Response from VrboOwner on 1 Jul 2025
Thank you Lora! I’m glad you and the kids enjoyed my home and community. It was wonderful having you as a guest and would welcome you back!
We had an excellent stay. We have stayed in this development before and have always loved it. Our house was very clean, the home was so nicely decorated, felt like home. Our owner was very available if we had any issues. All info was presented clearly and in detail so we were comfortable right from the beginning. Would highly recommend this listing.
We had a great stay at Patrice’s home and highly recommend it. It’s in a great location for the beach, shopping and sightseeing. There is also a large community pool and clubhouse with amenities.
Quick trip to beach for the weekend... love the stay and Patrice was so easy to work with. She checked on us as soon as we arrived and made sure we enjoyed our stay.
The home was comfortable and as-described, and the property manager was proactive and communicative. We did not use the community facilties, but they looked nice. Being close to a grocery store also was a good perk. Be aware that sheets are not provided and towels must be laundered and put away prior to leaving, if used. As we drove, we were able to plan accordingly and it was not a problem, but this would've been a challenge had we flown in to visit.
I cannot give enough stars for how easy Patty made the entire process for us and how beautiful her home was. It was spacious, clean and comfortable! She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and was very helpful with aspects in planning our trip. Bayside where her home is located is close to everything and our kids loved the clubhouse, indoor pool and outdoor pool and game room.
This part of Delaware is beautiful in the Fall. This house was located on a tree line street full of autumn colors! The house was immaculate and offered a full kitchen which we appreciated not wanting to eat out every meal. Location was great, a short distance from Bethany, Ocean City, Rehoboth. Our host was spot on with communication, responsive and friendly. I would recommend!
My family and I very much needed this vacation. The property owner was a pleasure to work with and the use of the grill was greatly appreciated. The house layout allowed our family to be together on first floor and yet provided privacy with the provision of 3 televisions on first level. The property owner was timely in responding to our questions and needs.
We loved everything about our week long stay at this home! It was spacious, well stocked and the owner was very helpful. She provided so much detailed information and suggestions. We’ve stayed at many rental properties and this one truly felt like home. If you are traveling with children, I’d highly recommend the extra fee for the clubhouse to use the pools. Pools were clean and not crowded at all (there were times we had the entire indoor pool to ourselves!).
The house is amazing and we really enjoyed the neighborhood with all the friendly neighbors. The home is very well stocked with everything you could need, a nice screened in porch, and very spacious bedrooms. We wanted a place that had things to do other than go to the beach. This place has an indoor and outdoor pool, tennis/ pickleball court, and a place to fish/ crab!
The host is extremely responsive and she is very helpful too when our fobs didn’t work the first day! Don’t hesitate to book this place for your stay. It’s an easy 6/7 min drive to Bethany beach/ boardwalk.

Great house and location!
Patti was great to work with and her house was perfect for our family. 5 minutes to Bethany Beach and easy drive up to Rehoboth for more boardwalk and outlet shopping! Grocery store only a minute away for those essentials you can’t bring along. TV’s in every room along with plenty of room to spread out. Appreciate the beach items like chairs and games in the garage. Hose also there to clean off sand before going inside. We look forward to staying again next summer!
This place was perfect for our family of 4 adults (19-78) and 1 youngin 18! Everything was clean and the place was super clean and had a lovely vibe. It was great to have a master ensuite with king bed and a double and twin in 2nd bedroom and queen in third bedroom. The clubhouse was just down the road about 5 houses and we enjoyed the tennis and pickleball courts. Patrice was incredible and so easy to work with.
we had to make some last minute adjustiments and she was very accomodating. Thank you.
We enjoyed our stay here so much!! From the moment we arrived we felt at home. Patrice thought of every little detail. She sent us maps and all kinds of information about the area. The house is beautiful and so is the neighborhood. It was so peaceful and quiet. We can’t wait to plan another trip. We literally just had to show up with our personal stuff, unpack and enjoy our time in Bethany!! I would highly recommend this home to any family that’s going to this area. I could go on and on about how wonderful this home was but I just think that if you’re considering renting this one don’t think about anything else!!!! Do it. It’s well worth it!! If I could give 10 stars ✨ I would!!!!
She even had shower gel, lotion, shampoo and conditioner and all sorts of things just in case you forgot yours! Again, I could go in and on!!!! GREAT PLACE TO STAY!!!!!
Everything was as advertised and then some. Patrice was a phenomenal host and available when we had questions.
Clubhouse - worth the extra money for nigh swims, as well as when raining, as our kids enjoyed the indoor pool and game room.
Location - house is towards the end of the development so it was quiet and very easy to get in and out. Plus, there is a Hocker's Market right down the street for convenience.
Porch - screened in porch was a gem for my wife and I to sit after the kids were in bed. No getting bit up and there were fun dim lights you can plug in.
Games/DVD's- my family enjoyed a wide range of DVD's and board games when we wanted to relax before dinner or wind down at night.
Beach Gear- it was a saving grace Patrice was kind enough to let us use chairs, a cooler, and a push cart for our beach stuff. Hard enough packing the car for a family vacation, but that took the stress off me not having to play Tetris with luggage and beach gear.
Beds - The master bed at this home was very comfortable, I slept like a baby every night, so no worries on the a quality mattress here. My kids equally slept great! Only reason I bring this up is because my wife and I stayed in Rehoboth at a rented house last year. The pillows, mattresses, and furniture felt like they were made from cardboard. I didn't sleep the whole week.
Probably forgetting a few other positives, but we had 0 negatives. I would definitely recommend this Townhouse and stay here again :)
This home was everything our family wanted and needed, from the beach gear to the kitchen items (Keurig, storage bags, seasonings, dish soap). With 3 adults and 3 kids, there was plenty of room to sit together and also spread out. The bedrooms were spacious, especially the master suite. The owner is easily accessible and was in contact with me prior to our stay as well as the night before we left. Highly recommend this home!
This property was even roomier than we imagined from the pictures. There was space for everyone to find a cozy nook to read in or to gather as a group. The neighborhood amenities were wonderful and provided options to workout, walk, swim and play tennis. This property is clean and has everything you would want and need to make your stay comfortable and fun. We loved it!
We abosolutely loved the property! Not only was Patti a phone call away but she sent emails with reminders and reccomendations for around the area. We referred back to her emails a few times to look for local parking, things to do, and places to eat. We had a group of 8 and that included 3 children, and not once did we feel crowded. Plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing. My family had a bad experience with VRBO before but this time it was so smoothe and check in/ checking out was a breeze. 10/10 would recommend stay here.
From the beginning, the homeowner was amazing to work with and always provided prompt and detailed answers to our questions. Since this was our first time in Bethany Beach she helped us understand the town and most importantly the parking. The house was great in a quiet and safe feeling community. The clubhouse was a nice touch to have as an option B if weather didn't cooperate. The house had all the amenities that you can think of at your own home. The addition of the beach chairs and coolers were a very nice touch since that's a few things that you don't need to bring if coming from out of town. We're already looking forward to another trip and would definitely recommend this location and home owner.
The house was great and the owner was very responsive. We were able to spread out and all have our own space. The pool was wonderful and it was a quick drive to the beach and the boardwalk. We will definitely be back!
This property exceeded our expectations! It was absolutely beautiful and very spacious! The beds were very comfortable and there was so much space for our family to spread out. The townhouse is within a short driving distance to downtown Bethany and the beach. The owner was wonderful to work with and very responsive. We would highly recommended this property!!!
Great vacation house! The host was very responsive. Home was clean and well stocked. Also had a lot of items that were needed for the beach. We would definitely book this home again.
Hi. My name is Patrice Orsini Jennette and I have vacationed in Bethany Beach for over 20 years. My sisters' families have a home nearby and I am so excited that I now have a place for my family as well. We love it here! So much to do, or simply head to the beach and do nothing at all but relax. Between Bethany, Rehoboth, Dewey, Fenwick, and Ocean City, there is such a variety of restaurants and things to do for all age groups. I have a book at the house to guide you to some of my favorites. Hope you enjoy your time here as much as I do!!
