Fabulous House!!
We had a family gathering at this wonderful beach house. The kitchen has everything that you need. We loved having the grill on the deck outside the kitchen. A beautiful neighborhood, short walk to the beach, and garage filled with beach chairs, bikes and toys. Very good communication with the host. I highly recommend this house for your next trip to Bethany Beach!

Bethany beach home
We had a great time at this lovely home, and had plenty of room for our extended family. The boardwalk to the beach was less than a half block away which you could see from the house. It is the best stocked kitchen we have ever had, and all appliances worked well! There were many bicycles, beach chairs, everything we could want. We could tell it was a well cared for home. The owner was extremely helpful in every way. We will certainly come back to this one when staying on the east coast. Thank you, Doug, for being so gracious.

The house was more than spacious. The balconies all worked well for outside time. The inside great room was great to gather at night. The best part of this house was its location to the beach, like 100 feet!!! As a cherry on top only maybe 35 or 40 minutes to ocean city for a day trip!!!

We could not have asked for a better place to get our family together! We had plenty of room, the kitchen was amazing! We had one person that was unable to walk due to surgery so the elevator was definitely a plus. The owner was very responsive and we would highly recommend this property. Definitely 5 stars!

Great house in an excellent location!
We rented this house for a big family vacation. There were 13 adults and 4 children. The house was perfect. The layout made it easy to have the children on one level with their parents (2nd level) because it has four rooms on that level with bunk beds and three queen beds. Everything was very clean and the house is fully stocked with everything you need...towels, beach chairs, bikes, beach umbrellas, coolers, pots and pans, etc! The beach is a short walk away and not crowded at all. We had a wonderful time and Doug was a great communicator. We would definitely like to rent again.

Excellent family house!
The house was wonderful! Fully stocked kitchen and amazing garage with almost too many bikes, chairs, umbrellas, and more. We had a multi-generational gathering with people from 82 to 2. Everyone had a great time. The multiple outdoor showers and elevator were really used. The Host, Doug, was very responsive and friendly. We had a user error issue with the elevator and he immediately responded and walked me through the easy fix. Multiple guests, especially those with little kids or canes, remarked on how great it was to be so close to the beach. When leaving the dunes, you can see your house just a few steps away. Great for a quick moonlight stroll or a rush home to deal with kid issues. Will definitely try to make the gathering at this house a yearly event.

Senior citizens getaway
We have been renting vacation homes for 15 years. But never one as gorgeous as this one. There are 12 of us and the house could have accommodated many more. This house would be the envy of every cook. It has everything you can think of in it. The family room is huge as well as the bedrooms and bathrooms. But more importantly is the homeowner. Doug is so kind and attentive. Any questions we had , he was back to us instantly. We would give him a 10 as well as the home. Definitely are planning on renting again.
