About this house rental

The six bedroom, five full and two half bath Indian River Retreat Beach House is the perfect place for a family vacation. The beach house is located in the private gated community at South Shore Marina - located at the north end of Bethany Beach.

With the large windows and multiple decks, including a spiral stair case to the sun deck, this house will become a family favorite for summer trips. The house is walking distance to Delaware Seashore State Park (6/10ths of a mile), where you can enjoy a life guarded beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The Indian River Bay surrounds the home and provides an amazing landscape for relaxation and some of the best sunsets you will ever see.

This modern beach home was professionally decorated and is an ideal summer getaway. The open floor plan on the main level allows you to gather with your family and closest friends, but the multiple levels create privacy and space.

The house elevator makes it easy to get luggage and groceries to each floor.

Spend the day at the beach or take part in the activities offered by Delaware Seashore State Park or all that the local beach communities have to offer. In the evening wind down with dinner and live music overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or Indian River Bay at either Big Chill or Hammerheads, our two local communal restaurants.

The chef in your family will have access to a large kitchen and everything needed to prepare a great family meal or choose to grill on the deck overlooking the Bay. When the sun goes down and things move inside, its time to challenge family and friends to a game of corn hole or cards or enjoy a movie on one of the six large smart TVs.

The home is a short drive to all of the area attractions including: Rehoboth, Dewey, Fenwick Island and Ocean City, MD beaches, outlet shopping, brewery tours, golf, boating, jet skiing, fishing, amazing food and restaurants and so much more.

This large home is located in a quiet and secure neighborhood with beautiful views of the inlet! The pool is right next door, and the beach is close with lifeguards, convenient parking and bathrooms. The house is very spacious, has a fantastic layout, 3 king beds (which is not easy to find!), bunk room for kids, and 2 more queen rooms. (We put a baby in a pack 'n' play in one of these rooms.) There are plenty of spaces for congregating as well as to have some quiet time. The house is well-equipped with an elevator (great for unloading and loading), large smart TV's, extra refrigerator and beverage fridge, beach chairs, beach umbrella, etc... Owners were very responsive to inquiries, and they provided a detailed fact sheet which was very useful. Light switches and kitchen cabinets are labeled which was very helpful. I gave it a 4 for cleanliness, but this may have been due to the fact that we rented late in the season. This fact alone is outweighed by all of the positives, and we would rent this home again.

Large, roomy house with many areas to lounge, have some fun or for privacy. Very well-equipped and outfitted, especially in the kitchen.

We had a family gathering with 11 people, including 4 children ages 2-8. This house is so spacious, with 6 large bedrooms, each with its own bath, and 3 different floors. The third and fourth floors have a variety of gathering places along with several porches and decks. There is also a rooftop deck, from which one can see sunrises and sunsets -- very beautiful. The house is directly across from a pool, which was wonderful for the kids, who love the pool. The ocean is not an easy walking distance - close to .8 or .9 miles -- so if you are going with kids and bringing chairs, umbrellas and toys, you most likely will be using a car. Parking is $10 per day ($5 for Delaware residents) and once the car has a tag, you can leave and come back multiple times in the day. The beach is very pleasant. The owner has supplied 8 beach chairs and two beach umbrellas, along with boogie boards and tubes. Our family had a fabulous time, and cooked in every night but one, though there are many take-out options in Bethany for those who prefer not to cook. I would highly recommend this house for a large group -- very spacious and so many different areas to hang out.

This was the perfect spot for our multigenerational family beach vacation. Great space for all of us to spread out but large dining and living area for time together. Gorgeous views in all directions. There was a quick response to any concerns we had.

It is wonderful that linens and towels are provided (you should note that beach towels are not included). Very well outfitted house which is extremely well organized and exactly as advertised. Our family enjoyed the many different areas where we could relax. The owner/manager was immediately accessible when we had a question.

This house was perfect for 3 families with teenage / adult children. Kids had to drive / Uber to Bethany Boardwalk but it was very easy. The house is huge with lots of decks and perfect if you are serious about corn hole. The eagle’s nest was the adults’ favorite spot with amazing, unobstructed views. We could watch 15 different fireworks on the 4th of July from the upper deck and some locals set some off in the neighborhood marina that were very impressive. Hosts were very friendly and in touch with us. Would stay here again!

So many bedrooms, bathrooms & hangout spots for a large family to enjoy both privacy and fun times spent together over meals & games. Super location next to the water for kayaking, plus the pool and pickleball courts are a few steps away. Rooftop deck was enjoyed daily for sunrises and sunsets. Biking trail nearby.

We've stayed at several different kinds of beach houses over the years and this is hands down the best one we've stayed at so far. The home is so well-appointed. There is truly something for everyone at this home. Whether you want to read or get some work done in the quiet library, watch a movie as a family in the main living area, play games in the game room, or sit and listen to the sound of the wildlife in the screen room (without being attacked by insects!), it truly does accommodate all kinds of guests. We really appreciated that everything was labeled in the kitchen, as well as the light switches. The check-in and check-out instructions were very clear. We are so happy we found this home and we cannot wait to come back next year!
