Great stay

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.

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.

Very nice, clean house!

Everything about this house was very nice. Lots of space for the family and everything you could need during your stay - especially the beach toys, cart and chairs! Only difficulty was the amount of steps for older parents and crossing the highway with the little ones but outside of that highly recommend this home! Close distance to Bethany and Rehobeth yet nice private beach to avoid the crowds. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Best time ever!

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!!

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!

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. But house is very nice, comfortable and literally across from beach access. The littles ones enjoyed the pool too

Beautiful Retreat

My family and I had a wonderful time at Shangri-la. The house is beautifully decorated and the views were great. We enjoyed having the living space on a separate floor from the bedrooms. We definitely got our exercise in with the stairs! LOL! Kimberly was great to work with and she even put the crab pots out for use prior to our arrival. I would absolutely recommend stay here. Thank you, Kimberly for providing your home to making a very memorable family vacation!

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.

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.

Wonderful house

Exceptionally clean and nicely decorated property. The house was tastefully updated and spacious. We really enjoyed the views and light. Kim provided everything necessary to enjoy the beach and useful and clear instructions. One note- the street to cross for the beach is very busy and was a bit stressful with small children. The kids were fine (and actually seemed to like the adventure) but I wanted to provide that context. We found it to be a very minor drawback.

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.

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!

Great place!

Great vacation! The home was very clean and the setup really made it easy for us to settle into like a second home. Nice cookware and other items to use throughout the home. The room layout was perfect for our family. Great location and easy access to the beach just over coastal highway. The home included many beach chairs, an umbrella and wagons that were all great quality and in good condition so we did not have to pack any for the trip. The community pool was nice and quiet for a little afternoon break. The owner was very responsive to any questions that I had and even sent a list of things to do in the area. At the home there was a very organized book of restaurants and other things to do in the area - so helpful! Yes it is close to coastal highway so you can hear cars more on the lower levels on that side but we expected it and it did not bother us. Look forward to returning next year!
