We had a great time as always! This was our 3rd time staying at this property, and we've loved each time we've visited. Spacious house, great layout, and great location. Will be staying again next year!

We loved staying here. The house was clean, stocked with all kinds of stuff, great neighborhood, and just as the listing described. We were in town for a baseball tournament so my son loved coming back and soaking in the jetted tub. I really enjoyed sitting on the back and front porch feeling the breeze and listening to the ocean. I also enjoyed that the house was really close to places to eat and grocery store. We would definitely book again.

Enjoyed the beach house! Very clean, well appointed. Shelly even decorated for our families Christmas! Very short walk to the beach, even for a 3 year old. Would book again!

Had a great time! We love staying at this property, it's the perfect layout for our group of 10. Spacious common areas, and plenty of isolated quiet areas as well. Short walk to the beach makes for a perfect location!

Shelly is a wonderful host, providing comfortable beds, a pantry stocked with more spices than I have in my own kitchen, a garage filled with bikes and beach equipment, supplies for laundry, and immediate responses to all questions. No locked "owner's closets " she shares her home with her guests.
The inverted floor plan, with kitchen, dining, and living room on the top level and both a covered and open porch offered beautiful views of the canals. Getting groceries and suitcases up to the second and third levels was easy, even for our group of seniors because of the elevator!
The location was perfect. We put our kayaks in the canal from the back yard and paddled out to the peaceful Assawoman Bay. We walked 2 blocks to the beach, pulling a wagon we took along, filled with chairs and umbrellas kept in the garage for guests. Off season the beach was peaceful. Beautiful. But we were a bike ride away from
restaurants and shops in Bethany and Fenwick.
We're planning a second visit next year.

It's a great place for family and friends gathering. It's very quiet neighborhood, we enjoyed crabing, canoeing, and the sunset/sunrise at the beach -only 5 mins walk!

Couldn’t Ask For a Better Stay
The title says it all. The property, communication, location, and everything in between was impeccable. 3rd floor balcony overlooking the canals was really cool. Very spacious and comfortably fit 10 adults. Full size pantry with everything imaginable, kitchen-wise, was also a very nice touch.

Wonderful stay!
My family of five had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The house is well maintained and comfortable. I use VRBO for the majority of my travel and rely on the reviews. Everything I read prior to booking was 100% accurate. The house is perfectly located in South Bethany and a block from the beach. The neighborhood is very peaceful and our last morning just before we left at 6:00 a.m., I stood on the upper floor balcony and could hear the ocean. My entire family loved the location and look forward booking this location again.

Best Fall Girls Trip
First, the host is so very sweet and accommodating the location is perfect with about a 3 minute walk to the beach and the home is stocked with pretty much any essentials you’ll need for a weekend stay.
This home was especially amazing for our group as my best friend is disabled. The elevator, access to the bathroom, and pretty much every area of the home was accessible to her. Even the beach was accessible with an extensive ramp.
We could not have asked for a better retreat and will be staying again in the near future. Do yourself a favor and stop thinking about it and book yourself a well deserved getaway!

Great Stay!
We loved everything about the house and the location. It was great for our group of 10, as there was plenty of space for group gatherings and also lots of space to retreat to for privacy as well. It was a very short walk to the beach which was great as well. Will definitely book at this location again in the future.

Perfect house for a weekend at the beach with friends!
I really can't stay enough great things about our time at this house! Everything was so smooth and easy... from communication with the owner before the trip, to the check in and check out process.
The house is in a great location in South Bethany. You have beautiful canal views off the back of the property and are literally a 3 minute walk from the beach. The owners have plenty of beach gear that they offer for use. We even toured around the canal in their canoe. There is also a great fire pit out back.
The house was very well stocked and had anything we could have needed for food prep. The beds were so comfortable and everything was clean and updated.
It truly was a great weekend stay and we will definitely hope to stay here again soon!

September at the beach
This was our second time renting this property. We elected to return after a wonderful 1st trip. The second was just as great. No complaints again. 1 small issue with a fan breaking was remedied by other freestanding fans available on the property. The property is recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing stay neat the beach

Long weekend at the beach
This was our first time ever vacationing in Delaware after dropping off a child at college. This house was everything we could’ve wanted. Check in was easy. Everything was well stocked including all the beach gear and fun sporting equipment! The location to the beach was perfect and the outside porch on the canal was perfect for morning coffee or a relaxing evening. I would highly recommend this property and wish we could’ve spent a full week there. The outdoor shower was my favorite part!

Family Fun For All!
We had the best week at Shelly’s home! Everything was as advertised, and then some. My 2 kids (3 and 8) had a blast going on the canoe, playing ping pong, making s’mores in the fire pit, and hitting the beach every day. The elevator is an especially nice touch. Shelly could not have been more responsive. We cannot wait to get back! Thanks again!!

Listing just as described. Shelly was great, so helpful, and always just a text away. The house was beautiful and clean and the outdoor deck and furniture were my favorite place. The house accommodated the group of us, everyone was able to have their own room and bathroom. The linen service was easy and efficient. The kitchen stock was very useful. Would love to stay longer next time!

Beautiful, comfortable, and clean
This home is the beach house you always wanted. The spaces are tastefully decorated and comfortable. The upper main level is a spacious and open area with great views. The kitchen is well appointed. The beach was a short walk. We stayed on some chilly days so the gas fireplace was nice to have. We would definitely stay again.

High quality, beautiful property
My family and another including 4 kids under the age of 4 rented Shelly's property. This was a new listing. The owner promptly responded to my questions and approved booking within hours.
The house is GORGEOUS, solid, roomy, bright and open. It is expertly decorated. If you have kids, hide the breakables!!! There was more than enough space for 8 people. New carpet, very comfortable mattresses, fireplaces... the list goes on. This is by far the nicest beach rental I have been to.
The kitchen is equipped to cook. Everything in the house is in great shape and organized.. The grill worked well. The elevator helps to brings things up and down (kitchen on the top floor). If it was warmer, I would have loved to play outdoors more with the toys provided: scooters, ping pong, canoe.
3 short blocks to the beach, walkable to some shops, short drive to central Bethany... this is a perfect location for a group wanting to hang out at the house. I can't wait to come back when it is warmer.
This property is worth the money!!! Thank you, Shelly for a wonderful short stay!
