Bethany Beach, Delaware
We welcome our 'extended family' to The Gosling! 2023 celebrates our 18th year of offering 'The Gosling' as a rental property.
'The Gosling' is 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, 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 Labor Day weekend. Once you stay in Sussex Shores, you will forever be spoiled and will never want to return to a crowded public beach!!
The house is located 75 yards from the dunes and is a one-story (Deceptively large once inside) - no hassling with staircases! The Master Bedroom has a queen bed. Bedroom #2 has two sets of built-in twin bunk beds. Bedroom #3 has two twin beds. Bedroom #4 has two twin beds. All bedrooms are located on the back side of the house, separated from the living room, dining room, kitchen and laundry area by a hallway. The sunroom opens off the kitchen, dining area and screened porch. There is an excellent outdoor shower with changing area - you'll never want to shower indoors again!
In addition to the listed amenities, our beach house features a living room and dining area, a sunroom, and screened porch complete with outdoor stereo speakers. A detached shed is provided for storage of your beach gear - bikes, chairs, umbrellas, rafts, boogie boards, surf boards, fishing rods, etc. Beach chairs and a beach umbrella are provided. Porch / Sunroom Awnings - Providing additional privacy and afternoon shade. Hardwood Floors throughout the house. Granite kitchen & bathroom counter tops.
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, please visit my 4 bedroom Townhouse listing, also in Sussex Shores (3 blocks away) that sleeps 9 at VRBO #632751.
If you would like to rent towels, linens and other vacation supplies during your visit to The Gosling instead of bringing your own, Coastal Rentals (free delivery) offers a variety of choices. If you are interested, let me know and I will put you in contact with them. Likewise, the Bethany Bike Shop which offers rental bikes and kayaks is conveniently located within walking distance. They offer a full compliment of rental bikes for adults and children.

A great week at the beach! The Gosling was very clean and the location can’t be beat. The Sussex Shores beach is the best because it isn’t crowded. Art was easy to work with. Hope to return next summer!
The home was beautiful yet very comfortable for us and my daughter’s family. Very short walk to a private beach. Everything we needed was provided from beach items to cleaning and disinfecting products. Perfect community as welll. Many thanks to the owners. We hope to return next year!!
Beautiful property in my favorite town!
Our family had a great time staying at the Gosling. Art was a kind and helpful host, and the home was extremely well equipped. As we were traveling with two little ones, that was much appreciated. There was an abundance of beach supplies, which made our packing much, much easier. The neighborhood of Sussex Shores in north Bethany Beach was perfect. This private beach wasn't crowded, and was close enough to walk into the quaint Bethany downtown area. Further, the home is well maintained and spacious, and our family had a wonderful time. We'd highly recommend this property and we hope to have an opportunity to stay at the Gosling in the future!
Wow, what a charming beach cottage!! It’s filled with natural light, meticulously maintained, feels like ‘home’, fully equipped with beach gear, cooking supplies, everything we needed to make our week absolutely perfect. The location is amazing as well… 3 minute walk to the beach and less than 15 minutes to town. We can’t wait to return!!
My husband and I rented this lovely home along with our adult daughters and their boyfriends. The home was very comfortable and had all of the conveniences for a great vacation. We spent many mornings on the sun porch having our coffee and many happy hour evenings on the outdoor picnic table! The kitchen was very well stocked. Cooking dinner was a breeze! The beach toys, chairs, umbrella, and cart were an added plus too! Also, the beach is a convenient walk up the street, no roads to cross, and it is private! No crowds and no worries to finding that perfect location next to the water! The owner is very responsive and keeps this home immaculate! This was the perfect rental!
We had a lovely experience at the Gosling! Perfect house for one or two young families. We appreciated the sand toys, boogie boards, and well stocked kitchen. Great location too! The owner was very responsive to our questions. We’d love to stay here again!
The Gosling is a wonderful well appointed property with everything you need to enjoy a great vacation. The property is ideally located with an easy walk to a private beach and a nice stroll to town. The owner obviously cares about his guests and making sure they enjoy their time at the Gosling. It is impeccably maintained and has all the comforts of home away from home. Cheers to The Gosling and thanks for a wonderful stay!
We stayed here with my elderly parents and children under 5 years old. Having everything on one level w minimal steps was amazing! The location made it easy to walk to the beach and come back to the house if anyone needed a nap or forgot something. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walks. It’s an easy walk to restaurants and shops as well. Definitely highly recommend!
We had an amazing time at The Gosling. The house was stocked with everything you need and more! Beautiful house and great location on the private beach but still close to town. Hosts were wonderful and very quick to respond. We will definitely be back!
