The property was in a beautiful community with lots of nice amenities. The home was well appointed, spacious, and located near the pool, gym, and shuttle stop. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. It worked out very well for our group of 7. It was close to the beach, Bethany Beach town center and many restaurants. A word of caution that the beach traffic is heavy and Bethany beach fills up quickly during peak season. We would stay again.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Alana! We're so glad to hear that your group enjoyed the home, the community amenities, and the convenient location near the pool, gym, shuttle stop, and of course—Bethany Beach. It’s great to know the home was a comfortable and quiet retreat for your stay. You're absolutely right about the beach traffic during peak season—it can get busy, so we always recommend guests plan accordingly or take advantage of the community shuttle when possible. We’d be thrilled to host you again in the future. Thanks again for choosing our home!
Warm regards, ~ Helen

We enjoyed our stay in Bethany Bay. This townhome was well appointed, clean and comfortable. It was convenient location to the pools and fitness center. We enjoyed the walking paths, access to the bay and the lazy river pool. It was a short drive to the Bethany Beach boardwalk. Helen was a great host who shared a lot of information about the community and the townhome.

We had a great time at this location. It was close to the swimming pools which my daughter's family enjoyed, especially the lazy river. My wife and I was able to workout at the workout center and we also enjoyed the swimming pools. The grocery stores were very close. I would highly recommend this location especially if you have young kids in your group. The beach was also very close.

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us feedback! It was our pleasure to have hosted your family during the Memorial weekend! We are so glad that you enjoyed the stay! Regarding the linens, since most of our guests would like to bring their own, we have not made this a standard offering. For those guests who have such a need, we have a list of trusted local linen rental companies which will deliver to/pick up from our villa. So far our guests have been very happy with our recommendations. Thanks again for choosing to be our guests & have a great summer! ~ Helen
The property was perfect for our family group of 7 adults and 2 small children. There was plenty of room for more people but I think the HOA limits this. We couldn't have been more pleased with the space and community. The lazy river was perfect!

Cozy, relaxing visit
Helen was a pleasure to work with. Quick to answer questions and great at providing necessary information. Our family was more than happy with the accommodations in the home. Loved the layout as it provided enough privacy but also common areas to spend time together. Bay Shore is a great Bethany Beach community. Highly recommend staying at this property.

The house was amazing! Everything was clean, neat and tidy, and exactly as they described it. Helen and Blake are great hosts, and their home is wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed using both of the pools in the development, in fact, that was the highlight of our trip.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Our family of 6, which includes 4 teenage/young adults men, had a wonderful time at this beautiful home in Bethany Beach. Being Marylanders all our lives, it was our first time to Bethany Beach and we loved it. Such a quaint town with great restaurants. The atmosphere of the Boathouse Restaurant was our favorite in addition to the 2.5 mile kayaking trip we did that took us to Fenwick Island. The resort complex was so quiet and peaceful. We spent a majority of our time at the pool since it was such a great facility. We will definitely be staying here again!

Excellent vacation home in Bayforest. The house is very clean, spacious, quiet and exactly as described. The wifi is strong should you have to work and there is ample space to spread out.
The amenities at Bayforest cannot be beat, with the home in walking distance to the pool and gym facilities, and child friendly activities.
The owner is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We have stayed at other properties in the area. Villa Bethany is the best!

Family of 6 adults and 2 children stayed for a week. The home was very spacious and comfortable. Bay Forest is a lovely community with terrific amenities. We used the fitness center, the pools, and walking paths, and the outdoor grill. We had everything we needed. We appreciated having beach items and a bike available in the garage. Grocery and pharmacy within a couple of miles. The owners clearly made an effort to feel that we were in someone’s home. We appreciated the TV streaming service in the living room. The owners were readily available when when questions came up. A very good experience.

This fabulous beach house went above and beyond our expectations in every way!
This vacation villa has it all - gorgeous home equipped to the hilt; comfortable beds; plenty of room for multiple families; unbelievable clubhouse, gym, pool(the lazy river was definitely a hit) with food and bar service; close to the beach; close to shopping and fresh seafood; friendly neighbors!
This was the most beautiful beach house I have ever rented - and at a reasonable price. The neighborhood is close to everything but tucked away in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The owners were delightful to work with! Helen always answered my emails promptly and helped me find a good linen rental company. When Helen returned my deposit check, she sent ME a Thank You note!
Don't let this villa pass you by on your next search for a Bethany vacation! My family (including out of towners) want to book again for next year! We really want to just LIVE there!

About the host
Hosted by Helen
We have vacationed in many different places and countries. If circumstances permit, we'd always choose to rent a private home instead of staying in a hotel. After spending some time in Bethany beach, we fell in love with its central location, the unique charm and its family friendliness. We hope to share our retreat with other families who will care for it as they would their own, and hope you will have all the fond memories for years to come.
Why they chose this property
The Bay Forest community offers resort living at its best! The amenities are world class. The people are friendly. The location is convenient yet less crowded. During summer season, the community offers shuttle bus service to/from the Bethany beach, so that you will not have to worry about fighting for a parking spot at the beach during busy days/times. Charming, relaxing and family oriented, Bethany and Bay Forest offer you the best vacation experience.
What makes this property unique
We love the high quality construction of the homes in Bay Forest, the family feel and the quietness of this neighborhood. In addition, this end unit villa offers a great open floor plan (only available in certain newer models), natural sunlight, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for family gathering, relaxation and enjoyment. The special features such as the arched entryways, hardwood floors and nearby community fire pit also make you feel living right at home while vacationing in a resort!
