It’s a very beautiful house with well thought out space for big families. The location is great in downtown Bethany where you can walk to everything. The owner and house manager were a pleasure to work with. My family and I would love to stay there again.
My 3 sisters and our families had a wonderful stay at The Big Easy. It’s honestly tough to say what we liked best about the house- our kids loved the back porch, bunk rooms, and kids’ hangout room. The adults loved the spacious great room and proximity to everything- it’s an easy walk to the beach and to town. Thanks to the thoughtful layout, we were more than comfortable even as a larger group. We truly felt “at home” and made memories during this trip that we will never forget. Thank you to Sandy as well for being so responsive and welcoming! We hope to return.
It was a wonderful week at our favorite beach and our new favorite rental. The Big Easy is just that. The home provided everything needed for our family to relax and enjoy each other.
We held our fifth annual family vacation here this year. There were enough bedrooms and room for all of us to spread out. The kitchen was well equipped for almost any kind of cooking. The kids loved being on the ocean side of the highway and so close to the shops, especially the ice cream and candy stores!
Our family had a wonderful week at “The Big Easy.” Over the years we have stayed in dozens of rentals up and down the eastern seaboard and everyone agreed this was the nicest and most cared for. Everyone enjoyed the well-equipped and nicely appointed kitchen and cooking up wonderful meals. Location is great to walk to town for ice cream and bandstand, and the included umbrella and chair service for the beach made for a lot less to haul the two blocks. Tip for future guests: use the exhaust fan over the stove early and often when cooking with heat. It will help dissipate the residual heat and keep the third floor a more comfortable temp for everyone.
Our best Bethany trip to date and it had everything to do with the house and location. 4 adult sisters, their families and Nonna spent a week and loved every minute of it. The home is comfortable, clean and well-equipped, not to mention, just beautifully decorated. If I had one concern it was that maybe the house was TOO NICE for us, but turns out we didn't mind that at all! We, adults, loved that the beach and boardwalk were so close and we could let the kids come and go without concern.
The location, the cleanliness, the stocked kitchen tools, the spacious bedrooms, pre-reserved beach umbrellas and chairs, the list could go on! This home is beautiful and well kept. We had such a great stay at The Big Easy and truly enjoyed all that this home had to offer. Can’t wait to come back!
We had a great time at this amazing house! It was everything the pictures showed and more! The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to easily cook all the meals we wanted. Two dishwashers were brilliant! The open floor concept made family time cozy and comfortable, but when anyone needed their own time they could comfortable retreat to the privacy of their own rooms! We look forward to coming back!!!
We stayed at The Big Easy for Thanksgiving and the house is absolutely wonderful! Upon our arrival we met with Sandy, the house manager, and she walked us through the house. She's terrific! The house is in perfect condition, incredibly comfortable, very clean and has a well stocked kitchen. The location cannot be beat and our only complaint is that we had to leave after a week!!!! It was a wonderful getaway for our entire family! We hope to return! p.s. Sandy is a photographer and we came home with some fabulous family photos! A
Our family was extremely happy with the property - it had everything we needed and more. Our grandchildren never missed having a swimming pool. The guys drove to the beach early each day to get your provided rental chairs and umbrellas and picked a spot on the beach. They also set up our chairs & umbrellas we brought from home (as we had a group of 15) the girls made lunch and packed the coolers, body boards, sand toys and we all headed out for our fun day. The walk to the beach was a 5 minute walk. We also brought our sand /beach cart which helped a lot. The showers in the garage area were the best for cleaning up after coming home. The open family room area was great for our sing - dance - along we had one night with the children - they had so much fun they asked to do it again the next night! We had plenty of parking for our cars. . A home not to miss !!!
Great property and location. Even though this is just across the street from the Bethany Firehouse, never had a problem with that. There was construction next door but not much anyone can do about that. Overall, we loved it and will hopefully get it in 2023.
Home was beautiful, comfortable and clean. Very close to beach and boardwalk.
The home was beatiful and well appointed. Loved being only 1 1/2 blocks from the beach. The property managers - Sandy and her husband - were very helpful. Would highly recommend this property!
I can't say enough about how amazing this property is! The owners thought of everything. Sandy the property manager met us on arrival to give us a tour and answer any questions, she was lovely and available by text if we had any questions during the week. The house is stunning, spacious, very open floor plan. Plenty of bedrooms (3 masters) and bathrooms. The elevator was very useful for packing and unpacking the car as well as grocery runs or if you just didn't feel like walking up all the stairs:)-perfect for Grandparents who joined us on our trip! The rooms all had ceiling fans which we took advantage of. Each room had power strips with extension cords (again they thought of everything). These were very useful for my kids and teenages who always need to be charging something. There is a sprawling desk area if you need to do some work. I found myself needing tape and scissors at one point, and YES, they had it! 2 sets of washer/dryers ended up being fabulous, beach towels went right into the basement laundry area so we didn't have to lug them upstairs and we laundered our clothes on the main floor. Pillows & beds were comfy, plenty of light streams in the windows but also has great shades for the evening/nights. The screened in porch was fabulous too....with a ceiling fan for those warm nights. Also there is a teen lounge which was so great because the teenagers had a place to go that wasn't on the main floor where they could lounge and watch TV and be loud, away from the kitchen:) Every kitchen utensil or appliance was readily available. 2 blocks from the beach 1 from town, super easy to walk everywhere. I also have to mention that the 2 umbrella/4 chair rental that the owners provide each day was such a huge bonus! I really could go on and on, but you understand, we loved it! Thank you for allowing us to rent your gorgeous home. We will be back for sure.
beautiful and comfortable, lots of space to relax, house in a great area close to shopping and dining
