We thought it was 2 levels but it turns out it was only 1 which we actually liked a lot better. very clean & appreciated all the stuff in the kitchen for us to use :)

I have been renting vacation properties for over 20 years and I can honestly say this was probably our best over all experience. The house was immaculate and very well kept. They had extra accommodations for young children that really just put the icing on the cake and helped me relax. Peaceful neighborhood, nice people & a beautiful community pool. Lovely fenced in yard and nice screened in porch to relax and drink my coffee. The host was super accommodating and responsive. We will definitely be back!

Great Place! Great Host!

This house is very well appointed with EVERYTHING you need for a stay by the beach. You need to bring NOTHING with you except for the cocktail mixers (there is a blender for your margaritas)! The beds are clean with lots of extra linens/blankets. There are beach chairs and towels. Rooms are spacious and the fenced backyard and screened porch are great. The club house has a marvelous pool for lounging and a very good exercise equipment room/gym. The community is clean and people are friendly. The host was quick to respond to my questions. I highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed our week at Summer Knights. The house was immaculately clean! Very important to me as I usually feel the need to clean if it looks dirty, but not this house.. it was sparkling clean!! Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Comfortable couch and beds. Our children age 3 and 5 loved the toys, especially the tent and camping toys, Legos, magnetic board, and bubbles. There were also some art supplies, coloring books, card games like memory and go fish. We appreciated the large sturdy folding wagon and sand toys for the beach. Didn’t like the camping chairs in a bag that were there, as we prefer actual beach chairs. Bethany beach is beautiful and kid friendly. Loved our time here and would stay again. The only thing we were disappointed about was that the pool was not open to renters after Labor Day. This listing says in the photos that the pool is open till September 15. We stayed Aug.30 -Sept. 8. We had specifically picked a home with a pool so were very disappointed we could only use it 1 day out of our 8 day vacation! Otherwise everything else was great!

Bad and good

The house wasn't ready at check-in time and we had to drive around for an hour with groceries melting in our car. When we finally got in, after 5pm the first Saturday, the kitchen still wasn't clean and we had to finish their laundry. The garage smelled so bad we had to hose out the trash can on Monday after they picked up the garbage. We found the host less than adequately responsive, that is, he usually took hours to days to respond to my questions. He texted me after our stay asking me to post only good comments and let him know privately of complaints, which is not how VRBO works and felt dishonest. However, the house was beautiful, the kitchen stocked with good cookware and we enjoyed it otherwise. The neighborhood, the clubhouse and pool were also very pleasant and kept up.
