Map & Owner's Profile
Private Peninsula, Beach & Private Pool - Gorgeous Sunsets
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, The Cove
North Bethany is a high value up-and-coming area which is almost fully developed yet outside the city limits. We wanted a place where we could be on the bay to observe nature at its best (we've even seen seals) but within walking distance of the beach (minutes) and I could walk to get a cup of coffee (a small restaurant is nearby). We got all three in Waters Edge plus a gorgeous home. You are welcome to come and share it with us.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our lovely peninsula offers spectacular views from every window. Mother nature lives at our doorstep and shore birds area always entertaining. Privacy galore!
Large Community Swimming Pool, Tennis & Basketball Court available for renters
Walkway to Ocean front using a raised dune bridge over the preserved sand dunes. A short pleasant nature walk to a very nice beach.
Long Water Views west toward the Indian River. A bird sanctuary in the natural wetlands. Canoeing, boating, etc.
A marked Channel to the Indian River for boating. The ocean inlet is minutes away.
Undisturbed Wetlands rich with wildlife of all sorts
Entrance to The Cove Gated Community. Requires a gate code for entrance.
Owner's Map of Private Homes, The Cove
We love North Bethany Beach, a true quiet resort area. Executive living at its finest in a gated community with easy access to a rich variety of activities in the immediate area. This includes a private swimming pool, tennis/basketball court, nearby sparkling ocean beach, the slow culture of Southern Delaware and racy Ocean City, MD. Did I mention birding and discount shopping - no sales tax?

We were fortunate enough to enjoy one of the spectacular sunsets on Friday evening. I have seen some gorgeous sunsets in the Keys, coastal California and Europe, but they would be hard pressed to compete with what we saw locally. It was really breathtaking!

Thank you for opening your home and for the countless memories that we will hold in our hearts – especially for our kids. Many thanks.

We had a wonderful two weeks. Your house is beautiful. It felt like the first time renting down here because we experienced things for the first time this year. The sunsets were spectacular - we could watch them over and over again. The house has everything a renter could want. We had an amazing vacation and made more great memories.
