Jo-Anne D., Westchester Co., NY

Liked: Cleanliness
We absolutely loved our stay at 257 October Glory. The home was exactly as described, well-appointed, immaculate, and family-friendly. We loved sitting on the front porch as well as the lovely screened-in back porch and deck. The beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of room to spread out. Our grandchildren, ages 3 and 6, enjoyed the house, the games, and the beach toys provided. Our little dog also enjoyed the screened-in porch and people watching on the front porch. The BBQ was very convenient, and the kitchen was in perfect working order. Parking was easy. Highly recommend for a great vacation.

Family week at the beach

We had a wonderful stay at the property! The home and neighborhood were beautiful. It was tucked away in a quiet spot yet so easy to access the beach and Bethany shops and restaurants. We brought our dog for the first time on vacation and it was great. We hope to come back next year.

Wonderful place for families to stay

This property was clean, well maintained and quiet. We had plenty of room for 4 adults and our 2 teenagers. The kitchen was also adequately equipped to fix meals for our family. The location was fabulous with a convenient shuttle to downtown Bethany Beach.
