First Time, But Definitely Not The Last!
4.8
We had 13 of us and it was comfortable could have used another bathroom at times and I agree with others the pullout shouldn’t be used by light sleepers but we all survived! The pools, kayak area and the neighborhood was beautiful!! Short drive to several beautiful beaches - Bethany Beach was our favorite! Kitchen had everything you would need and lots of fun extras in the garage that was nice to have. Becky was top notch with communication! She was also kind and pleasant to all my dumb questions! Thank you for a great time, lots of memories made!

Beautiful home with amazing neighborhood amenities to entertain everyone in the family.

The house is beautiful, It was so clean and well stocked for all of our needs. We had 5 Adults and 2 little ones, The Booster chair and gate at the top of the step was so appreciated. Everyone loved being able to fish in the pond in the back yard! Becky was very helpful, and communication was great with any questions we had! Thank you for an amazing week!

Had a wonderful stay. Very clean property. Becky was very helpful to any questions I had. Will stay again in the future.

Great for large groups/ families like mine. Becky responed immediately to any questions I had. Lots of games, space to spread out, a view of the lake, and sunset. The beach chairs, umbrella, and wagon were so nice to have. Bikes need some maintenance. Parking was a little stressful since only one car can be in the driveway. You will definitely get your steps in! Hauling sheets and towels were a first for me. And since we already paid for passes, I was not paying for linen service as well. If there are a lot of you, and you dont mind looking for parking and walking, than you will enjoy this home.

I am thrilled with this property and the owner. She went above and beyond with communication and made the process so easy for my son and his friends. It felt great to know they were in such a lovely, safe neighborhood. Cannot say enough good things. Thank you, Becky!!

Unfamiliar with the area, we decided to stay at a Bayside Resort. Becky was a wonderful host and provided so many details to ensure we had a great stay. The home was spacious and clean and there was so much to do in the community. Becky helped us navigate beach access, parking, pools, and a lot of other things that were very helpful. I strongly recommend this properly.

I recently booked this home for my 14 family members. We had never been to Delaware before. This house was beautiful, clean, had everything we wanted. Bayside is a huge resort with a ton of activities to do. (You pay extra for the resort passes, I am so glad we did.). It is also so close to Ocean City, Bethany and Fenwick Beach. Coming from Long Island we have beautiful beaches, these were just as lovely, clean and not very wavy. There was plenty of room for all, the beds were very comfortable and lots of sitting areas. We never felt crowded. I highly recommend this place. The owner Becky was in contact with me and always answered my questions very quickly. She was wonderful. Definitely book this home, you will not be disappointed!

Sleeps 13. The loft is out in the open so you needed heavy sleepers or early risers to sleep there. It took away from the actual common space. Kitchen was stocked with all the supplies we needed. xtra fridge in garage was great for drinks. The house was clean. The community is large, so I recommend bringing or renting bikes. Parking was a bit challenging b/c there is 1 spot in the driveway and you cannot park on the street near the house. 15-20 minute drive to the beach.
If you have teenagers, everything closed at 7 p.m. That was a little disappointing. The pool, the gym, the kayak rentals, the tennis and basketball courts all closed at 7 p.m.
The hostess was very responsive and available to help with any issues.
