The house was spacious enough for our family. The household supplies were lacking. One roll of toilet paper for three bathrooms- not many kitchen staples. It was not as clean as it should have been. Neighborhood was great and the pool was lovely. 20 minute drive to beach, which we knew when we booked.

We have stayed here at least 4 times since 2019. We love this house, always clean, beds are comfortable, location is great, it's just the first choice when coming to Bethany. Thanks Again for never disappointing, We will be back.

This was the perfect house & community for two families on Spring Break! Aceess was easy & very clean. We all had blast.

It was Great Lake view was nice the water fountain was great the house was very clean quiet neighborhood Go experience u won’t regret it will be going back again

We loved the location and the cleanliness. Also, It is very spacious. Really nice community.

Community is vast and lined beautifully with shade trees and flowered landscapes With the safety of sidewalks. Property easy to find and upon arrival access code did not allow entry. Immediately notified property contact and within 7 minutes had a new code and gained access (well done, Jerry!) House was very nice, bathroom fixtures a little worn and dated but fully functional. AC worked very well. Seemingly clean, but in kitchen around cabinet, drawer faces and handles obvious unclean old residue(not recently cleaned). In addition the wood floors were clean but were dusty beneath the chairs and we avoided turning on ceiling fans due to dust buildup. The coffee table was disheveled and unorganized. I resisted my urge to straighten it up. Our group was to be 5 and reduced to 4 and towel #s were fine, but we moved around hand towels and washcloths to make it work for 4 people. The dirty linen remained in a large Rubbermaid container on the front porch for our entire stay and the afternoon prior to checkout a large trash bag of new linen for turnover appeared on the front porch. Perhaps a better way to conceal this whole process. The screened in porch was wonderful but could have been cleaner (ceiling fan dirty spider webs). Would have been nice to have a ‘property specific instruction sheet’ . We had to figure out what to do with the trash, which we walked to the nearest dumpster…approx a block away. We truly had a wonderful time and would consider coming back, but next time, will call to have better cleaning if in same state upon arrival.

Bear Trap Dunes is a beautiful community with great amenities. VACASA responded quickly to issues that needed to addressed with the townhome we were renting.

We love Bear Trap Dunes ammenities and this is a great location for our group because we can often get several properties within a short walk of one another. 10 Sycamore is starting to age. For the past three years, the fridge has leaked. This year we had many housemates (ants). The shower stall door on the second floor was broken and a number of the spindles on the staircase were broken. This property is listing for almost $1000 MORE for the same week next year. Too rich for our blood considering the minor but annoying inconveniences.

Property was perfect. Wish we were closer to the beach. Trolly to beach was available but got the impression it would have taken us to a beach stop not the town of Bethany by the boardwalk. Otherwise a great vacation.

Everything was great.

Very relaxing place to stay.

Literally Everything!!

Very nice home. Clean and nicely appointed. We would rent this house again.

Had a great time, we have stayed here 3 times since 2019. This property is always clean, well equip with very comfortable beds. The rooms are spaced well and with two living areas and a screened porch always a place to sit and read a book whether to yourself or your grandkids. We will be back, I'm sure. One issue we did have and this can happen anywhere. Two nights while there we lost the internet. It seemed to resolve itself both times but happened in the evening while we were watching the television. No biggy just might want to check out your router, might need to be replaced. Thanks again for the use of your fantastic home

What a beautiful home with all the amenities you need to make a vacation complete. The outlets, beach , and food markets are in close proximity. My family encountered much joy.
Thank You, The Whaley Family.

We would definitely book again

We wanted to get away from the big apple for a weekend get away so we found this home . The house was absolutely spectacular. It was exactly as seen in the photos. Beautiful , very very very clean , in a quiet community. comfortable beds. We could not have asked for a better home for our family get away, and to spend Valentine’s Day. The children had a great time. It was like a breath of fresh air. We are looking forward to book this home again in the near future.

Love this property. This is our second time staying here and we chose this house because we did not want to do our usual big family Thanksgiving due to covid. We were there with our 2 sons, daughter in law and 3 granddaughters. The house is so clean and has everything a family of 8 could want. So close to everything, Bethany, Rehoboth and Ocean City. We spent 3 full days taking in the nearby parks, enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving in your comfortable home, even went to the beach Black Friday for a walk. Love your home and we will be back. Thank You.

Getting away for a long weekend to watch The Masters and football with the family was a delight as we had plenty of TVs and space to enjoy the views. The town house was in tip top shape and provided many details to make our trip exceptional.

Overall very satisfied. A few things should have been better. Very dirty screened in porch and front porch areas. Dirt, cobwebs, etc. After playing for a few minutes in screened porch, socks or bare feet were black. Did not look like either area was cleaned all season. Grass was too high for grandkids to play ball, it was cut late in week, but too late since it then rained. Otherwise lovely house close to everything and priced fairly.

We had a little 3 night getaway and it was perfect! Check in process was easy and exactly as they said. The property was in the perfect location, close enough to hop in the car to get to the action and far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Looking out onto the pond with the water feature from the screened in porch was so calming. Fishing was hard to do because of the weeds but we found an area where it would be a little easier. Tons of space for us and anything we needed to be away for a mini getaway was there. Can’t wait to come back😊

We had a good stay at Bear Trap Dunes community. The home was ready before advertised, was clean (we wiped it down again as a COVID precaution, but it was already clean when we arrived), and all amenities were as advertised, EXCEPT there was no internet. We emailed the management company and their auto-reply said they were working hard to keep up with volume and not to send repeated emails, so we didn't and I used a phone as a hotspot. Turns out we didn't hear back from the management company during our stay, which annoyed us. To the company's credit, they did finally get back to us and issued a credit to offset the cost of the phone data we used, so they tried to make it right (Hence 4 stars instead of 3). The particular property is starting to look a little dated, the kitchen appliances specifically could use a refresh. The refrigerator leaks water and sometimes it seemed to be undercooling food and other times almost freezing food. Space in the home is good - we had 3 adults and 2 kids, no problem - each kid had their own room. Overall I would stay again if they figure out the internet.

Some of us in particular enjoyed the tennis clinics for adults and children run by Marty Godwin. Best time for the beach in the pandemic year was 4 to 7 pm.

We were sent an email at 3:50pm saying our house was clean. We tried to check in at 5:00pm an hour after our check in time and the house was a mess. Nothing had been done especially now during Covid times. We had to take our 3 small kids 5years and under to a restaurant while they attempted to clean and that too after repeated calls to the management company (Resort Delaware), who were very uncooperative in the beginning. When we finally checked in at 7:30pm we found the porch had still not been cleaned. We had to call them again to come back to clean. When we went to bed we found none of the beds had been made even though we paid extra for the linen service. Overall we had a horrible check in process after 4 hours of driving with 3 small kids.

It was so good we will be returning.

Loved this house, it had everything you could want in a vacation rental. Kitchen was stocked well, furniture was comfortable and adequate for a family of 8. Beds were comfortable and the house is laid out well. We usually vacation in the Outer Banks and decided to stay in Bethany this year, due to it being closer to Annapolis where we lived. This house is close enough to the beach but not to close to have to deal with the crowds. We didn't not use the pool and recreation areas, that price was a little bit too much, they looks well kept but cannot really review them. The only down side which is not the house, if you have more than 2 cars you will have some problems. We had 2 and the neighbors liked to park in front of our house so we ended up using the driveway which would result in the one of the cars being on the side walk. I would definitely rent this house again.

This is our second year staying at Bear Trap Dunes - our first at this address. We had a wonderful time. The house was well appointed, and other than a couple minor quirks with appliances, the property was in great shape. Nice view of the pond (catch and release is permitted), short walk to the pool/tennis facility and regular shuttle service to the beach are all great. There are a number of beach/pool toys at your disposal and there is access to the garage (not available at every property), which was convenient. For golfers, Bear Trap is well maintained and strikes a nice balance between challenge for experts and forgiveness for beginners/duffers (like me). We are very much looking forward to returning to stay at 10 Sycamore again next year.

Plenty of space, great bed sizes, lovely view of pond with water feature, short walk to Pavillion. Hardwood floors need to be swept, bring all your own spices for cooking, lots of pots pans, great BBQ grill on deck. Had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay! The amenities at Bear Trap are vey nice. Enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools and the workout facilities. Excellent bike riding in the community. Close to beach and grocery stores and very good restaurants. The front desk folks at the Pavillion were very helpful. The cottage had a well equipped kitchen as well as all the amenities one would need. We enjoyed fishing in the pond with our 3 year old granddaughter.

Clean and quiet property and area.

Very nice home. Spacious, well kept and a good location to both pools, pavilion, and shuttle stops. The pond out back was fun for my younger son who was able to catch (and release) a few large mouth bass. A real bonus was the 4 beach cruisers and child bike trailer that the home owner provided. I would suggest a bigger dining table to accomodate 10- as it is now can only seat 8. Bear Trap Dunes offered amenties for the whole family and was just the right distance to Bethany beach and boardwalk with Fenwick Island only 15 minutes down Coastal Highway. Would recommend this home and/or community to anyone.
