About this house rental
This unique, oceanfront home has 3 bedrooms plus a fourth as a den with door that has a queen sofa bed that can serve as a bedroom . One of the bedrooms has a king bed, one has a recently replaced king bed (with two twin mattresses on a king frame in case you have two kids who don't want to share a mattress). The third bedroom has two twin beds with a night stand in between and a rollaway cot in the closet. There are three full bathrooms, with an open living room with dining room that looks out on the ocean. There is a fun-to-enjoy after beachin' outdoor shower open to the skies above. The location doesn't get any better, just seven houses north of the Sea Colony High-rises and a short walk to downtown Bethany. The house was updated with new hardwood floors, renovated bathrooms, custom decorated window trimming and new coverings, and more for a fresh update.
Sea Colony recreation privileges can be enjoyed with the purchase of weekly activity passes during your stay including indoor and outdoor pools, two fitness centers, indoor and outdoor tennis and basketball, two Jacuzzis, access to varied classes (such as zumba or yoga)and a full gym).
The house has a beachfront deck and screen porch, an outdoor shower, plenty of driveway parking, and Wi-Fi, a perfect place to enjoy Bethany at its best.
Stays between May 1 and September 30 require a Bethany town tax of 7% which we have built into the rate and submit as required by law.
Please note, we do not rent to Senior groups, though we wish them hearty congratulations.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions about 2025 which has just being released on VRBO for rent. Weeks are booking up fast. I think the secret that Bethany is a terrific place to be has leaked.

Barbara was super nice and allowed us to stay a little longer to enjoy the amazing weather in November! The house is right on the beach with a deck. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom on the main floor has been remodeled. Some of the furniture is a bit dated but didn’t affect our stay. The main family room has plenty of seating with two sets of sofas. We would definitely stay here again next year.

Lovely property.
Being able to wake up every morning and have a coffee on the deck overlooking the beach was priceless.
Being able to walk to the beach in about a
Minute every day was also priceless.
Would definitely come back to the same house!

The house was great for our family. We fished on the beach. Caught skate and sand shark. Heated outdoor pool at Sea Colony opened midweek. Indoor pool and hot tub at Freeman Fitness Center were awesome. Enjoyed half-price entrees at Off The Hook. Beautiful sunrises observed from house or back deck overlooking the beach. Easy walk to Dunkin Donuts/ Baskin Robbins in one direction or the Boardwalk the other direction for delicious soft serve. Everything you need is close by. Great vacation destination!

Absolutely loved every sunrise and walks on the beach. Even in freezing temperatures you can enjoy the sunrise from the house. But we ran out to the beach nonetheless. The house is comfortable for a family. The pool and gym that is available to use was excellent! I would stay again, we were so pleased! We were sad to leave and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Barbara and Alan!

Such an easy process renting this property. Informative and enjoyable communication with the owners! And as for the property, it doesn’t get much better than this. Walk out the door and onto the beach. Surf crashing steps away. And the proximity to the town of Bethany is noting short of perfect. A leisurely 5-10 minute walk to the center of town. Everything you need - coffee, pastries, restaurants, books, shops and the Boardwalk. All ready for exploration. We loved our October visit and will be back. Dave & Teresa.

Solid home with easy beach access. Short walk to the Sea Colony and the Bethany Board Walk. The home is very comfortable and the screened in portion of the deck allows a relaxed view of the dunes and surf— even in the rain. Despite the previous week’s storm surge damage, our beach access was intact. The owners are very supportive and communicate quickly.
If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay with easy access to the beach and local attractions in Bethany Beach, you can’t go wrong here.

Fantastic
Our group had a fantastic week at this beach house. The house had a very "home away from home" feel to it. We loved the screened in porch and quick access to the beach. The owner is very helpful and was available to answer any questions we had. I couldn't recommend a better house.

Great Bethany Beach house!
We had a great time at this beautiful beach house! The house is in a great location right on the beach, and a few short blocks to downtown Bethany Beach. We took long walks on the beach and walked to the boardwalk for the cute cafes and restaurants. It is a quiet neighborhood and our kids were able to scooter in the bike lane to downtown. The small private beach area in front of the dune is also nice so parents can relax on the deck while kids play in the sand. The inside decor is peaceful and perfectly beachy, with gorgeous custom woodwork. Highly recommend this house for a fun-filled and relaxing vacation!

Perfect long weekend getaway
We loved our stay at Barbara and Alan’s home at Bethany. The location can’t be beat, right on beach, with easy access to the amenities at Sea Colony and the restaurants of downtown Bethany. Barbara was responsive and the place was clean and well appointed. We’ll be back!

A new VRBO favorite home!
The location is perfect, just steps to the ocean & a large deck to sit on & enjoy the views. Communication from the homeowner was efficient & very helpful. Barbara was more than accommodating, which assured our stay was everything we needed. Truly can't wait to go back to this gem on the ocean in Bethany.

Amazing location and visit
We had a wonderful family escape to the beach while juggling work and school during the week. The location cannot be beat! It was wonderful to hit the beach a few times a day for walks and for play. We hope to visit again next year!

Friends Get Together
This was a great house for four long time friends to get together. The layout was good, the outside screened deck was our most popular spot. Wonderful warm weather for early May made the sunrise and beach time perfect. The sound of the ocean, looking out over the dunes, the closeness to town - it was all good!

Wonderful Spring Break
As a military for years, our kids lived in DC and then moved overseas for years. We moved back to Northern Virginia. Our kids had never been to Ocean City, nor Bethany. We let them bring friends and decided to rent this house for our stay. It was absolutely perfect and the rate for the Sea Colony pass was epic at the off season rate of $12/person for the entire week. We played pickleball and worked out every day. The location of this home could not be better with beach access right outside off the back deck. The house was roomy and all four teens were able to have privacy and their own bed. We also were able to separate boy and girl bathrooms, along with our separate master bath. We had everything we needed to make family meals and could easily walk to town to dine out. We felt completely safe letting the kids bike to town. Our son turned eighteen today and there was even tools, and a muffin tray for me to make him cupcakes. Thanks for a wonderful location for our amazing Spring Break. From start (fresh flowers and a hand written note) to a text goodbye, these owners are a class act. Happy Easter!

Christmas vacation
We all enjoyed our stay and the house worked well for our family of 6 adults and 3 children. Plenty of room for everyone and you couldn’t beat the location right on the beach. Barbara and Alan were great hosts. Quick to respond to any questions and even took time over the holidays to check in and make sure we were enjoying our vacation.

Wonderful time at the beach in the winter
Great location! Beautiful to be on the beach in the winter. So peaceful and quiet. Can watch sunrise from the living room - very cozy. We saw a bald eagle catch a fish right in front of the house! Owners were extremely easy to work with and very kind. Thank-you for a much needed mini-vacation!

Enjoyed this beautiful home
My adult children joined my husband and I for a late autumn week at this beautiful home at Bethany Beach. We enjoyed having direct access to the beach and took a number of walks along the ocean. We cooked meals in as well as ordered curbside takeout from some of the local restaurants. The home was very comfortable and the owner was very good about responding to my questions before arrival. We would rent there again.

Beautiful oceanfront home!
Stayed here in the off season for a girl's weekend and it was wonderful! The only negative was that , in the write up, it says there are 2 rooms with 2 twin beds, but in the second room, the twins were out together to make a king size. It was fine, but just would have been good to know for planning purposes. The owners were very nice and accommodating!

Surprised Disappointment
Beautiful location! Thanks for the heads up about the linens prior to arrival, which minimized the aggravation of doing laundry before departure. This should have been included in the listing. A call to the owners concerning 'only hot water' in washing machine irregardless of the setting WAS promptly addressed. However it required TWO service calls on consecutive days to identify the problem. Washing and rinsing in hot setting only was definitely an inconvenience and potentially damaging to some materials, much less an increase in utility costs. The owners were sensitive enough to not push the third service call on our last full day, this happened b/c we missed the plumber's attempt to contact. We happened to be on the beach, which is beautiful! The last significant issue was the overall cleanliness of property. There was sand left on landing and stairs. We realize that this is the beach, but upon arrival? Dusting/vacuum behind furniture (popcorn in the den, throat lozenge lost behind night stand, and a colony of dust bunnies behind the door in upstairs hallway bathroom) was inadequate and superficial. The bathroom mats were dirty and had to be taken up! The lid on kitchen trashcan was dirty with dried debris and stains from whenever. We cleaned it and used the trashcan without lid. We strongly recommend a different cleaning service who pays attention to detail. The ice maker was great! It made more cubes than we could use! The proximity to beach and access to nearby pools was truly the highlight as time spent in the house itself just revealed the neglect this home has suffered. This was especially disappointing since the owners themselves use the property, which should have given them a personal assessment of the conditions. The owners decline any effort to account for/rectify our mixed feelings on this stay.

Great beach house right on the ocean. Lots of sleeping space.
A property that sits on a dead end street that makes it quiet yet still very convenient to everything in the area. So nice to be able to walk out on the porch and then right on to the beach. The house is spacious, quiet and well furnished with three off street parking spaces. We enjoyed it immensely.

Our stay was great!
You really can’t beat renting a house right on the beach. It was incredibly convenient and only a 10 min walk down the beach to the boardwalk. It was perfect and we had a great time. The house was clean, had everything we needed, and Barbara was very responsive before, during, and after our stay and even sent us an item we left behind. I would definitely recommend this rental.

The Best of Both Worlds in Bethany Beach
This is a wonderful beachfront home located in Bethany Beach, Delaware. With a large open living room/dining room, it is a great place to spend time with family and friends. I have vacationed here with my family, making special memories with 4 generations, every year since 2004. I also spend a long weekend with my girlfriends here each year. It is a great house, open and airy located right on the beach. The large deck is great for enjoying oceanfront sunrises, sunny days, starlit nights or all of the above! The house is well equipped with even beach chairs and a beach umbrella! For a reasonable fee you can enjoy the amenities at Sea Colony which includes indoor and outdoor pools, activities, tennis courts, and exercise facilities. The town of Bethany is just a short walk away where you will find shops, restaurants, and a mini golf course. The owners of this house are very accommodating and easily accessible should you have any problems during your stay. This is a great house with a great location, both for beach lovers and "city lovers". Highly recommend this house!

Bethany Beach house
This house provides an strong feeling of hominess for a rental property. It's location is unbeatable (directly on the dune), as well as being an easy walk to town. The house is immaculately clean, and extremely comfortable. Being a repeat guest, I look forward to next summer and another stay at this house.

Unbeatable location, beautiful property
I have spent a week during the last four summers at this beautiful beach house, and look forward to returning in the future. This house is perfectly located right on the beach and 5 minutes from town, which makes it perfect for any type of vacationer. I personally like to wake up, walk to town for a latte, go to the beach for the morning, relax in the shaded porch for lunch and bike around the cute town in the afternoon. The owners have updated key elements of the house throughout the year, most recently renovating the bathrooms and adding new twin beds. They are also very responsive and helpful if you have any issues. You couldn't ask for a better summer vacation spot!

Fun in the Sun
We have stayed at this beach house in Bethany Beach every summer for many years. The ocean front property is lovely....very warm and comfortable. The owners have updated the kitchen and bathrooms as well as added hardwood floors on the first level. The new sofa is a great addition to the living area. The screened-in porch is ideal for any meal, especially dinner and the deck is equipped with a barbeque and lounge chairs. It is so nice to have the convenience to just grab your chair and relax on the beach in just seconds! The parking can accommodate at least 5-6 vehicles. We are looking forward to returning next summer.
