We have rented many properties over the years at Bethany Beach from Watermark, Villas at Beach Cove and more. Our first time at Ocean View Beach Club was fantastic. We came with several school aged children in two families. The home is beautifully furnished and decorated with everything you need from plastic ware for the kids, bikes, beach gear, towels, table soccer, Disney Plus and Netflix subscriptions, and board games. The furniture is beautiful and comfortable. There is a digital lock (no keys needed) and linens provided, making packing so much easier. There is also a backyard patio with semi-shaded seating area and powerful infrared gas grill. The owners are delightful, flexible and attentive.
There is a mid sized community pool and excellent fitness center with dumbbells, treadmills, stationary bikes and weight machines. The pool is shallow and not suitable for lap swim but perfect for playing and lounging. There was not enough chairs and umbrellas though. Access required an additional $30 per person per week. They required a paper wrist band to wear for the whole week. Few wanted to wear them the whole week (while sleeping, at the beach or at sports) and the front desk was unforgiving about lost or torn wristbands. It’s unclear why you cannot simply use your Drivers License or other ID since they take your information when you pay the access fee. Also, payment is electronically tracked.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We plan on coming back.
