Relaxing property for beach trip

Quiet relaxing views of marsh and wildlife near beach and attractions. Enjoyable screend in patio and deck with outdoor shower. Nice master and kitchen with bunkbed room for kids. Guest bathroom toilet needs repairs and some doors to deck do not lock. Overall good spot for family vacation.

Just Okay

Location and setting are nice. The house needs to have some attention paid to it. The front door entry keypad does not work well. Other doors don’t lock at all. The place has ants. I had to duck under a branch to go in the front door. The ‘driveway’ trees need to be trimmed. A lot of evidence of neglect.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Nice location and setting. There are kayaks but I didn’t see paddles so couldn’t use them. One of the doors to the deck in the dink g room had an inoperable lock. The worst part of the property is the front door keypad. It did not work consistently. On average I had to make around five attempts at entering the code to gain entry.

Peaceful, clean, relaxing spot.

The screened in porch was wonderful. My husband and daughter crabbed in the marsh and the kids took out the kayaks. We love this house and will stay again.

The views, the views, the views!

We loved the views! This house is in a corner lot with quiet and expansive wetland views and amazing bird watching morning, noon, and night. It is close to the beaches as well with no need to battle traffic once you've arrived. Already planning our return : )

Peaceful tree house in the coastal pines

Clean, quiet and comfortable home. Wonderful views with abundant wildlife. Next to canal, nice that they offer kayaks, the canal is a great experience, easy for any level yaker. Could use some updating, as it is a well lived in home, this hasn't detered us as this is our second stay and would gladly return n in future.

Peaceful and close to beautiful beach

This house is really peaceful and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. It’s an easy bike ride or a very short drive to the beach, which is lovely. The WiFi worked well for our work laptops — no problems — and the TV had a ton of channels for the kids. Bethany has many restaurant options and Dewey, Rehoboth, and Ocean City are all close by, too.

Perfect beach home for nature lovers

This home is on a canal. It's great for kayaking. It sits on the edge of a preserve so great for wildlife watching. It's a short walk or bike ride to the beach or downtown Bethany. The house house has a well stocked kitchen. There are also beach chairs and some sand toys.

Very nice, low-key spot

House was open and airy, having kayaks to take out onto the canal was great. Location only a mile from South Bethany Beach very convenient.

Beautiful waterfront setting

Lovely home directly on waterfront. Beautifies. Lovely screened porch to enjoy views. Backyard fire pit and kayaks a big and unexpected plus. Direct access from house to water for kayak launch. Very comfortable for two couples of couple with kids. 2d bedroom has bunk beds which was fine for our 20 something kids

Idyllic and wonderful

We loved our time. In fact it may have been the best vacation home we've ever stayed at in terms of location and style. We are nature lovers and the Assawoman wetland setting was amazing. We all love the kayak tours around the canal and marshlands. To have that in the backyard and the ocean down the street is perfect. The home was artistic and tasteful in its simplicity. We'd love to go back any time of year.

Overall, we liked this place

Overall, we were happy with this property and would stay here again. It was spacious and the view was great. A couple items we were not fond of: there are rugs everywhere. I know it’s to save the carpet from wear, but my kids and I were all tripping over them. The ones at the top of the steps were particularly precarious and dangerous for tripping. The baby gate at the top of the steps is nice… except it didn’t latch or screw in place so it was easy for my 15 month old to swing on the hinge and try to get down the steps. The property looks fairly clean, but 30 minutes of crawling around and my 15 month old had black hands, feet, and knees - so the floor could definitely be cleaned better. Wi-Fi was okay - it didn’t work for me a whole day but worked on the second day. And the water filter on the fridge indicated that it needed to be replaced and had not been. Overall, again, we were happy, but fixing these items would have made our stay perfect.

Beach House

Very nice house exactly as pictured and listed. The kitchen had everything we needed and the owners left beer and coffee for us. We used the screened in porch for all meals. We brought kayaks with us and used the ones at the house. Great family vacation house! Thank you
