Spent a wonderful week in this beautiful home. Accommodated the 12 of us very nicely. Kitchen well stocked and happy to see a Keurig. Some of us enjoyed the kayaks on the bay and crabbing from the pier only a short walk away. The free parking passes for the beach were appreciated. Since it was a very hot week, the lovely pool was probably our favorite pastime. The owners were very friendly and helpful when needed. Would not hesitate to stay in this rental again.

This was our yearly family trip to Bethany. With the grandkids nearly adults we didn’t mind being a bit farther away. We usually stay close to the beach. The property was clean and the pool inviting. We had close access to the highway but yet not on top of it. We enjoyed crabbing at the Salt Pond too. Everyone we encountered was friendly. Our only negative comment would be to have access to a second refrigerator. With 5 bedrooms and 10 + people staying it would be very helpful. Otherwise it was everything we could ask for.

Everything about this property was perfect. The house was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The teenage girls especially loved their space with their own bathroom. We also enjoyed the pond for paddle boarding but most of all the boys were so excited about catching so many large crabs at the dock. It was very convenient being so close to the house. The pool provided so much fun for all of us especially the kids. Rosemary and Billy are wonderful caring people who respond quickly to any issues. They work hard to make sure your vacation is a good one. Thank you

We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was beautiful and spacious, and perfect for our kids to play safely. The baby gate was much appreciated! We loved having the pool right outside for our private use and the location being so close to the state park and Bethany. We also enjoyed using the kayaks at the picturesque Salt Pond at the end of the private road. Thank you for opening your home to us! We’d love to return again in the future!

The owners were very helpful and super friendly. We enjoyed the crabbing and kayaking that was just a short walk away. The house was large and we all were happy with the space. The house has a salt water pool that was the perfect size. They had nice outdoor furniture and a gas grill by the pool. They provided a pass for the State parks so we did not pay for parking.

This property was as represented. Very clean, spacious, nicely appointed and comfortable for my entire family. It suited our needs perfectly. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet very close and easy access to all of the things we love to do when we go to the shore. The owners, Billy and Rosemary, were kind and quick to respond to any requests or questions we had.
Thank you for sharing your home with us, we highly recommend it to others!

The Pilot House was the perfect location for our family vacation! We found your home to be spotless and nicely furnished, and very well supplied. The pool and the location of the house provided fun for everyone from our 3 toddlers to our golfers and bikers. It was convenient to the beach and boardwalk, and the grocery store. We were also grateful for the many local attractions on the rainy days!

Inground pool was awesome and nice to have, just bring your own floats and air pump :)

Bill and his wife are wonderful people and a pleasure to talk to

The house was perfect for what we wanted and there was so much to do. There was kayaking, walking and bike riding, close to the beach and a wonderful pool'

Positives- the Salt Pond and kayaks, big kitchen table and open concept, nice pool and patio ambiance
Things to know- you'll need to bring own sheets, pillowcases, paper products, soap, garbage bags, plastic bags, beach towels... for the amount paid for the week we were surprised at how much we needed to bring and how much we needed to clean (toilets, floors, random stains) and set up ourselves. This house has a lot of potential though.

Great Vacation at Salt Pond
We all had a fun time. The kids loved the pool and the beach

My husband and I, my sister and her husband and my two daughters and spouses and 2 year old grandson stayed a week. Air conditioning broke on first day. The owner purchased portable air conditioners and all was well again. No issues, great location fun pool but another umbrella would of been great for shade. We would definitely go with this property again or one of this owners other rentals.

GREAT week!!!
Our whole family loved this house! Our 2 grand daughter ages 5 and 8 really loved the pool even though it was COLD! (Memorial Day week) Our only complaint was the scarcity of paper products. The main beach of Bethany was only about 10 minutes away and the street the house was on was a dead end so very little traffic! We would definitely come back the next time we take a family vacation!

My family (2 adults, a nanny, a toddler, and a newborn) recently stayed here and absolutely loved it. Plenty of room - the pictures are lovely but don’t reflect how much room we had to spread out. We could have easily invited another family to stay with us. The many floor to ceiling windows provided great natural light. The pool was warm, well kept, and the pool furniture so incredibly comfortable for us to relax or eat nearby. Again - incredibly spacious! The beach is only a few minutes drive away, but we were relieved to have some space between us and the boardwalk crowd. Inside the home is incredibly child friendly (with beautiful pictures of the children who were raised there!).
The host, Billy, is a gem. He answered all of our questions about the town and his home. He directed us to some great restaurants and some beach parking tips. As lovely a host as I’ve ever met! Our family needed a convenient and relaxing getaway. This was all that and more!

This was the perfect spot for our vacation and for our wedding that took place on the dock of Salt Pond, which was also the perfect size for our extremely intimate gathering. The house was very clean, bright and very well kept, and the caretaker very attentive and kind. We appreciated the parking passes for the state beaches as well as the pool. Two thumbs up.

We had a very relaxing stay at this spacious and clean home. There was a wind storm before we arrived and the pool area was in disarray but the owners got it cleaned up by our second day. Lots of bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms for a big family. Quick drive to the beach.
