About this house rental

NOTE to 2025 "Early Birds" -- we will not open our Summer '25 Calendar until the first of the year. We give first dibs to our return renters.

In Summer we rent Sunday to Sunday (it makes traveling and getting a cleaning team easier). Note: Limit of 3 cars for overnight parking.

DESCRIPTION:
On the WATER with FABULOUS VIEWS, fantastic sunsets, direct access to beautiful nature preserve/wetlands and Assowoman Bay and quick access to beach/ocean.

This is a remodeled & solar powered older 5 bedroom, 3 baths "beach house" -- not a new MacMansion. It's the perfect place for a relaxed family vacation, quiet retreat, or romantic getaway. Two 'master' bedrooms (king & queen) with dramatic bay views. A 'guest room' (queen bed) also with views. Twin Bed room and kids 'bunk' room with double/futon lower and single upper.

PLEASE NOTE : 3 night minimum stay off season (late Oct. through early April at $375/ night for 2 people . Slightly higher in "Shoulder Season" -- April/ May and September/ October. Holiday weekends also higher. Again, limit of 3 cars for overnight parking. (Our community association does does not allow street parking overnight.)

We allow ONE dog with a signed "Doggy Addendum" to our Rental Agreement covering the rules on our beach and in our neighborhood. (No other pets.) $100 pet fee.

We are in the small community of Bay View Park at the north end of the undeveloped Fenwick Island Delaware State Park Beach. We are on the Bay side of Rt. 1. Bay View Park is 1/4 mile south of York Beach/South Bethany. Very close to the charming 'quiet resorts' of Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island and 15-20 minute drive to more "action" in Rehoboth or Ocean City.

On the edge of a vast Nature Preserve this home has 180 degree views ~ a very special Nature Lover's retreat.

Short walk (1/2 mile) to the beach or quick drive with permit parking along Route 1 access road -- only for Bay View Park visitors.

Three Kayaks and a Canoe available for your use (at your own risk). Plus 2 "beach" bikes -- they only have 1 gear-- and an assortment of beach chairs, sand toys, etc.

Many puzzles and games and other kid toys on hand. One large screen "Smart" TV -- tune in to your favorite program accounts.

If you have a boat, we have a dock. There is a public boat launch into Little Assowoman Bay about 1/2 mile south of our Bay View Park Community.

SPRING and FALL are lovely at the beach -- bird migration on, quiet walks on the beach. Quiet and lovely but not lonely -- Bethany and Rehoboth's restaurants and area attractions are open and uncrowded. FALL especially has continuing warm water, warm weather and the best sunsets of the year.

Thank you June for having us to your home for the week. My family and I had an incredible time in Bethany. June was a wonderful host, very attentive. She responded and addressed my one concern and very quickly resolved it. Her home is so welcoming and relaxing, and the view is amazing!! I would definitely come back again.

This VRBO has an amazing view of the estuary and ocean where we did some incredible birding, kayaking, and lovely sunsets. The place is well maintained and the owners were very attentive to our needs at all times, and very accessible. Our family, including several children, had a wonderful stay, enjoying the facility, the beach, and the surrounding area. Highly recommend this place.

We had an amazing stay, the view is stunning. You can sit and look at the bay for hours, beautiful sunset. House is ideally located, close to everything but feels a world away. You can hear the ocean at night. The hosts are lovely and welcoming. Plenty of space. Thank you for having us, can't wait to return!

June was terrific to work with. The house itself is comfortable and has everything you need from a rental property. The view is worth it's weight in gold. You won't be disappointed if you decide to book a stay.

The property was beautiful. Amazing views, we loved the kayaks and canoe! Even got the 3 yr old and grandma out in them! The beach was great, almost completely to ourselves. Super close to Beyhany downtown but out enough to not feel cramped or it to be loud. June and her husband were winderful, even letting us stay an extra day!! My in-laws would love to stay here again. That's a win!!

This home’s location is great if you like peace and nature. beautiful views with Lots of birds. The canoe and kayak use was really nice to have as option for the older teens/young adults. Beach a little too far to walk when hot outside but you can park your car closer with one of the passes the owner has so that worked fine. Owner had beach chairs avail for use which helps so we didn’t have to bring our own-appreciate that! Wi-Fi worked well. One tv on lower level but we barely used the TV since all had their own devices. Some of the bedding and Appliances such as dishwasher and washer/dryer are older could use an upgrade at some point. And a personal pref would be for more curtains or blinds in master bedroom. But overall the place was terrific for our needs and June was really nice and and easy to coordinate with. We enjoyed our stay very much. :-)

The view was stunning, the furniture was comfortable and the location was perfect. We packed the house with food and love. No complaints. Enjoyed the morning egret. Watched the sunset every night with delight! June was just a text away.

This is our second straight year for our group of four golfers. The kitchen is fully equipped so if you plan to cook, like we did for 12, you’ll find everything there. Views on the deck outstanding. You feel like you’re really at home.
