Peaceful waterfront retreat - sleeps 12

This fully renovated home in the gated community of Heron Bay is perfect for your next family gathering! Just one mile to the downtown Bethany Beach, this beautifully decorated home comfortably sleeps 12 and offers three levels of waterfront decking with breathtaking views. The main deck also includes a screened porch, and you can rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower. Paddleboards and kayaks are available for your use at the house - just walk out back and launch onto Salt Pond!

Inside, the elevator helps get everything and everyone settled. The fully stocked kitchen makes big family dinners a snap, and the kitchen bar area next to the dining room ensures that everyone can enjoy meals together.

The 5th bedroom can be found in the loft area on the 4th floor and has a queen bed along with a twin sleeper sofa for a quiet retreat.

Your family can spread out in two living rooms - one on the second floor that includes a wet bar and another on the main floor off the kitchen and dining areas.

The house was as shown and described in the listing. Had all the needed and wanted amenities and was impeccably clean. The location was a perfect jumping off point to the places we wanted to see, Rehoboth, Bethany and Ocean City Beaches. Highly recommend this property.

This is an excellent house and Sara is an excellent, communicative, responsive and gracious host. A perfect home for a large family. Beautiful, well-appointed, near everything but still quiet. So many wonderful spaces for contemplating the gorgeous water and landscape, reading, bird watching or family game playing. Kayaking in the salt pond was a private tour of nature. We loved it!!

This home had amazing water views, was very well stocked with all that we needed for a large family to feel at home and enjoy a family beach vacay! The owner was great to work with and always responsive if we had a question. We used the elevator for our daughter and master bedroom shower was accessible enough to bathe her easily. Thank you, Sara! We hope to return!

Beautiful, peaceful bayside stay

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at this property! The host, Sara, was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The house was well-equipped with basic staples- pantry items, paper towels, toilet paper, and even cleaning supplies, which all came in handy as was appreciated. This is a great house to rent if you have a large family or want to stay at the beach with friends. So many floors with decks, large living spaces, and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. We were very fortunate to rent on a low humidity weekend, and enjoyed morning coffee and snacks on the screened-in porch. It was also very quiet as not many neighbors were home! Highly recommend renting here!
