About this property

Entire place

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

**Direct OCEANFRONT!** Amazing views of Delaware Seashore State Park and Ocean!

This fantastic property was recently renovated throughout and is waiting for you to come stay!

" Views were spectacular. Our vacations have not compared since our stay here.''

"Every level of the house gave us fabulous views of the ocean; mesmerizing! We fell asleep listening to the waves crashing!...''

''many ocean views and sensation of really being at the beach every moment of our stay - that was what made it extraordinary...''
-- From our guests

If you vacation at the shore to enjoy the beach, then you've just found the perfect spot in a private, timeless beach home that's been a favorite getaway since the summer of '66....

LOCATION - This northernmost oceanfront home in Bethany Beach literally sits on the sand with the beach at your door and 2800 preserved acres of oceanfront and dunes to the north. Tucked away on one of the most tranquil and scenic spots along the mid-Atlantic with a wide sandy beach and natural, preserved setting, this unique beach home offers the opportunity to truly relax and immerse yourself in the beach experience 24/7 while on vacation.

FIVE PORCHES/DECKS & ENDLESS VIEWS - Beach views, ocean views, Delaware State Seashore views, Indian River Bay views, and views of a WWII coastal defense tower... Watch your family play on the beach just outside, have dinner oceanfront on the screened porch or take in a sunrise over the Atlantic while watching the dolphins (and occasional whale) swim and the fishermen at the State Seashore reel in their first catch of the day - all without leaving your house!

DIRECT OCEANFRONT - You can't get closer than this! Step off your deck and onto the private beach...No dragging chairs, coolers or kids for blocks or even over a dune crossing and no worries about finding a bathroom, packing up for lunch, or what to do with bored kids who want to go back to the house.

IDEAL LAYOUT INCLUDING TWO OCEANFRONT BEDROOMS EACH WITH THEIR OWN PRIVATE DECK - A spiral staircase leads to two oceanfront bedrooms letting you enjoy miles of unobstructed ocean and dune views with the sounds of surf crashing just outside your door. A great layout for families or two couples since each enjoys their own oceanfront room with beachfront deck or porch and separate bathrooms. The third bedroom is ideal for adults or kids with two additional double beds and the third floor loft offers extra living or sleeping space with a queen American Leather sleeper sofa. The queen sleeper/sectional sofa on the first floor provides additional sleeping options if needed.

ACTIVITIES - Beach and Delaware Seashore State Park just outside your door offering swimming, fishing, jogging and biking, kayaking and surfing plus beach volleyball at our oceanfront community court, private tennis courts, large playground, and a private gazebo. Some of the area's best biking and hiking trails and nature centers (Bethany Nature Center, James Farm, Bethany Lifesaving Center). Fantastic seafood restaurant right in the community with a great happy hour and even a walk up window for those nights when you don't feel like cooking! And don't forget to grab a snowcone as the Jeep rolls down Ocean Road in the late afternoon...

OR JUST RELAX - Life truly is a little slower here at the beach. If crowds, beach contests and loud parties are your thing, you'll likely find better choices. If you want to slow down a little, relax and make some great memories, you're in the right place and we look forward to hearing from you.

Beds: 2 kings, 2 fulls/doubles, 2 Queen Sleep Sofas.

Ordinarily, we try to keep the rental periods beginning and ending on Sundays, but exceptions are possible in the shoulder season. Feel free to contact us if you'd like to propose something outside what's posted here.

You can get a full beach day on check-in/check-out dates if you utilize the Delaware State Seashore South Inlet Day Area which is on the ocean 1 mile north of our house and includes a large parking area and facilities including changing rooms, snack bar and a guarded beach (www.destateparks.com/park/delaware-seashore).
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Perfect stay!

My family and I had a perfect stay at this amazing beach house. The house is truly beautiful, serene and is right on the beach. There are amazing ocean views provided by many windows and balconies and the decor is fabulous. Tom was a great host and we are looking forward to coming back. You instantly feel relaxed in this incredible house. The beds were also comfortable, which is important. It was definitely one of the best vacations we have ever had and the kids agree. Thanks, Tom!

Plenty of room, plenty of views

Loved the 2 oceanfront bedrooms and all the views and light because it is an end unit and has windows on the north side. Comfortable furnishings but the beds are soft. The convenience of staying ocean front cannot be beat. Would recommend, but caution that the spiral staircase needs careful navigation.

Great Home, Great Location, Literally WALK ONTO THE BEACH from the deck!

We enjoyed staying at the Tower Shores. The townhome has been renovated nicely - And the location is fantastic! WALK RIGHT ONTO THE BEACH FROM THE DECK! We loved that the property was between downtown Bethany and Rehobeth, as we like to frequent both towns. The Owners were very communicative & helpful when we had any questions before & during our stay; they even checked in on us to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. The neighbors we met (also Owners) were very kind too! We watched sunsets and sunrises from the balconies, and enjoyed hearing the waves all night long, it was incredibly tranquil. Overall, we had a great stay and would certainly consider returning! A few things of note: - The spiral staircase is certainly space saving, but quite dangerous for little kiddos. Our 2 year-olds gave us a few scares; but they did get better with the stairs as the days went on. - The home was surface-clean, but not at all deep cleaned; I do not fault the Owners for this, just want other renters to be aware, especially in times of COVID. We have small children and if anything went under a bed, nightstand, etc., it pretty much needed to be tossed. - We also had a fly & fruit fly issue, but I don't believe this was any fault of the Owners & they do provide fly swatters. I'd bring repellent. - The AC Units are older and will leak if they are on too low and there is ANY humidity in the air. The Owners are trying to fix this, but it can make the spiral stairs more dangerous and there wasn't really anything in the house to capture the water. - It is explained in the welcome letter, but the door to the washer/dryer is super difficult to get open, so have patience. - Also as explained, absolutely NO linens or towels (including bath mats) are provided. Be sure to bring your own (hand and dish towels must be brought too).

First family reunion after pandemic

We wanted a place with plenty of screened and outside options to allow for good ventilation even though we were all vaccinated. We were all comfortable visiting with each other as well as having private Zen time as needed. A few other family members stayed at place down the street because there are basically 3 bedrooms in this house and we had 3 more adults. This was fine but worth knowing. The location is the crown jewel of this place - as well as its modern renovation compared to other places that were still very dated. Tom and Jim were wonderful hosts and the neighborhood summer manager was accomodating and very friendly. What a perfect way to enjoy family and replenishing ocean. Ocean access allowed for flexibility for everyone.

Lovely home with lovely views

We loved our stay, the easy access to the beach, and the views of the ocean and adjacent state park. This is an end unit so you have great views in multiple directions. To be right on the water was a real treat. The whole home was clean and nicely decorated, with laundry on site. We felt right at home. Kitchen has a big fridge and is well-stocked with the pots, pans, and tools you’d want to use. We cooked most nights during our stay. There is a gas stove, which is a minus for me for environmental reasons, but I do know that a lot of people love them. The spiral staircase was no problem for my 3 (nearly 4) year old and my parents in their 70s, though any home in this development will just with have lots of steps - it’s something to keep in mind if someone in your group has issues with mobility. Bring hangers, as there is limited drawer space in some rooms, but there are good closets. Overall we loved it and my 8 year old has already insisted we always stay at this exact home each time we go to the beach, so I may be fighting you all to book this listing next year! : )

Great location and beautifully designed

The house was well designed just the kitchen was a bit tight with narrow cabinets and not well stocked regarding: serving platters or small bowls for olives etc or a proper salad bowl , most glasses were plastic not fun for good wine. Instead the range and other appliances were fantastic, the laundry room full of all beach equipments was very convenient. I just wished the king size beds were firmer as the rooms were beautiful with fantastic views. The owners and the manager were superb!

Best Beach Getaway from DC

We had never visited the Delaware beaches, and this was the best possible experience we could have had with two young children. Tom and Jim are amazing hosts, and the location right on the beach can't be beat. We could enjoy the views all day even when the kids wanted to play inside or were napping. The decor was very tasteful, and the amenities were everything we needed to feel home away from home. We can't wait to go back!

This was one of our best vacations. The house has been remodeled to perfection and the views of the water on each floor is just amazing to wake up to every day. Vacationed with my family including my two and four year olds and they loved it ! Perfect for children to walk out onto the beach and play throughout the day. I would advise to be aware of the winding stairs with small children, but we made it work! Can’t wait to come back. Will definitely be booking again next Summer !
