Very nice cottage with every you need for a stay at the beach

Our checkin time was pushed back because the home was not cleaned on time. Uneven floors in the hallway, my daughter stubbed her toe bad on the hardwood floor that had a rug stapled to it to even it out. The back bedroom smells like mold, many of the outlets in the home did not hold any plugs, air conditioner in living room leaks onto the sofa. Owner was VERY RUDE upon checkout. We were out by 12:30, actually standing in the yard saying bye to our children. She left a nasty message on my phone as well and also on here. My fiance called her back to ensure her we were out and she started yelling at her. My fiancee is a realtor, in business for 29 plus years. She’s highly upset how we were talked to. Would not recommend this address. I think the condition of the home is not up to the standards of homes we stayed at before through this app. She is actually making you look bad by her behavior. We did not deserve her rudeness!!!

Overall, a great visit to Bethany. The cottage is a cozy and comfortable place to stay. Pros: *Great communication with host! *Comfy beds *Nicely sized bedrooms *Quiet, tree-lined street -- very walkable *House stayed very cool with window/wall AC units (even in 97-degree heat!) *Relatively close to the beach (20-minute walk with teenagers, but this was difficult in extreme heat while carrying beach gear) *Very close to a trolley stop, which was convenient to travel to the boardwalk *Use of beach chairs & umbrella was very convenient so that we didn't have to bring our own (although the chairs are pretty old/banged up) Cons: (Please note: Host said she is remedying these issues, but wanted to share an honest review of our stay) *Had some issues with cleanliness when we first arrived--mold in shower and on shower curtain, mattress covers were very dirty/stained (we had to wash them upon arrival), tiny bugs in main bathroom. The remainder of the house was clean. *Wasps were living in the wood above the outdoor shower *Several burners on the stove didn't work & there was dirt in exhaust fan *The washer and dryer are in two different rooms, which makes the transport of laundry a challenge. It would be nice to have a laundry basket on site to help with this. Again, the host was very responsive to feedback and said these issues would be immediately addressed. Overall, it was a nice place to stay in a great, quiet location!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was clean, cozy and perfect for our needs. The cottage was actually much more spacious than we thought. We are a family of 4 and definitely could have fit more people comfortably. I loved the local decor around the house and the sound of church bells in the morning added to the charm. The highlight for my kids was the outdoor shower after returning from the beach each day. This is also made it very easy to keep sand out of the cottage. Our host was quick to answer any questions, although we didn’t have many questions because everything was well-explained ahead of time. The location was close to the beach (about one light up from the main beach area) and also to Ocean View, where we visited the Ocean View Brewing Company. The beach in Bethany was beautiful and clean. Mango’s was great for happy hour, 14 Global was a great culinary experience for the grownups on our trip, and the flowers all around town are absolutely gorgeous. We hope to come back again next year!

The cottage is in a nice neighborhood. We rented bikes and had a great time riding around. We went up and down Collins and experienced way less traffic. The bikes were very convenient and enjoyable. Bring a book bag to carry your things. The Landlord is very accommodating.

House was very clean and close to the beach. Host was very easy to contact. House was well decorated. Great stay, would highly recommend.

It was lovely, clean, well stocked, and welcoming.

We had a wonderful vacation at your lovely cottage!! Everything was so clean and supplied well. Very nice beds and all so cozy. We rode our bikes and we walked to Difebos for our dinner reservation on Tuesday! We love Bethany and all it has to offer. Beautiful, peaceful beach and the area and park is nice to take a leisurely walk. Thank you so much!
