About this property

Inviting Oasis & Water Views Less Than 1 Mile from Beach! In-Town Parking Pass!

Welcome to Change of Sea-nery! Conveniently located less than one mile to the beach and its charming downtown, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhouse is ideally located in the Villas of Bethany West community, where you’ll be steps away from the community’s outdoor swimming pool, basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts, playground, and complimentary beach trolley stop.

The townhouse is beautifully appointed and features a fully stocked kitchen opening into a living room with a wood burning fireplace and a queen-sized sleeper sectional in the living area. A large rear deck with a propane grill, an outside shower, and pond views makes this townhouse perfect for relaxation or entertainment.

The upstairs master ensuite bedroom and its king-sized bed as well as the guest bedroom/bath offer a sanctuary to recharge after a day in the sun. Restaurants and retail are within walking distance, as is the community pier, which allows you to access to the Salt Pond and Bethany Loop Canal for kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, crabbing, or fishing. You’ll also benefit from having an in-town parking permit to make getting to the beach and around town a breeze!

This was my second time at this property; first time booking myself. I couldn't have asked for an easier stay and a more convenient location to the beach and stuff we wanted to do. The playground on the property started renovations halfway through the stay (out of the host's control), but seeing what they were doing made the kids excited for next year's vacation. Only had to contact the host for an issue that ended up resolving itself, but the they promptly responded and we had a wonderful conversation.

Hi Janelle, Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We give visitors the opportunity to bring your own linens and/or contact the local linen service, whose information we provide. Providing linens is not customary in this market and because we don't provide them, we are able to offer our visitors an earlier check-in time more often than not. This means more time at the beach, which is the priority feedback we've received over the years.

About the host

Hosted by David and Lauren

Host profile image
We know that you have lots of rental options and we thank you for choosing our home for your stay this season in Bethany Beach. We are excited to host you and your group, and we encourage you to make yourselves at home during your stay!

Our family recently purchased 743B after many years of saving (and waiting) for a property in the VBW to become available. I (David) have a special place in my heart for the VBW as it was the spot where my family vacationed yearly when I was young. That first week in August for us (rain or shine) was always guaranteed to include fun at the beach, in the pool, at the basketball or tennis courts, playing board games, fishing, and numerous trips downtown, where we enjoyed mini golf, searching for souvenirs, and eating lots of ice cream.

Now that Lauren and I are parents, we look forward to being able to share those experiences and create new memories with our kids. We hope that you can do the same, whether you are with family, friends, or friends who are like (or maybe even better than) family. May your time here be filled with relaxation, laughter, solitude, or whatever you need to unwind and re-charge.
