Gated North Bethany Beach Community with Lifeguard
- Minimum stay:Contact owner
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
The Delmarva beaches are the best on the East Coast and the Bethany beaches are the best of all! Have a great relaxing week - or weeks - in our spacious and comfortable as well as well-maintained contemporary 4 bedroom, 3 bath (with an extra 1/2 bath connected to the outside shower) home which is steps from the beach walkover.
Our Sea Del gated community is one of the few that has a lifeguard watching over the beach during the summer. The house comes equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys so that you don't need to pile them in your car or purchase them after you arrive. The kitchen is well equipped to hold and prepare food for your group - of course you may elect to go out to some of the several good near-by restaurants on some nights.
Part of the ritual our family and friends have is to take h'ors deurves and beverages down to the beach in late afternoon or early evening after having showers and getting out of bathing suits before having dinner. We also have a puzzle going on the game table much of the time - which sometimes has to be moved to play cards or other games. Our house is open and airy with lots of glass sliders so that you can create a cross breeze thru out.
The large screened porch is a great place to relax and read and have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Although the great room, dining area and kitchen are all open to each other, there are several spots throughout the house for individuals to retreat to for a quiet time to read or work. Known as "The Quiet Resort", downtown Bethany with a Boardwalk, beach shops and restaurants is 1.8 miles by beach or Route 1 and people often walk or bike down to get ice cream or taffy or t-shirts.
Rehoboth Beach is 10 miles in one direction and Ocean City, MD is 10 miles in the other. Both have additional great shopping and restaurants, theaters, etc. The Atlantic Ocean and its beaches are great for swimming, fishing, and surfing. The Bays, located directly behind us, are good for kayaking and crabbing. Vacation here and have it all!

Bonnie, I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home. Coffee on the porch in the morning, family dinners in the kitchen in the evening, puzzles at the table in the living room...it really was an ideal, very comfortable vacation environment. I enjoyed working with you and getting to know the gorgeous Delaware beaches (we all got a kick out of the dolphins playing so close by). A good portion of the conversation on our last day was when to come back. Thanks so much for a great experience. Many memories were created during my family's week at your home. ( I rode a bike for the first time in 40 years!) I can't wait to return. MaureenDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

What a great vacation home! We had a wonderful visit to Bethany and did not want our week to end. This was our first time staying outside of town and we were all in agreement: we loved your home. Highlights include: wide and nearly empty beaches protected by friendly lifeguards, a short walk to the beach for little feet, the house is comfortable, clean and well laid-out and decorated in a nice way, the kitchen was stocked for us to make meals...thank you for providing us with a great place to have our vacation!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

The beach home is very open, bright, and clean. We have a 4 yr old and a 2.5 yr old so having the house just a walking path away from this private beach was just perfect. Sea Del Estates is very quiet as well if you are a family looking for that as we were. Lastly, Bonnie is just the nicest person! Even though we've never met face to face, she made us feel at home through her emails and speaking to her on the phone.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.

We have been to Bethany many times, but this was the first at 17 Sea Del. We fell in love with your house. It is open, spacious, with easy access to the beach. It was extremely convenient to have beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, and toys available for our use. And also to find spices, dish soap, and laundry soap all provided! We have 3 teenagers and they loved each having their own room and TV. We also enjoyed the large open family space for just hanging out. We rented bikes and it was an easy ride in town. It really felt like "home" and we were sad to leave! Would definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We just returned from our family vacation at 17 Sea Del. What a wonderful home. The photos shown on the website are exact! We were sooo pleased. Very clean upon arrival. All the comforts of home. Our family is already talking about a return trip. Our daughter's 10 year old asked if we could stay another week! Can't say enough about this beautiful place. Beach was gorgeous, so was the weather! Would definitely recommend! The size was perfect for our family of ten. You could all be together or find your own space if you wanted. The beach is just a very short walk. There was also a small playground with baby swings for our ten month old granddaughter. She just loved them!! Thank you for sharing your home with us.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Beautiful and spacious home and only a short walk to the beach. What a great place to relax and spend time with our 4 children. Everyone had a great time! Betheny Beach and its boardwalk are very family oriented and close by, which we loved. There were plenty of beach chairs and toys for the sand. Having a lifeguard on the private beach was a definite plus as we have some younger children. We did some day trips to Rehoboth and Ocean City MD which were at most 25 minutes away. We cannot wait to go back next summer!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1979
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Sea Del Estates:
We first vacationed in Bethany in 1968 and came back every summer after. In 1979 we purchased our lot and had our own home built. Bethay has grown tremendously in the years since but the beach remains the same and we still love it.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We feel we are in the ideal location with the widest beach, we always have a life guard, have an easy walk down the beach to the Bethany boardwalk, and an easy drive to Rehoboth and the great outlets.
