About this house rental
Large, spacious 2800 sq. foot house. The house is situated right on the lake with amazing water views. You can launch your kayak, canoe, or paddle board right off the dock in the back of the house. You can also fish off our dock. Hours of fun on the lake! Or just sit back and relax on our back deck to the water views watching the herons, ducks, and all the wildlife. There are also 2 tennis courts in the neighborhood for you to use.
The house is just 1 mile down the road from the town of Bethany and the beach. Easy 20 min walk to the beach but even better, the trolley stops right in front of the house. The trolley runs every 1/2 hour during the summer and drops you off right at the beach and town. So park the car, go to the beach during the day, enjoy the restaurants in town in the evening, and the next time you will get in your car is when you leave to go home. If you prefer to drive to the beach, it's only a 5 minute drive and there are 2 parking passes available for your use.
The main level features a large open living room/dining room. There is a full wall of windows in the living room with amazing water views of the lake. There is a flat screen TV and DVD. The house has cable and wireless internet.The large kitchen off the dining room has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The screened in porch is off the dining room with water views. There is a lounge area and also small dining area there. Walk outside the screened in porch onto the main floor deck and there is a great lounge set with amazing water views.
There is also a large bedroom with its own bathroom on the main level so great for those who don't like stairs. Next to the bathroom is the laundry room with full washer/dryer.
Up the stairs to the 2nd floor is a loft hallway that looks onto the main floor. The large master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with granite countertops. There is also a TV in the room. Off the master bedroom are sliding doors to the upstairs deck. This deck has 2 chaise lounges and a sitting lounge set with water views. There are 2 more bedrooms which share a bathroom.

The house is very family friendly. In the bunk bed room, the dresser is a dresser/changing table combo. There is a changing pad in the closet. You just need to bring your changing pad cover. There is also a diaper genie and pack and play in the closet for your use if needed. In addition, there is a bin of toys in the bunk bed room that will keep the kids entertained for hours.
The house sleeps 13 people with the above arrangement and that is the maximum number of occupants allowed for our rental.
The driveway is large enough to park 4-5 cars. There is an outside shower on the right side of the house. The lake that the house sits on connects to the canals which connects to the bay.

So great location and close to all the beaches if you want to explore more than one.

We loved how close to the beach we were but still felt like we were nestled in a lakeside home. Like getting the best of both worlds! Lovely home and beautiful views and plenty to do nearby. It was perfect for our girls weekend !

The pictures for this listing does not do it justice. This home is beautiful and clean in a very peaceful neighborhood. Close to everything and easy to get around, especially with the Trolley which passes right by the house and will take you down to the beach area. Our host was responsive and very accommodating. We were 3 couples and there was plenty of room for everyone. I highly recommend this home and will definitely book again when visiting that area in the future.

Great location. Only down side was the noise echos due to few carpets and high ceilings with open bannisters to top floor. I could hear everything the person in the kitchen was doing, up in my room unfortunately. (Like making early morning coffee!). So just something to be mindful of, if your group isn’t all on the same page waking up! But not deal breaker!

A beautiful house with a scenic view of the lake! The location was perfect and the neighborhood seemed safe - also close to downtown Bethany and the beach. We didn't use the trolley but nice to know we could hop on right in front of the house. Kayaking in the lake and through the canals was nice and peaceful. There were so many interesting birds to see along the way. The owner was very responsive and also provided tips/recommendations about the area which was very helpful. We had a great time!

There were 8 of us in the party. The house was perfect. Close enough to the beach to enjoy everything and far enough to not be in the craziness.
The house was clean and exactly what we were needing for the weekend.

Lovely property, great location, quiet and convenient.
The home itself, however is in need of deep cleaning and repairs.
For example, some hardware on the doors of the kitchen cabinets were totally missing ( this had been mentioned in a previous review but obviously not attended to), screen door to backyard doesn’t fit correctly, big gap at bottom ( also noted before our visit). The tub was stained brown from water issues I suppose, but my postpartum daughter in law was on her hands and knees trying to clean it so her little children could use it. I was so embarrassed about that. No mirror in first floor bedroom, fans and return vents covered in dust and grime, antenna in master bedroom SCOTCH TAPED to the wall. Windows look like they have never been washed. Screened in porch needs an outdoor fan. Mini blinds with cords are a choking hazard and need to be updated.
All that being said, we enjoyed our week at the beach for many other reasons. We just feel this property needs some deep cleaning and attention. Would love to rent again, but will not consider unless property is given some attention.

As always love BB, home was disappointing
Wonderful location! Quiet, peaceful spot. On the lake. Shuttle pick up at door. Watching Osprey, Blue Heron and Cormorants was fabulous. Trees with many different nest. All fantastic pluses for this home. Home itself was overall disappointing. Needs some TLC and deep cleaning. On arrival we cleaned the entire house. Floors, tabletops, counters, bathroom and all touch surfaces. In the owners defense we did not contact him. We witnessed the cleaning company leaving and didn’t feel calling them back would be helpful. It smelled like they sprayed some fragrant cleaner but did very little cleaning. We decided to clean the entire place ourselves. For the price charged ~ we expected a higher end, well cared for home. It is not. Several kitchen cabinets are missing hardware, cannot fully open dishwasher as broken bottom stove drawer impedes it’s opening, Dining room chairs and upholstered chair (its a removable cover) are dirty and need care. We left the home in far better condition they when we arrived. We have been visiting BB since 1993 ~ we will not stay here again. We were expecting a well loved home.

Wonderful Property - Super Location
This is a beautiful home with incredible ammenities. The trolley that stops right in front of the house to shuttle you to the beach is awesome. The neighborhood is quiet and the nature surrounding the property is wonderful for people of all ages. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again in the future!

Overall we had a great weeks vacation! The property is as shown on the photos. The location is wonderful, the trolley is very convenient, and the community is very nice! There are a few things that do need attention or upgrading, such as screen doors on the enclosed porch do not close, and one screen area is torn, so you really aren’t keeping the bugs out. Also all the toilets ran most of the time, and the upstairs bathroom door was barely on hinges, I actually fell off and the men in our group were able to put it back up , but there are things that need to be taken care of.

We had a blast at this property!
We brought our kayaks and a SUP. It was the perfect spot for these types of watercraft.
There were so many places to explore! House views of the lake and water fowl were incredible.
Host was very responsive, too!
Loved this vacation!!.

We spent the weekend at this property and we were so pleased! You open the front door and immediately see the huge windows with the lake view. Beautiful!!
The home is a quick 5 minute drive to the Bethany boardwalk, and with the parking pass included, finding parking was easy… even when it was crowded!!
The owner was accommodating, quick to respond to any questions, and made it an easy check in and check out.
We will definitely book this house again!

The Bethany Lake House was an absolutely wonderful stay! The property managers are very accommodating in that they met our specific requirements. The house was very clean, quiet and as advertised the lake view is just stunning. We rented a kayak from a nearby business "Coastal Kayaks", great people! We kayaked around the island and into some of the channels, just serene and pleasant as can be. Bethany Beach is literally 7 mins drive and takes you straight to the Boardwalk Shops. The house hosts are very responsive and provide many other items to the stay-cation package that which one can choose to do. We have "favourited" the Lake House and will most definitely be coming back to stay again, with unanimous votes.
Thank you so much Thuy!

Loved the house and location. Very quiet neighborhood. Lake outside was great and trolley convenience was great. Lots of room in house so we didn't feel on top of each other. Only problem - the downstairs bedroom was never cool .

Such an enjoyable 2-week stay at this beautiful house on a lake with easy access to Bethany Beach! I spent every morning drinking coffee on the back porch, watching the herons right across the water. My husband took his canoe right off the dock in back to the Salt Pond and crabbed each day, and the kids and I took kayaks around the lake and canals. My kids also enjoyed the quick drive to Bethany Beach and the trolley that stops right outside the house. No need to choose between a beach and lake vacation at this house- it was the best of both worlds!
The house itself had plenty of room, was well-stocked and offered beautiful views out onto the lake. The owner was very responsive and kind-- we would book again in a heartbeat!

The house was perfect. We could walk to the beach or launch our kayaks off the dock and explore the lake and canals. We rented bikes one day and took the bike trail by the house that runs along the canal. There was so much to do. The house had plenty of room for all my sisters and their families to gather and relax. The home owners were very helpful and all their recommendations were very good.

Bethany Beach has such a nice atmosphere and the property was wonderful. Great accommodations, easy beach access and located on a lovely lake. We loved kayaking, and enjoyed watching the nest of herons that we could see from the house. The mini golf course right outside of the entrance to the neighborhood has wonderful ice cream. Would definitely book this again!

Fabulous Time!
My family and I are so happy that we booked this house! There was room for everyone (7 adults and 2 kids) to sleep comfortably and have their own space. We were originally seeking something closer to the ocean but the tranquility of the canal and the wildlife was the highlight! We watched the mama and daddy herons feeding their babies and painting such a beautiful silhouette in the trees. When we spotted one of the herons in the yard and saw her beautiful blue coloring, we were amazed. We loved seeing the geese take their families up and down the canal a couple times a day and a balk eagle flew overhead one day. Grandpa taught his two grandsons how to fish off the dock (so precious!) Adult daughters got to catch up on the front porch nightly. We all had a lovely time.
Oh, and we loved the proximity to the beach!
The kitchen had everything we needed. We brought pans, bowls, knives from home but didn't need them. My 87 yr old mother-in-law enjoyed it and especially the bedroom on the 1st level!
Thank you for such a beautiful home, incredibly instructions and suggestions. We hope to be back next year!

We had an amazing time! There were 6 adults and 4 kids from age 4-13. The rooms accommodated us all comfortably! The house had everything we needed to have a great time. We only left the house for groceries. The kitchen was well stocked, and the kids enjoyed the games and toys provided. There was plenty of space inside and out for us to gather. It was truly a weekend to remember! And Thuy was incredible throughout the entire process!

Comfortable House.
My husband and I rented this house so we could spend time with our grown children. Our daughter came from Maryland with a friend and we brought our son and his friend. This house is very easy to enjoy - we cooked, played games, watched movies - we had an enjoyable COVID free long weekend and reunited our family.

Booked only a week before traveling... I'd been deliberating between properties and finally made the call that the proximity to the water (albeit lake water) was better than proximity to beach.Thuy was incredibly responsive, and checking in was a breeze. She went above and beyond in accommodating us with early check-in and late check-out, which was much appreciated.This house was perfect for me and two friends, although the rooms would comfortably accommodate many more, this was ideal with all of us having our own bedroom and bathroom and plenty of outdoor space and comfy patio furniture.We immensely enjoyed having a front seat to the neighborhood bird dramas, and I have several pics of the resident Blue Heron. The temperature was a bit colder the weekend we were there, but we spent many hours on both the lower and upper decks, and the screened-porch on the rockers. All said, the house was incredibly comfortable and we had everything we needed in our peaceful Lakeview oasis. The sunset skies were spectacular, and being so close to the lake and a forested view was so relaxing. I will definitely book again and recommend!
