Great location, great property
Stay was great! We had ample space for 5 people and my dog. It's seated in a nice quiet neighborhood. Communication was very good. We had a lot of fun. Would recommend.

Perfect space for our weekend getaway!
Suzanne’s home was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. The bedrooms are spacious which let us set up a pack & play for our baby. The home had everything we needed. Appliances seemed new, as well as most things. The only downside was there wasn’t somewhere to just let our dogs out to potty, I did have to walk them around but the neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed our morning walks around. The house is about 15-20 minutes from Bethany Beach. Suzanne was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was beautiful and very clean. It was spacious enough for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. We did have some trouble with our air conditioning in a bedroom and the host went out of her way (like 6 hour drive) to come and help us resolve the situation. She was very helpful, understanding and accommodating!

4th of July Getaway
This house was perfect for our family of 4 and our puppy. The house was super clean and fully stocked with everything we would need and more. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and even on a holiday weekend, the beach was only a short drive away! We will definitely be back!
