7 family members and a small dog stayed last week (3 adults and 4 teens) for a summer vacation in Bethany Beach. Overall, we were very pleased with the property and it fully met our expectations. A few key negatives were (1) on the main level there were flies throughout the kitchen and living room, to the point that the hosts had several fly swatters hanging and available; (2) the marsh in the backyard, while picturesque, gave off an absolutely terrible smell making it near impossible to hang out on the deck, and (3) while only a 10 min drive from the beach, it’s a very long ten minutes, and after packing up the car and then finding a parking spot, it’s a lot to deal with each day.
That said, plenty of positives about this property! It was clean (except for the flies), spacious, beds were comfy, showers were great, plenty of couch space, lots of TVs, we enjoyed the community pool, and it was a nice, quiet neighborhood. This rental made for a really nice summer vacation for our family!
