CLOSE to great locally owned restaurants, outlet shopping (tax free), state parks, the inland bay, local unique shops, breweries, wineries, distilleries, nature preserves, animal encounters and more.

I do not do 'instant booking' for this home on any rental site. I consider this home as a HOME, not a hotel. 75% of my guests return every year, most families have stayed here for over 10 years and counting.

LARGE DRIVEWAY - the largest driveway for parking of any area home. Easily park 6 cars without anyone being blocked in, above 6, a few will be blocked in.

SUNRISE - you will have front row.

CLOSE TO EVERYTHING
2 miles to downtown Bethany Beach, DE to the south
10 miles to Rehoboth Beach, DE to the north
10 miles to Ocean City, MD to the south

Seafood, crabs, upscale entrees, pizza, BBQ and Italian local restaurants as close as 2 miles away.
MANY local attractions. Most are unique to the area. GREAT local restaurants for every budget and every taste.

CRAFT BREWERIES (at least 10)
DISTILLERIES (at least 3)
WINERIES (at least 5)
all of these within an one hour drive. Most have tours and restaurants too. You could spend a whole week visiting all of them.

OCEAN CITY, MD - famous for its boardwalk, restaurants, events and attractions, is a short drive south.

OUTLET SHOPPING in Rehoboth Beach - Delaware is tax free, and only a short drive to the north.

STATE PARKS to hike, explore, learn history, including Assateague Island (National Seashore State Park) to see wild Horses and more, just 27 miles south!

BERLIN, MD - a wonderful little town with shops and restaurants

BIKING and JOGGING - the Bethany Beach area has clearly marked lanes to travel south to Fenwick Island and north to Indian River and Dewey Beach.

BOATING - locally rent or launch your boat at the marina near by.

The countertops are black granite with barstool seating for 7. The indoor dining table seats 10 and the dinning tables in the screened porch can seat 8 at the two tables, more if your friendly!

This beach house is beautiful and very spacious. Everything was clean and well cared for, and we had plenty of room for everyone at the large dining room table, multiple living spaces and screened in deck! Holly was a great hostess and was available for questions both before and during our stay. The gated community and private beach allowed for privacy and security. I recommend this house to other families looking for some quality time at the beach! Beautiful views from second floor.

Awesome House and Location!

We absolutely loved staying in this house! The location was so convenient to shopping, restaurants and the the boardwalks at OC and Rehoboth. The house had everything we needed including a well appointed kitchen and hot water in the outdoor shower (the kids were so grateful for this)! All of the furniture was very comfortable though we spent most of our time on the beach or on the screened porch (which had a large table that could fit all 8 of us for dinners). This house could not have fit our needs better and we hope to be able to go back again next year. I would definitely recommend this house to others!

Bethany Beach getaway

Very clean, comfortable. THREE, count them, three living areas! Kitchen could count as a fourth area with the island. We had a couple of friends stop in for a visit and it made for easy conversation. Wrap around outside decks were nice for watching morning sunrises over the ocean and for afternoon happy hours. Beach was close and convenient. Clean beach but watch the tides. It came up within fifty feet of the dune limit. Definitely planning to go again.

Amazing stay with the family. Host is friendly, welcoming, and attends to all questions promptly.The house was fun with great views. Multiple sliding glass doors were another high point, allowing breezy ocean air when it was cooler. Three different living areas on the main level allowed us to be close together while still doing different things.The kitchen is stocked to serve a large group--and the extra fridge was very helpful. Plenty of dishes, glasses, flatware, large serving bowls, and a large coffee pot made it much easier to feed a large family, often starting (and staying up) on different schedules. With a dining table that seats 10, however, we were really able to enjoy family dinners together.The beds were comfortable with numerous pillows and extra blankets. And the views and porch access from 4 of the 5 bedrooms was amazing. (Good to have a bedroom for the younger ones that did NOT have outside access.)Beach access was simple and close. The outdoor shower helped keep the sand outside. And with some chillier days, we all appreciated that it had hot and cold water as well as direct access into the house.Thank you, Holly, for a wonderful vacation home. We are already hoping to come back next year!

Great Views

We really enjoyed our week at Bayberry Dunes The property was well described, there were no surprises. The house was clean and well maintained. There was ample parking and lots of interior space. Good Wi-Fi; we brought power strips to charge our electronic devices. The location was quiet; stores and restaurants were a short drive away. Bike lanes were available, but on a very busy road. The highlight of the house was the two wraparound decks which provided both sunny and shaded areas. We enjoyed the screened-in porch and had many meals there. The upper deck had great views of the beach and ocean. There was plenty of seating on both decks. Access to the uncrowded beach was by a nearby walkway. Having lifeguards from 10am to 5pm was a definite plus. Holly promptly answered our questions via VRBO messaging. We would not hesitate to return to Bayberry Dunes should we want to vacation in Delaware again.

Bayberry Dunes

This was our second stay at Bayberry Dunes and we all had a wonderful time. The house was very clean and comfortable. This year we rented sheets and towels and had the beds made, which was worth every penny (SeaPlayHomes.com). The ocean views are fabulous and it's just steps to the walkway to the beach. Our whole family came, including our two year old grandson and 9 month old granddaughter. If you have little ones, you will definitely need a gate for the stairway down to the ground. We also brought high chairs, crib, etc. The little ones had a great time on the very safe decks, running and crawling. The screened-in porch is terrific for every meal. We reserved the indoor dining table for puzzles! The grill doesn't get over 350 degrees, but otherwise the online listing is quite accurate. Woody's in Dewey Beach has great crab cakes and outdoor, COVID-friendly seating. Holly is a wonderfully helpful and friendly manager who always replies promptly to all questions. Can't say enough good about her! The kitchen is well-equipped (but bring a sharp knife and scissors) and the extra fridge in the laundry room is a godsend for a big group. We bought bags of ice with our groceries, but there are plenty of ice cube trays. We would love the larger of the TVs to be located in the area with the most seating, as our group enjoys an occasional movie, but otherwise everything is very comfortably arranged. We absolutely loved our week and will be back!

My husband and I loved our recent stay at this beautiful relaxing home. We had gorgeous weather, fishing, chilling on the beach and decks of the home. The house is very private, and the views are spectacular for watching sunrise and sunset. We can't wait until next September when we will be back! I would suggest future guests to bring an electrical extension cord. I was reading my IPad Kindle so much that I needed to charge it while using it! Also scissors-- to cut tags off stuff you buy on the boardwalk.

Delightful oceanfront, practically private stay

The house in Bayberry Dunes is lovely. The neighborhood was completely quiet for our week of October 9-16 and the beach was almost empty except for people occasionally walking by at the shoreline: perfect for social distancing! The gorgeous views from all rooms and up and down the beach were as advertised.

My interests are cars, music, travel and spoiling my rescue doggie babies.

Why they chose this property

The North Bethany Beach area is quiet and friendly, especially in this gated community with a private beach. This community has only 3 homes that are rentals, so you will be among actual locals, not (dare I say, crazy noisy tourists.

This area has SO MANY local attractions. Most are unique to here. GREAT local restaurants for every budget and almost every taste. Do some research, try at least one local restaurant while you are here.

CRAFT BREWERIES (at least 12), DISTILLERIES (at least 3) and WINERIES (at least 6) within an hours drive. Most have tours and restaurants too. You could spend a week visiting all of them.

OCEAN CITY, MD - famous for its boardwalk, restaurants, events and attractions is a short drive south.

OUTLET SHOPPING and places to discover in Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Lewes (pronounced Louis), are all just a short drive to the north. Don't forget, Delaware is tax free.

STATE PARKS to hike, explore, learn history, including Assateague Island (National Seashore State Park) to see the wild Horses and more!

BIKING and JOGGING - the area has clearly marked lanes which many people use to travel south to Fenwick island and north to Indian River. Please watch for pedestrians.
