This was our first trip to Delaware Beaches and the first trip away with all the kids and grandchildren. The description of the property is accurate. The location was lovely. We liked not being in Rehobeth or Dewey. There was ample room for all 13 of us. The kitchen is very well stocked. The villa is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Having access to tons of beach chairs, toys, carts etc. was terrific.Kimberly was amazing! Extremely attentive and very responsive. She went above and beyond when my daughter in law mistakenly thought there was a pack and play crib listed in the description. I had texted Kimberly to inquire not knowing and even though it was not listed she had a brand new one sent to the villa! It was lifesaver. She stayed in touch and it was evident that she truly wants her guests to be happy and enjoy their stay. Unfortunately our trip coincided with a hurricane so we only had a couple beach days. Luckily there is enough to do in the area on rainy days. Crossing the road to the beach was not that bad. The beach was perfect. Quiet and ideal for the grandkids. We loved that there was a pool too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful property but no real view

The property is beautiful. It is 4 stories so be prepared for lots of stairs. The kitchen and dining room are on the fourth floor and bbq is on ground floor so if you plan to bbq and eat inside be prepared.There is really not much of a view and no ocean breeze. The beach is across a busy four lane highway. It was no problem to cross but the decks on that side of the house were very noisy from traffic. The other side of the house looks over the parking lot with a partial view of the bay. See photos for views.The host was very responsive and informwd us when the property was available early for checkin. It is spacious, beautifully appointed and clean.

Fantastic Beach Vacation Home

The property was delivered as advertised. Kim was an excellent host. Kim communicated very frequently and was extremely responsive to any questions or inquiries that we had. It was extremely convenient having the beach chairs and umbrellas on property and the pool was a welcome addition to the property with the little kids. I only knocked down one star on location as you have to cross a 4 line highway to get to the beach which was stressful at times with the children. This is by no means the fault of the owner but there is no crosswalk which feels warranted given the speed cars tend to be traveling at.

Private, Peaceful Community

If you want a small beach town with shops and good food minutes away, but need your privacy and quietness with family and friends…choose this rental. Know the highway needs to be carefully crossed with the family, but you can always drive 1/4 mile away to the state park beach with fisherman. Clean, extra large townhome for all your family and friends to hang on the top floor or enjoy alone time on the balconies. The pool is clean and great for kids. The views and sunsets mean many pics. Make the reservation now, or others will.

Fun Family Vacation

Our family had a great time away from the Midwest to experience the ocean and beach while in DC for our daughter's special occasion. Kimberly's communication was as fantastic as our stay! Easy walk to the beach or bay with the chairs and umbrellas and cart we were allowed to use. Condo was clean and decor was very nice! We rented sheets and towels from Sheets at the Beach and they were fantastic too! Our grandson ( and family) didn't want to leave!!! Fun memories were made!

Family Beach Vacation

We booked this home for a family beach trip the week after Labor Day. We had a wonderful time. The beach across the street from this home is beautiful and the home is equipped with everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach. The home was comfortable for our 5 adults and 1 child, but there are a few things that were not ideal about this home/location. Be prepared for the amount of steps in the home. Crossing the highway to get to the beach is also tricky especially since there is no crosswalk. Additionally, because you are so close to Highway 1, walking anywhere from the home feels unsafe, particularly for the older and younger members of our family. The road noise you hear in the home is very loud. We were also disappointed that the pool was closed after Labor Day as one of the reasons we booked this home was the pool.

Terrific place. Spacious, clean and close by to Rehoboth or Bethany. Owner is super communicative and friendly. As others have noted, the complex is off route 1 so there is a bit of noise and crossing the street to the large and quiet beach does take a bit of patience, but these were not deal breakers by any means.

My kids, their spouses and my 4 grandkids had a wonderful say. Plenty of room and a lot of space to make this vacation one of our best. We enjoyed views of the bay and the easy access to the beach right across the street. The grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the dock where we caught enough crab for all of us. Kimmie responded quickly to anny questions we had and the home came with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!!

Good overall, great communication with owner who's very responsive. I wish they had told us that we needed to bring sheets and towels earlier. And the stairs can be a problem for us older people.

Wonderful Vacation Home!

We really enjoyed our vacation at this rental home! We travelled with 3 children (ages 1, 6 and 7) and 6 adults (2 over 70). The home was spacious, very clean and well stocked. Beautiful views (especially of the bay) as there are balconies off of every room/level. Short driving distance to Rehoboth and Bethany Brach boardwalks which were a lot of fun for the kids. The beach was fairly clean, but note that it is near a fishing beach so there was some fishing gear left behind. The beach during the weekend was pretty crowded with the fisherman, but quiet during the week. The distance to the beach isn’t far, but you do have to cross a 4 lane highway to get there which was a bit challenging for the younger children and the older adults. There are a lot of the levels to the home but the majority of our party didn’t have any trouble because there are a lot of landings in between each level. Kimberly was very communicative and provided any details I needed ahead of time. Overall, I would recommend this property if you are looking for a rental for a larger group and aren’t needing to be directly on the beach!

Wonderful, clean and SPACIOUS rental. We had 4 tween/teens and 4 adults. Dining table comfortably sat all 8 of us. Also, we could all fit comfortably in the living room for movie night, etc. Also, fully stocked with beach chairs, sand toys, kayak, life jackets, etc. They really thought of everything!!!! This was our first time staying in Bethany beach and the beach across from the rental (though you have to cross a 4 lane highway to get to it) wasn’t overcrowded and the waves were awesome!! Also, we were ok with it but just for other renters to know there are no lifeguards on this section of the beach. Overall, awesome place and beach!

Family Get Away

We had 9 adults and 2 children (under the age of three) for a week long family vacation. The beach was an easy walk from the complex, even for the 2 year old. The host had plenty of chairs, toys and carts making for an enjoyable day at the beach. The multiple decks were nice and an added bonus for the various adults who had to do some “work” while on vacation. We enjoyed drinks at Starboard and dinner at Harpoon Hanna’s, Bethany Blues, and Matt’s Fish Camp. Kimberly was a very attentive and responsive host.
