This three bedroom, two full bath, with outdoor shower, Waters Edge Retreat Cottage is the perfect place for a relaxing family vacation. The Cottage is located in the private gated community at South Shore Marina - at the north end of Bethany Beach, just miles from Dewey, Rehoboth & Ocean City Beaches.

With the multiple sliders and windows looking out to the Indian River Bay, this Cottage will become a family favorite for summer trips. The Cottage is walking distance to Delaware Seashore State Park (6/10ths of a mile), where you can enjoy a guarded beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The Indian River Bay surrounds the home and provides an amazing landscape for relaxation and some of the best sunsets you will ever see!

This Cottage has been newly updated with modern decor and is an ideal summer getaway. The multiple living areas allow you to gather with your family and friends, while also having privacy and space.

Spend the day at the beach or take part in the activities offered by Delaware Seashore State Park or all that the local beach communities have to offer. In the evening wind down with dinner and live music overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or Indian River Bay at either Big Chill or Hammerheads, our two local restaurants.

The cottage has bikes, kayaks, beach chairs and so much more for our guests use. The cottage also has direct water access for guests to launch kayaks directly from the rental.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to prepare a great family meal or choose to grill on the deck overlooking the Bay. When the sun goes down and things move inside, its time to play games or cards with family and friends or enjoy a movie on one of the large smart TVs. The three season room with sofas, TV and game table provides a great space for kids to hang out.

The Cottage is a short drive to all of the area attractions including: Rehoboth, Dewey, Fenwick Island and Ocean City, MD beaches, outlet shopping, brewery tours, golf, boating, jet skiing, fishing, amazing food and restaurants and so much more!

    Everything was as expected. It’s a very nice house with a lovely view. I wish I had brought binoculars to see all the birds that were over the marsh better.

    What a lovely setting! Marsh views, gulls, terns, egrets, herons, pelicans, black birds, fish jumping in the marsh coves and rivulettes, stunning sunrises, quiet, peaceful, amazing. The entire places was clean, comfortable, and as expected.

    Nice, clean cottage. Perfect for our family of 6. We saw some dolphins, also great to watch birds. Beaches nearby to the north and south.

    Great vacation house! It was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location is central, making it easy to get to both Rehoboth and Bethany and a perfect jumping-off point for exploring the area, such as a beach across the highway that is minutes from the property. We liked being in a gated community since it felt safe and quiet, and the recreation room was a huge hit with my son. The host was responsive and made everything simple, and we’d definitely stay again.

    I cannot recommend this location enough! Jason (property manager) was amazing. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was able to provide suggestions when I was looking for specific services. This was my first time in the Bethany/Dewey/Rehoboth area, and everything is so close together. You can have the beach, nightlife, and shopping experience all within a 25 min radius of each other. The house is so CUTE! Much bigger than it looks on the outside. All of the beds were super comfortable - as were the couches. House came with everything we needed (as advertised - i.e. plates, cooking utensils, sponge, dishwasher soap, etc). Very safe and beautiful area. The view from the end of the street during sunset is unmatched. The back deck also offers a beautiful view. We had two bird friends the whole stay. We went for a boat ride with Back Bay Tours and they took us right by the property - it was a fun surprise. The house fit 8 of us easily - the only tight squeeze was in the bathroom when we were all trying to get ready. 11/10, hope to go back again! :) I would upload pictures, but I am on my laptop and all of the pictures are on my phone.

    We loved staying at this home. It had everything we needed, and was very relaxing. Don’t forget your binoculars (for some spectacular sea bird viewing) — actually we were able to watch a gorgeous heron right out the window! The owner was totally responsive: before, during and after our stay.

    Enjoyed the views of the marsh. Pretty sunset a short walk from the house. Appreciated the one-level living and walk-in shower with seat for my mother. Well-equipped kitchen. Host responded quickly to any questions.

    We were looking for a place to stay that was not along a highway or in a noisy area when we found this home. It was tucked far enough away from the highway that we couldn't easily hear all the motorcycles crossing over the bridge, and in the morning had a secluded view looking south over the bay where we could see the sun rise, and birds flying about. From the deck we couldn't see neighbors and they couldn't see us. We didn't use anything inside the home other than the Kurig machine and the kitchen sink, and had our own mugs. The decor was cozy and nice, and to be honest when we first pulled in we weren't sure what we had rented, but once we stepped inside the amount of space was amazing. With every great review there is always something that maybe you wished was a little different but not a negative. The master bedroom had a king size bed which was great, but I will say the space between the bed and the wall on the right side of the bed was a little close. We also noticed that TV streaming in the bedroom, as well as wifi strength on that end of the house wasn't the best, but you're in the bedrooms to sleep, right?? Would we consider this home again? Very definitely. It was clean, secluded, great view, easy access, gated community, quiet, and a great place to get away. Would recommend to Friends and Family as well. Owner was great with communications. Provided a nice fact sheet with door/gate codes, some local links and everything we needed to arrive and depart.

    Cottage was clean,comfortable and had everything we needed. Had we stayed longer, we would have made use of the kayaks and bikes. The owner was very responsive when I asked a couple of questions. Conveniently located near beaches, restaurants etc.

    Excellent location. We brought our own kayaks and enjoyed the extra’s provided. 15 minute walk to the beach or 3 minute bike ride. Enjoyed the sand bar in the bay to watch the sunsets. House is much larger than it appears. Plenty of living space. Great deck and table for outside dinners iverloiking the water.

    Can’t say enough about this well appointed cottage. We began each day with coffee overlooking the bay before kayaking, time on the beach, and relaxing with family on the deck.The owner was great to work with, the cottage was clean, spacious and very comfortable! While we took advantage of the well equipped kitchen to cook a few meals, the neighborhood is secluded and private, but close enough to venture out for a nice evening of fine dining and fresh seafood. We hope to make this an annual family gathering place.
