2025 Season Updates
Entire home was painted. Couches, chairs in family room were steam cleaned. New carpet on entire first floor. Purchased all new sheets and towels (5 star hotel quality). All duct work inspected and vacuumed using a powerful HEPA-filtered vacuum and a compressed air system which flushed all traces of dirt and dust out of the ductwork and into a specialized vacuum system.

James Farm Ecological Preserve is a very, very short 1.4 mile walk/drive and right down the street from our home. It has a free, public beach that is pet friendly 365 days/year! Since it is on the bayside, it is very calm and the water is very shallow. Perfect for little ones.

Whites Creek is an absolute fantastic river and just out our "back-door". Kayak launch is only a short walk from our home. Kayaks are available from outside 3rd party and rates range from $125/week to $175. Please let me know if you are interested.

The community has a fantastic clubhouse with both indoor pool, outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna. The outdoor pool is usually open between Memorial day and Labor day but may be closed a week or so earlier/later. Although it is very, very rare, on occasion either of the pools may have to be closed for repairs and there is no guarantee they will be open during your stay. There is also a game room with a pool table, ping-pong, foosball, arcade game, etc…. There is also a tv room and a large kitchen.

The clubhouse requires that all guests pay a fee to use the facilities. The fees are listed below:


Per Person Rate Year-Round
$6.50 per day per person; $45.00 per person per week
● Minimum of 3-day access.
● Must be sequential days.

Please note that you must go to the clubhouse and meet with clubhouse staff and make arrangements during normal business hours. Clubhouse closes at 5:00 but I recommend getting there earlier.

There is a $50 fee if the key fob is not returned.


Private Garage Parking for 2 Cars and Multiple Spots for additional cars if needed. EV Charger just installed inside garage.

My goal is for our guests to fall in love with our home and come back year-after-year. We take guest satisfaction very seriously and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Every year I survey all of my past guests for feedback on what we could have done to make the home better and implement those suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to view our home and I welcome any questions that you have. I'm looking forward to having you stay at our home.

It was a very clean home in a nice location. Two car garage was a nice feature as well. The owner, Brooke, was excellent in communicating the surroundings and access to the condo. No complaints. Had all amenities that were needed. Thank you Brooke/Vrbo.

Breathtaking place to catch our breaths!

We needed a quiet place to get away and catch our breaths... and we found exactly that in this quite large, brand new space. Everything from the decor to the amenities were comfortable, impeccably clean, and first class. We will certainly be back, at least once a year!

Wonderful Getaway with so much to do!

Our family of eight (3 teens and 5 adults) stayed here very comfortably. The mattresses in every room were all very comfortable and the place was very clean and well taken care of. This is a great location with so much to do for people of all ages. The condo is a very short walk to the pool, tennis and other clubhouse amenities. We never found any of the clubhouse amenities crowded which was an additional plus! Bethany is a short drive and there is plenty of beach parking.

Best host ever!

Brooke is the best! He was easy to communiate with, highly responsive and went out of his way to ensure our stay was special. His home is very comfortable and well stocked with kitchen supplies to lightbulbs. The community is wonderful. Friendly neighbors and a clubhouse right down the street that provides an additional place to spread out and relax with pools and other entertainment. Most importantly, the home's location is perfect. Only 15 minute drive to either North Ocean City or Southern Rheobeth Beach in either direction. Close to a great 18 hole short golf course and a just few minutes drive to the beach. If you're an outside person and want to be close to everything you'll want to rent this home.

Beautiful quiet family friendly community

The property is about 8 min drive from the beach, down the street from the grocery store and a playground for littles the rooms are a great size and have great bathtubs to relax in. If you bring a dog they have a small community to walk them in and the pool overlooks the water from the bay which is stunning on a beautiful day. Bethany beach is my favorite for families it’s small and beautiful easy parking and walk to the beach. The owner of the property was very sweet and was very responsive, I recommend anyone staying here.

Needs some TLC and a new cleaner...

I don't like checking into a place and immediately noticing how it hasn't actually been cleaned (despite a cleaning fee being charged). The carpet just outside the kitchen had what looked like cat litter (didn't smell like it). The tablecloth (glued to the table for some reason??) had sticky drops/residue all over. Luckily there were Lysol wipes under the sink so I did a thorough wiping down of counters and table. The first dish I grabbed out of the cabinet had food dried onto it so I ended up pulling out what I figured we would use for dishes and running a load in the dishwasher. We found upon arrival (late evening) that not a single roll of toilet paper was in the condo. I messaged the host to ask if there was a secret stash somewhere. Got a response right away that the cleaner should have stocked it. Ended up running to the grocery store nearby to get some. We were so excited to be able to use the Jacuzzi. Unfortunately, when we filled it up and turned it on it spit out chunks of mold from the jets. Pretty gross. We let it run for a bit, drain, and tried again... same thing. We tried again the last night but due to a community-wide water issue from the storm that came through we couldn't fill the tub with "clean" water. Place was "fine"... I'd suggesting finding a new cleaning company. Also, have someone come in and do some general maintenance/TLC/repairs. (drywall repair, shower heads, etc.) Vrbo limits my review to 1500 characters so I can't say more...

Great property

Overall we loved the property with a few issues. If you’re traveling with people with mobility difficulties, there are a lot of stairs (to get in, upstairs, living room to kitchen) and the televisions were wonky. Other than that, it was a great location, clean and easy check-in/out.

pleasant stay

The complex and home were very nicely appointed and maintained. The host was amazingly helpful and responsive (best we've had after dozens of rentals!). Attached garage was a nice bonus but had too much clutter to fit 2 cars and parking for the second car was a good distance away. The biggest design flaw was the lack of dining space. There is barely room to seat 6 people in the relatively small kitchen and the dining set leaves little room to move around. The kitchen was well-stocked but sharp knives and better cookware are needed. Although we appreciate this is a pet friendly home, we found the carpet and LR rug to be less than clean. Location was short driving distance to everything we needed, including many great restaurants.
