Really really beautiful property, very clean and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the kayaks, Bicycle rides and views of the bay. Would love to stay there next year!
Found the house upon arrival, exceptionally clean!!!! A few things not in order, did report to owner and response was quick Overall enjoyed vacationing in this home!
The unit is in a beautiful location and the cleaning service does a good job with the things for which they are responsible. However the way the unit was described and marketed did not live up to our expectations. Here are a few things we were disappointed with:
âą Ants were found near the fireplace.
âą Pillows that were provided were very soiled. Glad we brought our own.
âą Very few clothes hangers (wire) were provided in the closets. Just need basic plastic hangers.
âą Clothes were left in the bedroom drawers by previous renters.
âą Food was left in the kitchen cabinets by previous renters.
âą Gas grill was not cleaned. Filthy and greasy with leftover food particles.
âą Soda cans and toys were found in sofa cushions.
âą Dining room chair legs/cushions were wobbly and dangerously loose.
âą Hair was found in the bathtubs.
Accommodations fell a little short of what was described in the listing.

Upon arriving to the property, the comforters and pillows were stained. One of the mattress pads had a blood stain and there wasnât one on every bed as we were told would be provided. There was obvious debris on the floors, the refrigerator had not been cleaned as stated and dishes, while in the âclean rackâ were still sitting there. The windows were caked with whatever splashed on them. Do not look too closely at anything, like baseboards and floors, it is not appealing. While we did not notify the property manager the day of arrival, we did the next day on our 8 hr drive back home because staying there was just not an option. Even if we had contacted them, were we expected to stand around while they called in a cleaning crew and went and shopped for suitable bedding? That is not really convenient to the rentee paying $4500 for a week, why not just clean it to begin with? When contacting them, they required a phone call to explain everything that was already sent via email. And they disputed our observations. And yes, while according to contract terms, they did not have to refund us any of our money, ethically, it would have been the right thing to do. Perhaps not the full amount but some portion thereof since the property was not accurately described and did not meet the expectations that they set themselves. Their response to us is that there is not enough time in between renting week to week to clean the bedding and the unit to a decent standard. Really?
There were a few minor issues but the property manager was excellent and came and took care of most things quickly. There is king, queen and three twins which is not clear on listing. There were some cleaning company issues that hopefully will be resolved now that the manager is aware.
The Marina is really a beautiful location. Views of the water surround you. Lovely sunsets. If you have a boat, what could be better to have own place to dock one.
The locations is easy to get to on bike or by car to beach. Grocery store and liquor stores so handy. Great seafood place and hardware store just a mile away. The owner was very responsive. We had a wonderful time .
Our family of 5 just stayed here for a week and the house was fantastic. There's water all around and beautiful views. We enjoyed the kayaks and balconies. Neighbors are friendly. It's also just a short ride to Bethany and we didn't experience much traffic, even during July. It's overall a quiet and beautiful location. I wish we didn't have to leave!
This property is great for us because we have family nearby and can walk to see everyone. Meanwhile, John is a great host, very gracious and responsive when needed.
This was our second year staying here during the week after Christmas. The property is wonderfully maintained with beautiful views in a quiet development.
We really had a great time staying here. We needed a place that was dog-friendly and this placed had everything we needed! Four adults, three dogs... the place was clean for the most part, there were some ants, but some vinegar and water did the trick, and we did have a throw rug that smelled like cat urine, however we placed it out on the back patio for the two weeks we were there and the problem was solved. Other than that, the place was very clean, the bed in the master suite was extremely comfortable, washer and dryer were a life saver, we really had a wonderful time. John, the owner, was great to work with. we would highly recommend!
Beautiful views on the water ,nice friendly neighbor hood.
We have a small 22 foot boat that we had right out side the door in the slip.. Ramp was a little tricky ( not steep enough)but was right there. We had a great time on the water. Just need to be careful at low tide . we also went down the assawomen canal at 3miles perhour ,but it was amazing.
This property is beautifully clean and well decorated. The location is convenient to everything in Bethany Beach. The pool is also a nice feature. I would highly recommend this property.
Everything was great here...communication with John the owner was great. We had internet and TV issues (apparently the line was cut outside by landscapers?) And he went out of his way to not disrupt our stay with getting it repaired.
We brought our dogs along this time and very much enjoyed our vacation. The unit couldâve been a little cleaner and occasionally saw ants in the kitchen and livingroom, but overall we were pleased.
The property was the perfect place to unwind. Great activities with the paddleboard and kayaks. Plenty of room for all to enjoy. Neighbors were friendly. Great location that you could go to Bethany, Rehoboth, or Ocean City. Waking up to boats and water every day was tranquility.
This Memorial Day weekend was rainy and cold. The townhouse was warm and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, and cooking implements. We couldn't make use of the three very nice balconies and water access due to the weather. There were two drawbacks (besides the weather.) This townhouse has three floors, so we were constantly going up and down stairs. Not goof for the older guests and the many suitcases. And, to my surprise, linens and towels and all papers goods were not supplies. This was duly noted in the contract which could only be seen after you said you wanted to stay there. The contract had to be download and there on page two was the "no linens or paper products" listing. Thank goodness the host noted this in his email to me. We ended up renting linen and towels, costing an additional $100+. Evidently this "no linens" situation is common in this resort area but it was new to me and a significant disappointment.
