Fun stay near the beach!

This was a perfect place to stay for a big group. The backyard is as pictured and well equipped. Owners were easy to communicate with and gave great local recommendations. The only downside (we were warned at check-in) was an unstable/weak wifi so may not be ideal for remote workers.

40 Woodland Ave is Perfect for young children!

Nine of us - 5 adults & 4 children - loved staying at this home again this year. It's clean, well-appointed and perfect for the kids to play in the back yard - sand pit with trucks, shovels, etc. The huge yard is great for water play, running around, tee ball, frisbee, etc. There are lots of toys on site. Love the back porch - perfect for morning coffee while kids play in yard and evening s'mores in nearby firepit & sparklers! Ricky is amazing - always responding quickly to any need that pops up. He's the best! We highly recommend 40 Woodland Ave for your family gathering! Susan Truss

Good for families bringing a boat and/or with smaller children

The host was very responsive to questions we had before our stay. The house was clean and had good outdoor space. We were able to park 3 cars plus a boat trailer in the driveway. There were a few minor maintenance issues that should be looked at (e.g., a leaky coffee maker, cabinets that don't fully close, no butter knives or small cups), but nothing unmanageable. We had originally planned on having 10 people stay (4 adults, 5 teens, 1 child) but only 8 ended up coming. If everyone had come, the sleeping situation would have been too tight. If 10 people are coming, it would be better for families with smaller children who can share the full-size beds. It was a good location (close to trails, a marina, 2 miles from Bethany Beach boardwalk) and worked well for us - we would definitely consider renting it again.

More than we expected

Ricky was very helpful from the beginning when we decided to stay at his home. Communication was clear and response time was good. When we made it to the home Ricky met us there and answered all our questions. Gave us some helpful info for restaurants and where to get fresh crabs. The house was absolutely wonderful! Our group was 4 adults and 4 teenagers. Still plenty of room and space to be comfortable. The beach was not close but also not a long drive at all. We didn't want to be close to the boardwalk/beach craziness. So the location of the house was perfect. The only "complaint" would be the wifi wasn't very good. But that's not even a real complaint. Just took it as a sign that we didn't need to get stuck on electronics! Would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfy home away from home!

Great Spot for families with young children

We were 6 adults & 4 children ages almost 2 to 7 and had a super week here. Loved the yard, volleyball court, fire pit & back porch. The extra living room made a great playroom. Short ride to the Bethany Beach! Landlord is so helpful and responsive! Minor drawbacks: Coffee pot leaks, 2 bedrooms don't have closets (more hooks on back of door and clothes trees would be helpful). Front door lock is a bit confusing. But overall, it's great! You'll love it!

Terrific property. Our kids loved the huge yard (with homegrown tomatoes and grapes). Very short drive to the beach, restaurants, and all attractions. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful. Thank you for opening your home to us. We hope to be back.

Great house, centrally located

We were absolutely thrilled with the house. It was exactly as described, plus there were some upgrades made from the time we booked. It was clean, the owners were friendly and accommodating, and it was great for the kids. They genuinely enjoyed the big back yard and the volleyball court. The location is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood which is right in the middle of all the places we like to visit. (We enjoy everywhere from Rehoboth to Assateaque). Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again next year.
