About this house rental
This fantastic property was recently renovated throughout and is waiting for you to come stay!
" Views were spectacular. Our vacations have not compared since our stay here.''
"Every level of the house gave us fabulous views of the ocean; mesmerizing! We fell asleep listening to the waves crashing!...''
''many ocean views and sensation of really being at the beach every moment of our stay - that was what made it extraordinary...''
-- From our guests
If you vacation at the shore to enjoy the beach, then you've just found the perfect spot in a private, timeless beach home that's been a favorite getaway since the summer of '66....
LOCATION - This northernmost oceanfront home in Bethany Beach literally sits on the sand with the beach at your door and 2800 preserved acres of oceanfront and dunes to the north. Tucked away on one of the most tranquil and scenic spots along the mid-Atlantic with a wide sandy beach and natural, preserved setting, this unique beach home offers the opportunity to truly relax and immerse yourself in the beach experience 24/7 while on vacation.
FIVE PORCHES/DECKS & ENDLESS VIEWS - Beach views, ocean views, Delaware State Seashore views, Indian River Bay views, and views of a WWII coastal defense tower... Watch your family play on the beach just outside, have dinner oceanfront on the screened porch or take in a sunrise over the Atlantic while watching the dolphins (and occasional whale) swim and the fishermen at the State Seashore reel in their first catch of the day - all without leaving your house!
DIRECT OCEANFRONT - You can't get closer than this! Step off your deck and onto the private beach...No dragging chairs, coolers or kids for blocks or even over a dune crossing and no worries about finding a bathroom, packing up for lunch, or what to do with bored kids who want to go back to the house.
IDEAL LAYOUT INCLUDING TWO OCEANFRONT BEDROOMS EACH WITH THEIR OWN PRIVATE DECK - A spiral staircase leads to two oceanfront bedrooms letting you enjoy miles of unobstructed ocean and dune views with the sounds of surf crashing just outside your door. A great layout for families or two couples since each enjoys their own oceanfront room with beachfront deck or porch and separate bathrooms. The third bedroom is ideal for adults or kids with two additional double beds and the third floor loft offers extra living or sleeping space with a queen American Leather sleeper sofa. The queen sleeper/sectional sofa on the first floor provides additional sleeping options if needed.
ACTIVITIES - Beach and Delaware Seashore State Park just outside your door offering swimming, fishing, jogging and biking, kayaking and surfing plus beach volleyball at our oceanfront community court, private tennis courts, large playground, and a private gazebo. Some of the area's best biking and hiking trails and nature centers (Bethany Nature Center, James Farm, Bethany Lifesaving Center). Fantastic seafood restaurant right in the community with a great happy hour and even a walk up window for those nights when you don't feel like cooking! And don't forget to grab a snowcone as the Jeep rolls down Ocean Road in the late afternoon...
OR JUST RELAX - Life truly is a little slower here at the beach. If crowds, beach contests and loud parties are your thing, you'll likely find better choices. If you want to slow down a little, relax and make some great memories, you're in the right place and we look forward to hearing from you.
Beds: 2 kings, 2 fulls/doubles, 2 Queen Sleep Sofas.
Ordinarily, we try to keep the rental periods beginning and ending on Sundays, but exceptions are possible in the shoulder season. Feel free to contact us if you'd like to propose something outside what's posted here.
You can get a full beach day on check-in/check-out dates if you utilize the Delaware State Seashore South Inlet Day Area which is on the ocean 1 mile north of our house and includes a large parking area and facilities including changing rooms, snack bar and a guarded beach (www.destateparks.com/park/delaware-seashore).

Perfect location and lovely property. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t cooperative and three days of our stay were not “beachable” due to high winds and crazy waves!! But you can’t help those things so we ventured out in the rain and wind and still had fun. The first photo shows a four foot ledge carved out of the beach!

Beautiful place, perfect location, the beach is your backyard! We can’t wait to return.

If you are looking for a relatively quiet beach, this property is for you. It’s the last home in Bethany before the state park and literally on a private beach My family loved rolling out of bed right into the sand. The home itself is beautiful and clean. Everything you need for your stay is in the house. We can’t wait to return

My family and I had a perfect stay at this amazing beach house. The house is truly beautiful, serene and is right on the beach. There are amazing ocean views provided by many windows and balconies and the decor is fabulous. Tom was a great host and we are looking forward to coming back. You instantly feel relaxed in this incredible house. The beds were also comfortable, which is important. It was definitely one of the best vacations we have ever had and the kids agree. Thanks, Tom!
