About this property
3 Blocks to Beach. 5 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms - Family Spaces, Kitchen, & Porches
Our home is a classic beach house located just a short walk (3 blocks, 7 minutes) to the beach and boardwalk (also near the trolley stop). Oakwood Street is a wide, open, and private street. Our lot is large, with open parking (4+ vehicles; grass is ok). Guests enjoy the expansive front screened porch, with plenty of seating, and a large backyard deck. They tell us it feels like a home away from home.
There are five bedrooms:
- Guestroom 1 - Master bedroom - king bed, sitting area/desk, and bathroom - Guestroom 2 - king bed - Guestroom 3 - king bed - Guestroom 4 - bunk bed (queen mattress on bottom, twin on top) - Guestroom 5 - twin bed and a bunk bed (full mattress on bottom, twin on top)
Our house is ideal for a family summer beach vacation or a non-summer getaway. (There are tons of things to do in the "off-season" - e.g., shopping nearby with free parking, restaurants with no wait times, great road cycling right out the front door, etc.).
Our home is conveniently located near the beach and town, yet it still maintains a private and uncrowded atmosphere, making for a wonderfully relaxing vacation.
The home was originally owned by the former mayor of Bethany, who designed and built it in the 1980s. The previous owners remodeled and expanded the home in 2019. Today, it is known as "the cedar house."
The minimum rental age is 27. This is a family home in a family beach town. Please, no senior week requests.
The primary renter must provide full names and ages of occupants within 12 hours of the booking request. Failure to do so may result in the request being denied.
Sheets and towels are not provided (including kitchen towels, drying mat, etc.), and pets are not allowed.
Welcome and enjoy!
