birthday dinner. You could see the ocean from third floor, what a relaxing area. This was the first rental home I've come across that had very comfortable beds/mattresses. The close proximity to the town was appreciated by all. Thank you for a great celebration weekend.
