Beautiful, well-equipped resort villa with plenty of room for 8 adults. Immaculately cleaned upon arrival. Great location to all the amenities. We would definitely stay here again.

My family (two children, two grandparents and my husband and I) stayed here in June 2023. The house is beautiful and wonderfully appointed.
The beds were comfortable and having so many bathrooms gave everyone the privacy and space they need. We enjoyed using the grill outback and watching deer frolic in the woods at night. I would highly recommend staying here!

The beautiful house is located in a community which has 2 pools, walking trails, Pickleball, basketball, bocci, putting green, gym,etc. The house was very well stocked with kitchen needs. The house has 2 grills, charcoal and propane. It has everything that we needed. The owner was very attentive and answered my texts almost immediately. All the people we met in the community were very friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Family Dam 2022 Vacation
This was a beautiful home and perfect for our family. The kids all had the upstairs to themselves, but we spent most of our time and the pool and the beaches. Kitchen/dining area were perfect for the family meals, although the dining room chairs are a little high for the older adults, but all in all, it was a wonderful stay! Thank you for sharing your home!

Beach Vacation
This was a beautiful property that looked exactly as advertised. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We all really enjoyed the pool with the lazy river. We also enjoyed the short drive to the Ocean City boardwalk.
5.0
We chose this property for its roominess and community amenities and were not disappointed. Bay Forest was a well maintained community and the house gave us plenty of space to gather as well as plenty of privacy within our bedrooms. (We all slept till 8:00 or later nearly every morning! Unheard of with little ones!) With 3 children age 3 and under, we used both community pools and the playgrounds and headed to the beach a couple times as well. This property is within walking distance to one of the pools and a playground, and the firepit is at the end of the block! We did not use the Shuttle to the beach as we had too much stuff and babies. It's not a long drive, but be prepared for plenty of traffic! Parking near the beach is $2.50 per hour along the streets as well as in some limited space parking lots near access to the beach at some streets. Bill was a great host and helped us resolve a couple issues with quick responses. Highly recommend for a couple families to be able to spread out in 3 upstairs bedrooms and separate living area along with 2 main floor BRs.

We visit the DE beaches every year and have stayed in a different rental property each time. This was by far the nicest property we have stayed in so far. Everything was very clean and extremely well maintained. Decor was beautiful. Although it is a little further from the beach, we did not mind. Would definitely visit this property again!

Perfect Family Vacation
Thank you Bill and Nancy for sharing your beautiful home with us. Every picture shown was exactly how the house was when we arrived.... I appreciate your patience and help as we navigated travel during this Covid-19 crisis. The location of your home was perfect for a quick walk to the pool and the fire pit at the end of the street was perfect for evening s'mores. Despite the covid related restrictions/limitations, we had the opportunity to spend quality time together. We're already talking about our next trip to Bay Forest!

We didn’t want to leave ...
My family had an amazing time at Bay Forest. The home is well equipped and very comfortable for a large group. The amenities are truly wonderful. There is something for everyone of any age! The Bay Forest community and its employees are welcoming and helpful. It was close enough to busy Bethany Beach but far enough to find peace and quiet when you needed it. The owner of the home is responsive; always available to answer any questions. We truly didn’t want to leave. It was one of the best family vacations yet! Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to be back soon.

Perfect vacation!
This home is the perfect mix of beach and resort. Short trip to the beach, walk to the pool, which is so much fun for little ones AND adults! Very private and quiet community, everyone was so pleasant. The home is beautifully decorated and clean, and makes you feel like you are home away from home. The owner is great with communication!

Terrific Stay In Ocean View, DE!
Our family of 7 stayed here the week of 8/6. The house is spacious and well-appointed. There was ample parking for our three cars. The street was quiet and the communication with the owners was terrific. There is a nice lazy river and the community pool and a separate pool for adults. The master suite was incredibly spacious; everything is brand-new here. There is a shuttle that runs on the hour, I believe. We had an 11 year old and my in-laws with us so I didn't take the shuttle, just drove to Bethany Beach, which with traffic took 10-15 minutes. The parking was difficult. The house, while very nice was a little farther from the beach than we would have liked. The community pool also had a tiki bar and grille which was really great. The adult pool only goes to about 3 feet as does the kids pool/lazy river. They had a volleyball net and a basket ball net in the kids pool which was fun. They had ample lounge chairs and everyone was so nice. The only suggestion I would have would be to try and improve the wifi connection. Our cell data was spotty as well. I don't know whether an extender would help but both connections were painfully slow. If you're down there, check out Charlie K's bbq. It is the best!

We have four couples who go somewhere to play golf every year and this year we stayed at this property. The home (and kitchen) was well equipped and we have a number of cooks who could do their jobs at the same time in the large and well-laid-out kitchen. The bar and dining table were great spots to hang out. The bedrooms and baths were spacious, clean and comfortable. Lots of great golf courses nearby and Bethany Beach, with its restaurants, shops and beach was just a short car ride. The pool had not yet opened but the neighborhood was beautifully kept and it would be a great place for both us older folks and for families. Highly recommend it.

Another perfect stay!
This was our second time staying at this property and everything was just as perfect as the first time we stayed last year! The home had everything we needed for a great vacation! The home was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed all of the amenities as well. The kids especially loved the pool and playground! There are a lot of great restaurants within driving distance. We also were close enough to Rehobeth to enjoy the boardwalk. Thank you again to Bill and Nancy for letting us stay in your home- we can't wait to come back!

Amazing vacation rental!
So much to do at the resort and the surrounding beach towns. Bethany Beach is a short drive away or take the free shuttle (parking was not a problem before 10:00). As far as the resort, the pool opens at 11:00 and is great for both kids and adults as there are separate sections if wanted. The villa us spacious and everyone had their own bathroom which was great before going out to dinner. I highly recommend Dining in Rehoboth on either Baltimore or Wilmington Avenues or in Bethany there are several great spots such as Difebo's or Off the Hook.

We totally fell in love with this villa
We had a wonderful vacation at your beautiful home in July. We have already booked our stay for next year. This is a great resort with many amenities. We loved the pool, the gym and the fire pit. The villa was so beautiful and it was kid friendly. The owners were great, the neighbors were nice, the kids loved all the frogs, and we were so happy to have found this place. Thank you for sharing it.

Great Vacation Rental
Our family of 10 (with children and grandchildren) were very comfortable staying at this beautiful villa. There was plenty of room, lots of movies, books and games and a beautiful pool area to enjoy. Being close to the shuttle stop to the beach, and the firepit were also a plus!

For a Great Place to Visit and Re-Visit
My friends and I had a wonderful time at this villa and would stay here again, and would recommend the villa to others. We were close to Bethany Beach but the pool was closer and just as nice. Other fun amenities, including the bar and grill, tennis courts, and exercise room, were within walking distance from the home, and grocery stores and other shops were not far away. The owners have a fantastic place in a quiet neighborhood; the home is well-appointed, the décor is beautiful with many small touches, and there was plenty of room for the eight of us. The owners responded to all our questions and concerns and were available during our stay if we had any additional concerns.
If you are looking for a comfortable, beautiful place that has all the amenities of home, and that is conveniently located near the beach, grocery stores, and quaint shops, then this is the place for you.
