Great location in great area
It’s a large dated home with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms reasonably priced in a great location. The owner, Nancie, was very responsive and even offered to go above and beyond what was offered with the rental. It met our family’s every need.

36 anniversary celebration
The house was perfect. Roomy , cozy and very clean . It was a perfect ambience for our first family vacation since my husband’s near death stroke 2 yrs ago. The beach was as described one block away , beautiful and peaceful. My children, their spouses, grandchildren brother in law and sister had a blast. There are so many places and activities nearby for all ages . We are looking forward to going back next year.Our host responded so promptly to any questions we had. Awesome house , awesome host. The house was fully supplied with all daily necessities and more.

This is a large dated home but in an amazing location with plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms. The owner is very reachable and responsive. Downside is the spiral staircase in middle of house but great to have two kitchens. Air conditioning is wonderful; water pressure very good. We’ve had two wonderful stays at this property for our very large family

Wonderful week in Bethany Beach!
We had a fantastic week and enjoyed the beautiful water views from the house. There was plenty of room for us to enjoy meals both inside and outside, and it was a quick walk to the beach. The owner is very kind and a pleasure to work with.

Perfect beach location
Was very concerned based on previous reviews. We were happy when we arrived. It is a beach house and what we expected. It accommodated our needs just fine. It is a great location and loved the outdoor yard!

Great location, perfect size, not very well maintained
My family has used Home Away and VRBO for vacation rentals many times over the past 10+ years with great success. Never a complaint until now. This house was the perfect location and size for 17 adults, a 7 year old boy and two dogs for the early June Assateaque Island wedding of my son and daughter-in-law. However, the cleanliness and maintenance lacked. There were cobwebs, dust bunnies and dirt built up everywhere. Remnants of past renters were found on bathroom walls (toothpaste or shaving cream), around furniture (partially empty drink containers and food wrappers), chairs in disrepair in the dining areas both inside and out, broken toilet seats in two bathrooms and the stairway hand rail was not repaired properly and could be dangerous if a person was not careful. The dirt and disrepair was not expected based on the $300 cleaning fee and our entire party agreed if there was more attention paid to cleaning and maintenance this property would be beautiful. I hope the owner is able to make the changes necessary to make this rental the showplace is has the potential to be.
