Welcome to the beautiful shores of Middlesex Beach, the quintessential spot for relaxation and the perfect place for your next vacation! You'll be just a mile and a half from Bethany Beach Boardwalk, home to some of Delaware's most incredible attractions! Go on a shopping spree on the boardwalk for some adorable knickknacks to bring home, then feast at one of the delicious dine-in restaurants. You'll be just three blocks from the beach, so set up on the shores and relax as you feel the soothing ocean breeze. Afterward, wash the sand off in the large outdoor shower. Treat your family to ice cream at the nearby parlor, or rent a bike and ride across the beautiful coastline.
After you've soaked up enough sun, head back to your home away from home and be welcomed in with open arms by this stunning Middlesex Beach vacation rental. At this private beach community home, you'll be glad to know there are no large crowds or major noise, solidifying its spot as the softest and most beautiful beach in the area. From the ivory interior decor to the gorgeous overall aesthetic, you'll be able to find some much-needed peace. Throw some patties onto the grill and enjoy a sunny day out while you cook up a couple of classic burgers for everyone. Head inside and lie on the comfortable blue couches in the spacious living area for a quick nap. Around sunset, step out onto the massive deck on the private wooded lot and kick it back with a cold drink in hand while you enjoy the beautiful view.
Also included in this stay is a shed with boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys, and a cornhole board.

Great Location, Clean, and Amazing Neighborhood
House was very clean and the communication from before check-in through check-out was exceptional! I would highly recommend this house for a summer rental - private beach, quiet neighborhood and close to everything!

Vacasa is Terrible
The toilet broke (happens) but dealing with Vacase (the property mangers) was a nightmare. Took all day to get a simple fix. We asked for a late checkout as compensation. No answer for two days. So we left at the specified time. An hour later they called to give us the late checkout. Thanks for nothing. When I asked for other compensation they didn't respond for days. Finally gave me a $25 credit that didn't even begin to cover the hassle of working with them. Never ever use Vacasa.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed this house for our weekend visit to the beach. The house was clean and had plenty of space for our group. It was also convenient to many restaurants and not too far from the beach!
