About this property

Hawksbill House - Sleeps 19 6BR, 5BA

Our Booking Calendar is ALWAYS up-to-date. Luxurious and spacious vacation home in Bethany Beach! Great Room with cathedral ceiling and gas fireplace, dining room seats 22, wet bar with wine cooler, fully-equipped kitchen. The color scheme is inspired by beach glass and sand dunes. Screened porch, covered front porch and sun deck for your outdoor enjoyment - plus a gas grill and outdoor shower. Rental includes 2 beach parking passes that permit FREE parking on any residential street in Bethany Beach. Main level bedrooms are 1 King suite with whirlpool tub and separate shower, 1 Queen and twin with private bath access. Upstairs are 1 King with private bath, 2 Queens (one with an additional twin bed) with a shared bath, and a Bunk Room with 2 twin/double and 1 twin/twin bunk beds, also with a private bath (who wants to share with the kids?). There is driveway parking for 6+ cars. Located in quiet Turtle Walk, we are 10 blocks from the ocean. No Smoking, No Pets. RESERVE NOW. Find us on social media, too. Calendar is always up to date, please check before inquiring. We have a minimum rental age of 24 unless there is a parent chaperone who stays with you at the house for the duration of your stay. Lease and security deposit required, along with a copy of your driver's license.

Beach Access: The beach is one mile from our house. Rental includes 2 Bethany Beach parking passes that permit FREE and UNLIMITED parking on any residential street in Bethany Beach, including the blocks by the beach. The permit is not valid at parking meters. Additionally, the town provides a free beach shuttle trolley that runs through our neighborhood 2 times per hour during the Summer season. Just flag it down in front of the house. Another alternative is biking. Bring your own or rent one (2 locations in town, one within walking distance of the house). The main road between our house and the beach has a bike lane and, of course, the terrain is flat. It is an easy walk for adults, not so much for very young children. My 5 year-old niece biked to the beach with no problem.

Pool and Tennis: Tennis is located @ 1 mile away in Ocean View. There is a water park in Fenwick Island called Thunder Lagoon (5 miles south) that has a lazy river, kiddie pool, and water slides. There are no public pools in Bethany Beach. Rehoboth Beach (12 miles north) also has a water park.

Our Community - Turtle Walk: Turtle Walk is a quiet residential community of custom homes with many year-round residents. All parking is off-street. There is no through traffic making our streets perfect for a leisurely stroll, bike, jog, etc. There are 2 fitness clubs, golf, and tennis nearby. Fenwick Island, Ocean City and Rehoboth Beach have water parks. The town has a boardwalk, community center, frequent free concerts at the bandstand, volleyball courts, great shops and restaurants, plus a miniature golf course.

Girls group

The property worked very well for our needs. We were a group of 11 ( 4 adults and 7 teenagers). The house allowed enough space for us all to branch out as needed, as well as a large enough central space for all of us to gather when we wanted! The trolley was great and the beach was an easy 1 mile walk for those that wanted to get their steps in! I would highly recommend this location - it was very functional and efficient!!

Beautiful home, very spacious and clean! Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Easy and timely communication with host. A mile from the beach, but the neighborhood is lovely and the free town trolley stops at the front door! Or drive and park with 2 beach passes provided. A great stay!

Great House for our Golf Trip

4 couples looking for a big house for a fun golf and beach weekend. We had plenty of privacy, each having our own bedrooms and bathrooms. Common area very amenable to group cocktail hour and late night chats. Location was great too, close enough to beach and restaurants and local golf courses. Overall a great house. I would rent again for sure.

Great home, great neigjborhood

We loved our stay here! Cindy was extremely responsive to all of my questions prior to our arrival, and while there, we didn’t need a single thing during our stay. Everything was as listed, the house was clean, and it was functional for a larger group. The “Bunk Room” was perfect for the teenage boys in our party. They had their own space to hang out each evening, so they had some privacy and space that worked very well for everyone, lol. The kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of storage for a week’s worth of food and beach snacks. The flow of the house is very functional, and when we weren’t at the beach we were in the back yard hanging on the deck or playing lawn games. Be aware that this is a residential neighborhood. It seemed to us that most folks in the area lived there, so it was quiet. The neighbor to the immediate right was wonderful! They were very friendly and helpful. Once you figure out where to park for the beach, it’s a breeze (we used the Maplewood lot and/or on-street parking on that street every day. There was plenty of space to park). We found it helpful to go down and scout out parking the first day we arrived. The boys took the trolley quite often, it seemed to run on schedule and often enough that getting folks to and from the beach in “shifts” was not a problem. We didn’t have any small children in our group though, so there was no need to accompany anyone anywhere. I’m not sure how it would be to take the trolley with smaller kids and/or beach toys. Overall we loved our stay!

Close and convenient

We had a great time enjoying Bethany! The house made great use of space and we never felt like we were tripping over each other, even with our big group. The convenience of the house allowed everyone the flexibility to come and go to the beach at different times. We are planning our next trip and want to stay here again!!

Wanting a place for our 19 member family to gather for fun and fellowship at a fair price we selected this property. Its close proximity to beach and attractions as well as shopping and dining by either a short drive or pleasant tram ride were pluses.

Wonderful property, great location, responsive owner

We loved staying at the Hawksbill property in June 2022. Our extended family found the layout of the house good and the drive to the beach was so easy - maybe 5 minutes. The included parking passes were also really nice. When we arrived, the house had not been cleaned due to a scheduling mix-up. The owner responded immediately and not only got the cleaning scheduled ASAP, but remained in close contact to ensure that everything was completed properly. We'll be booking this property again in the future!

The perfect home for a group getaway

We had 13 women, and it easily accommodated all of us! There was plenty of room for us to spread out and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The house is well stocked. It is located minutes from downtown Bethany and minutes from the Sea Colony Tennis center! It was a fantastic experience and the owner was very responsive to our questions. We will certainly rent again!

Guys golf trip

The house was pretty much as billed. Located in a family orientated residential community, it is in close proximity to most everything Bethany Beach has to offer. It was clean and there were some kitchen supplies there which was greatly appreciated. Most if not all the mattresses were in very good to excellent condition. Bathrooms were clean but a little dated. No rust or cracking, just a little dated. Response time to any questions beforehand was outstanding. I highly recommend this house for a large group or multiple families.

Bethany Beach Rental

We needed the rental for a short stay for my brother's 60th Birthday and a fishing trip in Ocean City. The house was large enough to accommodate everyone with much needed space. The communication between myself and the owner was excellent as every question was answered in timely manner. I would differently rent again for a Girlfriend's Getaway.

Nice property, close to the beach/restaurants, responsive owners

We stayed at this property with the group of friends/family with teens on October 2-5. The property is spacious, has everything you might need during your stay and close to the beach/restaurants (1.5 miles) yet quiet and pleasant neighborhood. Screened porch is great to eat outside without bugs. Fireplace is cosy in the living room. The owners are nice people with whom it was really easy to communicate. They respond within minutes that was really appreciated. The property however could use some appliances update in the kitchen. Overall we had a pleasant weekend together.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Moses

Our family has vacationed in Bethany Beach for over 50 years. We now have 5 generations who have enjoyed the sand and surf of Bethany. I built this home to accommodate our growing family and the needs of multiple generations.

Why they chose this property

We found it increasing difficult to find an affordable vacation home that could comfortably accommodate multiple families at once. I designed and built this home to meet our family's need for private bedrooms for adults and a spacious bunk room for kids. My biggest priority was an in town location so we could use beach parking passes and the town trolley. From the expansive great room, to the wonderful porches and deck - you'll find comfortable relaxing space for everyone.

What makes this property unique

Even the last person to shower has hot water with our on-demand water heaters. Our off-season guests love the gas fireplace for cozy evenings after a day of golf or biking. Two bedrooms and two baths on the main floor are perfectly suited for seniors, like my parents. It's just the right mix of together space and private space. We've hosted many church retreats and adult group getaways such as golfing friends and book clubs, youth sports teams, scout troops, and scrapbooking clubs.
