Spacious Family Home: Walk to Beach, Shops & Food!

Reviews

• Nice house but

  3/5

  The house is cozy, in a quiet cul-de-sac, and a short walk to the beach. We had an excellent time. My downgrades are because the bed types didn't match the listing (we took the wrong sheets), and the kitchen was not stocked well (no oven mitts, no dry measuring cups, only 2 of 4 measuring spoons, the largest pan was 9" (medium), and not much cookware)

• Great home for Family beach week

  5/5

  We had a great time at this house. Great open floor plan - lots of room for gathering; We loved the screened in porch in the back - great to relax and read, and have dinner in the sea breezes. Two bedrooms downstairs ... two more upstairs. Don't be put off by being "across the highway." It's very easy to cross in crosswalk - cars stop. Home is on a very quiet street. And it's literally a 3 BLOCK walk to the beach - we did it every day with umbrella and beach bags. It's about a 5 block walk to downtown stores/Kohr Bros etc. Great house and we look forward to coming back next year!

• Great home for family beach week!!!

  5/5

  This was a great home for our family's annual Bethany Beach getaway.

  Open floor plan downstairs with large gathering area.

  There's a really nice screened porch in the back with lounge chairs and table. We ate most dinners there in the evening.

  Separate TV room is nice if some want to watch TV and others don't.

  There are 2 bedrooms downstairs - but only a half bath, so no showering downstairs.

  There are 2 bedrooms upstairs. - each with a full baths.

  Also there's an outdoor shower around back off the porch.

  If you don't know Bethany well, you may be put off by being across the highway from the beach, but DON"T BE. It's really not an issue at all. There's a walkway just off 3rd street - and cars stop to allow people to cross.

  It's a 3 block walk from the house to the beach. Straight shot - no turns. We walked it with umbrella and beach bag every day with kids. Perfect!

  It's 5 block walk to downtown stores, restaurants, Kohr Bros, etc.

  The house is on a small one block street with a cul-de-sac... it's very quiet (aside from the random fire truck)

  We had a great time and will look to rent again next year!

  Thanks for a great week!!

• Great house, bad management

  4/5

  This house was ultimately lovely. I would give the house, location, etc. a 5-star review and was the reason I did not leave a low-star overall review, for the sake of the host. We enjoyed the screened-in porch, loved having the outdoor shower, and the set up of the house was perfect for our needs. And, the walk to the beach was short and easy.However, we have had significant difficulty dealing with the management. Upon arrival, the house was not cleaned by our check-in time. We spent a couple hours of the afternoon back and forth between the house and activities hoping to be able to check-in. We were continually told the cleaning crew was on their way, but they did not show up until we had sat there at the house waiting for more than an hour (which was 2.5 hours after check-in). We were unable to get into the cleaned home until after 7pm, which was not ideal when having young children. At that point, we realized that the blankets on the bed had not been cleaned and had fresh stains on them and had to wash them ourselves. This would not have been quite as big of a deal if we were finding out at the appropriate check-in time versus so late in the evening. We were promised a refund on the cleaning fee. Ironically, on the day of our check-out, the cleaning crew arrived more than an hour early before the time we were supposed to be out of the house. It is now nearly two months after our vacation, and I am STILL trying to get the promised refund from the management company.So, while the house was great, the management of it sure has been quite the unfortunate hassle.
