We had a wonderful vacation! We had 16 children plus grandchildren over the two weeks. Crossing the highway was no issue. The beach was amazing! We loved the private spaces for bedrooms and baths. Went crabbing twice. Everyone should rent this home.
If you want a small beach town with shops and good food minutes away, but need your privacy and quietness with family and friendsâŠchoose this rental. Know the highway needs to be carefully crossed with the family, but you can always drive 1/4 mile away to the state park beach with fisherman. Clean, extra large townhome for all your family and friends to hang on the top floor or enjoy alone time on the balconies. The pool is clean and great for kids. The views and sunsets mean many pics. Make the reservation now, or others will.
The property was delivered as advertised. Kim was an excellent host. Kim communicated very frequently and was extremely responsive to any questions or inquiries that we had. It was extremely convenient having the beach chairs and umbrellas on property and the pool was a welcome addition to the property with the little kids. I only knocked down one star on location as you have to cross a 4 line highway to get to the beach which was stressful at times with the children. This is by no means the fault of the owner but there is no crosswalk which feels warranted given the speed cars tend to be traveling at.
The property is beautiful. It is 4 stories so be prepared for lots of stairs. The kitchen and dining room are on the fourth floor and bbq is on ground floor so if you plan to bbq and eat inside be prepared.There is really not much of a view and no ocean breeze. The beach is across a busy four lane highway. It was no problem to cross but the decks on that side of the house were very noisy from traffic. The other side of the house looks over the parking lot with a partial view of the bay. See photos for views.The host was very responsive and informwd us when the property was available early for checkin. It is spacious, beautifully appointed and clean.
The condo is immaculate with beautiful furnishings, views of the ocean and the bay, and adequate space for our family of eleven! This being our first time in Bethany Beach, it was a lovely home for our family to enjoy a week at the shore!
Terrific place. Spacious, clean and close by to Rehoboth or Bethany. Owner is super communicative and friendly. As others have noted, the complex is off route 1 so there is a bit of noise and crossing the street to the large and quiet beach does take a bit of patience, but these were not deal breakers by any means.
Excellent location to Rehoboth, Bethany and Fenwick. Easy access to beach across street. Plenty of sleeping and living space. Availability of beach toys, chairs, umbrella, cart and grill which we took full advantage of. Decks off of every room in house made for great views and leisure time.
The property is very nice. It was our first stay in Bethany and I think we'd prefer to be closer to town next time, but this wasn't a big deal this time. We enjoyed all of the beach chairs, the beach cart and umbrellas. The furniture is nice and everything is in great condition.
Our family had a great time away from the Midwest to experience the ocean and beach while in DC for our daughter's special occasion. Kimberly's communication was as fantastic as our stay! Easy walk to the beach or bay with the chairs and umbrellas and cart we were allowed to use. Condo was clean and decor was very nice! We rented sheets and towels from Sheets at the Beach and they were fantastic too! Our grandson ( and family) didn't want to leave!!! Fun memories were made!
My kids, their spouses and my 4 grandkids had a wonderful say. Plenty of room and a lot of space to make this vacation one of our best. We enjoyed views of the bay and the easy access to the beach right across the street. The grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the dock where we caught enough crab for all of us. Kimmie responded quickly to anny questions we had and the home came with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!!
Cannot say enough good things about this rental! Beautiful, clean house! Lots of amenities! Easy access to the beach. Beautiful, clean pool. Nice, quiet communityâŠowners were great to communicate with. Would rent this place again in a heartbeat!
This was a much needed trip to rest and relax. The weather was extremely hot, which made it perfect for the beach. The unit was immaculate and comfortable. Thank you.
Everything about this house was very nice. Lots of space for the family and everything you could need during your stay - especially the beach toys, cart and chairs! Only difficulty was the amount of steps for older parents and crossing the highway with the little ones but outside of that highly recommend this home! Close distance to Bethany and Rehobeth yet nice private beach to avoid the crowds. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
My family and I had a wonderful time at Shangri-la. The house is beautifully decorated and the views were great. We enjoyed having the living space on a separate floor from the bedrooms. We definitely got our exercise in with the stairs! LOL! Kimberly was great to work with and she even put the crab pots out for use prior to our arrival. I would absolutely recommend stay here. Thank you, Kimberly for providing your home to making a very memorable family vacation!
Exceptionally clean and nicely decorated property. The house was tastefully updated and spacious. We really enjoyed the views and light. Kim provided everything necessary to enjoy the beach and useful and clear instructions.
One note- the street to cross for the beach is very busy and was a bit stressful with small children. The kids were fine (and actually seemed to like the adventure) but I wanted to provide that context. We found it to be a very minor drawback.
Wonderful, clean and SPACIOUS rental. We had 4 tween/teens and 4 adults. Dining table comfortably sat all 8 of us. Also, we could all fit comfortably in the living room for movie night, etc. Also, fully stocked with beach chairs, sand toys, kayak, life jackets, etc. They really thought of everything!!!! This was our first time staying in Bethany beach and the beach across from the rental (though you have to cross a 4 lane highway to get to it) wasnât overcrowded and the waves were awesome!! Also, we were ok with it but just for other renters to know there are no lifeguards on this section of the beach. Overall, awesome place and beach!
We booked this home for a family beach trip the week after Labor Day. We had a wonderful time. The beach across the street from this home is beautiful and the home is equipped with everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach. The home was comfortable for our 5 adults and 1 child, but there are a few things that were not ideal about this home/location. Be prepared for the amount of steps in the home. Crossing the highway to get to the beach is also tricky especially since there is no crosswalk. Additionally, because you are so close to Highway 1, walking anywhere from the home feels unsafe, particularly for the older and younger members of our family. The road noise you hear in the home is very loud. We were also disappointed that the pool was closed after Labor Day as one of the reasons we booked this home was the pool.
Great vacation! The home was very clean and the setup really made it easy for us to settle into like a second home. Nice cookware and other items to use throughout the home. The room layout was perfect for our family. Great location and easy access to the beach just over coastal highway. The home included many beach chairs, an umbrella and wagons that were all great quality and in good condition so we did not have to pack any for the trip. The community pool was nice and quiet for a little afternoon break. The owner was very responsive to any questions that I had and even sent a list of things to do in the area. At the home there was a very organized book of restaurants and other things to do in the area - so helpful! Yes it is close to coastal highway so you can hear cars more on the lower levels on that side but we expected it and it did not bother us. Look forward to returning next year!
We really enjoyed our vacation at this rental home! We travelled with 3 children (ages 1, 6 and 7) and 6 adults (2 over 70). The home was spacious, very clean and well stocked. Beautiful views (especially of the bay) as there are balconies off of every room/level. Short driving distance to Rehoboth and Bethany Brach boardwalks which were a lot of fun for the kids. The beach was fairly clean, but note that it is near a fishing beach so there was some fishing gear left behind. The beach during the weekend was pretty crowded with the fisherman, but quiet during the week. The distance to the beach isnât far, but you do have to cross a 4 lane highway to get there which was a bit challenging for the younger children and the older adults.
There are a lot of the levels to the home but the majority of our party didnât have any trouble because there are a lot of landings in between each level.
Kimberly was very communicative and provided any details I needed ahead of time. Overall, I would recommend this property if you are looking for a rental for a larger group and arenât needing to be directly on the beach!
Our family has always wanted to own a part of the Bethany community and want to share that same experience with others. Our two children, Carter 13 and Camille 11, are the perfect age to spend lots of memorable time at our favorite destination.
Our family has been vacationing in Bethany for almost 20 years and we simply love it. My wife Kimmie and her family have been coming since she was a child and this is her father's favorite place to be. We have spent the last ten plus years checking out real estate but financing proved rather challenging. When we found this little slice of heaven tucked neatly between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Bay, we had to find a way. Our solution was to enjoy it in the early fall and late spring and share this unforgettable experience with other families like yours. We sincerely hope you enjoy our property and its glorious surroundings.
Less than 250 steps to the Ocean, less than 30 steps to the Bay, a short bike ride to the Indian River Inlet to the North and a short bike ride to the town of Bethany to the south. Unmatched views of the Bay and Ocean from 6 large decks. Remarkable sunrise with a great cup of coffee and a glorious sunset with a glass of wine. Community pier into Bay, beautiful blue swimming pool and serene, sandy beaches all with steps of each other.
