Great House
I highly recommend this house. Very close to the beach and very clean. Easily held two families of 4. Kitchen and appliances we new and up to date. Property manager was extremely easy to work with and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Outside shower was really nice as well. Highly recommend. We will be renting this house next year

Clean, Comfortable, Eclectic & Fun
This is my favorite type of beach house. Well laid out, comfortably furnished, and eclectically decorated, it was very clean but felt lived-in in the best way…it was easy to relax and feel at home here.
We spent long stretches on the beach, but it was nice to come home and relax on the shady porch or in one of the two spacious and comfy living areas after cleaning up in the outside shower. The kitchen was well equipped for the simple dinners we made or brought in, and the big DR table sat all of us. Score!
Big points for this quintessential beach house for the unfussy— our family of 9 recommends!
P.S. A tool for unlocking bathroom (spring-type) locks would be a great addition. A bathroom door was accidentally locked from the outside as we were clearing out on Saturday morning, and we could not find the tool that most people keep above the door frame. When the rental office attendant returned my call, we had figured out a workaround…to which she replied “Good, because it would’ve taken me a half hour to get to you.” Not a problem in itself, but if a toddler had been locked in there, then there would have been. I’ll be traveling with my own spring lock picker from now on— it can be a safety issue. Simple fix for the PM.

Great Location quiet neighborhood
Property was large enough for a family of 8. It lacked a lot of kitchen basics, wasn't clean enough to my standards and had a lot of quirks. The lights and fans were wired oddly and difficult. The guest shower sets off the smoke detector. The new grill had a gas leak that was reported and not repaired which resulted in a lot of uncooked meat.

Awesome Beach Week With Family
This house is marvelous for families . My son and daughter and their families stayed with us. Three rooms had queen beds and the last bedroom has twins and a double bed. The kitchen is newly renovated and well put together with quality cooking pieces. There is a nice propane grill. The screen porch is shady all day as is the parking pad with ample parking. Bethany West is a quiet neighborhood catering to families, walkers and cyclists. It’s close to everything while also far enough away to be away from the crowds. We will be back next year.

Well equipped, comfortable house
The house was so cute and very well laid out, providing plenty of communal area to spread out. There is a great screened in front porch and a sunlight great room in the back as well as nice porch in the back with woods behind. The house really has everything you need, nice kitchen too. When we first entered there was a bit of a musty smell, but it went away or we didn't notice it after a few hours. I was initially concerned because i have asthma to molds, but i had no problems. Property manager Martha responded to our concern about it right away, bringing lava rocks to mitigate it. Martha was fantastic--got back to me right away with any questions/concerns and very pleasant and accommodating. The neighborhood is nice.. We rented bikes to get back and forth from beach--about 5 to 10 minute bike ride. The house is comparable in rental price to some local condos, but more comfortable in my opinion.

Roomy though mildew/mold smell
This 4 BR rental had a spacious, renovated kitchen and an addition enclosure which was a bright sun room. We really liked the layout, open floor plan, etc.
A big drawback for us was the smell of mildew/mold around the inside perimeter walls of the original house, which is where the bedrooms are. Rental agent agreed and provided us with 2 boxes of drying crystals. Prior renters had not reported any smells. Our family has asthma, mold allergies, so it was a big concern all week. Fortunately, we had lovely weather and opened the sliders and windows most days, which helped.
If you have no problems with 25% mold smell, I would highly recommend this house. It is very 'beachy' and had plenty of areas to find 'own space' to hang out, such as living room, sun room, screened porch and side porches.
(The owner reported that in 6 years of renting, they have had no complaints.)

Beautiful summer cottage in a great neighborhood
We really enjoyed this house. Great layout and plenty of room to entertain for a large family dinner. Beautifully decorated. We used every room and outside space and everything was great. Tons of dishes and kitchen stuff to allow you to host a large group for dinner. Plenty of seating for meals and for lounging. We do however have some suggestions. Invest in a new grill. The ignition was dangling from inside and the heating elements are collapsed. We were kind of nervous to use it. Make sure company cleaning the house treat the outside shower like a bathroom and clean it. A nice outdoor shower is a great addition to any beach house. Lastly, invest in some mattresses. We loved this home and had a great week! Beautiful, functional, spacious. Loved it!
