The house was amazing top to bottom! Clean, roomy, and had everything we needed. The canal view was peaceful and an added bonus to the short walk to the ocean. We’ve stayed in several homes in Bethany and this is definitely a favorite for my family!The owners provided tons of details and information prior to arrival. They were quick to address any questions and a pleasure to work with!

My 3 generation family had a wonderful stay. House is bright, airy and very well appointed. Large enough for privacy and quiet from up to downstairs. Mindy was lovely and very accessible. The location has pretty, relaxing views of the canal from the master bedroom, the back porches, and living room. And, also, an easy bike ride, short walk or drive to the beach and the business strip in Bethany Beach. I would highly recommend this property and hope to stay again!

Lacrosse Tournament Stay

Had a great stay during a lacrosse tournament in DE. Great location, beautiful house! The boys loved hanging out on the dock, playing corn hole and "trying" to catch some fish. Easy access to the beach and downtown Bethany. Can't say enough great things about this house and we will definitely look to stay again in the future.
