Welcome to The Salt Shack...our beautiful open floor plan beach retreat. This three-story home is decorated and furnished in a tasteful mid-century modern/industrial rustic theme...with a beachy twist! The 2016 season was the first time the house was offered as a rental and each rental season the Salt Shack is refreshed with new decorations and amenities. The unique floor plan of this home offers three very private bedrooms, each with its own full bath (two en-suite.)
We have everything you need to enjoy your time in Bethany Beach. Not only is our home a bright, open, beautiful place to relax and enjoy yourself, but we are steps away (literally!) from the pool (indoor and outdoor), playground, gym, fishing ponds, boating/kayaking access, basketball courts, tennis courts, shuffleboard, pickleball, driving range, and our own highly-regarded 18-hole golf course. This is an incredible family retreat in a peaceful community at an affordable price!
