About this property

Beautiful home with elevator and amazing views! Kayaks, Fire Pit and more!

5 BR (3 en-suite) home in Ocean View. Water views from all 4 decks, rooms and patio! Relax sitting on the decks enjoying such beautiful sunsets or sitting in a screened porch enjoying your family dinner at a banquet table. It doesn't stop there - you have a new canal front patio, with kitchen, fire pit and new kayak launch for an easy way to take out our 4 kayaks! Take the elevator with groceries from the bottom floor up to the kitchen. Great for all ages not to have to do stairs!! All rooms have a smart tv!! 3 Kings have your own bathrooms and the queen room and twin over full bunk and another queen share a Jack and Jill bathroom. There are 2 bathtubs in the house for your little ones!l Great location- you can take our kayaks and paddle out to Whites Creek to the Indian River Bay. Crab traps will be there for your use. Enjoy the outside pool table and games with family. And this is just hanging near the house. When you want to venture out you are only approx 3 miles from Bethany Beach and 5 miles from the State Park Beach. If you want to have a calm water day with your little ones, James Farm Ecological Preserve Beach is the way to go which is only 1.5 miles away. Chairs, umbrella and sand toys will be provided so less to pack. We provide bed linens and beach towels. Bath linens are available to rent. Please let us know ahead of time. An outside shower is great so you can feel refreshed from the sand. If you have your own boat, jet skis, paddle boards bring them!! Great place to get out there with your paddle boards thru the canal to white creek to Rehobeth bay!! This house is a great house to visit all seasons because of the views and its coziness especially near the holidays!! For your little ones the Millville boardwalk that has an arcade, mini golf, ice cream and go karts which is only a couple of miles away in ocean view, also in ocean view is the John West park, a great playground (see pics)

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The location was unbeatable. The house was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. We loved spending our mornings on the screened in porch and our evenings unwinding after a full day by the water. The host was clear and communicative from start to finish. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful, memorable beach trip. We’d love to come back again!

Our golf group has been visiting the area for 6 years and this property has been the most enjoyable. We loved the large open main floor, tremendous kitchen space, along with a spacious living and dining area. Enjoying beverages in the enclosed porch is mandatory. The property was spotless. The amenities all first class and in working order. Our stay was impacted by the unruly nor'eastern and a full moon. No golf, no chance to enjoy the kayaks or outdoor grill, etc. We appreciated the host staying in constant contact with our group due to high tidal concerns of Bethany Bay. Highly recommend this property as our 5 star rating shows.

An incredible house! The elevator was great for unpacking. We had 14 people staying there and it didn't feel too cramped. Well equipped for house, water, and beach fun. Also a well-stocked kitchen for cooking for a large group. They truly thought of everything! The only drawback is the minimal storage for personal items in the bedroom with bunkbeds, but we made it work by utilizing the loft alcove. We docked our 17' power boat, but it was a bit tricky with their lift and jet ski dock in place. Luckily all worked out. The bonus was a really nice outdoor shower under the house. (Would be nice to include pic of that.)

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and couldn't have asked for a better getaway. The house was truly immaculate when we arrived!! Every room was spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything needed to feel right at home. It's clear the owners take great pride in providing a first-class experience for their guests and we couldn’t have been more appreciative!One of the things we loved most was the location. It’s situated on a quiet dead-end street, surrounded by the bay and a canal for small boats. It was incredibly relaxing to sit outside, enjoy the surroundings, and unwind around a large, beautiful fire pit.We spent several evenings gathered around the fire pit, enjoying the ambiance, and quality family time. Just feet away was an outdoor grill and burner, which allowed us to cook dinner, and make homemade funnel cakes. There is nothing quite like enjoying delicious treats outdoors in such a beautiful setting.When we arrived, the host left us a goodie bag, filled with s’mores ingredients & other items. This was a wonderful, unexpected surprise, that truly reflected their attention to detail and hospitality! We didn't have the opportunity to make s'mores during our stay, but we enjoyed making them the following weekend.Overall, this property exceeded our expectations in every way!! During our drive home, we realized we left a large Stanley cup. Before we even had a chance to contact the owners, they packaged it, and UPS’d it back to us.

A great place for a family getaway. The property is amazing, the host was attentive, and the location is a quick drive to anything you could want in Bethany or Dewey. Our October weekend featured a beautiful fall day and then a Nor’easter. Victor kept in touch, made sure we had information about the property, local restaurants, and the tides (the water was up to the house for a few hours). The house is a 5 minute drive to the grocery store, several restaurants, and a brewery / beer and wine store. Downtown Bethany and all the restaurants in between are a 10-15 minute drive. We will be back.

2025 Family Vacation

Our family of 15 enjoyed our stay at your home. With just a short ride to the beach the kids were able to enjoy the ocean. We took the kyaks out a few times. The kids also tried there luck a crabbing. Only a few small were caught then released, but it was fun for them. The house met all of our needs. The elevator was a nice feature when moving in and then moving out. I would highly recommend this VRBO rental.

Host profile image
We love the beach and the water!! So much that we had to buy this house that is right on the canal with awesome views!! If you just decide to hang home you can wake up to a beautiful view while having your coffee. You then can go out to the backyard and hook up big rafts for you and the kids. They could stay out there for hours. You also can take them for a canoe ride out on the white creek and venture to sand dunes if you choose to. There are plenty of traps for crabs if that is your cup of tea or venture out to go fishing!! The outside kitchen is great for cooking up a nice barbeque!! You can choose to go out on an adventure with the new kayaks we bought for the house. At night enjoy family game night which includes an outside pool table. This is all just hanging around the house and not spending any money!! What a deal!! Then on nice days venture out for a day at the beach or into Bethany for shopping, and restaurants or heading to ocean city or Rehobeth for rides and amusements!! Or party in the next town over which is Dewey!! A great location to get to them all!! As you can read in between the lines we are all about family and giving them all new experiences that last a lifetime of memories!! So please enjoy!!

Why they chose this property

You will know how special it is the first time that you take the paddleboards, canoe or kayaks on the canal and see the enjoyment that everyone has in their own backyard! It will take an effort just to leave the house. But once you do you will see the perfect location to visit other beach towns for different reasons. We also provided you with a guest book that will help you get around with whatever you may decide to do for the day!!

What makes this property unique

A house on the water that is brand new with an elevator!! You can't beat it!!
