Wonder experience great communication from host. Looking forward to coming back next year. Views are breathtaking!!!

The house is very new and clean. The layout is perfect for a family vacation. The kitchen is large and has everything you need. All of the beds are comfortable and have bathrooms off of them, which is nice for parents of toddlers. The pool is FANTASTIC. We spent so much time in the pool and loved that it's not chlorine. The location is great and it's wonderful that you have access to the salt pond and use of their kayaks. Can't wait to return!

We stayed a whole week in August. The house was spacious, clean, comfortable. It’s a great beach house. Pros: 1. The owners are great- very friendly and non-intrusive. They do stay on the property but you don’t really interact that much. This is the first time I had to do that so it was a little weird. The welcome gift is nice touch. 2. Great location- close to all the beaches and restaurants and boardwalk. 3. Kitchen is well-stocked 4. Heated pool- do it! Cons: 1. Mosquitoes! I understand that Mother Nature is supreme and the area is very woodsy but I don’t think it’s ok to be swarmed by mosquitoes just trying to open the front door. The owners should spray the area. I haven’t been bitten like that since I visited Haiti. 2. Members of my party wished there was cable tv in the rooms. The one tv with cable was not user friendly as it was. These were members of the boomer generation who don’t easily reach for iPads. Overall- great stay

As always, our stay at the Salt Pond didn’t disappoint. House was clean and perfect proximity to beach and downtown with the added amenity of a private pool (comes in handy with toddlers).

Our family is very familiar with other Delaware beach towns but the Bethany beach is now high up in our beach rankings especially the end away from the commercial area and that you hit first in the short drive or bike ride from the house. That area had easy street parking (paying). The house pool was a big success too and the house itself was very comfortable and spacious (plus lots of bathrooms) for our party of 12 adults and young adults. We mostly ate at home and found the best supermarket (for produce at least) not to be the closest (Hocker's a mile away) but the GIant Supermarket a 7 minute drive. Mike had been very helpful in our planning before our stay but only one of us saw him during the week (while putting out the trash) so really having the owners onsite was not an issue at all in case people are wondering!

Mike was a wonderful host ... he delivered on all the promises he made for our stay. the house is great .. lots of good space. The pool was fantastic for the kids - Mike help ensure the pool temperature was perfect for the younger kids. A great location - central to all activities. I strongly recommend this property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation. Very nice welcoming bucket of goodies (local wine, snacks) and house information upon arrival. The house more than met our needs! Modern, comfortably decorated, and very clean. Excellent, timely communication prior to arriving and during our stay. The property is even better than the pictures. Entrance and parking were easy. On the third floor, plenty of adequately sized bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms for our adult kids/significant others. Everyone said their beds were comfortable. Loved the small lounge room on the same level as bedrooms. Lots of decks (I think I counted at least three). Washer/Dryer conveniently located. The second floor had a spacious living room/dining table/large kitchen for our large family. The dining room table easily accommodated our family game nights for all to sit comfortably. During the day we were either at the private pool (it is worth it to pay for the pool to be heated), walked to the Salt Pond, or drove a short drive to the Delaware Seashore State Park South - $10 per car, lots of parking, umbrella/chair rentals available (not expensive) or you can bring your own. The private pool is always a primary priority for our family when selecting a vacation property. It was clean and had plenty of umbrellas, chairs, and even some pool toys. We have used VRBO annually for many years. This was the BEST stocked kitchen. Most anything you could need was available to include cooking, banking pans, spices, dishes, glasses, utensils, flatware, etc. Items were in good condition and honestly seemed brand new. Lots of cupboards for the food we brought. Location is perfect on a private lane (so privacy and no traffic). Short drives to groceries, restaurants, Bethany Boardwalk, Rehoboth Boardwalk, and the beach - really very convenient. House air conditioning was great - we have stayed in houses that the a/c could not cool the house adequately - every one was able to sleep comfortably! No issues with owner living on property - we only knew they were there because their cars were there occasionally. They were so gracious to offer use of their kayaks and paddle boards to use in the Salt Pond. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed. Neighbors are friendly too! They gave us great tips for best places to go where the "locals" go. We will definitely come back again. Thank you Mike and Abigail! Suggestions - perhaps add a few towel racks and toilet paper holders in the bathrooms.

The beach house was amazing! Clean, roomy and well laidout. It had everything we needed. From the community dock (lots of little and big ones crabbing) to the spacious swimming pool, everyone had something to do for the mornings or afternoons we did not go to the beach. Bike trails are close and the house is situated on a private road with little traffic. Hockers (Full) Market was less than a mile away! Talk about convenient! The Kitchen was well-equipped and the multiple decks were enjoyed by all. Mike C., the owner, was delightful to deal with throughout the entire process. Great beach getaway! Enjoy! The Prince Family

Large rental home with the 5 bedrooms. We had more than enough room for my wife and me with our children and their families. We had a few cooler days during our stay, and the heated pool option was great. Thank you for sharing your vacation home.

We had one of our best family vacations ever. Lots of space for everyone to stretch out, play games during bad weather or watch a movie. The kids loved the pool and how close we were to the beach and our favorite restaurants. Would stay here again if available.

Had a great time, nice location

Our group of 11 really enjoyed our week in Bethany Beach. The house was clean and well-equipped and plenty big for everyone to spread out. We used Gale Force linen delivery which was convenient. We had hot weather and the A/C worked great. The pool area was perfect for family swimming and lounging. There are many pool noodles and inflatable tubes to use. The owners are very nice and responsive. The location was very convenient, with grocery and liquor stores just down the road, and Bethany Beach boardwalk a mile away. We liked the quiet setting and didn’t mind driving to attractions. Recommend Towers Beach which is a few miles north if you are looking for a less crowded beach (but still with lifeguards, bathrooms, and concession stand). We were very happy and would definitely stay here again!

This was our second summer spending a week on SPR and was even better than last. Close to the beach, lovely pool, clean/spacious rooms and lots of little extras like a welcome gift basket and some basic spices, cleaning products, etc. already in the house. Thanks and see you again next year!

Our overall experience was great. The house was clean and the location was very convenient for driving a short distance to everything. The pool was amazing. They could make some improvements that would make this a 5 star experience. The kitchen was not fully equipped to handle a large family. Pots and pans and utensils were sparse. There were also no grill tools. The bathrooms didn’t have hooks or towel racks. If some of these small items were fixed this house would be perfect.

Clean, uncluttered, unfussy, light-filled, restful setting. Lots of windows and balconies. Picturesque Salt Sea Pond is just steps away and we were always alone when we visited it. There’s also a trail and golf course within walking distance. It rained all day one day and we happily spent it indoors. We were two couples and a 9-year old boy, so we had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to choose from. The house could easily accommodate another couple and several children. We had six family guests for dinner one night and there was plenty of seating between the kitchen bar, dining room, and dining room balcony. Our grandson and his cousins loved the pool. The home is a new build, apparently designed to accommodate guests and has pretty much everything you need (though more towel bars would not be amiss).

Great property for my 2 young kids and extended family, very spacious and close to beaches/town. Would definitely come back.

We had a great family vacation in this beautiful home. The owners are wonderful hosts and very responsive to any questions. We loved the house, which is tucked away on a quiet street in Bethany with lots of trees., decks and a views of the salt pond. The location is outstanding: close to the beach, the boardwalk, the inlet, the bike trail and Hocker’s grocery store. The pool is fantastic. We were sorry to leave and hope to return again!

Two families (4 adults, 4 kids ages 6 to 9) stayed here and it was perfect. There were more beds than we needed, and the living areas and decks we're spacious so we never felt crowded. The pool was perfect for us and the kids. The deep end has two benches. There was one float and a few toys. The kitchen has the basics -- although the cookie sheet is small and there's no cooling rack. (Not a necessity!! The kids got addicted to break-and-bake cookies, so we made a ton!) Bring Tupperware for leftovers and taking snacks to the pool and beach. The only thing that was lacking was places to hang up wet towels and swim suits! I wish each closet door had hooks, and more hooks in bathrooms, or even the old clotheslines in the bathrooms like hotels use to have. But it's not a deal breaker! We ran the washer/dryer constantly, so thank goodness they were there!! I'm glad I brought hand soap and hand towels. Thank you to whomever left a few dishwasher pods -- we left a few along with trash bags and paper towels. Seems like that's what happens -- people leave a few leftovers, but you'll probably need to buy a few staples yourself. The Hokee's grocery is great, and a Giant us close by, too. Owner was super SUPER responsive! Visiting in July 2021, no one -- and I mean NO ONE -- was wearing masks or keeping space in stores. That kept us at home -- be safe, everyone.

We had a family of 11 which included a teenager, 5 year old and a one year old. Very spacious, enough room for everyone! The kids loved going to the dock to crab in the evenings. About a 5 min drive to the beach. Pool is awesome! Even though the owners do live on site, they give you your privacy and you really don’t even know they are there. Will definitely come back!

This was our family’s first time to Delaware and Mike helped make this experience perfect! We did not feel like we lacked anything during our stay. In fact we were impressed by how much was provided to us by our hosts! The property is even more beautiful in person and has everything you need for guests of all ages. Our small children were never bored as there were board games, a private pool and plenty of movies to watch. With each of our requests Mike was accommodating and was responsive and patient in answering our questions. Check in and check out were seamless due to the detailed information Mike provided to us beforehand. Everyone in our family agreed that we would love to be back next summer!
