The house was amazing! Everything was clean, neat and tidy, and exactly as they described it. Helen and Blake are great hosts, and their home is wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed using both of the pools in the development, in fact, that was the highlight of our trip.

Family of 6 adults and 2 children stayed for a week. The home was very spacious and comfortable. Bay Forest is a lovely community with terrific amenities. We used the fitness center, the pools, and walking paths, and the outdoor grill. We had everything we needed. We appreciated having beach items and a bike available in the garage. Grocery and pharmacy within a couple of miles. The owners clearly made an effort to feel that we were in someone’s home. We appreciated the TV streaming service in the living room. The owners were readily available when when questions came up. A very good experience.

This property was everything we expected from the posting. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for cooking, including a crock pot! The property was clean and well maintained. The owners maintained timely communication and addressed all issues. The neighborhood was amazing and has something for everyone. We would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful home to retreat to after the bustle of the boardwalk and beach. The amenities were great too. I would definitely stay again and recommend this vacation home.

Excellent vacation home in Bayforest. The house is very clean, spacious, quiet and exactly as described. The wifi is strong should you have to work and there is ample space to spread out.
The amenities at Bayforest cannot be beat, with the home in walking distance to the pool and gym facilities, and child friendly activities.
The owner is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We have stayed at other properties in the area. Villa Bethany is the best!

Great vacation
My family spent the last full week of August 2021 at this property in Bay Forest Resort. What a great vacation. The condo easily accommodated four adults and two children under the age of 12. So much space! Beds were comfy and there was plenty of room to be together as a family but also to spend quiet time alone. The resort facilities are excellent with two pools (one especially good for kids with water slides and a lazy river), tennis courts, a gym, etc. Bay Forest Resort is a beautiful and well maintained community with quiet streets and slow moving cars. Even the full-time neighbors are nice. The grandchildren got a kick out of watching neighbors in their golf carts driving their dogs around the property.
Helen is a very responsive and responsible property manager/owner. The condo was clean and well stocked. The second morning there we discovered that the blender was not working and informed Helen immediately. She, in turn, got back to us in hours and said that if we needed a blender we could purchase one, send her proof of purchase, and she would reimburse us. And that's what happened. We had the purchase price back in our account the next day. She answered all of our questions promptly and completely. In addition we all loved the garage full of stuff for the beach and recreation and the games for that one rainy afternoon we had.
The condo is less than a 20 minute drive north up Rt. 1 to the wonderful Delaware Seashore State Park. Go early, between 9-10 am, and secure your place of choice on a beach (the one right before the Indian River/Rehobeth Bay Bridge and half way to Dewey Beach) with plentiful lifeguards and full amenities. Virtually every morning was spent on the sand and in the ocean for the six full days we were there. If you qualify for senior citizenship you can purchase a Sr. Annual Pass for $35 and save yourself a few dollars (daily entrance is $10 for cars from out of state).
This was a top notch vacation.

Great Place to stay!
We had a great time at this location. It was close to the swimming pools which my daughter's family enjoyed, especially the lazy river. My wife and I was able to workout at the workout center and we also enjoyed the swimming pools. The grocery stores were very close. I would highly recommend this location especially if you have young kids in your group. The beach was also very close.

The property was perfect for our family group of 7 adults and 2 small children. There was plenty of room for more people but I think the HOA limits this. We couldn't have been more pleased with the space and community. The lazy river was perfect!

Helen (owner) was very pleasant to deal with - she answered all our questions thoroughly & promptly. In fact, the day we arrived we had to call her with a question and she was immediately accessible. Home was spacious & ample for our 7 person group. Bedrooms were nice size and beds fairly comfortable. All rooms had instructions for how to use the TVs and lights /fans - that was useful! Kitchen was wonderfully stocked - everything we needed to cook & prepare daily meals. Although we brought our own, there were nice additions like dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, beach chairs, bikes. It was nice to have even if we didn’t utilize all of it. The community amenities were great. The lazy river pool was super fun for the kids & was never too crowded during our stay. Our kids also used the basketball & tennis courts. Very pleased with the amenities & overall community feel. It was quiet & family - oriented which is what we wanted. We definitely had everything we needed to have an enjoyable vacation and felt safe in the community. Although this property is not close to the beach, we found driving & parking near the boardwalk manageable pretty much any time of day. It was also very convenient to have a Giant grocery close by. The only minor issue I would mention is the WIFI - wasn’t very strong - but that seemed to be an issue everywhere we went in the vicinity. In terms of linens, it could be nice if they were provided because it was a bit cumbersome to bring all that stuff, but I will admit I often prefer my own pillowcases and sheets, but towels would have been good. We had to bring bath & pool towels. Overall great stay & working with Helen was a breeze! Relaxing vacation in well appointed home.

Very good experience with house and complex
House was as advertised, everything in good shape. Back yard opens onto large shared area, not so private but generally very peaceful and nice for eating dinner in the evening. Two different pools to choose from, each with lots of bells and whistles for kids, neither was too busy during the week.
Note: you'll need to be prepared to bring some necessities, like toilet paper and paper towels, and we ended up needing to refill the propane tank for grill.

Lovely Accommodations
The 3 high points of this rental: 1. The home is beautiful, new, and well furnished. The photos are accurate. 2. The water park/swimming pool was fun and enjoyed by all - especially the children. The lazy river supplies pool noodles - inflatables are not allowed except for swim aids on little ones. 3. There are two grocery stores (Giant and Weis) just 3 miles from the home. The 3 low points of this rental: 1. The house is located 5 miles inland in Ocean View, rural DE. This is not a true beach rental. We did not use the shuttle, we did not want to spend time waiting. We drove to the beach. 2. The cell phone reception is a dead zone. We had ATT, Verizon, and Tmobile subscribers and all 3 had no service or one bar intermittently in the entire Bay Forest development. 3. The internet band width in the house was slow, interrupted, and poor. Basically, we lived with poor connectivity for the week.

Very serene and accomodating property
This is our second vacation at this property within 5 years. We loved it the first time and loved it the second time! The house is very accommodating for our growing family! The amenities were very nice and they seem to be bettering the community over time with activities, etc. I would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful Bay Forest home!
We had a wonderful, restful vacation at Villa Belle! The home is warm, welcoming and beautifully appointed. The owner, Helen, was very responsive and prompt in replying to questions. It was a pleasure to work with her! Our extended family of 8 people had plenty of space to enjoy together or separately. The amenities are best in the Bethany area - walking paths, tennis, exercise room and a large pool with the lazy river. We highly recommend Villa Belle for any family looking for 5 star vacation rental!

Perfect!
This bay forest unit is the perfect vacation destination- provided all needed items and so much more! Not one issue to complain about- everything exactly as described in rental description! Pool area above and beyond anything we have had before in other rental properties- enjoyed by three year old and adults as well. Close to beach and shopping. Restaurants in vicinity were all above expectations. Welcomed by owner with contact on day of arrival to make sure all was in order- no issues arose that required us to contact owners for rest of week! Ten out of ten- cannot say enough wonderful things about this rental experience.

Perfect Summer Vacation!
Our stay at "Villa Belle" in the Bay Forrest Community was wonderful. The house was perfect for all seven of us. Spacious and beautiful and the community offered something for everyone. The 15 yr. old enjoyed playing with the Xbox in the loft and riding the bike to explore the community when we were not beaching or at the pool. The 6 yr. old couldn't get enough of the pool (actually we all loved the pool) and his daily water ice which was purchased at the grill. And of course there was a beautiful Bethany Beach, miniature golf, Phillips Crab House in OC and the local Charlie K's delicious pulled pork sandwiches.
Helen, the home owner is easy to contact. Answers your emails quickly should you have any questions and can be contacted by phone.
We had a great family vacation with our children and grandchildren. It is not always easy getting everyone under one roof anymore. Would love to return to the "Villa Belle!"

This fabulous beach house went above and beyond our expectations in every way!
This vacation villa has it all - gorgeous home equipped to the hilt; comfortable beds; plenty of room for multiple families; unbelievable clubhouse, gym, pool(the lazy river was definitely a hit) with food and bar service; close to the beach; close to shopping and fresh seafood; friendly neighbors!
This was the most beautiful beach house I have ever rented - and at a reasonable price. The neighborhood is close to everything but tucked away in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The owners were delightful to work with! Helen always answered my emails promptly and helped me find a good linen rental company. When Helen returned my deposit check, she sent ME a Thank You note!
Don't let this villa pass you by on your next search for a Bethany vacation! My family (including out of towners) want to book again for next year! We really want to just LIVE there!

Cozy, relaxing visit
Helen was a pleasure to work with. Quick to answer questions and great at providing necessary information. Our family was more than happy with the accommodations in the home. Loved the layout as it provided enough privacy but also common areas to spend time together. Bay Shore is a great Bethany Beach community. Highly recommend staying at this property.

Beautiful Villa, Great for Families
This Villa was great and accommodated our family of 8 which included our 2 grand kids. We never felt crowded and it was nice that each couple had their own room and bathroom. The Villa was well maintained and very clean.
The amenities in the home were top notch. The community pool was a highlight. There are grocery stores and restaurants near by. The beach at Bethany was an easy drive from the Villa. Helen and Blake were wonderful to work with. They were quick to respond and answer any questions we had. We loved our stay in the Villa and will be back again in the future.

Wonderful vacation!
We had a great time at Villa Belle Bethany! We were a family of nine, and this property had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our time together. The pool complex was key to our vacation, and entertained us all for hours.
Helen was prompt in answering our questions and concerns, and the unit was very organized for our stay.
One suggestion- a small hand held vaccuum would have been wonderful for picking up the sand out of our cars and on area rugs....
Enjoyed our time at Bay Forest and look forward to returning some day!

Clean, comfortable and spacious!
This property was very clean, well maintained and very comfortable. We had 6 adults and 4 children and we never felt like we were in each others way. We would definitely stay again.
