Amazing stay

I love everything about this place. The location, the decor, the amenities...Definitely great for family and friends. We love having bikes and beach equipment available for us. It is such a lovely touch. The only thing I noticed is the house moves a little bit since it is a stilt house. I am not used to it and thought there is an earthquake, haha. Otherwise, we have all amazing things to say, and the owner of the house is awesome and very helpful.

Beach stay with the masses.

The house was clean and quiet. The bikes were rusted beyond use and the kayaks were full of spiders, mosquitoes and not near the water. So we were unable to use either.

Clean and comfortable

This was our first time at Bethany Beach and overall this property made for a comfortable stay. The house was clean and we made use of the deck and grill daily. It was also convenient to have use of bikes and kayaks. We only biked the small development which sits off a busier road with no bike lane. The walk to the beach was too far for use so we drove most days. Thanks for a great stay Dave!

Great location, good for large families

We loved our stay! Six minute drive to Bethany Beach Boardwalk, we made good use of the provided beach chairs. Also had fun kayaking in the nearby canal. Friendly, quiet neighborhood with some good places to walk dogs. One note - the front door doesn’t lock from the inside. We have little ones so we blocked them from opening the door by dragging a chair over to it. We didn’t take the trolley but there was a stop in the next neighborhood over. Lots of bikes included, so this would also be great for a group of friends in their 30s who are want to be close to the beach but don’t want to be around loud parties.

Amazing owners!

We loved this house and it's location. We have stayed at several Home Away homes and I have to say the owners of this house were just amazing. The owners checked in with us through out our stay just to see if we needed anything. There were a few extremely minor issues that were promptly resolved no matter the hour of the day. The house was well stocked and the bikes, chairs and kayaks the owners supplied were fantastic. It was a 10-15 minute bike ride to Bethany Beach or a quick ride in the car. We ended up driving to Fenwick State park several times because of the great facilities, life guards and great waves! We really enjoyed kayaking the canal and seeing the jellyfish and crabs while we paddling along. We will definitely be back to this house

Nice location, comfortable, very clean

Dave and Irina were great from the minute we booked this cute, very clean cottage. Dave was very easy to contact with quick response to any questions. The cottage is in a very nice community within an easy bike ride to Bethany Beach. Easy kayaking in a nice canal next to the community. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need--including many spices. The appliances are new--refrigerator is amazing. Our family of 6 adults plus an adult friend had more than enough room. Loved the wrap around deck/porch for morning coffee and breakfast. The grill was great. No problem with parking our 3 vehicles. If we make another visit to Bethany Beach, we will definitely contact Dave and Irina again.
