We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and had a bunch of convenient amenities. We especially loved the screened in porch! Lots of kids stuff available for use at the house, which was appreciated. Close distance to grocery stores and short drive to the beach. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Wonderful House

The house was fully equipped with everything you would need for a home away from home. It was so nice not to have to bring all of our own beach items since the house had exactly what we needed for a family of 4. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for a Family!

The Sea Turtle had everything needed for a family vacation. The house was very comfortable and stocked with so many items. The shed had everything needed to enjoy the backyard, canal, biking and/or beach. A great location with just a few minutes from the beach and a grocery store across the street that has everything. The backyard was very secure and easy to see kids playing while on the screened in porch or in the kitchen! Parking at the beach with the Park mobile app was super easy and access was always just a few steps away from the car. We saw our first Horseshoe Crab at Bethany Beach and had a wonderful time at the Sea Turtle.

Our family of 8 had an amazing time at the Sea Turtle! There wasn’t anything that Kathy did not think of to accommodate guests and ensure that our stay was comfortable and convenient . From the stocked kitchen of pots and pans, children’s utensils, coffee, seasonings , to being able to relax on the deck, or having games and toys for both children and adults, and to having extra pillows or sheets if necessary . There was more than enough space inside and outside of the house especially with essentially 2 living room areas and plenty of yard space. Not once did we feel crowded. The sea turtle was conveniently located to the beach and other fun things to do (such as The Millville Boardwalk) and easily accessible to a grocery store when we realized we needed extra items. This property was great and our family will definitely be returning again whenever we plan to stay at Bethany beach! Thank you Kathy!

Everything you need and more!

Very close to the beach and the host was very responsive! Loved the screened in porch and they have pretty much everything you need for any activity (beach chairs, kayaks, fishing poles, bicycles). Really enjoyed staying there and would definitely stay again. The only downside was that the house is close to the main road so you will hear cars driving by, but it wasn't bothersome.

Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sea Turtle! The house had everything we needed and a ton of games and beach equipment in the shed that kept our young kids occupied and excited. The location is good just a short drive to the beach and close to restaurants, mini golf, ice cream etc. The owners were quickly responsive to the couple of questions we had. Would definitely consider staying again in the future.

I stayed here with four friends for a girls getaway. The place was very clean and well stocked with what we needed. We really enjoyed the screened porch and hammock. It was very close to the beaches and had a grocery store within walking distance. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to go to Bethany Beach.

The Sea Turtle

My family and I loved staying at the Sea Turtle. Definitely a great house to stay if you have toddlers. It has toys for the inside, outside, and the beach. Outside shower is a plus after beach trips. Only 8 minutes from Bethany Beach and boardwalk. Definitely would stay here again.

Wonderful Vacation Home

We enjoyed our stay at the Sea Turtle. The house was well equipped with everything you would need on a beach vacation. The house was roomy and we really enjoyed the screened in porch. We liked being only a short drive from grocery stores and restaurants. Another plus was the nearby Prickly Pear Trail and canal trail. Kathy and Tom were outstanding hosts!

Outstanding

Our entire three night stay was fantastic! The house was very spacious, extremely clean, and packed with all of the essentials and conveniences that you’re used to in your own home. We absolutely loved the screened in porch, the outdoor shower, the board games, and the shed filled with all the necessary beach gear. The location was great! We were near the grocery store, gas station, many restaurants, and less than a ten minute drive to the beach! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!
