Bethany Beach, Delaware
Welcome to The Salt Shack...our beautiful open floor plan beach retreat. This three-story home is decorated and furnished in a tasteful mid-century modern/industrial rustic theme...with a beachy twist! The 2016 season was the first time the house was offered as a rental and each rental season the Salt Shack is refreshed with new decorations and amenities. The unique floor plan of this home offers three very private bedrooms, each with its own full bath (two en-suite.)
We have everything you need to enjoy your time in Bethany Beach. Not only is our home a bright, open, beautiful place to relax and enjoy yourself, but we are steps away (literally!) from the pool (indoor and outdoor), playground, gym, fishing ponds, boating/kayaking access, basketball courts, tennis courts, shuffleboard, pickleball, driving range, and our own highly-regarded 18-hole golf course. This is an incredible family retreat in a peaceful community at an affordable price!

We loved this house! Here's why: You can walk to most of the amenities. Golf, driving range, pools, clubhouse, tennis, etc. are all with in walking distance. Kayaks are a short drive. The kayaks are at the boat launch already so you don't have to haul them down there. It's about a 5 min drive to the beach and downtown. There's also a supermarket at the entrance to Salt Pond...very convenient! This house had everything! We love to cook so we brought a few pots, pans and other kitchen items. There was no need! The kitchen was stocked way past our expectations. It also had beach chairs, umbrellas, fishing rods, bikes, kayaks, boogie boards, etc! Again, no need to bring your own. The backyard was so peaceful and relaxing! The deck area has a large dining table, a cooking area with a BBQ, a bunch of plants and flowers and an outdoor shower. The backyard is wooded, had a hammock and a firepit and there is a small pond. The plants and flowers seemed a little thirsty when we arrived so I adopted them as my own and watered them a few times. Even the couple that I had no hope for made a full recovery!! Robin was great! She responded quickly before and during our stay with some questions we had. The owners did a great job leaving helpful tips around the house to make the different features easier to navigate. i.e the oven. You will not regret booking this house. If you do please leave a week open for us next summer lol.
We have stayed at the Salt Shack many times and it is always clean and welcoming. The main living area is open and spacious and perfect for families to spend time together. It is a short drive to the beach, the boardwalk and an even shorter drive to the grocery store. The Salt Pond community is very friendly and you will always see families taking walks, bike rides and going to the pool. My family looks forward to our trip to the Salt Shack every time.
The house had everything you can need. A fabulous location in a peaceful community. Easy drive to beach.
The Salt Shack property is a lovely home in a very nice neighborhood. It is well furnished and supplied with everything one might need, including recreation. We were quite surprised with bicycles, beach chairs, and everything else in the garage! Thank you!! The only downside, we feel, is the lack of a screened porch to escape from the flying, biting insects. We felt a bit walled in and couldn't enjoy the evenings as much as we would have liked. Other than that, we had a grand vacation.
Cozy home with all the amenities for children, pets and families. Absolutely, one of the best homes I have stayed in and I believe it's our fourth time staying here.. We will be back next year. Thanks to Robin , the property manager who is very attentive with any questions you may have.. Also, we would like to say thank you to the homeowners for sharing their cozy beach home.... See you nexy Summer!

We loved the house. Great location, lots of amenities in the home and salt pond community. Good communication from property manager. Already planning to stay again next year!
We enjoyed our stay at the Salt Shack. The neighborhood is wonderful and community center was a lot of fun. The house is beautiful and fit our family needs perfectly.
This was our second time staying at the “Salt shack” and we will be back next year! Always clean, comfortable and it just fits our family’s needs perfectly…. Our grandkids just love it, our four year old calls it our beach house ?
This is our second time at The Salt Shack and it was great.
A terrific house to rent.
