Beach Week
We enjoyed being very close to the tennis courts and pool. The kids and adults took advantage of both. One of the things that the kids really enjoyed was taking the trolley. The stop was very near so easy to take.

Garage is a plus.
The condo is well outfitted and a short walk to Bethany Beach and shops. A very nice open floor plan with plenty of room to move about. The garage is nice if you have a lot of beach items to take back and forth. We all had our Jeeps, so the garage was perfect for storing the doors and panels while we drove around opened up. The outdoor space is not huge but when you're hanging out at the beach there really isn't a need.

Wouldn’t stay here again
Pros: Bethany Proper is a nice community, and this unit is close the pool which was nice.
Cons: All of the 6 twin beds are horrible! 2 of them upstairs are exceptionally bad. We actually bought an air mattress after the first night because the bed was unbearable. The kitchen had ants when we got there and were there all week. We purchased ant traps to try to help. Would love to be reimbursed for the cost of the air mattress and ant traps we purchased! Wifi was spotty. The pool doesn’t allow children under 3 in the big pool (only the small baby pool). We have been coming to Bethany for 20 years and this has never been a rule at any of the places we have stayed in the past. This was also not advertised on the listing, so we were not aware of this rule until we got there. All in all, I would not stay here again. Also disappointing to see these are similar complaints from past reviews that have not been addressed. (I assumed the mattress situation was resolved after reviews from 3 years ago).

The house was perfect for our family. Having the pool right next-door was great for the little ones. We brought an umbrella stroller for the three-year-old, and were very glad we did. Although the 10 minute walk to the beach is pleasant, and the three-year-old could and did make that walk, it was a lot easier, taking him in the stroller. We also brought our own beach umbrellas and were glad that we did. Parking pass for the side streets was very helpful.

Spacious home, well-stocked kitchen, quiet location
3 full bathrooms were great, well stocked kitchen, nice to have the BBQ grill, location is easy 10 min walk to beach and downtown, lovely skylights in kitchen and upper floor. Our group really enjoyed the house and our time at the beach. Bethany Proper area is a gem, this was our first tiime but we will be back!

Nice place!
We had a great time, the place was clean and the house set up was good. There was a bit of rot on the back porch that should be looked at. The tennis courts are directly behind the unit, so we heard a lot of conversation and ball sounds, however this didn't bother any of us. Master bedroom is superb! The twin beds were minimally comfortable, but not unacceptable. Office staff was friendly and helpful.

Wasn’t happy with the ants in the kitchen. We’ve stayed at Sea Pines Village in the past and never had ants. Mattresses were not the best. We did like the Bethany Proper area.

Very clean, just needs some upgraded electronics, counters and beds. A full king instead of 2 twins pushed together is so uncomfortable for couples. Thank you!

Our time in Bethany Beach
Overall we were very impressed with the house in Bethany Beach- it was well laid out with a wonderful kitchen space. Two major downsides: 1- the beds were horrible- all but 1 twin bed was just plain awful. Everyone was unhappy with their bed! 2- the house deficit was home to a cat, or allowed someone to have a cat as 7/10 of us had terrible allergies as the dander gets in blankets, carpet, furniture. This was very disappointing as we chose a no pet rental for a reason.

Nice location in a quiet neighborhood
The home was really nicely decorated and spacious. Steps away from downtown Bethany so very convenient to restaurants and attractions. Only downside was that the bathrooms weren’t super clean. The housekeepers cut a few corners. I also wish they had basic liquid hand soup in the bathrooms. Every other place we stayed out had that.
Otherwise, perfect! We enjoyed everything.

Great stay at Bethany Beach
We really enjoyed this stay although it was too short! :( But we loved working with Jaymie and Mario at 1st Choice and they made everything super-easy. The property was nicer than we expected so we were super-happy about that. Only downside was the highway we had to cross to get to the beach but because we had the parking pass, we just drove over and parked for free. All in all, it was lovely and we can't wait to go back!

Bethany 2020
The property has some nice upgrades including updated bathrooms. The downstairs living space is small and does not get much natural light. The kitchen is well equipped. The pool is right behind the townhouse which is very convenient. There is virtually no outdoor space for sitting, only a small table. The master bed is two twins pushed together. The beach is about 8 minutes away walking and you do have to cross the busy highway to get there.

Excellent location
Our initial impression of the property was that it was comfortable, spacious but a little tired. The paintwork on the staircase was scuffed and worn. Two of the bedrooms were quite small but adequate. The BBQ was filthy, full of old food - it took us half an hour to get it into a reasonable state where we were happy to cook on it. We were disappointed in the decking area which was quite small - we were hoping to eat outside every evening but there was no room for a table (there was only a small round table and 2 chairs) . As there were 6 adults we had to use the beach chairs squashed onto the decking so that we could all sit together and have a drink.
It was great being able to walk to the beach and having the pool so close (though unfortunately it was only opened halfway through our stay). Once the pool opened it was excellent and uncrowded - we swam in it every day ( it may be an idea to let potential customers know when the season opens)
This house would suit a family.

Comfortable home in convenient location
Well appointed and comfortable home close to beach and boardwalk. Enjoyed being able to walk everywhere and having pool access. We definitely appreciated the beach toys and other beach gear, family movies, games and books, always nice not to have to pack those items! We hope to stay here again. One note - the "king" bed in the master is really 2 attached twins. Not an issue but worth noting if you're tall!
