Go on a shopping spree on the boardwalk for some adorable knickknacks to bring home, then feast at one of the delicious dine-in restaurants. You'll be just three blocks from the beach, so set up on the shores and relax as you feel the soothing ocean breeze. Afterward, wash the sand off in the large outdoor shower. Treat your family to ice cream at the nearby parlor, or rent a bike and ride across the beautiful coastline.

Lovely, quiet neighborhood, just minutes from the beach. Nicely wooded lot, house has tons of window and a huge open space, so very bright and inviting. Extremely pet friendly. We had a great week staying there with 3 generations of family and their respective pups.

Great Location, Clean, and Amazing Neighborhood

House was very clean and the communication from before check-in through check-out was exceptional! I would highly recommend this house for a summer rental - private beach, quiet neighborhood and close to everything!

Bethany Beach

Great location in a quiet neighborhood with a short walking distance to the beach. The home reminded me of the woods, with the smell of pine trees and sea salt in the morning. Ample parking in a private driveway, with a beautiful yard. Convenient to shopping and great restaurants.

Great getaway!

A breezy oasis surrounded by pines and hydrangea! Quiet, clean, comfy. Outstanding deck. The grill could use an update, it seems to be dying. Will return, my family and I had a lovely time.

The house is wonderful and comfortable. We really enjoyed the location and house itself and would definitely go back. You can tell that the owner has made an effort to make people feel welcome and the house has a warm, comfy vibe. A wonderful plus that it's dog-friendly! Our two little dogs loved walking around the nice neighborhood. Thank you!

Great stay!

We really enjoyed this house for our weekend visit to the beach. The house was clean and had plenty of space for our group. It was also convenient to many restaurants and not too far from the beach!

Easy process

Very responsive communication, easy check in and out. House was nicely stocked with necessities (with the exception of toilet paper -if you’re filling the house with people bring some extra toilet paper).

Vacasa is Terrible

The toilet broke (happens) but dealing with Vacase (the property mangers) was a nightmare. Took all day to get a simple fix. We asked for a late checkout as compensation. No answer for two days. So we left at the specified time. An hour later they called to give us the late checkout. Thanks for nothing. When I asked for other compensation they didn't respond for days. Finally gave me a $25 credit that didn't even begin to cover the hassle of working with them. Never ever use Vacasa.
