    Its not really convenient to walk to beach unless your ok with carrying everthing a half mile across a busy road but they do provide a parking pass, there were minor things wrong with the house that i really hope i dont get pinalized for. Ants ALL over the counter, many mouse traps under the sink, bathroom sink facet handle leaked. WE were afraid to touch anything for fear of being charged for it, also they charged us a cleaning fee yet I had to clean and vacuum before we left, go figure.

    Lovely house, plenty big enough for our family of three and more. Well furnished and well equipped. A ten-minute walk from the beach. We'd be glad to stay there again our next trip to Bethany.

    The property was located within walking distance for where we needed to be for our family get together, which was so convenient. It couldn't have been more perfect. I would definately consider this rental again if we choose to have another reunion in Bethany Beach.

    House is dated but mostly clean on the inside, could use an update and a bit more attention to detail from the cleaning crew. The master shower is tiny with no spot to put your shampoo etc. The washer and dryer was handy to have and was clean. The kitchen seemed well stocked but we didn't eat there during our stay. The screen porch looked nice but it was like a solarium during our time there so we didn't spend any time out there. On the flip side, the outside was not someplace I would hang out. The table on the deck was pretty crummy, the yard was overgrown and I saw quite a few fox running around so I wouldn't be comfortable being in the small clearing surrounded by woods and weeds. The outdoor shower was decidedly unusable, lots of tree debris, dirty soap full of hair left behind and when my daughter attempted to rinse some sand off, she came inside with several small slugs on her legs. The location is great, end of cul de sac on a quiet road, about a half mile to the beach and boardwalk area. There is a main road to cross but there are crossing walks and lights that blink to stop traffic.

    Great location especially to let my teenagers have some freedom to walk and bike places on their own. The beach is very crowded (but I’m use to the remote areas of the obx) The house isn’t fancy but it was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was really well equipped. The air conditioner works well too! Everything we needed!
