Welcome to The Rookery, your vacation home away from home in the town of South Bethany. This five-bedroom sanctuary, just a short walk to a private beach, guarantees you’ll make memories to last a lifetime. Step into the shaded and enclosed backyard, where you’ll find outdoor seating for dining al fresco and an outdoor shower where you can rinse off after your fun-filled day at the beach.
Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and an airy atmosphere throughout the space. Enter the home through the ground floor, where you’ll find a bedroom with access to the backyard, a full-size bath, and a laundry room. Upstairs, the main level, with a vaulted ceiling and wood fireplace, has an open floor plan with lots of room for family and friends to gather. This level boasts a fully equipped kitchen where the chef in the group will find all the tools needed to whip up a home-cooked meal or just a frothy drink. There’s plenty of seating for planning a game night or enjoying a movie night on the large TV. A cozy sunroom, just off the living room, has yet another TV and can be closed off for those who prefer a quieter environment. It’s the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee or a relaxing cool drink. There is also a desk and chair where you can catch up on emails using your device. The sunroom has a spiral staircase that leads to a small open-air deck on the third floor, great for catching some rays or just enjoying the scenery. This main level has three more bedrooms plus a full bath. The third level is perfect for a kid hangout with two sets of bunk beds, an attached full bath, TV, and access to the third-floor deck.

Easy Breezy Beach Rental
We had a great stay at The Rookery. The house was very clean and had an easy check in, out process. This housed 4 families with young children comfortably. Really nice sun room with some toys and games that was great for our group! The proximity to the beach can’t be beat!

Perfect Family Get Away
This home is beautiful! It's perfect for a family or even a group of friends for the weekend. The location is great. The walk to the beach is super easy and you can bike almost everywhere you need to go. Super convenient to shops and restaurants. Will definitely return!

Weekend Beach Getaway
This house was great for everything we needed. Rt.1 being between our house and the beach didn’t allow for too much independent walking of our younger teens, but it was a short walk. Kitchen was well equipped. Beach toys, games and bikes were a fun bonus.
The home was nicely furnished, It was a surprise to all of us that we needed to purchase the linen package in order to have sheets and towels. Also the VRBO did not have adequate toilet paper and soaps for the bathrooms. No Kitchen towels and no additional paper towel, all these items had to be purchased at the grocery store in order to enjoy our stay!!!

Fall Getaway
Nice house. Close to the beach. The digital lock on the front door was broken and we could not get in which was very frustrating. Finally, after 2 hours back and forth on the phone and texting with the office, they sent someone out to fix it. We felt that the response time was unacceptable and that the lock should have been checked between rentals to make sure it was in working order.

Not Worth the expense
The house is very close to the beach, which was very nice. It does not look like any effort was made to clean it prior to our arrival. Food was left in both refrigerators and the upstairs toilet was back up and smelled horrible. The ground floor bedroom had spiders all over the walls. It was just very disappointing.
