Reviewer Comments:
This as a good rental for the price. I loved the porch and place was clean. Beds were comfortable and house was stocked well. Management company was VERY good especially helping me book last minute.
The property more than exceeded our expectations. You could tell that the property owners are meticulous and care about their guests having a great time at the beach. We have been vacationing in South Bethany for over 20 years. This is one of the best houses that we have stayed at. Thank you Fisher family!!
Great place! The family had so much fun. Great place for biking, kayaking paddleboards or boat and jet skis. Crabbing off the canal was fun. We gathered mussels nearby and the beach access was easy and not crowded. We were able to take the dogs on the beach and the entire family was together. We rented bikes for the littles nearby. Our first trip to Bethany and we will be back. Great neighbors, family atmosphere and people were so nice. Wilgus were great people and class acts. We also have a pet friendly rental and this place was run well.
