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.

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.

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! - The Weekenders

We had a great stay and enjoyed our time in this beautiful and well kept property. The owner was very responsive to our questions. It’s a great location with access to Bethany Beach.

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!

House was exactly as listed, and there were plentiful kitchen supplies and games. The WiFi cut out for a few minutes at once and the host responded to us within the hour. Very impressed

The home was well maintained and looked exactly how it did online when we showed up. Thuy was very easy to work with as well.

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!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is very spacious and the view of the lake is spectacular. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed easy access to the water, we fished off the dock, and took in beautiful sunsets over the lake in the evening.

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!

This house has a great location. Located on a small lake which connects to a bigger canal system and even bigger lakes allowed us to enjoy kayaking right from the house dock. A deck overlooking the lake provided a relaxing spot to have morning coffee and watch the birds nesting in the trees. We made use of the community tennis courts just down the block and found plenty of paths to bike on. Just a 5 minute ride would get us to the beach/boardwalk to enjoy the day on Bethany Beach. Since there were a bunch of us getting togethr we were looking for a place with plenty of room to gather and play games. This house was great for that with a large living area, big kitchen yet enough bedrooms for everyone to have some privacy when needed. The owner did a very nice job sending information ahead of time and check-in was clear and simple. Any questions/comments were responded to quickly. The house does need a little TLC, though. The furniture on the back deck was torn up, cushions had some mold on them, kitchen floor had cracked tiles with holes.All in all it worked great and we had a fun week.

We have rented other bnb’s before so know the good and bad of what to expect. We are always prepared. Making the reservation was easy. Communicating with the owner was always very responsive. They allowed us to check in early, which is always nice. When we arrived, I did a quick run through and “COVID-19” cleaned the house before the rest arrived. The house was fairly clean already, not spotless but okay. It was exactly as stated on the listing with plenty of space, games and a dock for fishing. I will mention a lot of the furniture outside is worn and broken including the foosball table. In my opinion, its better to not have it than to have it there broken. Overall, our stay was perfect!! Everyone had a great time and it was all in part to this wonderful home and its location. We are already talking about rebooking for next year. Thank you!

This was our first time at Bethany Beach. After several months of stay at home due to the pandemic we really enjoyed the change of scenery. We felt very safe and enjoyed water access from the house on kayaks and paddle boards, beach access, take out from local restaurants, tennis and bike rides. Communication with Thuy was my best experience yet of any rental. My negative is there was a screw up with the cleaning service not cleaning the home before we arrived. I was reimbursed promptly for the cleaning fee plus, but during a pandemic arriving at a dirty home was extremely stressful. There were also problems with the dishwasher and refrigerator not working properly...all normal home stuff but made more challenging during these times. All in all we really relaxed and enjoyed our stay at Bethany!

Really enjoyed our stay! House very nice, and clean, convenient location. Rented kayaks which was great.

Home was really great for our Bethany vacation with friends. It looked just like the pictures and had plenty space for us. The water view from the back deck is beautiful in the morning and the Bethany Trolley out front makes getting to the beach a breeze (be sure to bring your quarters for the ride). The owner had a nice welcome package and was responsive during the booking process. We only had minor issues...kids were a little bummed that the foosball table didn’t work very well and the pots/utensils in the kitchen were functional, but well used. Overall, i’d Recommend this place to others, the location couldn’t be beat!

Though there are houses fairly close to this property, it was quiet, full of natural beauty (birds, salt pond, trees), and offered a lovely place to sit and watch night fall. It accommodated our family very comfortably. We rented kayaks and it was easy to launch them from the new dock. (Saw kayaks under the back deck, and at first felt we had rented in vain - expensive. Then we assumed you didn’t want them used because of liability.). Well laid out house, fine bathrooms, and convenience to beach and stores were all good features. Communication with owners was good. Could use new decking, easier-to-open sliding door to screened porch, better drainage in outdoor shower (and some hooks), fewer appliances and therefore more food storage areas, and new door mats and porch rugs. Overall, we really appreciated the cleanliness and views, and would return.

The lake house was a perfect place for three generation of our family to come to for a family vacation. The house is well equipped, the kitchen with everything you could need for a beach holiday, the living area with games, card, and dvds. The use of residential parking passes and the frequent passing of the trolley made going from the house to beach or town center easy. All in all our family had an excellent beach vacation at the lakeside house, with the added attraction of watching the herons on the lake every evening.

The pictures shown for this homes doesn’t do it justice. The home is more roomy then the pictures shown especially the living room. Some features of course could require update but didn’t bother us. We spend a lot of time in the dock as crabbing and fishing and everyone had something to do at home. Communication with the host was very easy and all the information required was provided in a timely manner. We would love to find a reason to visit and stay here again. Thank you! Vo family
