Wifi was out the majority of our stay. While it was a hardware issue that the owner did try to resolve, we had to fix it ourselves. The owner was very gracious about it, communicated about the issue promptly, and offered a late checkout as compensation. Excellent accommodations otherwise. The private beach is less a beach and more a few rocks.

Thank you for your stay, John. Recall, I gave you a choice to either call the Internet company and they would walk you through the process or a technician could arrive at the home. You chose the call. We agreed that was the best course of action. The private beach had much erosion from the late Spring storm. Efforts are underway to rebuild the small private beach area for the upcoming season.

Bethany vacation

The place was fine. There were some issues and I will do my best to make sure moving forward to make sure the property has a property manager. We have always booked with Vacasa for our vacations and never had an issue.

Hi Danielle. Thank you for your stay. I understand, maybe a guest prefers another property management company. Our property is managed and we helped you immediately with opening the front door smart lock, locating the circuit breaker box to reset the breaker and any other questions you asked. The issues were not caused by property management but by the guests and we resolved promptly. Enjoy your day. Art

The kitchen had all necessary utensils, and the deck was comfortable though the view was of the development town houses. Difficulty at beginning of our stay - had to contact host about getting 3rd floor bedroom electricity on (had to reset the breaker); remote for dining room TV was never found; took several tries to get on WiFi; had to hunt around to find soap for 3rd floor bathroom. There are 3 flights of stairs between entrance and bedrooms. Quite challenging for old knees.

Home away from home

My family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed the location and homey feel of our home. This was our 2nd summer here in this house and really enjoyed it. Just had 1 issue but reached out to Art and responded very quickly on how to fix it. Thanks again for sharing your home with us.

Great stay

Fantastic stay, I love that the owner was available throughout my stay. The only thing was the internet quality was not the best. However, everything else was so top notch that I had to give it a 5. The neighbors were also very friendly. I would definitely return.

A little something for everyone

My family absolutely loved our stay at Sunny Cove! The house is clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are all very spacious, 2 master bedrooms with bathrooms attached is perfect for 2 families staying together. The kitchen has everything you need for the week, dishes, pots, pans, utensils, even storage containers! The microwave, refrigerator, and oven work wonderfully and are very clean. There is a little beverage fridge next to the bar which was a plus! The dining table has plenty of seating as well. My morning coffee was very enjoyable on the patio looking at the bay. The patio furniture and cushions are all well kept. The laundry room is perfectly located on the first floor so your pool or beach towels can go directly into them after a long day by the water. The house is located in a perfect place and the community is very quiet and safe. They have a fishing dock and mini little beach to sit and enjoy. We spend many hours there while one kid fished and the other just wanted to play in the sand. If you are a kayak or canoe family this is a perfect spot for you as they have entey ways straight off the boating docks for you to use. Ocean beaches were a 10 to 20 minute drive depending on where you wanted to go for the day with Bethany Beach being the closest. The Towers beach was our family favorite! There is a grocery store about 2 miles away and a yummy restaurant with ice cream just 1 mile up the road that we enjoyed riding our bikes to.

Nice property

This is a lovely property in a quiet area. We were looking for a rental with a pool and that allowed pets; this fit the bill. Close to several DE beaches; we even went to Ocean City, MD. House was very clean, too.

About the host

Hosted by Art

My family has vacationed at the Delaware shore over many generations. I have original photos of my great grandfather on Rehoboth Beach in 1919. We are so happy to share our home with you. I'm retired now and live between my home here and Playa Del Carmen Mexico. I love the beach life. Enjoy your stay.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Sandy Cove the moment we drove into the community. We have vacationed for many years at the Delaware shore either in Bethany, Rehoboth, Dewey, or Lewes. We love it and happy to share our little getaway.

What makes this property unique

Sandy Cove makes you feel like you are at the beach because we are right on the bay with 180 degree water views from the community. We enjoy the close knit neighbors, the private beach, dock to fish or catch crabs. Easy access to our boat slip and to the pool with a wonderful view of the bay. All the homes remind me of being in Key West. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we do.
