3 Blocks to beach. 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms - family spaces, kitchen & porches

Our home is a classic beach house just a short walk (3 blocks, 7 minutes) to the beach and boardwalk and near the trolley stop. Oakwood Street is a wide, open and private street; our lot is large, open parking (5+vehicles/grass is OK). Guests enjoy the expansive front porch and huge backyard deck. They tell us it feels like a home away from home.

We bought the home from the ex-mayor of Bethany who designed and built the home in the 1980's. We remodeled and expanded the house in 2019... It is known as "the cedar house".

Our house is ideal for family a summer beach vacation and non-summer get-away. Minimum age to rent is 25...this is a family home and family beach town. Please no senior week requests.

Our home is right near the beach and town yet still has a private, uncrowded atmosphere that makes for a wonderfully relaxing vacation.

Sheets and towels are not provided.

Welcome!

Spacious & Welcoming

Large, updated and well stocked home that provides everything you need for a week at the beach. We especially liked the gigantic family room with the pocket doors that kept noise levels down and young children's toys out of the way.

Family beach trip

The house was HUGE and recently remodeled, clean and well-stocked. Lots of space for two families with four young kids. The owner was easily reachable via the VRBO app, but would have been nice to be able to reach the property manager quickly by cell phone/text. We would definitely stay here again!

Great house

In an area that is being overrun with huge houses it's harder and harder to find a good house that is still affordable for 2 families but also functional. The amenities on hand were great and the place was very clean.

Bethany Beach Yearly Trip

We truly enjoyed our trip to Bethany this year. The house was close to the beach and town. It was spacious and very comfortable. We were a party of 7, I would recommend the "cedar house" for any family vacation.

Beautiful, well-appointed home!

Multi-generation beach trip and the house met all our needs. It is updated and well equipped. The beach is a .4 mile walk but the resident parking tag allowed us to have one vehicle take all the “stuff” and park very close to beach access. We are an active family that didn’t mind the walk. We had a great week!

Great house, great stay!

We had a great stay at this lovely home! Gail was incredibly easy to communicate with and very responsive. We had an issue with the AC and she sent someone over right away and had it fixed quickly. The home is lovely, and though we wished it was just a tiny bit closer to the beach, the walk was manageable and the distance to the town center was also great. Beautiful and well-stocked home!

3 blocks from the beautiful beach

The house was a perfect layout for our family with bunk beds and twin beds for the children and king or queen for the adults. Plenty of room in the open kitchen-dining table and sitting area with another large room for tv, sitting area and another table. Although it was very warm outside the front porch was an inviting place to sit. The house was wonderfully cooled by central air conditioning. Gail responded quickly to any correspondence both before and during our stay. The entry process was very simple. Definitely recommend this home!

Beautiful well-appointed house in Bethany

From the beginning, the house was well appointed and had more than everything we needed to have a wonderful time at the beach - beach chairs, bikes, beach toys. The owner was very responsive and provided very good details about check-in, etc. The only thing I will say is that we were 3 families so it would have been nice to have a bathroom in both of the king bed rooms.

Beautiful week at Bethany Beach!

We absolutely loved staying at Gail’s beautiful house. It has the perfect amount of bedrooms and bathrooms so all 9 of us were very comfortable. The living space also offered amble room to hang out and eat together. The house itself is very updated with a great screened in porch in the front. The only negative (there was one!) was that the house is on a corner and the Main Street can be pretty noisy in the morning. The walk to the beach took us about 7-10 minutes or so each way but they had a cart to easily bring all of our gear. The walk into Bethany’s little downtown was also very pleasant and quick! When we return to Bethany Beach we would definitely stay here again!
