Quaint and loved beach house. WALK TO BEACH! Note: Only FULL week July rentals
About this house rental
LOCATION: Located at 128 Evergreen Road (the road that leads to the South Bethany Town Hall). Joan's Ark is a quaint, affordable family beach house. It is was our mother's retirement home with the purpose of gathering her children and grandchildren together. It holds many dear memories of her for all of us. Please Note that this is a HOME. It is not owned by an investment or management company. It is a simple, but well-equipped home and maintains the essence of our mother. It is perfect for families and friends wanting to get away and enjoy the beach in a homey environment. It is located in Cat Hill in South Bethany and close to Bethany, Dewey Beach, Fenwick Island, and Ocean City. It is a little over a 5-minute walk to a recently expanded beach and provides the following for a perfect getaway: · Short walk to beach · A well-equipped kitchen, perfect for communal meals · A partial wraparound deck with a meal table and grill · 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a bright, comfortable living area · An outdoor shower · Located on the bay side, it provides easy access to view a network of canals and bird life to view on morning and evening strolls; one can also enjoy crabbing and fishing from the canals as well as can rent stand up paddle (SUP) boards, kayaks or Hobie Cats nearby. · Plenty of parking · An affordable rental fee that is lower than comparable rental homes that are within walking distance of the beach · Personal homey feel (this is not just a rental house) · WIFI · Near a walking and bike path · A short drive to a surfing beach, and several state seashore parks · Short drive to the shopping outlets in Rehobeth (no sales tax!) · Located in South Bethany, one of the “Quiet Resorts” · On a quiet night in the Quiet Resort, you can hear the ocean from our deck CHECK THE CALENDAR FOR AVAILABILITY (Must have a renter at least 22 years or older) During the high season we only do weekly rentals, but ask!

We loved the open feel of the kitchen. We could move around without bumping into each other and there is enough space to store groceries. The living room also has a welcoming vibe and very comfortable furniture. Bedrooms are spacious, beds comfy, slept soundly!!😴 We enjoyed our stay immensely!!

We had a great stay at this property. It was very close to the beach and not super crowded which was really nice. The house itself had all the accommodations we needed. Our kids loved the big swing under the porch. Communication with the owner was great. We will definitely consider staying here again!

Overall we had a nice stay. You can tell the house is a well loved family beach home.
Pros:
-The location is great with a short walk to the beach.
-Price is really great for the area with most places being way more expensive in South Bethany
-Well appointed kitchen with everything you could need for cooking including oil and spices
-house was clean
-Beds were comfortable
-Kids loved the swing under the house
Cons:
-Only main complaint is that the house has a very damp feel. Which also I think leads to a bit of a dingy smell to the house. A dehumidifier would likely help a ton.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House is exactly as described in the listing...you can't ask for anything more than that. Great value compared to the other rental options in the area. Walk to the beach was easy and South Bethany is a great place for a family. We would definitely rent Sandpiper Pines again.

I am sorry to write a poor review, but with so many high ratings, I think it should be known that this house was very disappointing. Maybe it would work if you are just looking for a place to sleep after a full day at the beach, which you can walk to if you want to cross the highway and lug everything.... but I can't think of any other way of describing it but dingy.
The carpet is old and dirty, the light bulbs are all different shades of orange and yellow, the cleaning supplies are super gross, bbq propane tank empty (which the owners also say you can go fill up yourself -- no thanks), the beach chairs rusty and the umbrella didn't even work. Oh it shakes too, which is super comforting.
I thought that with the description about this being the family's "loved" beach house that it would be cute and well kept-- but as a renter that is not a member of their family -- it was not a good experience.

Bethany Beach Stay
We enjoyed our trip to Bethany Beach. The house was in a great location and we could easily walk to the beach. We enjoyed a peaceful getaway. We notified the owner about a broken beach umbrella and the bottom oven not heating properly. The house was clean and the large eat in kitchen worked out great. My only recommendation is to update the beds as they were not comfortable. The bottom bed in bunk room felt to be like a futon pad, not a mattress.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Pines. The house was nice & the area was quiet. The only one "problem" was the bedrooms have to much light coming in at night. We like a dark room. The queen bed for us bothered our backs we are use to an adjustable bed & "regular" mattress. That bed is a tempurpedic mattress.

"Joans Arc" was super cute and clean on a quiet street walking distance to the beach.
Its like staying at your Aunts house at the shore. Furnature is older but in great condition. Family vibe all around. I would certainly stay there again.

My daughter and I had a lovely week-long stay! The neighborhood was quiet and the house was clean and super comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied and we were able to make many of our meals "at home" instead of having to eat out. Communication with the property owners was terrific- rapid responses to questions and very friendly. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Also, the pictures do not do justice to the comfort and coziness of this home. It is located close to the beach and to several restaurants where the food was awesome! A terrific value and a wonderful stay!

This property is near a neighborhood we have frequented for years so we were familiar with and love the area. The house is older and many things are not updated. It definitely could use a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and washer. There is one queen size bed, a bunk bed with 2 full size parts and another full size bed. It would have been better to have another queen size bed. We had 2 couples and a double bed is pretty small. The house is well equiped with dishes and cookware.

We stayed a week July 2-9. The house was a short walk from the beach nestled I to the woods. So happy to discover that mosquitos were not an issue! The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals to keep things inexpensive. We rented bikes from Fenwick Bikes. The boardwalk is only 1.5 mi away so biking there was popular with the teens. Molly, the property manager was very responsive There were beach chairs in the bin that we were happy to have access to. There is a large stock of DVDs but surprisingly no other games so bring some of your own. Overall, this home is reasonably priced and in a very accessible location to everything the shore has to offer!

We had a great stay at the Sandpiper Pines. Everything was as advertised. Very clean. Nice neighborhood. Easy access to the beach with the parking pass, but also a short walk if you choose. Communication with the owner was excellent. I would definitely recommend staying there, and will be renting again in the future.
