We are located just 5 minutes to the heart of Bethany Beach - with the Beach, Boardwalk, Shops, Restaurants and 15 minutes or less from Delaware Seashore State Park home of fishing, surfing, swimming, and dining!

James Farm Ecological Preserve is a quick bike ride or walk, (or free parking) with Walking/Running Trails, and where a quick contact to Ecobay Rentals will allow you access to Stand Up Paddle Boarding and Kayaks. You could hike for several hours of well maintained paths.

Hickman Road trail offers a 3-mile loop perfect to explore the park, and a 0.3 mile side trail that leads to a view of the Indian River Bay. Trail users can observe forest succession as they travel through meadow habitat that was once a farm. Be on the lookout for wild turkeys and other grassland birds. The trail is grass or packed sand and is open for hiking, bicycling, and seasonal horseback riding.

Holts Landing Trail or the Sea Hawk Trail meanders through mixed hardwood and conifer forest, crosses a meadow, then follows the shoreline of the Indian River Bay. Birding and other wildlife viewing opportunities abound as you experience the coastal bays environment along the trail.

    Perfect location! Will stay in Ocean View again! House needs some updating, such as area rugs, carpets and outside patio cushions, however very manageable!

    Great stay minutes from beaches and boardwalk. Quiet neighborhood great to bring bikes or scooters for kids. Minutes from the purple trail and a few others with nice look out point (pictured).

    This property is not to be slept on, but definitely slept in. Great location, clean open floor concept, tons of included amenities, and within walking distance of plenty of local food and drink. If you want to be close to Bethany Beach, be in a small community setting, and have an enough room to both feel at home and host a party, this is the place for you. Highly recommended.

    This property was well appointed with all necessary things for a relaxing stay and then some. The beds were made when we arrived and the owners even provided some personal care times in the bathroom. Towels were available and laundry was convenient. The location of the house was amazing for heading to towers beach and the smaller fishing beaches. Being in between rehoboth and ocean city was a very convenient spot to explore both cities. There was a lovely nature reserve just a short drive away that our kids really enjoyed as when it was low tide (around 12,1pm ish) you could walk so far out into the bay and explore the floor of the bay and the life it had to offer. Overall a really lovely stay in a beautiful home.

    Nice rental away from alot of the hustle and bustle but a quick drive to the beach. Living room/kitchen/dining space seemed a little tight but we spent most of our time at the beach.

    Property is well maintained, clean, stocked kitchen, beds were already made upon arrival. Check-in process was a smooth, no issues. They even had beach chairs and umbrella for us to use which was a nice bonus. House had everything we needed! Great location as its a quick 5 min drive to Bethany Beach and a 1 min drive to the nature preserve. Would absolutely stay here again!

    Great location. Quality Tommy Bahama beach chairs. Useful to know the house sways from time to time depending on wind conditions, being on stilts. Ample parking.

    The home was great, very clean, well-stocked kitchen, lots of towels, nice furnishings, etc., basically everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Close to hiking which was wonderful for runners, cylists, nature lovers. It is a developing area a little outside of Bethany Beach. Weekend driving to Bethany can be a bear because of traffic and parking so we opted for the state and national beaches (Delaware and Assateague) which were far superior, in our opinion. Samantha was very responsive to our questions and needs and that was a huge plus! One suggestion I would make would be to install blinds or shades on both the side kitchen windows and the kitchen door for privacy. It felt a little exposed especially when the neighbors were sitting out on their deck watching us prepare dinner or breakfast. Otherwise a great value.
