We have enjoyed Bear Trap for its friendly vibe and convenient location. The condo was pleasant, comfortable and clean. My favorite thing was the screened back deck overlooking the pond with fountain. Great for dining alfresco or just relaxing.
The house and location was wonderful. In a very quiet community. The community offered a gym, pool and tennis courts. We loved staying here. It was close to the beach and the shuttle system to the beach was a life saver. It was a clean place and we all enjoyed having our own privacy space in the house. Steven was very responsive.
Beautiful and spacious villa, great amenities, nice community and 8 minute drive to beach. Host was very responsive throughout the booking process and our stay. We would definitely go back and we highly recommend.
We always enjoy the peaceful neighborhood. Located close to a grocery store, pharmacy and only a few miles from the beach. Easy drive to restaurants in Ocean City and Rehoboth. It is a pet friendly rental. Carpets might benefit from a deep clean.
The property was very well maintained and as advertised on this site. The owner was accessible and accomodating which was a big reason for the great week we had in bethany. Would definitely stay there again.
We had a wonderful week. Accommodations were very nice. Close to everything. Beach was awesome. We toured around and visited other areas too-Dewey and Rehoboth beaches, Fenwick Island and Ocean City, MD. Definitely plan to come back.
The property has wonderful space for not only "hanging out" but also entertaining. Could easily have 8 to 10 adults and children at mealtime since the outdoor porch gives more seating. The house overlooks water perfect for morning coffee or late afternoon glass of wine. Had a lovely vacation and would definitely come back again!
The Villa was very nice & clean, the refrigerator really needs an upgrade. Ice maker did not work & it needed to be cleaned. We would definitely stay there again.
Steve, your place was just what we were looking for. It was clean, comfortable and the view of the pond was amazing. Thank you for letting us bring our dog, she loved sitting on the deck looking out at the ducks, birds and heron on the pond. Bear Trap is convenient to everything and we look forward to visiting again next year ! The only thing we were missing was a spaghetti strainer ! I will remember to bring next time !
I've rented houses through a number of sites and Steve's house was by far the cleanest and most well equipped of them all. He shared all of the information we needed to be in the house and use the TV'a, wi-fi, etc. He was easy to work with, answered all of my questions, and gave me several ways to contact him. We had a very enjoyable post-Thanksgiving weekend. If you can rent this house, do so. I highly recommend.
To many steps to clime, it was not mentioned on the web that the apartment has 3 levels and to get to the first floor you have to clime 16 steps with the luggage.
The property is located on Bear Trap Dunes, a great low-key community perfect for those with families and pets. There are many sidewalks and it is quiet during the morning and evening. There is a community pool that can be accessed by paying the resort fee. The pool was well maintained and easy to access (only 1/3 mile from the rental).
The rental was spacious and clean. The third (upstairs) bedroom is a loft, so those sleeping there may hear someone who is in the living room below. The kitchen was well stocked with all appliances and utensils that we needed. The porch was great -- screened in. Owner responded within 1 hour to a phone call with a question that we had. We would rent here again.
Very spacious, but uncomfortably dirty from wear and tear. Had to lysol everything just to relax somewhat. Had to buy several air fresheners to mask the musty smell and was embarrassed to have people over. They use Sea Dogs for property management...couldn't run my card for the extra $30 check-in fee, plus overall attitude was very rude. The owner of the property itself was very nice to work with.
We had a problem not with the property but with someone stealing two small bags when we were unloading our car. Put a damper on the vacation. Regarding the property, the little things mean a lot. The unit was obviously cleaned when we arrived but less than spotless. The AC in the bedrooms makes for a warm evening if the doors are closed. The light over the stove is burned out, hard to see what your cooking. The ceiling fan in the master emits an obnoxious noise. Also, would have been nice to have small gas grill outside. Every unit we have rented in beartrap for the last 12 years has had one.
Condo is more spacious than it appears in the pictures. The location was close to the pool, tennis and gym. However, we were unaware that everything closed at 5:00 after Labor Day and no beach shuttle. Owner responded quickly when contacted. Overall we had a very lovely stay in a very nice condo.
This is a beautiful rental, and the pics really donât justify how spacious it is! The kitchen, dining & living room are really big. The community amenities were worth the price. The shuttle to the beach was a nice option! Beautiful pool also!
We stayed for 4 nights during Thanksgiving. It was so nice and relaxing! The view from the back deck was beautiful. Wonderful neighborhood and took us 10 minutes to drive to downtown Bethany.
Would def stay again!
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The house is very large and very comfortable. Steven was excellent in providing services when we had a shower problem. Only one issue - the "third bedroom" is actually a loft with very little privacy.
We had a wonderful time in this home! Thank you Steven
Clean and spacious. New refrigerator. This was a perfect stay close to the beach for me and my family, which includes two adults, two children, and a dog. The community in which this property is located is very clean and offers many amenities. We swam at the pool and also used the ping-pong and pickle ball facilities. Everything was great.
There are many sidewalks for walking a dog, and they are all very clean and well lit. This is our second stay at this property, and we would gladly return.
