You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious Home Close to the Beach and Bay - 5 bedroom w/Separate In-Law Suite!

Perfectly located steps away from the bay and a short car ride to the beach and James Farm Ecological Park, this charming and exquisitely decorated home has enough room for your entire family or multiple families to come together and enjoy the beach life!

The main house has one bedroom and a full bathroom on the first floor as well as three bedrooms upstairs with two full bathrooms. Off of the primary suite is a tranquil sitting area which could be used as an office, nursery or additional bedroom (if you bring blow up mattress). Above the large garage is a separate in-law suite with a king bed, kitchenette, full bathroom, living and dining area, and even a private entrance!

Inside the home you'll find two large family rooms on separate ends of the house with big comfy couches and smart TVs. Perfect for hanging out, playing games, watching movies, or just relaxing after a long day on the bay or at the beach.

The garage was recently renovated and now features a ping-pong table, 52” smart TV, Bluetooth sound bar and a full fridge/freezer.

Outside you'll find a brand new propane grill, outdoor shower, a large patio and two porches - all with plenty of seating!

Have a boat, jet skis or a kayak? Bring it! In addition to a pool and tennis/pickleball courts, the community has a boat ramp & a day dock, and the water way leads to the Indian River Bay and inlet.

Beautiful and spacious house
This property was a beautifully decorated house and had plenty of room for our family of 7. It was a quick ride to the beach and was surrounded by lots of good restaurants. We also liked how close it was to the supermarket! It was a quick walk to the pool and to the boat ramp, which we walked to in the evenings. My family appreciated the 2 sitting areas with TVs, so people could watch different shows if they wanted! My kids enjoyed the set-up in the garage with a TV, ping pong, large Jenga and fridge. The owner was quick to answer our questions both before and during our stay. The neighborhood was beautifully kept and quiet. Wonderful property and house!

Coastal Highway Retreat
This house has the perfect layout for multiple households of the same family. There was the option to gather as the full group and for individuals or small groups to quiet have space. The location allows easy access to the various venues and beaches up and down the coastal highway. Chris was Un-Be-Liveably responsive.

We had a great week here. I loved that our group could spread out to have a space of their own but then there were two great spaces for us all to come together. The hosts were very responsive and communicated well. Overall we loved the house and would definitely rent again.

Beautiful house
We just stayed at this property the house is big and has plenty of room for a family of 10. Everyone had their own space and you didn’t feel on top of each other. The house was clean upon arrival and it was really nice that fresh linens and towels had been delivered for our stay. The house is so nicely decorated and comfortable. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had which was very much appreciated. The garage with the tv and ping pong table was a big hit with the kids and adults alike. It does get warm in there so being able to open the garage door to let in some breeze was a huge plus. The in law sweet is so nicely done my sister enjoyed being there. The fact their are 2 living rooms was helpful as the kids could watch their own and we could watch ours. The pool is sooo close to the house and nice size the kids enjoyed it. Overall we had a wonderful stay and we would definitely rent it again. The location is very convenient as well. We are very close to Bethany boardwalk and beaches less than 10 min if even that. The grocery store is 5 min away. Fenwick island beach was nice spot to go to. It wasn’t to far and it was less crowded and easier parking than Bethany. Also they have kayaking across on the bay side which was fun. Highly recommend the house

Enjoyable stay
The home was comfortable and well stocked for our family. The host, Chris was great, very quick to respond and helped us with several needs. There was lots of room for our family and very comfortable beds. The cleaning service needs to be more attentive, especially in the entry family room and the garage. The ping pong table is set up in the garage where were many spiderwebs and spiders. We used the grill for burgers and hot dogs one night and the grill was usable but it is to the point where it needs to be replaced. We used the neighborhood pool most days and it was very nice. Most days there were only a couple other people there. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic Stay
This house was everything it said was in the listing. We had three couples spending Labor Day Weekend. We were a short drive to the beach and across the street from the tennis court and pool. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook delicious meals. (too crowded to eat out!) The second fridge in the garage was great. We didn't have to make too may trips to the grocery and our beverages were cold! We had televisions in both living rooms...perfect for football and tennis. Note: We used our YoutubeTV account to watch HD ESPN, etc. The beds were very comfortable. Everyone had their own bathroom, too! Decorating was colorful and bright! Chris was very easy to communicate with. He responded very quickly to all questions! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends!

Great place for families
We were very happy with our accommodations here. It was clean, convenient, spacious, and fit our needs perfectly. The location is ideal for a family vacation--quiet, great pool, about 3 miles from Bethany Beach, about half a mile to a nature preserve on Indian River Bay where you can rent kayaks and SUPs. The kitchen is well equipped--it even has a coffee grinder and coffee maker besides the Keurig. There is a blow dryer in each of the bathrooms. The WIFI is great and there are TVs in the family rooms, master bedroom, and master sitting room. It was the perfect place for our extended family of 6 (2 grandparents, 2 kids, and 2 grandkids) to be together when we wanted to and to be alone when we needed to.

A Spacious Home
Beautifully decorated with two living rooms gave my family plenty of space to play and watch TV. Loved the in-law suite above the garage giving a quiet place for grandma to retreat. Location was very convenient to drive to the beach or walk to the pool. Had a few issues with the storm door refusing to close, low water pressure in one shower, and ants in the kitchen and one living room, but the owner was very responsive by sending a maintenance person right away. We loved our first stay at Bethany Beach!

A great rental for a relaxed family reunion
Our family had an enjoyable stay at this rental and we would recommend it to others. The host was very responsive and provided all information in a timely and detailed way. The instructions were clear and the descriptions about what to expect and what was available were accurate. We arrived in two cars, and we were glad the driveway was large enough to accommodate them without having to do tight maneuvers. We were easily able to access the beach and the (secure and well kept) community pool and had adequate space for family members to spend time together or apart as they wished in the house. In particular, having a separate "in-law" sleeping quarters was useful, as was having two separate living rooms, because it meant that adults and older children were able to be unhampered in talking and playing games while the baby of the family napped and went down early for bed. All seating was comfortable, as were the bedrooms and beds. We were grateful not to have to bring our own linens (and when we were missing a fitted sheet, it was easy to get one by following some simple instructions). We were especially happy to have a washer and dryer (due to beach trips and having young kids, who inevitably generate a bunch of dirty clothes) and were able to relax comfortably due to well-functioning A/C and access to a ping pong table (super fun!). The kitchen had sufficient cookware, the grocery store was nearby, and the neighborhood was quiet. It really was ideal for a family vacation. If we had to note any disadvantages (there were very few), they would be that the cleaning service that is used is perhaps not as comprehensive as one would wish. We found dried food, candy wrappers, and even small toys under and behind coffee and side tables, and there were some ants in the kitchen/dining area. There was no regular drip coffee machine (just a Keurig, so we ended up buying an inexpensive drip machine and left it at the rental) and the propane tank was very low, which we only realized when we were halfway through grilling food and ended up having to finish cooking in a pan in the kitchen. An adjoining room flanking one of the bedrooms was suggested to be a good place to have children sleep, but we found that it didn't really work--at least not for small children with early bedtimes, as there are several windows (including one that is out of reach) that stream in light that cannot be blocked. It would have been a bonus to have to have a crib.

I am a regular VRBO traveler and would rate this location as one of the nicest and best located of all the places we have stayed. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, spacious and had everything we needed to feel at home. It was close to the beach, hardware store and supermarket.
