Our home is a classic beach house located just a short walk (3 blocks, 7 minutes) to the beach and boardwalk (also near the trolley stop). Oakwood Street is a wide, open, and private street. Our lot is large, with open parking (4+ vehicles; grass is ok). Guests enjoy the expansive front screened porch, with plenty of seating, and a large backyard deck. They tell us it feels like a home away from home.

There are five bedrooms:

- Guestroom 1 - Master bedroom - king bed, sitting area/desk, and bathroom
- Guestroom 2 - king bed
- Guestroom 3 - king bed
- Guestroom 4 - bunk bed (queen mattress on bottom, twin on top)
- Guestroom 5 - twin bed and a bunk bed (full mattress on bottom, twin on top)

Our house is ideal for a family summer beach vacation or a non-summer getaway. (There are tons of things to do in the off-season - e.g., shopping nearby with free parking, restaurants with no wait times, great road cycling right out the front door, etc.).

Our home is conveniently located near the beach and town, yet it still maintains a private and uncrowded atmosphere, making for a wonderfully relaxing vacation.

The home was originally owned by the former mayor of Bethany, who designed and built it in the 1980s. The previous owners remodeled and expanded the home in 2019. Today, it is known as the cedar house.

The minimum rental age is 27. This is a family home in a family beach town. Please, no senior week requests.

The primary renter must provide full names and ages of occupants within 12 hours of the booking request. Failure to do so may result in the request being denied.

Sheets and towels are not provided (including kitchen towels, drying mat, etc.), and pets are not allowed.

Welcome and enjoy!

    This house was the perfect size for our three families (6 kids). We had more than enough room for sleeping, plenty of space for cooking & eating, seating for hanging out and we never felt like we were on top of each other. Getting to the beach was a breeze - the walk is quick and enjoyable but we also took advantage of the easy parking to transport gear & toddlers when needed. There were tons of chairs, umbrellas and beach toys for us to use at the house. The boardwalk was a quick & easy walk but we also took the free trolley for a fun ride. The library right across the street or the playground a few blocks away were great options when our kids wanted a break from the beach. Ben provided tons of detail about the house, was super communicative and prompt to answer any questions we had. The stay exceeded our expectations and our whole group highly recommends!

    Perfect house for 5 Ladies attending a Pickleball Camp for the weekend at Sea Colony! Beautifully appointed with great cozy spaces to hang. Kitchen had everything including a Keurig. Host also had a complimentary bottle of Prosecco in the fridge for us upon arrival.

    We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home. It was spacious and perfectly suited for a large group. We loved the location in Bethany as it is close to everything and yet in a nice quiet neighborhood. The beach, ‘boardwalk’, and library are walkable destinations. Our weather was not great but we found ourselves enjoying the screened in porch as well as the comfy family room. We also hired a chef to cook for us in the well stocked, spacious, beautiful kitchen. The only issue we had is that we had just one working key. Luckily the lock box made it possible for everyone to have access to the key.

    Perfect large house for a multigenerational family vacation. Spacious, clean, convenient! Beautiful large front porch was especially nice on a rainy day! Everyone loved the house as it contributed to a very fun and positive first time vacation to/in Bethany Beach. Thanks!

    Oakwood home did not disappoint. Spacious bedrooms, large family room with plenty of room to lounge and play games. Porch was an added bonus where we spent our mornings and dinners in the evening. Would rent again and highly recommend.

    We were a family of 10 ranging from as young as 18mo to 65 and everyone enjoyed the house! My mother couldn't stop raving about how nice it was and how roomy it was for all of us. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies, there are beach toys and gear in the garage, and plenty of games and books to choose from for the group. The rooms were a very nice size and the location convenient to the main roads. The crossover to the beach is a little tough with young kids but having a parking pass made it a bit easier. We had an issue with the AC being out in the main suite when we arrived Sat night but the management company and the owner handled it as soon as possible and we had air by Monday. Great trip and I'm already looking forward to coming back next year.

    This property was just what we needed for our family get away. Not to far from the beach but far enough away that it was nice and quite when i sat out on the screened in porch. Pur whole family truly enjoyed our stay.
