This sunny beach cottage is bright and airy, and you will love relaxing on the screened in porch facing the canal, and watching the sun reflect on the water. It has everything you will need to enjoy your get away. High speed wifi, a 42” smart TV in the living room with sound bar. A fully equipped kitchen and a large gas BBQ grill with side burner. An electric range and dish washer; a refrigerator-freezer, microwave, toaster, coffee maker. Fully quipped with dishes, bowls, cups, pots and pans, cutlery, utensils, and of course wine glasses!

About the host

Hosted by Dana Scanlon

Host profile image
Dana and Leo Scanlon and their two daughters have enjoyed spending time in South Bethany at Aunt Betty and Joan's beach house since the early 1990s. Dana works as a real estate agent in the Bethesda, MD area, and is licensed in DC and Virginia as well. Her favorite color is blue, like the sea and the sky. The cottage has been blue its "entire life", and she saw no reason to change that, only to embellish it. She enjoys trail riding on horseback, and gardening. She currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Days End Farm Horse Rescue. Leo retired from IT security professional, and volunteers in adaptive sports programs (sailing in the summer, skiing in the winter). He is the handyman, Dana is the decorator and marketing professional.

Why they chose this property

We think you will love this property because its a sunny and updated house in a low-key area within a short walk to the beach. The reputation of Bethany as "the quiet resort" has a broad appeal to those who want to spend time with their friends and family, just relaxing. Being at the beach, with access to the small village, the little shops and eateries nearby is, in our opinion, the ideal get-away. The 4th of July parade in Bethany is the stuff of family legends and memories. If you crave additional high end restaurants and shopping, Rehoboth is 20 minutes North. If you want loud music and the bar scene, there are other places to go for that-- its just not what you will find here.

What makes this property unique

The screened porch overlooking the water of the canal is the perfect place to read a book, take a nap, or enjoy happy hour with your family and friends. The patio is a lovely place to hang out with family, friends, or the dog.
We have a dog, and have made this a hassle-free dog-friendly home, which included removing all the wall to wall carpets. We do not charge additional pet fees.
The furnishings are fresh and bright , because we feel that's what you should have at the beach. Your beach cottage shouldn't look like a dark log cabin in the woods!
