We enjoyed our stay very much(we are 4 couples for a family reunion). The house is lovely and very welcoming. Great location! Very close to the beach, Nice neighborhood for our morning walks.
All the rooms were very spacious and the beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone. Only complaint was we wished we had booked a longer stay.

House is just as pretty as the pictures. Loved the pantry in the kitchen. Plenty of space for a large family.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was in an ideal location, immediately across from beach access. The beach is very family-friendly and much less crowded than other area beaches due to limited access. The house is in great shape with ocean views and had everything our family needed to enjoy an amazing vacation!

We were more than pleased with the beach house this holiday. The Sand Trap in South Bethany was a beautiful house. The house was very clean and perfect for our holiday. We enjoyed the hot tub and especially enjoyed the views from the main floor.
Hope to visit again.

We had a wonderful time at the property which included a total of 12, from 1 to 71. The space was suited for entertainment and enjoyment, nice and close to Bethany but far enough to avoid the traffic. The beach was pristine, and the top deck had incredible views. Highly recommend!

Pride of ownership shines through in every aspect of this beautiful home. Our large family enjoyed our 10 night stay immensely. All our needs were met from the very beginning of signing our lease to the day we checked out. Ria is definitely a Premier Hostess. She answers all inquiries within minutes. Access to the beach could not be easier, the views from the house are spectacular, the house was spotless.

Excellent location
Love the location to the beach. Ten of us stayed and we had plenty of room and privacy. The main floor was perfect. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. A minute from the beach, and nice quiet neighborhood to walk or bike wherever you wanted. Would definitely rent again.

Fantastic Property in South Bethany Beach!
We loved our stay at The Sand Trap. This was a "cousins reunion" - all 11 of us now in our 60's - in S Bethany. The house was completely as described and photos recent and accurate. The kitchen was well-stocked and everything was in working order - really enjoyed having 2 coffee pots for the amount of people we had. The bedroom and bathroom configuration worked out very well for us. The parking capacity is excellent and the beach is right out the door!
The booking process was easy and I received excellent communications throughout the booking, arrival, the visit and the check-out processes.
Would highly recommend The Sand Trap for large groups - it's got everything you need and convenient to Bethany, Rehobeth, and Ocean City.

Super spring vacation
Our family spent the most marvelous week at the Sand Trap. The house is gorgeous - so beautifully decorated and comfortable for our group of 9 family and friends. The location is amazing - such easy access to walk on the beach (too cold to swim in April) and we saw dolphins one day. Also easy walk or drive to the boardwalk which was great fun to explore. We visited Assateague National Park and saw wild horses - a highlight of the trip for my granddaughter and me!
The house itself was by far the best rental I've stayed in. Everything was in superb working order with easy to follow instructions and labeled light switches - a small, but great detail. The kitchen was well appointed with quality dishes, appliances, and baking pans. The large dining table was convenient for eating and games and the living room comfortably fit all of us for movie night. The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable.
One of the best things about this rental was the easy, quick response from the owner and the folks at the rental agency. They were both awesome in answering questions and making sure our trip was pleasant. I really can't say enough good things about the Sand Trap! It was a most enjoyable and memorable home away from home!

Spectacular Views
The sand trap has wonderful views and is spacious enough for a large group. It’s an easy walk to the beach and wonderful to enjoy your coffee on the crow’s nest. The sound travels quite a bit in the house, but besides that- the property was wonderful. Thank you to Ria and Sandcastle Realty for making this a wonderful stay!

Family Christmas
The Sand Trap was an awesome house for our three generation family of 9 to spend Christmas and New Years together. The house is very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We enjoy cooking together and the kitchen was very well equipped and open to the living area. The bedrooms are large and most have an attached bathrooms. The views from the living room are very nice and you almost feel beach front. The upper deck has amazing 360 degree views The beach is just across a quiet street with a new boardwalk making it an easy walk. Ria and Sandcastle realty were very easy to communicate with even though their offices were closed for the holidays.

Great beach house
Our extended family stayed at this property for a week vacation. The property was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The location was excellent, only a few steps from the beach. The owner supplied many extras, such as beach chairs. We are planning to return next year.

Beautiful home in South Bethany Beach
This is our 3rd time staying in this rental home and its beautiful. Close to the beach access and the views from the deck/crows nest are awesome. The decor in the house is so nice, large dinning table and comfortable living area for large families. Also, love the availability of beach chairs, beach toys, and umbrella!!

Beautiful house at great location
Took my wife, 2 sons families (5 grand kids) for a week. Loved every minute of it. The kids especially loved the crow's nest. Easy stroll to the beach (maybe 50 feet). All amenities available, we could have left our beach chairs at home. 2 things to be aware, 4 half flights of stairs to get to the main living area ( counted it as extra calories available for snacks...) And any one on the second floor can hear anyone walking on the third floor but kids did not seem to loose sleep over it. Overall a GREAT place to vacation at a very quite location

Beautiful home and view
We were two families of four and had a great time.
Pros:
--The kitchen is large, everything works great, plenty of everything for cooking, baking, drinking, storage, etc.
---The great room is sunny and lovely at all hours of the day and night.
---The big dining table was big enough for all meals, board games, puzzles.
--- The LR furniture is very comfortable and ample
---Location is top notch.
Cons:
---A couple of the downstairs beds were a bit saggy in the middle.
---I wish there was more than one hang out area instead of the 6th bedroom.
---There is too much furniture on the small covered porch. It is hard to move around out there if multiple people want to sit

Winter Beach Escape
We had a great week at The Sand Trap. The six bedroom house was fully furnished and the kitchen stocked with everything we needed - even a mixer we used to make fresh whipped cream! The large seating area in the kitchen/dining area allowed for all 10 of us to enjoy dinner together. There is a short walk to the beach, which is very wide in both directions. One day we walked to downtown Bethany and enjoyed boardwalk fries on the walk home. Many shops were open, even in the winter. Sunrises and sunsets were viewed from the crow's nest top deck - such beauty! The hot tub and jetted bath kept us warm in the winter chill. The owner was very helpful during our stay -- the internet went out at one point and before I even knew it was a problem, the owner texted me stating that they were trying to fix it remotely. A few minutes later the problem was resolved and we were back online -- thank you! Bethany in the winter is very quiet and peaceful - a perfect getaway!

Great Beach Stay
The Sand Trap in South Bethany is a great house! Very roomy and spacious accommodating multiple families and children. The location is great and the walk to the beach is short and safe. The view from the roof deck is very good and you can see the ocean from the second floor common area and deck. The kitchen was well stock with all cooking needs. There are plenty of beach chairs and toys. We had a wonderful time with our family for Halloween during COVID! We would definitely would love to stay again.

Another 5 Stars!
From booking to check-out, this rental exceeded all expectations. Ria was quick, friendly and efficient in her responses. The house is super clean, feels brand new. We had more than enough room at maximum capacity. Leave your big beach cooler at home... if you need refills, it’s a 1 minute walk back to the house. The beach was in perfect condition and the water was amazing. Loved watching sunrises and stargazing from the roof deck. This place is pretty much perfect!

Amazing views in a beautiful home
This home is lovely. The views of sunrises and sunsets are spectacular! The beach is gorgeous, with the dolphins playing in the waves. It takes a short minute to walk down the path. No traffic to worry about.
It is a short drive to Bethany Beach, as well as Fenwick island and some great restaurants.
Our 3 generational family loved this home. It offered plenty of room to spread out , as well as the great room to come together to play games.
RIA is a gem and is immediately responsive to any question. She is the perfect hostess and owner.
The roof top deck is so peaceful, with amazing views. We all loved this home and will be back!

Sand Trap review
Another lovely stay at the Sand Trap this year. Plenty of parking. Easy access to the beach and a really nice view. As close to being beach front without actually being beach front. We'd like to recommend Ocean Cycles in South Bethany having used them for two years as well. The kids and adults appreciate having cruisers to bike around town.

Awesome home with a short walk to the beach.
We are an extended family and had plenty of room. House is big and well maintained. Would definitely rent it again.
