No need to overpack when staying at this property, and the hosts are very responsive to questions. We loved the privacy and view from the back balconies. It really felt like a home away from home. We will definitely return in the future.

This was our 4th year and we continue to be very pleased with this townhouse for our family! Love the location- steps to the beach. Plenty of room for three generations! Nice accommodations- has all we need and clean and comfy! Plan to come back in 2025! Can’t think of a better place.

Loved our trip. The location and neighborhood is ideal for family vacation, short walk to the private beach that doesn’t get too crowded, playground, etc. the house was lovely for a trip with our children and parents. Bathrooms really need a significant upgrade, but were very clean and livable. Otherwise the house is absolutely perfect!

We had a wonderful vacation. The place looked just as advertised. The three levels and three decks allowed for the family to be together yet have privacy as well. The owners are extremely friendly and very easy to reach. Would highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful townhouse! Its just steps to the beach and a short drive to restaurants, the boardwalk and Assateague island. The owner was great and easy to commnicate with. We are hoping to revisit next year!

Our family enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the accommodations inside and out. With 2 decks and a patio there was plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors while on location. Being close to the beach without having to cross streets was necessary since we had young children, so the location was perfect. The younger ones enjoyed the playground and the older ones enjoyed playing pickleball at the adjacent court. Catherine and Dennis were attentive hosts, were very accessible and answered our questions promptly. Overall, a lovely place to stay.

We have stayed in many locations in Tower Shores and the Bethany, DE area. This was by far the smoothest and nicest location for our needs. The house was clean, modern and in an excellent location for maximum beach and fishing time! We loved spending time eating dinners on the deck, and kids could walk to the park and beach with ease. We will certainly stay here again!!

Nice little extras Rooms were clean and taken care of. I suspect it's personally important to the owner that visitors enjoy their stay at their place

We loved our stay at this property. Catherine was wonderful to work with and was very responsive to our needs. The location is ideal for this family of four and we practically ate at Matt's every night. We'll be back for sure....hopefully not during a pandemic.

Arrived on a Saturday for an eight day stay. Had only one day of cloudiness with some rain. Enjoyed seven days of sun, fun, ocean and sea air. Visited fun land and the boardwalk. Played Putt Putt and feasted on crabs. Last night ended with Rainbow sherbet. The property was perfect with just a short walk to the beach. It had all the accommodations you needed. The decor was beachy and super comfortable. Couldn’t ask for more What a great vacation!!!

Awesome beach rental! Catherine was on top of everything I needed to know about her home. I felt well prepared for a first time stay. We had a young one - 20 months - be prepared for stairs. Great location, playground and pickle ball / tennis courts in great proximity; it was a great little playground for the "littles". Bedroom / bathroom on main level with living room and kitchen was nice in not having to climb additional stairs for grandparent(s). Decks on each level enabled greater privacy. Highly recommended!

We are a family of 10. The place is very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again. Catherine aml Dennis were very accommodating. The place could use some repairs Multiple electric were not fictional. Frigerator had a leak which owners put a bucket in to catch water leak which limited space. Furniture and bedding was comfortable. The unit accompanied the 10 of us. The beach was very nice. Parking for 4. Nice beach cart. It was a good week

We couldn’t have asked for a better location. This house is right down a private road from a private beach. The beach was never crowded and we always got a great spot. Bethany beach boardwalk was a quick drive away. The house itself was nice, but dated. It’s not a great house for families with little babies since there are four levels, with one bedroom on each. The lowest level is an efficiency suite, with an electric stove. Luckily the knobs could be easily removed so the kids could t turn it on. The outside table was perfect for group dinners and the tv room was great for relaxing after a Long Beach day.

We had a great stay at this house. The pictures online actually sell it short a bit in my opinion, there are decks off the two Queen bedrooms and off the living room area. There are a few sets of steps that can be challenging for toddlers- we had a 2 year old and on the first day went to Walmart and bought a play yard style gate to block the steps - highly recommend this if you have little ones. The nice thing about multiple floors if you can get some space and it’s helpful at nap time/bedtime for the kids. The outdoor shower was also great for the kids after the beach - it’s a true shower stall where you can fully rinse off versus the usual open hose/sprayer. The kitchen has all you need to make meals etc. we had a beach cart with us but the house also has one with toys and chairs. We did not use it but there is also a small backyard area which is lined by trees so on 2 of the decks you get that view and lots of birds in those trees - a nice sound upgrade from busy ocean city highway noise we were used to. The beach is wonderful, everyone we encounter was friendly. This is a great little neighborhood! Short drive to everything .

The unit was fine but not fantastic. The kitchen was not equipped with pans for baking. The kitchen table was sticky even after washing it so it did not feel like can get it totally clean. The lock/door is tricky and would not easily close so the host came over to help. He was pleasant however this was an inconvenience because even when it closed it was tricky and the kids kept forgetting to ensure it was latched. Overall the place was probably average and we had a great week because the weather was fantastic and the proximity to the beach is great !

Luckily I found this home when I was searching for places for our annual Girls' trip. We are three women and prefer having at least 2 bathrooms so we like condos or homes versus a hotel. Catherine's place was perfect. We each had our own bedroom. The bedroom on the main level has a small bathroom ensuite. Upstairs from the living area are two nice size bedrooms that share a larger bathroom. One bedroom has 2 singles and the other has a queen. The bottom level has a room with a bathroom, couch, tv and a bunk bed. There is also a closet that has chairs, an umbrella for the beach and some boogie boards. There is also a beach cart to help carry things to the beach. The beach is a short walk and no roads to cross which is great. The beach itself is wide and borders the National state park which was great. I really like this area especially during this time with Covid-19 because it was easy to social distance on the beach. The house was well stocked and our new hobby is doing puzzles while drinking wine. :) Catherine had lots of puzzles to choose from. I would definitely rent this home again!

Catherine's home was perfect for our 12th August week in Tower Shores. The room are spacious, many, many decks, backs to the parkland, quick walk onto the sand. The beds were very comfortable and it was so nice to have far fewer steps to the 3rd and 4th floors than any other home we've rented in Tower Shores. Instead of an entire story between the top 2 bedrooms, they are cantilevered and easy to access. The home was clean and have everything we needed and then some. We will be back!
