Cute, nicely decorated beach cottage, walking distance to everything! Our family of five was very comfortable staying here during some very hot, humid weather. We had one small issue with the grill and the owners were very responsive. Highly recommend if you love Delaware beaches!
The cottage was nice and well laid out for a family visit to the beach. The location was quiet and well placed to get to the beach easily and to catch the trolley as well.
We enjoyed our stay. The parking pass made access to the beautiful beach easy, and the porch was a pleasant hangout spot for games and coffee. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen/dining area very workable. We loved the area and look forward to returning.
Great location and convenient walking distance to the beach (adults and teens). Basic equipped kitchen and easy to use outdoor grill. We enjoyed hanging out on the enclosed porch.
We had a wonderful vacation at your lovely cottage!! Everything was so clean and supplied well. Very nice beds and all so cozy. We rode our bikes and we walked to Difebos for our dinner reservation on Tuesday! We love Bethany and all it has to offer. Beautiful, peaceful beach and the area and park is nice to take a leisurely walk. Thank you so much!
The cottage is in a nice neighborhood. We rented bikes and had a great time riding around. We went up and down Collins and experienced way less traffic. The bikes were very convenient and enjoyable. Bring a book bag to carry your things. The Landlord is very accommodating.
This was the perfect house ! So clean and close to beach. Nice outside seating. Close to restaurants. Nice neighborhood to go for walks. Felt like home not crazy busy with lots of people all around. Very nice and very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay here. The house is on a quiet, tree lined road. There were 2 comfortably sized bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, a full dining table, comfy living area, and large screened in front room that felt like you were outside but without the bugs. The air conditioners in each room kept it nice and cool. There were plenty of beach chairs so we didnât have to bring our own. Lisa was a great host and was very responsive when we had a few questions. The parking pass was a big plus but we could also walk or bike to downtown. I would recommend this for any family or small group of friends who wants a great beach experience.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was clean, cozy and perfect for our needs. The cottage was actually much more spacious than we thought. We are a family of 4 and definitely could have fit more people comfortably. I loved the local decor around the house and the sound of church bells in the morning added to the charm. The highlight for my kids was the outdoor shower after returning from the beach each day. This is also made it very easy to keep sand out of the cottage. Our host was quick to answer any questions, although we didnât have many questions because everything was well-explained ahead of time. The location was close to the beach (about one light up from the main beach area) and also to Ocean View, where we visited the Ocean View Brewing Company. The beach in Bethany was beautiful and clean. Mangoâs was great for happy hour, 14 Global was a great culinary experience for the grownups on our trip, and the flowers all around town are absolutely gorgeous. We hope to come back again next year!
Overall, a great visit to Bethany. The cottage is a cozy and comfortable place to stay.
Pros:
*Great communication with host!
*Comfy beds
*Nicely sized bedrooms
*Quiet, tree-lined street -- very walkable
*House stayed very cool with window/wall AC units (even in 97-degree heat!)
*Relatively close to the beach (20-minute walk with teenagers, but this was difficult in extreme heat while carrying beach gear)
*Very close to a trolley stop, which was convenient to travel to the boardwalk
*Use of beach chairs & umbrella was very convenient so that we didn't have to bring our own (although the chairs are pretty old/banged up)
Cons:
(Please note: Host said she is remedying these issues, but wanted to share an honest review of our stay)
*Had some issues with cleanliness when we first arrived--mold in shower and on shower curtain, mattress covers were very dirty/stained (we had to wash them upon arrival), tiny bugs in main bathroom. The remainder of the house was clean.
*Wasps were living in the wood above the outdoor shower
*Several burners on the stove didn't work & there was dirt in exhaust fan
*The washer and dryer are in two different rooms, which makes the transport of laundry a challenge. It would be nice to have a laundry basket on site to help with this.
Again, the host was very responsive to feedback and said these issues would be immediately addressed. Overall, it was a nice place to stay in a great, quiet location!
Our checkin time was pushed back because the home was not cleaned on time. Uneven floors in the hallway, my daughter stubbed her toe bad on the hardwood floor that had a rug stapled to it to even it out. The back bedroom smells like mold, many of the outlets in the home did not hold any plugs, air conditioner in living room leaks onto the sofa. Owner was VERY RUDE upon checkout. We were out by 12:30, actually standing in the yard saying bye to our children. She left a nasty message on my phone as well and also on here. My fiance called her back to ensure her we were out and she started yelling at her. My fiancee is a realtor, in business for 29 plus years. Sheâs highly upset how we were talked to. Would not recommend this address. I think the condition of the home is not up to the standards of homes we stayed at before through this app. She is actually making you look bad by her behavior. We did not deserve her rudeness!!!
Comfortable cottage for our family of 4. Easy beach access with the parking pass available. Appreciated the library of Disney videos-shocked the kids with the need to rewind the tape :) Especially liked the sun room/porch for morning coffee and past-beach naps.
Very cozy house in a quiet little neighborhood. Not far from the beach and surrounding activities. All communication was fast and helpful! Highly reccomended!
The house was in a nice wooded neighborhood. It is a bit of a walk to shops but doable.. Too far to beach if carrying a bunch of stuff. Resident parking pass solved that issue. The house provided room to spread out which we enjoyed the most. My 2 daughters shared a bedroom with 2 full/ queen beds. There was a sunroom and a kitchen/sitting area. Our concerns were that we were not able to get large TV to work. We were able to use small one in sunroom although limited channels. Make sure to bring plenty of bed linens and towels as none are provided as listed. I also brought my own blankets as I'm not sure if comforters are washed after each guest. Bring tissues and extra toilet paper. Overall, place was clean and satisfactory for our stay.
This property is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but itâs within easy walking distance of many great locations. Itâs about 9/10 of a mile to the main boardwalk and there are several restaurants located just a couple of blocks away in the other direction. The use of the parking pass was super handy as well.
Adorable cottage. Quiet tree lined street. Had a lovely time riding the trolley to town. Stops at the corner. Ride to beach is 3 minutes away. Wonderful, fun time.
