About the host
Hosted by Anna and Blair
We are a family of four who enjoy relaxing by the beach creating lasting summer memories for our kids. We loved the small beach cottage we originally purchased but it wasn't big enough to accommodate friends and extended family. That is why we built the new house in 2016. The location in downtown Bethany is perfect for our family and yours! We specifically wanted to be on the ocean side of Coastal highway place so our children could safely explore downtown and the boardwalk and watch a movie on the beach or get an ice cream cone.
Why they chose this property
The location of this house is it's best feature -- just one a half blocks from the beach and 1 block to downtown. There is parking for five standard cars in front, in the garage and behind the house. Bright, colorful and casual. This is beach relaxing at its best.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location! This house also allows multi-generation vacations, with three master rooms as well as an elevator to help those who can't navigate the stairs.
