Great package!
We stayed here for a family vacation with an infant for a few days. House had all amenities needed, it is one block from the pool as well! Great Weber grill. Easy drive to supermarkets, Bethany beach, Rehoboth and Fenwick! Highly recommended!!! Only wish is that it was slightly bigger so we could have even more family come next time! Shannon you’re amazing!!!!

July Beach Week
We had a great vacation week and enjoyed the rental. The host was very available through the messaging system and was responsive to all questions. Having sheets and towels was very helpful and also the beach chairs. The home was very clean and convenient to our activities. Bethany Bay is a comfortable community with many ammenities. It would have been more convenient to have 2 keys.

Excellent stay
What a wonderful vacation for my family. Not only was the house super clean but it had everything we needed and then some. Paddleboard, kayak, beach chairs, towels, board games, a record player (yes thats right vinyl records), a karaoke machine and of course a golf cart to use. The community is amazing; pool access, great par3 golf course and right on the bay. A quick 5 minute drive to the beach. Shannon was quick to respond and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful home in a lovely community
Shannon and Lester's home was a great "beach base" for our family. It's in a lovely, quiet golf community, sheltered from the touristy hubbub of the beach towns, while still being conveniently close to the shore. We enjoyed visiting the different State Park beaches up and down Route 1, as well as the boardwalks and shopping in both Bethany and Rehoboth, all within an easy drive. In the evening, it was an easy (and fun!) golf cart ride over to the pool to cool off and relax. The house is well equipped; chairs and coolers for the beach, rackets and balls for tennis and pickle-ball (yay!), and lots of other fun extras. We enjoyed feeding the turtles and the fish in the pond out back while sitting in the shade of the umbrella. Shannon was very responsive and helpful with any needs. Book with confidence!

Great get away location
Cute beach house in a location easily accessible to Bethany, S. Bethany, and Fenwick beaches and Ocean City, MD. My family and I enjoyed being out at the beaches during the day and coming back to the large community pool that had tables, umbrellas, and beach chairs. Loved traveling around the community on the golf cart. Rode the 2 bikes throughout the community. Nice deck with grill to cook up easy dinners. Encountered ants in the kitchen for 3 days when we first arrived; sprayed and put out traps which resolved the issue. Shannon, property owner, was very responsive to my communications leading up to and during our stay. Quiet and well kept neighborhood. Close to restaurants, grocery stores, mini golf, ice cream, etc.

Enjoyable stay
Shannon was extremely responsive and made the process easy. The home was spacious and well decorated. It had all of the amenities you could need. The pool was a favorite for my son. It was also a short drive to the grocery store and a great local creamery. A short direct drive to the beach. I would recommend if you want a quiet location with space and with a short drive to the beach and restaurants.

Great Property
We rented this house for a baseball tournament nearby. House was super clean and appointed with everything we needed. Great, quiet neighborhood for walking, biking, and a short round of golf. Very nice pool within walking distance. Close to Bethany and a short ride to Rehoboth and Dewey. We got a good laugh at all the stray golf balls that show up!

The home is located in a beautiful community that's close to everything , but yet is a quiet and serene place. It's beautifully decorated and very comfortable, and fully equipped for anything you may need. We took advantage of the lovely walking trails, pool and tennis courts, and enjoyed beach time as well.
