House was perfect for our annual vacation to Bethany. We hadn't found this listing before, and we were thrilled with the flexibility of going to the beach or staying back and enjoying the pool. There was plenty of room for my family (with adult children) to hang out and play games when we weren't enjoying the beach/pool.

A Relaxing Beach Week

The owner was very attentive to our needs. We wish we were closer to the beach but we were able to enjoy the pool, the pier, and the state beach, which was only a 10-15 mins drive away.

We had a wonderful time vacationing here. The pool was a big hit with the whole family from seniors to little kids. From the dining room you can see the Salt Pond. The community crabbing pier is just down the block. Can't say enough about the hospitality of the owners.

The house was just what we wanted. A nice house with a pool to get our family together for a nice week. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, AC worked great, pool was clean and refreshing. We were close to the Boardwalk and Bethany Beach (2miles), 3 miles from Delaware State Park beach which we were advised to go to from our fantastic host. She provided parking passes for us for the Beach for a couple of days. Rosemary the Host was close by to respond to anything we needed and her advice on everything from when to crab on their private dock, to what beaches were best and where to get best food all were on target. House was only 1 mile from supermarket that was open very early in the morning. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place to relax with your family.

The Pilot House was absolutely wonderful for our family. A welcoming home with the bonus of a relaxing pool area where we spent much of our time. Our host Rosemary was super responsive and had great information about the area. Bethany is a fabulous beach with a small town feel and the location of this house was fabulous ... close enough to be convenient, but a little ways away from the noise and bustle of town. I highly recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

The Pilot House was the perfect location for our family vacation! We found your home to be spotless and nicely furnished, and very well supplied. The pool and the location of the house provided fun for everyone from our 3 toddlers to our golfers and bikers. It was convenient to the beach and boardwalk, and the grocery store. We were also grateful for the many local attractions on the rainy days!

Great Family Vacation Home

Great home to rent if you have a large family! The house is spacious, clean and best of all you get your very own pool. The beach was only minutes away. There are kayaks provided for you as well as a dock that you can walk to to go kayaking or crabbing. A great place with different activities for the whole family.

Everything was perfect except the weather but apparently Rosemary the host, couldn’t help with that! Wish we could have enjoyed the beautiful pool more but so glad we had a gorgeous home to spend most of our rainy days in. Rosemary was a fabulous host and wonderful to talk to. The welcome basket was great and so unexpected. Amazing place to stay!!

Laurie and her family were so delightful, tidy and thoughtful! Despite the challenging weather, they remained so cheerful and full of energy. Even when the weather was damp their spirits were not. Off they went biking, hiking and kayaking.....Truly troopers and kept the property neater and more organized than before they arrived. When they left it looked as if the cleaning crew had already cleaned! The towels were folded with such unbelievably neat corners and such precision, I wish I could take lessons from them! Bestest people ever!

Family Vacation 2024

Our family - eight adults and four children - ages 7-14 - had a wonderful week in Bethany at this property. The house was perfect and the salt water pool kept kids and grownups happy when we we weren’t at Bethany Beach, Rehoboth, or Ocean City. The location was perfect - as was the weather. The location provided running trails, access to a kayak pond, and was only a short drive to Hocker’s grocery. All this made for a very pleasant week away!

Wonderful family vacation!

We really enjoyed the Pilot House ! The pool is so nice. We have young grandchildren who cannot be on the beach all day and the pool was great for them. The house is laid out conveniently. You could get away from the crowd or join in. Salt Pond was a big hit too. We had many walks to check out the ospreys, herons, jellies, and minnows.

Wonderful vacation home

Spent a wonderful week in this beautiful home. Accommodated the 12 of us very nicely. Kitchen well stocked and happy to see a Keurig. Some of us enjoyed the kayaks on the bay and crabbing from the pier only a short walk away. The free parking passes for the beach were appreciated. Since it was a very hot week, the lovely pool was probably our favorite pastime. The owners were very friendly and helpful when needed. Would not hesitate to stay in this rental again.
