About this property

Lux Bethany Beach House | Walking Distance to Ocean | Gated Community with Pool

The six bedroom, five full and two half bath Indian River Retreat Beach House is the perfect place for a family vacation. The beach house is located in the private gated community at South Shore Marina - located at the north end of Bethany Beach.

With the large windows and multiple decks, including a spiral stair case to the sun deck, this house will become a family favorite for summer trips. The house is walking distance to Delaware Seashore State Park (6/10ths of a mile), where you can enjoy a life guarded beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The Indian River Bay surrounds the home and provides an amazing landscape for relaxation and some of the best sunsets you will ever see.

This modern beach home was professionally decorated and is an ideal summer getaway. The open floor plan on the main level allows you to gather with your family and closest friends, but the multiple levels create privacy and space.

The house elevator makes it easy to get luggage and groceries to each floor.

Spend the day at the beach or take part in the activities offered by Delaware Seashore State Park or all that the local beach communities have to offer. In the evening wind down with dinner and live music overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or Indian River Bay at either Big Chill or Hammerheads, our two local communal restaurants.

The chef in your family will have access to a large kitchen and everything needed to prepare a great family meal or choose to grill on the deck overlooking the Bay. When the sun goes down and things move inside, its time to challenge family and friends to a game of corn hole or cards or enjoy a movie on one of the six large smart TVs.

The home is a short drive to all of the area attractions including: Rehoboth, Dewey, Fenwick Island and Ocean City, MD beaches, outlet shopping, brewery tours, golf, boating, jet skiing, fishing, amazing food and restaurants and so much more.

Girls Beach Weekend

This house was perfect for our girls beach weekend getaway. Plenty of room for all us to stay comfortably and the house has very nice furnishings which provide many living spaces. There are many porches, decks with views to enjoy and the location is prime. I highly recommend this property for any type of vacation and memories to make:)

Great Family Home

This large home is located in a quiet and secure neighborhood with beautiful views of the inlet! The pool is right next door, and the beach is close with lifeguards, convenient parking and bathrooms. The house is very spacious, has a fantastic layout, 3 king beds (which is not easy to find!), bunk room for kids, and 2 more queen rooms. (We put a baby in a pack 'n' play in one of these rooms.) There are plenty of spaces for congregating as well as to have some quiet time. The house is well-equipped with an elevator (great for unloading and loading), large smart TV's, extra refrigerator and beverage fridge, beach chairs, beach umbrella, etc... Owners were very responsive to inquiries, and they provided a detailed fact sheet which was very useful. Light switches and kitchen cabinets are labeled which was very helpful. I gave it a 4 for cleanliness, but this may have been due to the fact that we rented late in the season. This fact alone is outweighed by all of the positives, and we would rent this home again.

Fantastic and spacious house in Bethany Beach

We had a family gathering with 11 people, including 4 children ages 2-8. This house is so spacious, with 6 large bedrooms, each with its own bath, and 3 different floors. The third and fourth floors have a variety of gathering places along with several porches and decks. There is also a rooftop deck, from which one can see sunrises and sunsets -- very beautiful. The house is directly across from a pool, which was wonderful for the kids, who love the pool. The ocean is not an easy walking distance - close to .8 or .9 miles -- so if you are going with kids and bringing chairs, umbrellas and toys, you most likely will be using a car. Parking is $10 per day ($5 for Delaware residents) and once the car has a tag, you can leave and come back multiple times in the day. The beach is very pleasant. The owner has supplied 8 beach chairs and two beach umbrellas, along with boogie boards and tubes. Our family had a fabulous time, and cooked in every night but one, though there are many take-out options in Bethany for those who prefer not to cook. I would highly recommend this house for a large group -- very spacious and so many different areas to hang out.

Very lovely home in an outstanding location - please don't tell anyone else

It is wonderful that linens and towels are provided (you should note that beach towels are not included). Very well outfitted house which is extremely well organized and exactly as advertised. Our family enjoyed the many different areas where we could relax. The owner/manager was immediately accessible when we had a question.

Great house for fireworks!

This house was perfect for 3 families with teenage / adult children. Kids had to drive / Uber to Bethany Boardwalk but it was very easy. The house is huge with lots of decks and perfect if you are serious about corn hole. The eagle’s nest was the adults’ favorite spot with amazing, unobstructed views. We could watch 15 different fireworks on the 4th of July from the upper deck and some locals set some off in the neighborhood marina that were very impressive. Hosts were very friendly and in touch with us. Would stay here again!

Great place for a large group

So many bedrooms, bathrooms & hangout spots for a large family to enjoy both privacy and fun times spent together over meals & games. Super location next to the water for kayaking, plus the pool and pickleball courts are a few steps away. Rooftop deck was enjoyed daily for sunrises and sunsets. Biking trail nearby.

Couldn't ask for more from a beach house!

We've stayed at several different kinds of beach houses over the years and this is hands down the best one we've stayed at so far. The home is so well-appointed. There is truly something for everyone at this home. Whether you want to read or get some work done in the quiet library, watch a movie as a family in the main living area, play games in the game room, or sit and listen to the sound of the wildlife in the screen room (without being attacked by insects!), it truly does accommodate all kinds of guests. We really appreciated that everything was labeled in the kitchen, as well as the light switches. The check-in and check-out instructions were very clear. We are so happy we found this home and we cannot wait to come back next year!

Lovely long weekend with family

We loved this clean, well-kept home and the memories we made there. Being nature lovers, we especially enjoyed watching a fox around the marsh, all of the herons, and the spectacular sunrises and sunsets. There was plenty of space for our family group of 12 to eat, play games, and just have fun being together.

Outstanding Family Vacation

Our stay was wonderful. This beautiful house is much larger than even the photos show. It felt like we were on an island, paddle boarding and kayaking in the marsh and walking a short distance to the beach. Plenty of space for our family of eight. We especially loved being together on the back porch, listening to all the birds. What a great marsh view! Planning our vacation and communicating with the owners was incredibly easy. They truly worked around our schedule to accommodate us.

Family Celebration

My family had an amazing time, the home was very spacious with amazing views(just as beautiful as shown in the pictures). I gave this property a 5 because the home is amazing however, there was a strong mildew smell in the house and the vents in the ceiling had condensation. This may have been caused by the heat wave that came through the East Coast, not sure. But anyway the smell did fade some during our stay. Everyone enjoyed themselves and suggested we return during the holidays. Amazing floor plan with amazing views!!

Anniversary/vacation with the whole family

If you are looking for a place where your whole family can experience a family vacation - with all the comforts of home, then this is the place for you. We loved all the unique porch spaces, and the views. Especially loved the screened sun room and the roof top sunset space. We spent one whole evening playing games in the garage! Plenty to do, in this beautiful location (close to State Park and pristine local beaches). You won't be disappointed!

Loved it!

We have been coming to Bethany Beach for over 60 years. As a grandmother, with my adult children, living in different States, I still want my family to experience a week together in Bethany. This home is a wonderful place for just that! There was plenty of space so we all could spread out. We love the fact that it isn’t jammed in between homes. Also it is such a pleasure getting to experience the more natural setting of this home. The owners were wonderful to work with and genuinely seemed to care about the quality of the home. I would highly recommend this home.

Wonderful family house

Our stay in this beautiful home was so enjoyable! This was a family trip with three generations getting together. Jason went above and beyond as a host to make our stay perfect. We all agreed we’d stay here again anytime! The elevator was a huge help, especially for mom/grandma who doesn’t do stairs well. The sturdy wooden stool in the master was also helpful for her. There was plenty of room in the house for spreading out and also for gathering together. The kitchen was perfect for multiple people to work together making meals. One of our favorite spaces ended up being the sun room off the kitchen. We enjoyed the peacefulness and beauty of the community. It was nice to be at the beach without the noise and traffic of the Delaware beach towns. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great stay

Very happy I chose this home for a long weekend with friends. From start to finish, the owner was extremely responsive. This home is exactly as advertised, and more importantly, as pictured. There’s a ton of space, plenty of bathrooms and the many decks make the views and sunsets, spectacular . Our favorite was the rooftop, as well as the sun porch, after dark. The home was also squeaky clean. If the stars align, we’ll definitely be back next year.
