Perfect Headquarters for Five Day Four Night Golf Trip

Seven of my friends and I have been staying at the Nolan residence each November for the past several years for our annual golf trip. Accommodations are perfect for our group. Location puts us within 30 minutes of an array of outstanding golf courses in Delaware and Ocean City, MD. Full kitchen and outside grill make for huge cost savings on food. Always look forward to sipping cabernet and enjoying a Cuban cigar dockside each night. We can always count on a visit from the resident Blue Heron who patrols the lagoon.

Peaceful Relaxation

Our first time staying in South Bethany (always Bethany Beach). The house was perfect for our crew. We could spread out and not be under each others feet. It was very much like home for the week. We didn’t even use all the sleep space upstairs and there is a lot of room. The house was very clean and tidy. The outdoor space is fantastic. Absolutely loved being on the canal and being able to sit out there and relax. The neighborhood is peaceful and serene.

Great location in South Bethany with "Extras"

Great location in South Bethany, a half mile to the beach. Bikes at the property and the two parking tags were awesome, making it easy to take beach stuff over or head back home midday and relax. Canoe at the house was great to use on the canals! Plenty of separate spaces on the first floor to have your own space after too much family time. Upstairs bathroom was very nicely updated and outdoor shower was great after the beach. No issues with hot water or water pressure even with two concurrent showers. Kitchen is dated, but serviceable. Tons of pots and pans and utensils, but we would have preferred 3 nice pans instead of 25 old/scratched pans. The "hallway" bedroom was a little tough to manage with little kids and adults with different bed (and wake up) times, although the kids loved the bunk beds. Overall amazing location and excellent "extras" beyond the house. Thanks to Patrick for all the communication, directions etc. If we had had a problem, I have no doubt that he would have handled it quickly.

Love this place!

This is one of the best rentals we have stayed in through VRBO. The house was immaculate when we arrived. The owner answered all of our questions immediately and was always very responsive. The house is in a great location where you can walk to the beach (or short drive with the parking pass) and a few restaurants/deli. The house is spacious, and we love the layout and the fact that there are two separate living spaces so some of us could work remotely in a quiet room while others watched TV or played games. The screened-in porch is an added bonus and a perfect place to hang out and watch some of the boats go by along the canal. I can't wait to go back!

Perfect Location for Great Golf Trip

This is the 12th year my friends and I have been coming to the Delaware/Ocean City area for a five-day golf trip. Back in 2011, we contemplated a trip Myrtle Beach, SC. Instead, my friend made arrangements for us to play several courses in this area. We quickly learned that there was no need to spend all that extra money when there are so many great courses in Delaware/Ocean City area. We discovered the Nolan property in 2019. It is prefect in so many ways for our group of eight. To save money, we bring food and cook breakfast and dinner each day. Nothing better than filet mignon prepared on the outside grill. Nights are capped off with a cocktail and a cigar by the lagoon. Already looking forward to next year's trip. Will most definitely staying at the Nolan property. PS Golfers, save money by doing your own bookings at the courses. Allows you to also pick your own courses, rather than have a service add in a few so-so courses. Rum Pointe, Glen Riddle (Man O' War) and Eagles Landing in MD; Baywood Greens and Plantation Lakes (DE), all are Five Star courses.

About the host

Hosted by John & Diane Nolan

Born in Cashel, Co Tipperary Ireland, immigrated to Washington DC to live with my Aunt in Chevy Chase in 1957, had a successful career in printing production and printing sales. A father of 6 children, My wife Diane and I purchased this home in 1990 as a vacation home and named it "The Nolan's Hibernian Hideout". We have spent many a wonderful summer and winter in this home. Boating, Fishing, Dining out at all the wonderful restaurants in the area. We enjoy relaxing with our children and now our many grand children and golden retriever.

Why they chose this property

This is a wonderful property for one or two families to enjoy together or simply a couple who wants to relax. Its very quiet, many of our neighbors are year round or weekenders themselves. They are wonderful people and will wave hello to you and are quite friendly. Remember to wave hello!

What makes this property unique

The Deck/Porch is very relaxing as you can peacefully read a book or surf the internet no matter the outside weather. We have 4 TV's, plenty of board games and puzzles to keep the kids occupied. And most importantly, WIFI. Since it is a two level house, you can keep an eye on your children without actually keeping an eye on them! The middle family room has a sliding door on both sides. Our neighbor stays with her son and his children frequently and they commented how wonderful it was to see the kids in the sitting room, knowing they were OK watching their show while not actually hearing them watch their show and play. The beach is close enough to walk, and parking is easy if you prefer to drive it. The canal offers ducks from time to time, as well as canoeing, fishing or crabbing with a cold one in hand.
