Gorgeous Bethany retreat! Dog friendly, 4 BR/3BA, near trails, <2 miles to beach
Beautifully appointed and plenty of room to gather with a huge fully fenced & lushly landscaped back yard - a perfect place to unwind and recharge while exploring the Delaware beaches and coastal region.
2220 square foot single family custom home with vaulted ceilings, wood floors throughout, large living room, well-stocked and updated kitchen, dining room for family dinners or board games, separate TV/media room. Large Master Bedroom suite with king-sized bed, updated walk-in shower, walk-in closet, cathedral ceilings, and ceiling fan. The second bedroom on the first floor includes blackout curtains and ceiling fan, and is next to another full bathroom. Two more bedrooms and a third full bathroom are upstairs.
All bedrooms are comfortably outfitted with quality mattresses and have cable smart televisions. The rear yard is fully fenced and beautifully landscaped, with a Trex deck, patio furniture on the deck, picnic table, outdoor shower, charcoal grill, & bike rack with cover. (Bikes not provided, but recommended for this location!)
Gas fireplace is available for the colder months of the year. Located on the Bethany border in Ocean View, just a few houses from Hocker’s Grocery and restaurants, easy access to the Fresh Pond Bike Trail, and just steps to the Assawoman Canal Trail perfect for biking or walking. Bethany Beach center is just a 5-10 minute drive (depending on traffic.). Just a 3 minute drive to James Farm Ecological Preserve and the Indian River Bay for hiking, kayaking, and swimming. Holts Landing State Park is a 10 minute drive. Biking to the beach takes approximately 12-15 minutes via the canal trail and Garfield Parkway. Walk to the beach in roughly 45 minutes, or walk the canal trail to Turtle Walk in 20 minutes and then take the shuttle. We are also a short stroll to a new Ledo's Pizza and Yellow Fin's next to Hocker's Grocery Store.
This location is ideal for checking out all that the Delaware and Maryland beaches have to offer. Drive 10-15 minutes north to the Delaware Seashore State Park and Dewey Beach, 20-25 minutes north to Rehoboth and Lewes, or head south and it's a 10-15 minute drive to Fenwick Island State Park and Fenwick...20 minutes to Ocean City. We also love visiting the Bethany Nature Center, Ocean View's John West Park (a short walk away), and the Delaware Botanic Gardens.
Delaware regulations require all guests to sign a lease agreement. A lease agreement will be sent shortly after booking and must be returned signed and completed within 24 hours of receipt.

Very nice accommodations. It was great having a cable tv package instead of just internet tv. Grocery just up the street made getting supplies very easy. Nice fenced in back yard for the dog. We walked the nearby trail several times and even walked to the nearby public park and children's playground.

This was our fourth summer in Bethany and this was the best home we’ve stayed in to date! The property was perfect for our dog, with the fenced in yard. Inside, there was more than enough space for our family of four, including our two children, ages 6 and 8. The girls loved sharing the room with twin beds to give them each their own space but be able to sleep together.The master downstairs was great, with a wonderful shower and spacious closet! The kitchen was well appointed with everything you could need to cook or prepare food. It was great having a Keurig as well!The hosts were easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. The small touches around the house with instructions were also very helpful!We loved our stay and hope to be back and able to stay here again next summer! Thank you Jim and Laura for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Pet Friendly Beach Getaway
Laura and Jim were excellent hosts for the week! The home was very comfortable and family (pets too) friendly. Laura and Jim checked in on us during the week and had helpful hints for a great visit to the Delaware Coast.The home was on a very busy street but we did not notice it while inside or in the backyard. It could be an issue if you have any more than 2 vehicles. All and all we would definately stay here again.

We decided to take a last minute trip to the Delaware Shore and found this gem of a home. The location was perfect for visiting not only Bethany Beach, but also the surrounding towns. The home is very comfortable and cozy with much attention to detail. The yard is wonderful for pets and relaxing on the deck.

Great late summer getaway spot for our friend group
This was an excellent house to stay out for our book club friend group getaway. We chose this house primarily for its location, which was close to another friend who lives in a nearby home in Bethany. The house is very convenient to many activities and walking trails and, of course, the beach and boardwalk area. We were able to walk from the house to nearby G&E Hocker's supermarket for supplies, as well as to a few restaurants including Yellowfin's Bar & Grill and Ledo Pizza. Otherwise, everything else is just a few minutes drive away. The house itself is very comfortable and was very well supplied with everything you need. We really enjoyed the layout with two separate gathering areas on the main floor as we had some folks who enjoyed watching TV and another group who just wanted to sit and chat. The house also had a fantastic fenced in backyard with a hammock, picnic table area and a huge deck right off the kitchen with high-top table and chairs and other seating and lounging choices. On the main floor there are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One bathroom is private - attached to the large master suite with kind sized bed. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and another full bathroom. We also enjoyed the separate dinning room area where we ate our meals together and played board games or cards in the evenings. The homeowners were very easy to communicate with, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Thanks for a great time!

Convenient location / close to the beach
We enjoyed our stay! The home was well stocked and had all of the modern amenities you would need and more. Fast wi-fi. Grocery store within walking distance. Close to the beach. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious. We had 9 people staying at the house towards the end of our vacation and we had plenty of room. The layout of the home is great. Laundry on-site was very convenient. Kitchen is very nice with plenty of counter space and updated appliances. The fenced-in backyard was great for the young ones and pups. This home is located on a busier road but the owners are very upfront about that. It didn't bother us. The home is set back far enough away from the road and we spent more of our time in the backyard anyway. We would definitely stay here again!
