We enjoyed our time at 208 4th street! The location was very convenient for walking back and forth to the beach and downtown area. The property was very clean and well-stocked with kitchen essentials and beach chairs, and the screen porch and deck were wonderful. The king and queen mattresses were comfortable, and the kids had no complaints regarding the twin beds. The master suite and queen bedroom were spacious, but the twin bedrooms were a little small and cramped, as were the common areas. In general the home could use some updates, and felt a little small for the price we paid, but the location is where the value is. We checked in after hours and had a small hiccup with accessing the lockbox to grab the key, but were able to get in contact with the after-hours service and gain access.

Thank you so much for the detailed review! We are glad you enjoyed the location, screen porch, comfortable beds, and stocked beach essentials. We also appreciate your honest notes regarding the room sizes and general updates; feedback like yours helps us as we look at future improvements for the home. We’re sorry for the minor lockbox hiccup at check-in, but glad our after-hours team got you sorted out quickly. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to the beach!

Everything was great except the master king mattress. Everyone was wonderful but the listing is confusing because it’s through the real estate co. Not VRBO. It was much more expensive this way.

Awesome house

We had a great stay at this house! Super cute and plenty of room for all. Wish sheets were provided as part of the cost. Favorite part was the outdoor shower and additional bathroom underneath the house!

Charming beach cottage

Our girls' book club stayed at Sea Legs for a long weekend in late April 2022. It's a very convenient location for access to downtown Bethany Beach and to the beach. We enjoyed our stay... Comfortable, perfect for 5-8 people, kitchen had all necessary items including a large table for eating and playing games. The twin beds were a little firm for some but the queen and king beds were comfortable. The house was very clean and the decor was perfect.

One of our best places yet

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been renting places in BB, Rehoboth, Dewey for years and have seen a wide range of places. This one was in a great location and was all around solid. Had some beach gear onsite, comfortable rooms, good setup in the home, etc. We enjoyed our week there and would have rebooked for next season has we not had a conflicting vacation setup already. Will definitely keep an eye on this property for future rentals.

Reviewer Comments: The house was well appointed with all the kitchen needs, which was a pleasant surprise since most beach rentals seem to have one pot and two forks. In general, the house was perfect clean and all the supplies we needed. We loved spending time in the screen room. I would stay again just for that. Overall great stay with clear expectations. Loved it!
