I’m afraid to leave the outstanding review I want to because I want this gem to be available again! What a wonderful week it was. This house had everything we could possibly need. Even with 3 days of storms we had fun. The house was spotless and fully stocked. The pool was great and thanks for sending the pool cleaner back a second time after the biggest storm of the week. A nice touch and we didn’t have to ask. Thanks for helping make our family vacation beyond lovely!

Great Time, But……
The house was amazing & large & open. Screen porch & pool PERFECT!! Would have loved to have some chairs on the two decks off of the master suite, though. And it sure would have been nice if the description of the one bedroom was more accurate. The twin bedroom was a loft & had a large skylight. Every room upstairs was shared by parents and children. This loft room made it very difficult for babies, sleeping and napping! Wish we had known it was open and so bright. Also, wish there was a lockbox and did not have to check in with the property management company first. Wasted time! The keys did not work in the front door and we had to walk through the garage every time we wanted to come in. Other than this the location was great and the fully stocked kitchen was a plus .

Enjoyable Stay in Bethany
Our family vacations in Bethany Beach annually and have stayed in the salt pond area for the last several years. The house this year didn't disappoint. The outdoor pool area with pool house/bar/changing area is awesome. The inside was very open and comfortable for our family of 7. We look forward to next year.

Perfect
We loved this rental!! From its location to the pool in the back yard! The garage was equipped with everything needed to stay busy or we could just stay at the house if we wanted and swim. Very nicely done.

Great family get-away
Our family enjoyed the quick access to the beach along with our own private pool. The screened in porch was a plus for those who didn’t want to sit poolside but wanted to be a part of the outdoor fun. We also brought kayaks and enjoyed time on the Salt Pond. The nearby bike/hiking path was great for morning rides/walks.
The house was spacious and as shown in pictures. It would be nice to have some bigger pots/pans and at least a couple 9x13 baking dishes.
Our family had a great time and hope to return.

The perfect spot
Three families with kids aged 4-9. The pool was perfect! The house layout gave everyone enough space to not feel on top of eachother. We enjoyed the kayak the owners leave for use at the pond right at the end of the street:) The biking trails and even just biking lanes got us where we needed to go from the house to town. It was overall a perfect week!

Overall, Not bad.
Communication before the trip was lacking. We were suppose to make final payment sometime in June and around mid July I hadn't heard anything about the final payment. I reached out to the property manager and they said it probably went to my spam folder. Also, I would have expected more instructions about check in process, had I not called I would have had no idea. Check in was quick and smooth. However, upon getting to the house it was apparent the house was never cleaned. There was food all over the table, on the floor, etc... We contacted the property manager and to their credit they got a crew there instantly to clean the house. It delayed us and wasn't easy with young kids who had just traveled approximately 7 hours but we made it work. It was a HUGE error on the property managers part. I will say they were extremely apologetic and we did come to a remedy that in my opinion was fair. A bad situation was made right and at the end of the day mistakes happen and I thought they handled it well. The house itself was as expected. No complaints. About a 5 min drive to the beach
