This cozy, one-story home is located in a community with an 18-hole, par-61 golf course and is about 2 miles from the beach. Enjoy Salt Pond's amenities for a fun golf getaway or a week at the beach. There are plenty of activities for the whole family. A short walk from the house, the community center offers indoor/outdoor swimming pools (depending on season), well-equipped fitness center, tennis, basketball and sandlot volleyball one block away. Nearly is a launching area for small boats for access to the Salt Pond (and to the network of canals to the neighboring inlets) and plenty of tree-lined streets and paths for walking, running or biking. The house is also right around corner from the brand-new Harris Teeter grocery store.
The house is spacious throughout. The family room has vaulted ceilings, bright lights, a fireplace and plenty of seating room. Depending on your mood, you may choose to relax watching cable TV or DVDs or instead you may wish to take advantage of the business center, which has a computer, printer and high-speed internet access with a wireless network.
The master bedroom has a queen bed, a large dresser and closets. Its bathroom has a jetted tub and a shower with handles for safer access. The second bedroom has a split-king bed with a large dresser and closet. With a cable outlet and television, this bedroom is perfect for kids and adults alike. This bedroom shares a large bathroom with the third bedroom, which has two twin beds, an armoire, closet and a cable outlet.
The bright kitchen is large and well equipped. With early-day sun and pleasant view of trees and the cul-de-sac, the kitchen is a nice place to be, whether you're preparing or enjoying a meal. With seating for a total 13 both at the table and the bars, the kitchen is big enough for large groups.
If you prefer to entertain elsewhere, the porch and the backyard offer nice alternatives. The porch is screened-in and is ideally suited as a pleasant sitting room for lively discussions under the fan. The backyard has a patio with charcoal grill and plenty of space for the kids to run and play. Kids can also play in the adjacent wooded lot or just let loose in the cul-de-sac, which has almost no traffic and is within easy sight from the kitchen.
Bethany Beach is named the "Quiet Resort" and has a family atmosphere. There are amusement parks, many great restaurants and nightclubs, and bay water activities. Rehobeth Beach is ten minutes to the north and offers discount malls, more great restaurants, and tree-lined streets. Ocean City and Assateague Island are directly south.
Families or couples preferred and pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis. The check-in is Saturday for weekly rentals. Please call for partial week availability.
Note: The facility fee for use of the amenities in the community center is about $80 for a pass of 20 “uses” (1 “use” allows 1 person all day use of facilities which equates to $3/person per day) -- cost subject to change. Greens fees are separate but reasonable. Navigate to the URL below the rate section and click on the "The Salt Pond Golf Course" tab for golf details.

THIS WAS OUR THIRD TIME THAT WE STAYED IN THIS LOVELY HOME. NICE COMMUNITY THAT IS QUIET AND PEACEFUL, BUT NOT FAR FROM THE GROCERY STORE'S AND RESTAURANTS , AND BETHANY BOARDWALK & OCEAN. VERY NICE AREA AND HOME , SPACIOUS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. ALOT OF TREES WHICH MAKES IT REALLY NICE ALSO. OUR DOG ROCKY ALSO ENJOYED HIS STAY.

House decor stuck in the 80's -- home needs attention

Posted photos must be 10 years old. Exterior maintenance of home is over grown (lots of grass/weeds growing in the gravel driveway), gas grill was rusted and scattered into pieces. Furniture was old and worn. When sitting on the couch, you sink uncomfortably into the clutches of the wooden frame. All bedding was at least a decade old; one comforter had blood stains. Kitchen was barely stocked with the basics. The home needs attention - at present, it is resting on laurels of years past. If your a golfer, the home's location is a plus.
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. However, I was surprised as yours was the first negative comment, since we began renting our home 6 years ago! It didn't help that you arrived immediately after the hurricane hit the area and damaged some of the outdoor items that you mentioned. I was also surprised that our home was different than what you envisioned, because the photos are exactly as the house exists today -- other than some of the bed spreads and the yard, which changes all of the time. Please note that we regularly make upgrades to various aspects of the home. In fact, we replaced the bed in one of the rooms two years ago, the bedspreads during the summer and the grill right after you left. During the next year, we have planned various upgrades, including a new computer/printer, a new couch and changes to the landscaping. We hope that you will give us another try next year, because we consistently have very happy renters!

We have stayed here for a week two summers in a row and it is perfect!! We had plenty of room to spread out and the location can't be beat!! Two minute drive to the beach and Harris Teeter within walking distance. We really appreciated that we could bring our golden with us - and he settled right in as well!! Thanks Ignacio for letting us stay in your awesome vacation rental!!
Owner response:It was great to have you guys back again... with your golden! And, as you say, the new Harris Teeter just a 2 minute WALK away definitely helps out with those last minute grocery runs. :-)

We were very pleased with our stay in Salt Pond. The house was pretty close what we expected from the listing. The rooms were bigger than the pictures made them seem. The owner was very easy to work with. The grocery store and pool/community center are all in walking distance. We had a great time and would consider staying there again!
Owner response:I'm glad that you guys had a great time. Yes, our house is really well positioned - walking distance to the grocery store, the community center and pool, etc. I'm happy that you've joined the long list of our happy renters! Have a great rest of the summer.

We thoroughly enjoyed this home in the beautiful Salt Pond community. The location was convenient to everything ( shopping, beaches, restaurants, etc). The home was comfortable, well furnished, and perfect for us. The owner is extremely nice and outstanding to work with. I would highly recommend the property and we are looking forward to a return visit.

We stayed just a few days ago and the plce is very nice, the location is great, the community pool and fitness center are handy and very clean;and there is large super market just minutes away.

We loved the open floor plan of this home! It has a nice big kitchen, a lovely screened in porch and nice sized bedrooms. We enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhood in the evenings and loved that the grocery store is right around the corner. It was so nice to be able to bring our dog with us on vacation! The owner is great to deal with and made everything so easy for us! We would love to stay here again!

Thank you for the use of your wonderful home at Bethany Beach! It was our first big family vacation!! We had an amazing week at the salt pond community. The house was very clean and comfortable for us all--which is a large family. The dog enjoyed it too! It was very quiet and convenient to everything. We enjoyed sleeping in so peacefully in the mornings. Pleasant to walk around with the kids and go to the pool --which was wonderful during such a hot week!! It was great to be able to walk to the Harris Teeter to shop and pick up items we needed. We had lots of great meals out at restaurants and enjoyed visiting Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City so closeby. We highly recommend this house and will definitely come back again. It was a pleasant experience to work with Ignacio and we thank him very much!!
