Bethany Beach, Delaware
Our house is located in a quite, beautiful neighborhood. It is a short distance to the beach (only 1 mile to the beach). The backyard backs up to the Bethany Canal. It feels more like a home than a summer rental. From June 1st to September 5th , weekly rentals only - Saturday - Saturday. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, silverware, pots, pans, coffeemaker, etc. It is shabby-chic with granite countertops, and open shelving, and connects to the family room. The living areas are very comfy with a pottery barn feel and cozy leather furniture with hardwood floors throughout. Dining area off kitchen with extra dishes for a large family. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, full private bath, T.V, and DVD player. The other 3 bedrooms have comfortable queen beds and share an additional full bath. All bedrooms have ceiling fans for additional comfort. Enjoy cocktails on the large deck, and cook on the grill while watching friends or kids kayak in the canal. The backyard is a bird lovers' paradise that feels and looks like a nature reserve. There is a majestic Blue Heron living there that we named Ted! You can also leave your car in the driveway and take the fun and convenient trolley to town and the beach. It cost a whopping quarter to ride. The trolley runs 9 am - 10 pm every 30 minutes. During the summer we ONLY rent Saturday to Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day. LINENS AND TOWELS ARE NOT INCLUDED. Please bring your own.

Proximity to downtown was great. Tranquil backyard. Great value.
I stayed here for 10 weeks and the house was very convenient with it being right on the trolley route. Ajar and his wife were wonderful and staying in constant communication making sure eveything was going well since I was there for such a long stay. I loved my first summer in Bethany and look forward to many more.
Overall we had a nice stay, the house was fine. The owner was responsive to our questions and checked in with us to make sure we got in to the house fine upon our arrival.
Great house! We had a great time. We loved the deck and the screened porch. Would definitely stay there again.
Wonderful experience! The neighborhood is amazing, the house has plenty of space, and the hosts were super communicative! 2 living rooms made the kids happy. Lots of space for my dogs. I have never had a host be so friendly and available! Definitely recommend!
Rented the house for a getaway weekend with friends, to unplug. Was a great place and great location for us. We would diffently stay here again.
The owners went above and beyond to make sure we were cared for. They wanted this to be a comfortable stay. They had great communication and are very kind, helpful and thoughtful. Thank you!!
The backyard and back deck are lovely and idyllic. There is a creek/canal in the back and it is very peaceful to look at. The neighborhood is quiet and charming too. They also have a pool table and a grill for guests to use. Also, there is a very easy entry through the garage and we ended up not even needing to find or use the keys. The downsides: The house has a bad, musty odor. We arrived at 10pm (after hanging out nearby with the rest of our family at the house where they were staying) only to find that there were people in the house. We called the owner and were told they were probably the cleaners. It turned out that they were. They were finishing up. He was not at all apologetic. And check in was much earlier so we would have arrived at a dirty rental. We also couldn’t find the sheets and had to track them down. Again, the person was not apologetic and made it our problem. We eventually found 3 sets of queen/full sheets but no King size that would fit the largest bed (which is a King). So we had to borrow sheets from our relatives’ house in order to be able to sleep in the bed. The King size bed was overly soft, likely very old and gave me back pain. We had to also borrow an air mattress from our relatives because I couldn’t sleep in that bed. Also, the full size bed in the bedroom nearest the steps was broken (the bottom right leg) when we got there. My sister had to put a pile of books underneath the metal frame to hold it up. Otherwise that side collapsed. It was a bad feeling to arrive at a place that isn’t being checked upon to make sure it is suitable for guests/renters. My niece ended up sleeping in her parents’ bed because the bed that was broken also was way too soft and uneven. It seemed like a rental that was not being looked after. Overall this place could be so nice if they updated the beds, no broken ones, if they got rid of the musty smell, and if they had clear consistency about where things are (sheets) and had the place cleaned before check in.
The house is very conveniently located on the Beach Trolley route and near everything! Could easily accommodate 8-10 for sleeping. A little tight for gathering that many inside, though. Lovely deck, screen porch and yard. On the canal. Deer in the morning! Comfortable homey atmosphere.
This house provided the amount of room needed for our family and the neighborhood was extremely nice. The whole family loved riding the trolley to the beach and back into town in the evening. The screened in porch was relaxing and the deck provided ample room for the family to dine outside. The only negative comment I could say is that the house could benefit from a bit of TLC.
We had a great stay in the Beach Lovers Retreat. Enjoyed the spaciousness of the home, inside & out & had a great week with our children & grandchildren, plenty of room for all of us to be together. The property was well maintained, and the hosts were very responsive to our questions. The proximity to the beach & downtown was good; can be easily walked or you can conveniently ride the trolley (.25 cents) that picked us up in front of the house.
