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.

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!

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!

Wonderful cozy spot

My friends and I were blessed by this sweet place. It was very spacious with enough sleeping room for my party of 7 to spread out. The screened in porch with the hammock and surround sound speakers was nice to chill in anytime of day. The firepit worked out beautifully (also speakers nearby so you never lose the music). Would definitely recommend!

Perfect house!

My husband and I brought our older kids to Bethany Beach and the set up of the house was perfect because their bedrooms are on the other side of the house which was great for privacy for both them and us! The house is SO close to the grocery store and liquor store. And also very close to walking trails, which my husband and I did every morning! We used the bikes, the bags game, and the beach chairs, along with playing some of the board games when we had a rainy day. This house is well stocked with everything! We would 100% stay in this house again!

Very comfortable home, great host!

The home was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well-appointed. Between that and the grill, eating in was very convenient- especially with the grocery store just across the street! The only small drawback was the traffic noise - the home is on an open corner lot on a very busy road, so enjoying the screened porch/hammock was a bit dampened by that. We were able to bike quite a bit - the area has great bike infrastructure. We found a ramp at the back of the neighborhood to kayak into the Assawoman canal from, that was a great perk - it’s protected even on a very windy day. The fenced in backyard with many lawn games was delightful, and the outdoor shower came in handy - thanks Kathy!

The house is awesome! Completely stocked and very clean. It was easy to prepare meals on the grill, and the patio is great for morning coffee. Close to beach and other fun attractions. We used the beach stuff and bikes in the shed daily. We had a great week!!

The house was exactly as pictured. It is fully appointed with everything you need for an out of town stay and is immaculately clean. The shed is a treasure chest of outdoor games and toys for all 3 generations of our family. There were also several bicycles we didnt expect-we brought out own. Its a very comfortable and spacious house with some privacy for my son, wife and granddaughter w/ 2 of the bedrooms off a separate living room. The only setback was the proximity to the main road that is a well traveled thoroughfare thru the day and earlier evening. However, the fully fenced yard keep it safe for children and we adapted quickly to the sound of the road. One of the highlights of our trip was a side trip to Assateague Island to see the wild horses. Its a quick 40 min ride to this island with beautiful state beaches and an abundance of wild horses.

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.
