About this property

Serene home on a pond - Bike to the beach! Linens included, bikes, game room

Welcome to "Playa Bella"!

Our home offers an open floor plan with cathedral ceilings, tall windows, and beautiful hardwood floors; an inviting gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, a dining area, and a living room for you to relax in front of the gas fireplace.

Right off the main living area, you will find a den/office where you can work peacefully or sink into the cozy recliners to watch your favorite shows on a smart TV.

The main floor also hosts a large and comfortable master suite with king-size bed and a gorgeous bathroom with Italian shower, and 2 guest rooms, each with a queen-size bed, that share a full bath with a shower/tub combo.

The 4th bedroom (queen-size bed) and a 3rd bathroom with shower/tub combo are located upstairs.

The spacious loft is set up as a comfortable family room with a large flat screen TV, using Fire Stick to access Netflix, Amazon, Pandora, and such (just don’t forget your passwords). A DVD player, books, and games are also available for your enjoyment.

The loft has room to add 2 inflatable mattresses for additional kids, should you need them (mattresses & bedding provided).

Powerful WiFi is available throughout the house.

There is also a full laundry room and a 2-car garage used as a game room with Foosball and a Ping-Pong tables. Feel free to use our bicycles to go to the community pool and tennis, local stores, downtown Bethany, the beach (beach chairs also provided), or just to take a fun bike ride and explore the area.

The outdoor shower is refreshing when you come back from the beach.

Enjoy balmy evenings in the screened-in gazebo overlooking the pond or eating al-fresco on the deck and patio (with dining table, lounge chairs, barbecue).

Please note the property is equipped with outdoor cameras for your protection.

Minimum renter's age:30 - HOA paperwork to sign.

We will be delighted to host you!

(And if you have children, you might be interested in my other house (ID#2784584) at Millville By The Sea. Just a bit further but with a dedicated kids' domain and in a great resort with a huge pool with kids splash zone ;-))

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Large

Host profile image
This home was a long time dream finally realized! We love how peaceful it is, the pond views, biking to the beach, barbecuing and eating outside on the deck, reading in the gazebo or playing ping pong and Foosball with our friends or the kids.

I love being a host!!! Whether it's hosting my family/friends or my rental guests, it brings me so much joy to see them leave happy, having created new memories with their loved ones. So I strive to offer the best experience possible by providing all the comforts from home so you only need to bring your personal items and start relaxing!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the house and its beautiful and tranquil surroundings, as well as the cute town of Bethany. It's more peaceful than the popular local beaches, and more family oriented. And there is so much to do... we enjoy biking around or walking on the beach, going to the pool or the beach depending on the mood, sailing or canoeing on either one of the bays, hosting friends, eating at the local restaurants and of course, outlet shopping!

What makes this property unique

We love biking to the beach and Bethany's boardwalk, so we share our bikes with you. You'll also enjoy ping pong and foosball tables, outdoor games, as well as the serene atmosphere.
