About the host

Hosted by Chris Lagarde

Host profile image
We fell in love with the Rehoboth-Dewey-Bethany Beach area years ago and knew almost instantly it would become our second home. There’s something truly special about the small-town beach charm that Bethany and Dewey offer. Unlike the busier, more crowded beaches in New Jersey, these coastal gems provide a sense of peace and relaxation that’s perfect for families. The uncrowded shores, friendly faces, and slower pace create an atmosphere where you can truly unwind and make lasting memories.

We’re originally from Chester County, PA, where we still live most of the year. But the beaches here, with their dog-friendly attitude and welcoming community, captured our hearts and felt like the perfect escape from daily life. We’ve spent countless mornings walking along the shoreline with our dogs, afternoons exploring the local shops, and evenings indulging in amazing restaurants.

Speaking of dining, the food here is a highlight of every visit. From fresh seafood shacks to cozy bistros and family-owned eateries, there’s something for every palate. Whether it’s a relaxed dinner with waterfront views in Dewey, exploring Rehoboth’s renowned dining scene, or grabbing ice cream on the Bethany boardwalk, the options are endless—and the memories made over these meals are priceless.

We love how the area offers the perfect blend of tranquility and activity. Bethany’s boardwalk and Dewey’s live music scene provide just enough excitement without losing that laid-back beach town vibe. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and you can focus on what really matters: spending time with loved ones.

Our love for this area grew so much we decided to share it with others. We opened our home to give families like yours the chance to experience the same joy, relaxation, and togetherness we’ve found here. Whether it’s your first visit or fifth, we’re confident you’ll fall in love with this slice of coastal paradise just like we did. Welcome to your new favorite getaway!

Why they chose this property

Bayside at Bethany Lakes is a truly fantastic community! We were drawn first to the spacious design of the home itself—a perfect place to relax, host friends and family, and enjoy all that the area has to offer. We’ve worked hard to make this a welcoming retreat for our guests, fully equipped with conveniences like a well-stocked kitchen, multiple coffee brewing options, and more, so you can walk in and start enjoying your vacation immediately.

The neighborhood is quiet and family-friendly, offering a safe environment where kids can ride bikes, enjoy the nearby playground, or explore the walking paths—perfect for a leisurely stroll or walking your dog.

The highlight of the community is the world-class clubhouse, which includes indoor and outdoor pools with spas, a fitness center overlooking the bay, a game room with classic arcade games, billiards, and ping pong. There’s also a massive great room for gatherings, a bar, and an outdoor grill area.

The local dining scene is another reason we love it here! Grotto Pizza, a Delaware staple, is a must-try. Bethany Blues is a favorite for barbecue, and for breakfast, we highly recommend Honey’s Farm Fresh Gourmet Kitchen with its unique train car seating.

One of the first things guests notice is how beautifully decorated the home is. We intentionally selected calming, beachy colors and furnishings to create a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Every room has been carefully designed to balance style and comfort, making it a welcoming retreat from the moment you arrive.

Unlike properties closer to the beach, our home is nestled in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, allowing you to unwind after a day of fun. The community’s amenities are second to none, with a world-class clubhouse featuring indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, a fitness center overlooking the bay, and a game room with billiards, ping pong, and classic arcade games. The sunset deck offers breathtaking views of the bay to end your day.

We’ve also prioritized convenience and comfort, with a fully equipped kitchen, a coffee bar offering multiple brewing options, and plenty of room for families to dine together. For dog lovers, the neighborhood’s walking paths and dog-friendly vibe make it easy to include your furry friends in your vacation plans.
