This property fulfilled all our needs, lots of space, and great outdoor areas. The widow's walk was awesome! The house was spotless upon our arrival. The location couldn't have been much better, our family had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the house. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet rental close to the beach.

My family and I just ended a week long family reunion vacation at South Bethany Beach. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into the house. It was clean, spacious and bright.
The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and baking dishes, utensils, pots and pans, serving dishes, etc....
There were 6 adults and 3 littles and we had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy time together and space to enjoy alone time as well. The location is convenient for access to the beach with just a block or two to walk. There was plenty of on site parking
The listing does mention that you must supply all bed linens, towels and pillows. We did rent from a rental company that was recommended but when we arrived, there were more than enough bed pillows and comforters on all the beds.
Downside - take a gate for the stairs if you have crawlers or toddlers. It would have been helpful to have had a high chair and or booster seat on site. We did supply our own
I would recommend this house to anyone.

Great house. Well stocked and convenient to the beach.

The house was just right for me and my family. It had enough bedrooms, bathrooms, living space, kitchen area. Decks were spacious whether you like the sun or shade. Neighbors were friendly. House is located 1 block from the beach. Beach was clean and well patroled by lifeguards. There was enough open beach sand to play bocce, can jam, wiffle ball, volleyball.
The house has the best location to visit the water park, kayaks, shopping, the boardwalk at Rehoboth, golf and some great restaurants. We had a great time.

We had 6 adults and 4 children ages 7, 5, 2 and 1. The house was located just a 2 min. walk to the beach which allowed people to go back and forth easily for lunch, naps etc. Very convenient to anywhere you want to drive to in the area. I would highly recommend this property.

Summer stay at # 6, South Eighth Street, South Bethany Beach, Delaware
My family (wife, daughter, son-in-law, and two grandkids) spent a week at the rental house described. Three stories, four bedrooms, three full baths, one half-bath. Outside deck on second floor, outside deck on third floor, rooftop deck. All the amenities were available and in fine working order. Good location, a five minutes (or less) walk to a less crowded beach. Easy biking into Bethany Beach itself (bike rentals abound). Owner/manager was accessible, attentive, responsive. All around a good time. Highly recommended.

7 Days of Fun in the Sun
Our time in South Bethany Beach was spectacular. Our beach rental allowed for sunlight to pour in the common areas which enabled us to feel like we were outside all day long. Not to be missed was the rooftop sitting area with extraordinary views over the bay and ocean. We had an incredible firework show on July 4th from the convenience of our home! No driving, no crowds and the fireworks were viewed from multiple sites throughout Bethany from our perch on the crows nest. Beach walk was simple, and our beach uncrowded. The neighborhood was family friendly and the convenience of a walkable gourmet market added to its convenient location.
We highly recommend Catch 54 restaurant in Fenwick Island, Shark Cove Marina for a Pontoon boat cruise and Steamers Seafood Market for fresh oysters. Don't forget to bring your beach chairs, umbrellas and games!

Nice place; could use a little upkeep
There was a lot we liked about this property. Great location, spacious layout, and plenty of space indoor and outdoor to retreat to. Overall, it's in good condition but there are signs of expected wear and tear within the home, kitchen cabinets, and some appliances. Unfortunately we encountered some untimely issues during our stay. We immediately contacted the property manager who was prompt and responsive to our calls and emails. So, our advice would be, if something is not as you expect, give him a call. He will take care of it for you.
We also suggest taking a drying rack (or two!). There are not enough towel racks/ hooks and only a small wash line for wet suits and towels and bath towels. We do plan to return to this property next year!

Perfect Beach Vacation!
This house is great! It sleeps 10+ with spacious bedrooms (with really comfy beds!) and 3.5 baths so everyone has plenty of space! I love the living area - the kitchen, dining room and living room are all open and it's a great space for everyone to hang out and still have plenty of room. We loved the balconies - the kids had theirs on the 2nd floor that connected to those bedrooms and the adults enjoyed our morning coffee and afternoon beverages on the 3rd floor deck. The rooftop deck was perfect for watching the fireworks and sunsets. We've stayed at this house several times and enjoy it more and more each time. We also love the outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach and the storage room on the main level where we kept our beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc. so we didn't track sand into the house. We love this house!

Great stay in Bethany Beach
The house is pretty much as pictured. It was clean when we arrived, beds are comfortable, and the kitchen nicely equipped. The BBQ works very well. The wi-fi is weak and when we were all working or doing something it got pretty slow. But wi-fi services in Bethany seem to be an issue. But the best by far was the beach. It is a block away and it was wonderful. Jeremy was responsive and clear in his communications with us.

Memorable Vacation had by all!
The house was well equipped and clean when we arrived. Rooms were spacious and we loved the open kitchen-family room-dining area combined. The outdoor deck was great however due to rain every evening this week the cushions didn't have a chance to dry out so we were able to really use the space. The screened in porch was awesome for eating crabs and playing games. Overall, it was a very special family vacation. Thank you for opening your home. We will definitely plan a return trip!

Mostly good, but some issues
The house was good, with good layout and well equipped kitchen and convenient to the beach. However, there were only two beach chairs and no umbrella. We are used tp houses being better equipped, so we had to rent both an umbrella and beach chairs. The other more important amd dangerous issue was the malfunctioning propane grill!! We called about replacing/fixing it and it was replaced within 48 hours, but too late for us to use for a birthday party. The free golf was good.

Could have been great, instead disappointing
The property itself is in a great location, close to the beach, and nicely appointed. Sadly though, our 50th anniversary celebration with our children and grandchildren was horribly marred by the unit not having been cleaned after the previous tenant--and evidently NOT given a thorough cleaning before the start of the season. We literally stuck to the kitchen floor! We suspected it might have been the result of spilled fruit juice, but came to realize it was the grime generated by cooking with an over range exhaust fan than that does not vent to the outside. It took multiple scrubs with a degreaser to remove the sticky grime so that we wouldn't be tracking it across the shag carpeting. My oldest daughter was a real trooper taking on cleaning the floor, vacuuming sand from the carpets and from the duvets in two of the bedrooms, cleaning the counter tops and table top. No one should have to start a vacation in this manner.!! Sand had to be wiped from the drawers before clothing could be unpacked. Ants had to be killed before eating areas and bathrooms were usable.
The futon proved too rickety to use, the dishwasher rack required repair, and the propane grill needed a serious cleaning AND a new battery to start the pilot. The threshold on the slider from the living room to the deck was loose, causing tripping, and all the sliding doors were extremely hard to slide. Fortuantely a Dollar General was close by to purchase a wrench, WD40, etc., to make necessary supplies. However, the whole point in renting a place at the beach is to get away from such tasks. If we had wanted the hassle of cleaning and maintaining a place at the beach we would have BOUGHT one, rather than renting.
If layers of dust had been cleared from indoor wicker furniture, if the ceiling fans had been turned on at the fan so wall switches would function, or repaired, if the kitchens and baths had had a season deep clean, etc. our feeling about the experience would have been quite different. Losing time to cleaning and repairs--plus waiting for the Cable guy the day before our departure (since 2 of 4 TVs weren't working) really detracted from our enjoyment. Were this place properly maintained and cleaned it could be quite nice. There are spaces to gather and spaces to separate. The top floor and deck furnishings are quite nice, as is the screened porch with 2 picnic tables. A bonus was a porch swing on the second level. 1st floor storage room kept sandy items out.

Fabulous week!
We loved this house! It was spacious and comfortable. At one point during the week we had 13 people there and there was still room to move around. We particularly liked the screened in porch with the picnic tables end to end. We ate dinner as a full group every night and there was plenty of room. The decks were fabulous and I was able to get some great sunrise pictures from the rooftop deck. The proximity to the beach was even closer than we thought from google maps, so it made it very easy to go back and forth during the day. The code door entry was very convenient and we really liked being able to go straight to the house without having to go to a rental office. The only minor issue was that the futon on the lower lever was broken when we got there, however, no one slept there so it really didn’t affect us. All in all it was the best beach rental we’ve ever had and we would definitely come back to this house.

Great location, maintenance lacking
We realized when we checked in that a cleaning had not been done before our arrival. Mistakes happen. But at the beginning of the summer season you would expect that there would have been a thorough clean in the recent past, especially when you have an exhaust vent over the stovetop which simply sucks steam and cooking oils up into the microwave vent and then blows it all back out into the kitchen. There is a fine build up of cooking oil all over the floor and the kitchen cabinets. The corners of the doors where you open the cabinets were tacky and showing dirt from untold years of use without a thorough clean. Our shoes were sticking to the kitchen floor. There was a glider rocker full of sand and dust all along the bottom frame- no nursing mother would have wanted to sit there before it was cleaned. Wicker furniture is a pain to dust, and you really need a powerful vacuum to do it justice. These are all things that should be on a specific cleaning rotation. However we also found a number of simple maintenance issues. Here’s a list of issues:
Window in king bedroom’s bathroom on second floor is really hard to open/close.
Multiple spiders, cobwebs, and dead/ living bugs.
Futon is broken/damaged. Bolts are missing and wood is split. We fixed it as best we could so we'd feel comfortable sitting on it, but wouldn't trust it as a sleeping option.
Bunk room slider door tracks dirty like you wouldn’t believe. So is the vent next to it (I think the ventilation system in this house need to be cleaned, FYI).
The threshold plate to the slider door to the deck in the living room is not fastened and is a trip hazard.
The towel hook on the back of the door for en suite 2nd floor bathroom has come off.
The fan in the bunk room had loose blades and one of the screws holding the blade had fallen out. We had a screw driver and fixed that ourselves.
One of the chairs in the dining area has a broken stile in the back.
The grill’s ignition battery was dead, and we were fortunate enough to have a AA battery to replace it.
The grill is in need of a thorough cleaning. Other reviews mentioned that the hot water was an issue if doing washing and showering but after seeing the tiny size of this electric water heater we understood why by the 3rd consecutive, not simultaneous, shower we were running out of hot water. So to the positives, it is a lovely location, with close beach access. The home is pleasantly decorated and has lots of space, great layout, especially once including all of the cute decks and porches. It's great to have a screened-in section for bug free outdoor eating. The kitchen has tons of plates, glasses, and utensils for any kind of food prep (minus an ice cream scoop), both indoor and outdoor safe tableware. If what you are into is beach access, then this is a great set-up for large families.

Very nice
Very nice house. Well decorated and comfortable. Kitchen well stocked - almost too much, as there was no room in the cupboards for the groceries. Close to beach access/beach chairs available/nice outdoor shower. Very large and well furnished outdoor spaces. Our only complaint would be the carpeting on the stairs coming into the house - very musty smelling and stained. Would rent again.

Comfy, Clean, Convenient
Just got back from a family reunion in South Bethany. The house was clean and well equipped. The layout with two master bedrooms, two tv sitting areas, a powder room, outdoor shower, and several decks made it very livable for the adults and teens sharing the space. Loved doing early morning yoga on the crow’s nest upper deck! It is a short walking distance to the beach entrance, Grottos Pizzeria, McCabes deli and the bayside. The keyless entry system made the comings and goings of all our group easy yet secure. Just note that there are 3 flights of stairs to access the living space. Not ideal for those with ambulatory issues.

Lots of Space
The house was clean, had lots of deck space and inside areas to hang out with loved ones or have some alone time. Great water pressure in the showers and we almost never ran out of hot water. The outside shower has warm water also, very nice. The screened in porch is big with 2 picnic tables. The couches don't have legs, so they sit super low, this was annoying, especially for our parents who are older and have trouble getting up and down. Due to this, we would probably find another rental next year. Other than that small detail which is a big factor for people we care about, we loved our stay.

A South Bethany Jewel
This house was comfortable, convenient, and spacious for a family with 6 adults and one child. For a couple nights, two other members of the family joined us, and we still didn't feel crowded. The wraparound porches/decks on two levels add lots of living space and options for sun or shade, and the roof deck is a terrific stargazing venue. The proximity to the beach is an added bonus, and the beach at this S. Bethany location is wide and lovely. The kitchen is especially well equipped with dishes, glasses, cooking utensils, etc. and the central island makes a great prep or conversation area open to the dining and living rooms. Carpeting on the steps is a great noise reducer too! Lots of storage for beach stuff at ground level and outdoor shower and spigot meant we didn't track sand into the house. Generous parking space too. We couldn't have asked for more. Note: Kitchen and living area are on third level, so be prepared for stairs if that could be a problem.

Bethany beach house
We had a wonderful stay at the Bethany beach house. The house is located on a quiet street with minimal traffic and noise. We especially appreciated it's proximity to the beach/ocean (less than 1 block). The house is fully equipped with all the necessities for a full stay and the rooms are all a good size for large families.

We were a group of 11 & had plenty of room.
I agree with the other reviews so I’ll just list my Pros & 1 Con.
Pros
Storage room for beach chairs/umbrellas is on the ground floor, very convenient.
Two HVAC systems. One for each floor.
Comfortable beds
Kitchen was fully equipped and refrigerator made plenty of ice.
Unit has a digital door lock. Worked fine, plus no worry about keys
Con
There is only one hot water heater so you have to stagger taking showers. For 12 people you really need two.
We would stay here again. 4.5 stars
