Great Vacation Spot

The location is located on a quiet residential beach and it was a bonus to have a parking pass to be able to unload right at the beach entrance. Easy walk to the beach and the house was perfect and exactly as described. We enjoyed breakfast on the back deck every morning on the bay. Patrick was very responsive and helpful where needed. Beds were super comfortable and loved that we didn’t have to bring our bedding. We rented our towels from Gale Force Rentals and it was simple and easy process. Thanks for sharing Patrick!

Great location

My family and I loved staying here. Perfect location on the canal and a 5 min walk to a beautiful beach. Since it’s in south Bethany you’re away from the crowds but only a 5 min drive to the main Bethany strip. We would definitely stay here again.

Fo not be fooled by these reviews.

This is way overpriced. Lay out is just plain weird. There are 3 bedrooms and one bath on the entry level and the kitchen and living room are on the upper level. There's also a bedroom and a bath on the upper level but you have to walk thru the bathroom to get to that bedroom. There's NO PLACE to eat except at the kitchen bar which would handle maybe 3 people and the living room which is really all part of the same space. So evidently this is where people eat and that has caused the couch to get very dirty and cushions were also ripped in several places. I didn't want my kids to sit on it. The couch is the center of a home and for 4k a week I want to sit on a CLEAN couch. When I told the owner and he brushed me off and said he didnt have time in between guests to fix it, BS it takes 20 mins for a company to deliver a couch and we would have gladly allowed one to be delivered We asked for a partial refund and this guy never responded. There's a dining table outside on a screened in porch on the upper level You have to walk through the living room to get there. It is so hot no living human can eat in there. The room has plastic windows that you have to lower to let the air come through but it still gets very hot in there (the plastic is like boat isenglass). These windows are loose and rickety and some are broken but they still go up and down if you keep trying. If it rains and those windows aren't closed, the carpet, chairs and anything you leave on that table will get wet. The only way to the canal side of the property from inside the house is thru one of the down stairs bedrooms or thru that dining porch thingy. The house actually has a small deck accessible thru sliding doors in the living room but we never used it bc it was very small and looked unsafe. (I asked Patrick the owner if it was safe but he didn't answer me). The outside was nice. It had a deck right up to the water with chairs and a gas fire pit. It didn't have any grass like the adjacent properties just old mulch over weed barrier. Don't waste your money on this overpriced dump.

Amazing Location and Cozy Accommodations

We were within walking distance of the beach as well as a shopping plaza. The boardwalk and additional shopping was just a short drive away. The house was perfectly cozy and the outdoor spaces were our favorite. The patio with fire pit and seating along the canal was great for evening gatherings. Dining out in the sun room was amazing, especially with the ocean breeze coming through the large windows.

The house was nice and the outside amenities were great

Overall, the place met our needs. There were a few hiccups - second floor shower leaked and the sink in each bathroom drained slowly...and then the dryer broke but was repaired in time for the next tenant. All is all, everything worked out ok for our group.

Loved the outdoor space and convenient location to the beach. We enjoyed the large screened in porch and fire pit. I would recommend mounting the TV above the fireplace and adding a couch/chair for additional living room seating. Also, an additional set of dishes would be helpful since our group of 7 went through the plates at every meal. A beautiful week, great weather, and a lovely place to stay!
