Awesome stay!

Had a great visit over the July 4th holiday. Space was extremely clean, well organized, perfectly suited for my family (2 toddlers, 1 7 year old, 4 adults, 2 grandparents). Bunk beds on the 1st floor were a highlight for all the kids. Beds were very comfortable!Entry level had no issues with humidity and had its own air conditioner.Owners were very kind and were available for any questions we had. AWe hope to stay there again!

Relaxing Beach Stay

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.

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.

Great place in Bethany!

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!!

North Bethany close to beach and Matt's Fish Camp

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.

Love Tower Shores

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!

Spacious House and Great Location

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.

Hot Fun in the Summer Time

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!!!

Spacious, surprisingly private, perfectly equipped!

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!
