The home’s 2025 upgrades include custom-made Mon Ray soundproofing and noise-abatement windows, as well as flush-mounted storm doors. These enhancements, installed on the top floor and all bedrooms facing the ocean and east side of the house, create effective sound proofing space, ensuring a quieter, more peaceful stay. The all new Pergo One flooring was installed in the primary bedroom. Additionally, all four bedrooms and hallway game room floor was replaced with new, seamless Cumberland Oak Mohawk flooring. A new HVAC system and hot water heater complete the upgrades for the 2025 season. For added convenience, an elevator is available for guest use, making this home as functional as it is luxurious.

The 1st floor of this home offers a comfortable den with a sofa, TV, direct access to the backyard private pool, and a full bathroom with a shower.

The 1st bedroom has 2 twin beds, the 2nd has a queen bed and both share a jack & jill bathroom. The 3rd bedroom has 2 twin beds, and the 4th bedroom has 2 twin beds, and both of these bedrooms also share a jack & jill bathroom. All bedrooms come with a TV for additional entertainment.

The 3rd floor offers the main living space, with 2 dining areas, kitchen island seating, and a comfortable living room with a large screen TV, great for a movie night.

The house needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Walls, baseboards, trims floors, windows, stove all these things need to be attended to.. this was our second visit, and some of the same issues from our last visit were still visible this time as well.

Wonderful beach home

This property met all our needs. More than adequate for our party of 12. There were other coffee makers but we chose to bring a Keurig. Does need a better can opener. Great to have 2 refrigerators. Convenient to Bethany and Rehobeth. Enjoyed the beach and the pool. Since the temps were high 80’s to 90’s, appreciated the partial shade at the pool. Being along Rt 1 was noisy outside at times but not a deal breaker. Running the ceiling fan was necessary to keep the temp manageable on the 3rd floor only when the outside temp went above 90. Elevator was a plus. Everyone agreed that we would love to stay there again.

Great Stay, we’ll be back!

The house was perfect for our family. The kids loved having a pool, that was a huge perk. We were only about 2 miles from the State Park beach and highly recommend that beach over the public access beach. We loved all the restaurants, and downtown Bethany was a short drive, perfect for ice cream trips! I had zero issues when I needed to get in contact with Alex for a few things, I was responded to very quickly. We can’t wait to come back!

House far from beach. 24 hours a day road noise

House was ok. Pool was very cold as it was in the shade most of the day. A heater is needed. House was so close to major road that it was impossible to be outside on the decks and even by the pool it was loud. For the cost of the house, we were all very disappointed as the situation dampened our spirits and made the week difficult for enjoying our time there. The noise also disrupted sleep partially on in the bedroom on the road side of the house. We will not return.

A perfect location and great amenities

We have stayed at Bethany Cottage 3 times and value the private pool and elevator so much. We have two people with mobility issues, and the elevator is a godsend. We also love how close it is to the Indian River Delaware State Park beach -- and the fabulous Big Chill there.

This property was perfect for us, our 2 adult children, their spouses, and 2 grandkids. The beds are super comfortable, the pool is wonderful, it has a very nice gas grill and off-street parking for 3 to 4 vehicles. There are several beaches just a mile or two away. We’re looking forward to going again next summer!

Family Together

Having the family together is what vacation is for us. This house allowed us to do that. The biggest disappointment was the temperature of the pool. We wanted a pool since we had young children who still needed an afternoon nap. The pool was so cold that most of our group could not get in it. Most of the afternoon sun, that was to warm the pool, is blocked by the house. Knowing that the goal is always to satisfy your guests, I would recommend that an investment of a heater be made. We like the area, but without the use of the pool, it's just a house.

Super comfy house and convenient location

Super cute house with lots of options and room to allow for distance between parties. In our case, it was some adult vs. kid space. Joe & Alex are great communicators and very responsive. The pool would have been great if the weather was warmer. And the beach is just a short drive away. You can see the ocean from the patio and we did lots of yoga on the second floor balcony. It can be loud though because of proximity to the highway (there was a public works project happening during our stay). The house has all the amenities that you need for cooking and relaxing. We had a wonderful time!

Great location and pool, but needs updating

Great location with great outdoor space. The pool was very nice and well maintained. It was cleaned twice during our week long stay. You could not hear the traffic from inside the house even though it is right on route 1. However, it's time for the owner to reinvest inside the house. It is very dated and could use an extra deep clean. Many things are well past their time, like the coffee maker, carpets, and bedding. Would not likely rent again unless interior improvements were made.
