Wonderful stay at a great beach house!
5 STARS
We had a wonderful time at Kathy and John's home. They were very accommodating with our arrival and departure time. The house has everything you would need and then some, including bikes, boogie boards, helmets, etc. The beds were comfortable, and there were multiple seating areas so everyone had a place to hang out. We really enjoyed biking around the lovely neighborhood which has very little traffic. It was close enough to the beach to walk as well! We will definitely be back!
Owner's Response: Tara Thanks so much for your kind review... so glad you had a great time. Kathy really has everything organized and put together so that vacationers can just come and enjoy themselves. Look forward to having you back! John & Kathy

Second year in a row!! LOVED it just as much.
5 STARS
This was our second year in a row at this lovely home- we truly can not imagine going anywhere else for our annual beach trip now. Kathy is just wonderful to work with. No detail is spared in the home. We have arrived twice now to have little things that other rentals never have- toilet paper, spices, plenty of beach chairs, bikes, and so much more that I'm forgetting. The three bathrooms are essential for us- we have 4 teenagers, and couldn't do without! So close to the grocery stores and the beach, and we love to travel down to Rehoboth and Ocean City for some night life. I really can not rave enough about this place- we are already planning on coming back next year!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your review. You are very sweet to take the time to write one. Each year I try to think of one or two things to keep the house fresh and useful. We have a large family with lots of different ages so it is always a challenge. Let me know if you have any ideas of things you could have used. Hope you and your family had a wonderful summer! I am glad you had a nice time at our beach house.... we love it too! Kathy

Family Getaway!

Thanks so much for sharing your beach house with our family. You have tastefully decorated and well stocked your house with just about everything we needed at the beach, and having three full baths and two refrigerators was a delightful bonus. The house is located on a small U-shaped street that was quiet and safe for small children. We enjoyed the outside living area, which included plenty of shade, a porch and picnic table, an outside shower and hose to wash off sand, a fire pit, small lawn area for games, and the many bikes. When it was time to kick back and unwind, the living room was a spacious place for everyone to gather and watch Netflix on the TV. The owners are very nice and were easily accessible before and during our stay.

Wonderful Getaway!!
5 STARS
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us for the week! We loved every moment of our stay. There was ample space for my husband and I and our 8 children aged 4-20. We especially loved the bikes and the fire pit- both made for quite a few pleasantly lazy evenings. We also loved the community pool. Easy access to the Catholic Church, the beach, grocery stores, and so much more. Future renters- rest assured that the owners are very friendly, accommodating, and spare no detail. We are already planning on returning next year. Thanks again!!

This Place is Awesome!!!
5 STARS
Now this is my idea of a beach getaway!!! Everything you need to enjoy a weekend or a week away. Close enough to bike or take the Trolley into town..but far enough away to enjoy some piece and quiet...great amenities...owners have thought of everything!!
Five star ratings for Comfort, Location, Cleanliness, and Ease of Check-in.
Would I recommend this vacation rental to my best friend? Absolutely!

Great house!
5 STARS
My family and I had a wonderful time. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and the outdoor space was perfect. Fire pit area was a nice surprise. Outdoor shower came in handy. I was a little concerned about the spiral staircase but the kids (4 yr old and 8 yr old) handled it well. We would not hesitate to rent this property again.

We had a lovely time in your beautiful and spacious home! It was our first ever family beach vacation, one that won't be forgotten. The listing accurately depicted this wonderful vacation home...all amenities included (including beach equipment, parking passes and bikes to ride to the boardwalk) and plenty of space for the entire family. The house was clean, in great shape and the owner was easily accessible if needed. Would highly recommend it!!

Absolutely Beautiful House!
5 STARS
We returned from our stay, unpacked our car, and I am finally sitting on the couch and reflecting on our past week. There are so many things to say about your house, I hope I remember them all.
1- It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
2- We arrived a little early and walked in. The house was clean, just not vacumned. We brought our stuff in and ate lunch and the cleaning crew came back at about 2 to vacumn. We were pleasantly pleased with the light, cleanliness, and decor of the house.
3- It was EXTREMELY generous of you to leave access to sooooooo many bikes, boogie boards, sand toys, etc. We were there for a family reunion (our uncle jim owns a home on Collins and our cousins Jennifer and Chris own 500 collins) the rest of the family rented around their houses. There were 51 of us in all. It was awesome to have access to bikes since we could ride to visit them for dinner and not worry about driving. The bike with training wheels and with the baby seat on back really were key! :)
4- The parking passes for the beach were key and were extremely helpful.
5- we were very happy with the size of the bedrooms and the fact that there was a tv in each one.
6- the bathrooms were extremely clean and the outdoor shower was the best part especially after the long days at the beach.
7- we were surpirsed to find paper products, spices, garbage bags, etc. upon arrival. We have rented homes before (never in bethany) and they were completely empty. We used the toilet tissue, paper towels and spices that were there and left 12 rolls of toilet tissue, 8 rolls of towels, dishwasher detergent, windex, fantastic, and all our brand new spices there for future use.
I completely cleaned out the frig, totally washed all bathrooms, made all beds, closed all blinds, and completed the entire checkout checklist and locked the door on the way out.
We had an outstanding time there and hope to make it back next year. I just wanted to let you know we were very happy and you are so very lucky to own such a beautiful home.
warmly,
