Bethany Beach, Delaware
Goose Island was completely renovated in the Fall of 2020 - new kitchen, new bathrooms (3), new flooring throughout the entire house, new composite decking on all 3 levels and fresh paint throughout the house! Goose Island is brighter, modernized, more comfortable and ready to accommodate our family of guests!
Our townhouse (Unit #1 - an end unit) is spacious 3-story townhouse located in Sussex Shores which is the first private community north of Fifth Street and the Town of Bethany Beach. It is within walking or biking distance to town, shopping, and restaurants (less than half mile from town center). Sussex Shores is a quiet, safe and family-oriented community with a private beach, private roads, and off-street parking.
Access to the community and beach is controlled by private security. Because it is a private beach, it is never crowded and has a staff of full-time lifeguards from mid-June through mid September. Once you stay in Sussex Shores, you will forever be spoiled and will never want to return to a crowded public beach!!
The town house is located 75 yards from the dunes and is a 3-story design! The Master Bedroom (Bedroom #1) has a queen bed with full bath en suite. Bedroom #2 has a queen bed. Bedroom #3 has two twin beds. The 3rd floor loft (Bedroom #4) has three twin beds. Three bedrooms are located on the first floor of the townhouse, as well as the laundry area and two full baths. The second level has the living room, kitchen, dining room and full bath. The third level offers an upstairs sleeping area with three twin beds. All three levels have accessible outside decks. In addition, there is an excellent outdoor shower with changing area on the ground floor level!
In addition to the listed amenities, we provide beach chairs and an umbrella for the beach. Weekly Rentals are Friday to Friday, thus avoiding weekend traffic snarls! Maid service (at the conclusion of your visit) is included in the rental fee, as well as the Sussex Shores Beach Association Rental Assessment.
If your vacation plans require a 2nd home for family and friends, please visit my listing for The Gosling, also in Sussex Shores (a 2 minute walk) that sleeps 10 at www.vrbo.com/52215.
If you would like to rent towels, linens and other vacation supplies during your visit instead of bringing your own, Coastal Rentals (Millville, DE) offers a variety of choices. Ask for Joe Garner. Likewise, the Bethany Bike Shop is conveniently located (almost next door) and offers a full complement of rental bikes for adults and children. Ask for Joe or George.
Very comfortable house. Clean, kitchen well stocked for cooking. Lovely beach just a few houses away
I highly recommend Goose Island to anyone looking for a quality rental in Bethany Beach. The kitchen was well stocked with every amenity needed to prep meals for our family. The decor is lovely, creating a warm and comfortable beach feeling. I was a bit concerned about the walking distance to downtown Bethany, but it was no problem at all for my 4- and 6-year-old grandchildren. Access to the private beach was amazing. We had so much room to throw a football and spread out. We quickly became spoiled not having to fight the crowd for a spot near the water! Overall excellent experience!
It was wonderful. Grandchildren had week together which is why I get a place every year. I have my children and grandchildren with me and that's so important to me especially in my old age. We all had a great time. ???
Our group loved this rental! Beautiful and peaceful! Highly recommend as private beach was so wonderful and walking to town so easy! Homeowner is fantastic to work with!! We will be back!!!!
Goose Island is a beautifully decorated, newly renovated, and very clean townhouse located only one block from the beach and within walking distance to town. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and a lovely dining table that can seat up to 8 people. There are sizable decks and sliders off of every bedroom. The beds were very comfortable as was the living room furniture. This house also comes with plenty of good beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach toys, and board games. We enjoyed our week there and look forward to staying at Goose Island again!
We stayed at Goose Island for our first time at Bethany Beach, and we would happily return. The house was exactly as pictured in the listing - clean, well-maintained, more than enough space for 2 families with infants and 2 convenient parking spaces right outside the front door. Access to the private beach is so ridiculously easy (a 30 second walk just down the block) that we went 3x a day. The entrance to the boardwalk is a pleasant 5-10 minute walk away on quiet streets. We mostly did takeout for our meals (plenty boardwalk or boardwalk adjacent options, but about half were closed Mon- Wed during the week of September we were there), and otherwise picked up light groceries at the nearby Giant (10 min drive). From booking to check-out, Art was courteous and professional. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!
Beautiful place, perfect location and set up for two families with toddlers meeting for the first time. Goose Island offered everything we needed.
This property is just as lovely as it appears online, and a very short walk to a wide, clean beach. We visited in September and the weather was gorgeous! Lots of delicious meals at area restaurants, too. Can't say enough about this property, and the owner is great to work with, very accommodating. Goose Island is the place to be!
We had a wonderful stay at Goose Island at Bethany Beach. Great location, plenty of room, clean and well maintained, and responsive and friendly host. Highly recommended!
Goose Island was beautifully done from top to bottom and exceptionally maintained. They provided everything for your accommodation, beach chairs, umbrellas & coolers! The bedrooms were perfect and the outdoor shower was everyone’s favorite! The water pressure in all the showers was great! The quick walk to the private beach and downtown is the greatest! Thank you!
