Make this large dog-friendly end-unit your next home away from home and experience something truly out of this world! This light filled second level 2500 sq ft townhome is part of the amenity rich resort community of Bayside at Bethany Lakes and is ready for you to make a lifetime of summer memories. This delightful and well-appointed escape is tastefully decorated with plenty of room to unwind and relax after a fun filled day at the beach.

It is well equipped with both drip and Keurig coffee makers, toaster, blender, microwave, a gas range, a dishwasher, an eat-in breakfast nook for four, a balcony to enjoy your morning coffee, and access to a formal dining area where the entire family can gather to enjoy meals.
The sunny living room is perfect for relaxing and boasts comfortable furniture where you can watch TV and stream your favorite movies on the large flatscreen SmartTV. From the living room you'll access the expansive main deck that overlooks the beautiful courtyard & gazebo area where you can relax on the comfortable adirondack chairs with a glass of wine and unwind for the day. There is also a cozy loft with a comfortable sofa and a flatscreen SmartTV where you can get away from the rest of the group and enjoy some private relaxation time to watch a movie or curl up to a good book. There are plenty of puzzles, games, cards, and books available to entertain the family. The home is equipped with central heating/air conditioning, a full commercial sized washer and dryer and high-speed internet access.
This coastal gem has four bedrooms and 3 full baths.

The home has a garage with various beach gear (toys, chairs, and boogie boards) and plenty of bikes of all sizes that the family can use to enjoy a nice cruise around town. The garage is large enough to accommodate 1 large vehicle or even 2 smaller vehicles parked end-to-end. In addition, there is ample parking spaces just outside the garage area.
The abundant amenities of the community are located in and around the 15,000 sq ft clubhouse which is a quick 2-3 minute walk up the street. This beautifully renovated building includes an indoor pool & hot tub, a full fitness center, a game room (billiards, ping pong, foosball, video games), a bar, a great room with a large TV and fireplace, and a card room/library, and free WiFi. It is a great place to unwind at the end of the day and watch the sunset over the bay. Outside the clubhouse you'll find the large outdoor pool with gas grill for cooking, tennis/pickleball courts, a basketball hoop, a playground, boat docks, and finally the beautiful sunset deck and gazebo which overlooks the scenic Indian River Bay. It's the best place to enjoy a happy hour with friends, chatting and watching the sun set on the bay. And of course, Bethany Beach Boardwalk is under 3 miles away where you can enjoy sand, sun, and fun!

Beautiful!
We did a family weekend trip, ages from 2 to 72, plenty of room for all of us! Beautiful neighborhood, beautiful home, the community center was a hit!! Ocean City boardwalk wasn't too far away, Bethany Beach boardwalk was super close if you want a quieter experience. We all agreed we would like to go back for a longer trip :)

Great place to stay
I highly recommend staying here. The house was immaculate and a great size. Loved all the amenities it had to offer. The hosts were great if I had any questions answered me immediately. They had a variety of bikes my family was able to use as well as beach chairs and board games to play . I can’t wait to book with them again.

Great condo
This condo is beautiful with lots of room and very clean. The community is very nice, and everything is well kept. We had access to the club house and enjoyed a pool day. We had nine adults and were all very comfortable. Owners were very helpful and respond quickly. We would definitely rent again. Thank
