First time to Bethany Beach
Very quiet, very friendly neighborhood. The house was more than accommodating to all our needs. Will definitely be visiting again.

Not bad, mostly served its purpose.
We had 7 adults and 1 toddler for a week stay. I wouldn’t suggest that many people with the 2 bathrooms. The kitchen is barely equipped with the necessities and its very mismatched utensils. There were multiple lightbulbs out in the house and the fridge, I requested new ones and maintenance did replace them the next day. The screened porch was the highlight of the house. It was very quiet in the neighborhood but it is very far back. The beds and pillows were very firm. The pillow cases lacked double cases too. Several throw pillows and comforters were ripped, also requiring a report to maintenance. The grill would have been a better feature if it had gas. If you’re shorter than 6’ bring a stool to get things out of the washer. We resorted to using the grill tongs to get things out as they are on a platform made for front loaders not top loaders.

Plenty of space and not for from the beach
The property has a good locatin and and is big enough for a party of 8 (4 adults + 4 kids/teens) . The house could benefit from little upgrades. Carpets in the stairs are old and pretty dirty. Kitchen cabinet needs to be refreshed with durable paint
