Sparkling clean and recently updated end unit townhouse in a the peaceful, wooded community of Steward’s Watch. This is a wonderful family friendly, sunny end unit with a swimming pool, tennis court, pickleball, and boat ramp for kayaking, canoeing or fishing/crabbing. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms (master suite has full bath with an easy walk in shower, 2 bed rooms with hall bath/tub and half bath downstairs). There is also an outside shower.

Perfect location: the home is 1/2 mile to the downtown area (0.7 miles to the sand). It is a pedestrian friendly walk or bike ride. The unit also includes a free parking pass for the beach and downtown. The trolley stop is a short block from the front door for a fun and scenic ride that only costs a quarter.

Private Community: This is one of the few Bethany Beach communities that offers a swimming pool! It's a perfect way to wind down after a day at the beach. Steward's Watch is beautifully landscaped and maintained. The streets are tucked into a quiet wooded neighborhood that provides added safety for kids to bike and play. There is a private boardwalk leading to the community dock on the Bethany Canal where you can enjoy crabbing, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. If you are looking for additional exercise, there are also tennis courts to enjoy. Bike and boat rentals can be found nearby.

Bethany offers a family friendly experience including free weekend concerts at the bandstand, children's shows at the town hall, an inviting library, bike paths, shops and restaurants to enjoy. The boardwalk is the perfect place for a morning stroll, ice cream while enjoying a concert or dinner overlooking the ocean. The town sponsors weekly outdoor movies on the beach and bonfires with marshmallows for families to enjoy.

Property: Our home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The generous sized master bedroom has a queen bed, skylight, and a full bath with walk-in shower (with pull bar for safety). The second bedroom also has a queen size bed and full closet. The third bedroom has sturdy wood twin bunk beds. There is an upstairs full bath with tub and shower. The kitchen and baths are all recently renovated. There is an open concept floor plan with oversized windows and a sunny breakfast nook. Screened outdoor deck with gas grill for outdoor dining or relaxing in the evening.

There is large kitchen table for gatherings, an outdoor table and a sunny breakfast nook. A washer and dryer are on the bedroom level.

There are TV's upstairs and downstairs and free wifi available. The living room includes comfy and cozy seating on Restoration Hardware sofas and oversized chairs with down cushions.

Our family has been spending our summers making memories in Bethany Beach for 30 years. I am happy to be a resource for you as you navigate activities, restaurants, or relaxation. This is a listing that we are confident you will want to revisit! We love our Steward's Watch home and hope you do too!

Check-in was easy, owner responsive, clean, comfortable, light-filled with inviting decor. Quiet location and a nice walk to the beach even in this off season. We'll be back when the sun is summering. Pickleball court was close and fun and we enjoyed the peaceful walk to the canal with lots of birdlife around. The kitchen was well equipped. Beds comfortable. Loved the cozy reading nook.

We had such a nice stay at this property. It was exactly what we needed for a quick getaway. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. We went out to eat, so mostly used the Keurig and fridge. The screened porch was lovely. It is a perfect location--walking distance to the beach and downtown shops/restaurants, but tucked back in a quiet, wooded, peaceful community. We are looking forward to going back in the summer when we can use the pool, trolley, and pickleball. More excited now that we checked it out.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Van Sice

Host profile image
Our family lives in Arlington, VA with our 3 sons (2 in college and 1 in high school). I have been spending summers in Bethany Beach my whole life and our kids have grown up going there. We have so many wonderful memories and traditions--a respite from the busy life outside of DC. Bethany is a great place to wander and explore. We spend hours a the beach, pool, kayaking, and relaxing on the back porch.

Why they chose this property

This home has been in our family for many years. We were the first owners in Steward's Watch and have watched the community and the town of Bethany evolve. Despite the development, Steward's Watch has remained a quite, gem tucked back away from the congestion, but still walking distance from the downtown and the beach.

What makes this property unique

I am very particular about keeping the property clean and fresh for each guest. I don't use a management company because I want to make sure it always meets my standards. We steam clean the carpets upstairs regularly and I always check the house at turnover. I am happy to help with plans and suggestions for things to fill your time during your visit, regardless of your stage of life and preferred activity level.
