    The Pilot House was absolutely wonderful for our family. A welcoming home with the bonus of a relaxing pool area where we spent much of our time. Our host Rosemary was super responsive and had great information about the area. Bethany is a fabulous beach with a small town feel and the location of this house was fabulous ... close enough to be convenient, but a little ways away from the noise and bustle of town. I highly recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!!

    Everything was perfect except the weather but apparently Rosemary the host, couldn’t help with that! Wish we could have enjoyed the beautiful pool more but so glad we had a gorgeous home to spend most of our rainy days in. Rosemary was a fabulous host and wonderful to talk to. The welcome basket was great and so unexpected. Amazing place to stay!!

    Lovely location and property. The whole family really enjoyed the pool. Used it every day after the beach giving us time to reconnect at the end of the day. Rosemary was very prompt with fixing any issues we had. Location is any easy bike ride to the beach, grocery store and a few bike trails. The owners had two bikes, severalKayaks and beach chairs for our use which we took advantage of. Recommend bringing extra paper products as what was supplied did not last more than a day for our group of 14. Nice quiet location

    We had a wonderful time vacationing here. The pool was a big hit with the whole family from seniors to little kids. From the dining room you can see the Salt Pond. The community crabbing pier is just down the block. Can't say enough about the hospitality of the owners.

    Rosemary was a lovely host--- she really took into consideration what we wanted to do on vacation-- giving plenty of recommendations for kids and adults. She included special touches for everyone. House is just as described and pool was a hit too. The beach is about a 5 minute drive (if that). Thanks Rosemary!

    The house was clean and our family enjoyed our stay. However, sheets are not included. The owner said it is listed on site that they are extra for 150, but I could not find it at that time. Towels were not washed. Ice maker was broken and not repaired. Pool was not cleaned until the 3rd day. The owner did give us a 50 gift card for the arcade; the kids had a good time.

    The owner was very attentive to our needs. We wish we were closer to the beach but we were able to enjoy the pool, the pier, and the state beach, which was only a 10-15 mins drive away.

    The house is beautiful and roomy. Wonderful layout. The pool was perfect. Short little walk to Salt Pond for kayaking and crabbing. So close to downtown Bethany, everything you need right there.

    Our family - eight adults and four children - ages 7-14 - had a wonderful week in Bethany at this property. The house was perfect and the salt water pool kept kids and grownups happy when we we weren’t at Bethany Beach, Rehoboth, or Ocean City. The location was perfect - as was the weather. The location provided running trails, access to a kayak pond, and was only a short drive to Hocker’s grocery. All this made for a very pleasant week away!

    Perfect location, secluded and yet close to the beach and many other activities. House is very comfortable for all ages. The host is delightful and an absolute pleasure to work with. We had another fabulous week. Thank you Rosemary.

    Spent a wonderful week in this beautiful home. Accommodated the 12 of us very nicely. Kitchen well stocked and happy to see a Keurig. Some of us enjoyed the kayaks on the bay and crabbing from the pier only a short walk away. The free parking passes for the beach were appreciated. Since it was a very hot week, the lovely pool was probably our favorite pastime. The owners were very friendly and helpful when needed. Would not hesitate to stay in this rental again.

    This was our yearly family trip to Bethany. With the grandkids nearly adults we didn’t mind being a bit farther away. We usually stay close to the beach. The property was clean and the pool inviting. We had close access to the highway but yet not on top of it. We enjoyed crabbing at the Salt Pond too. Everyone we encountered was friendly. Our only negative comment would be to have access to a second refrigerator. With 5 bedrooms and 10 + people staying it would be very helpful. Otherwise it was everything we could ask for.
