About this house rental

This spacious waterfront home has everything you need for the perfect family vacation. Water views from almost every room provide a tranquil setting, while the private boat ramp, three docks, kayaks, shaded hammock, and outdoor games mean you'll never be bored. The uncrowded, wide beach of Fenwick Island State Park is a short walk (about three blocks). The town of Bethany Beach is a bike ride away.

Need a little break from the sun? No problem! This house is equipped with wireless internet, cable TV, a game closet packed with board games, cards, puzzles, and more. Two large living areas mean the kids and parents can all watch what they want on their own large TVs.

There is plenty of parking for 5 or more cars. See below for additional details on the property, handicap accessibility and accommodations.

Accommodation Details: The lower/ground level features a master bedroom with a King size bed and a full bath attached, a living room with bay view, a family room with a cove view, a spacious screened-in porch, a fully-stocked kitchen with counter seating for four, dining room with seating for 8 to 10 (we squeeze 12 around the dining room table, additional dining chairs are in the closet), an adjacent breakfast area with additional seating for five, and a powder room. A washer and dryer in the garage make it easy to toss in sandy bathing suits and towels.

The second level offers four more bedrooms configured as follows: King, King, 2 twins, 2 sets of bunks (4 singles), a sun deck, two more full baths, and a second laundry room.

Beach chairs, six bikes, sand toys, boogie boards, and additional beach accoutrements are stored in the garage and ready for your enjoyment. The outside shower has been viewed by some as 'the best room in the house. Please note: bath towels, mats, pillows and blankets are provided. Bed sheets are not provided - names of rental companies will be provided upon request.

The Property: This unique home is located on a property the size of four lots, situated at the end of a quiet dead-end street. Surrounded on one side by Davis Cove and on another by Little Assawoman Bay, the house offers pristine water views from every living area and almost every bedroom. Located directly across the bay from a state wildlife refuge, it's a great spot for birders, wildlife fans, and boaters alike. You never have to leave the house to have a dream vacation.

The restaurants and shops of Bethany Beach, including Sedona, DiFebo's, Grotto Pizza are just up the road.

Handicap and Wheelchair Accessible: Our family has several seniors, and we wanted them to be able to use the house comfortably. A ramp to the back door makes this property wheelchair accessible. The lower-level master bedroom is perfect for grandparents or others who don't like the stairs. The bathroom attached to the downstairs bedroom has a walk-in shower with safety bars. A shower chair is available upon request. The main living space is on the ground floor, so those using the downstairs, accessible bedroom will enjoy time with the family without climbing stairs. Please note that this downstairs bedroom is on the small side. Those with extensive mobility issues should inquire before booking.

Pet policy: Up to two dogs will be considered. Dogs must be at least 1 year(s) of age or older, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on rabies vaccinations and all other vaccinations. Heartworm preventive is highly recommended. Pet fee will be agreed upon by the owner and renter prior to finalization of reservation.

The house is spacious and beautiful!!! The amenities are new and top rated. There was plenty of room (not just bedrooms but living areas) for 8 adults and 2 dogs. The location gives you the best of the bay and beach. There were enough kayaks for everyone to enjoy the bay, and we were able to fish/crab right from the property. The beach is walking distance and not crowded. If you have a surf fishing permit and 4X4, you can park right on the beach (but you need to be "actively" fishing while parked there).

Our stay was wonderful. The house was beautiful, well equipped and the location was perfect. Plenty of room for the kids and pups plus enough space to have quiet time as well. Beautiful views from all the windows. Lisa was a pleasure to deal with. Her communication was timely and she answered all our questions. I can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend this location!

Everything was lovely, thoughtful, and comfortable. Our group of adults enjoyed the birds, the water, and every moment of our early May stay in this light-filled home.

We planned a celebration for our 60th birthdays and when our adult children were able to join us, we searched for a property that would meet our needs as well as theirs. This property checked ALL the boxes. Right on the water, lots of outdoor space, tons and tons of room inside. But the thing that really made this getaway special was the attention to detail that the host Lisa has provided her guests. Often a property is just used as an income generator, but you can really see and feel that this home is used by her family regularly. It has all the comforts you could need and really did not feel like I was not in my own home. The upstairs primary bedroom was large, comfortable and with an amazing view and its bathroom was like having a spa day every morning. Don’t hesitate to book this property for your next family vacation, you will not be disappointed.

This property was beautiful, charming, and spaciously comfortable from the start to finish. Both inside and out or lovely. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. There were so many options for great times indoors and outside. Beautiful water views, and every vacation item imaginable was at our fingertips. We loved this property.

Our family of adults needed a late winter retreat and couldn't have chosen a better place than Stella's Cove. It was a lovely home with wonderful views of the bay from every window, the kitchen is stocked with all the things we needed for family dinners and baking great desserts, and the dining table was perfect for playing dominos. When we did venture out there we found a couple of great bookstores and other shops that were open during the winter. Cape Henlopen State Park had interesting history and great views. We saw a couple of orca whales while crossing the Delaware Bay on the Cape May Lewes Ferry, and no crowds at some wonderful seafood restaurants. We have memories to treasure from this week!

We loved our stay in this wonderful, spacious bay front home, which has everything you would want or need and more! The home is well maintained, clean, & comfortable, with awesome water views from almost every room. The host Lisa is very helpful and easy to communicate with. We love that it is pet friendly and just a short walk to the beach. Easy access to Bethany and Ocean City. We highly recommend Stella’s Cove and hope to come back again!
