Wonderful stay
We enjoyed our off-season week in October at this lovely house. It was well-equipped and my husband and I and our dog had plenty of room inside. Especially nice was the backyard, which is on a canal. We really enjoyed sitting out there in the sunshine and watching beautiful sunsets. Inside, the only downside was that we weren't able to use the fireplace because there is a crack in the liner. It would have been nice to have a fire during the chilly nights. We're looking forward to returning to this home! Owner was very responsive when we had questions/concerns.

This is a very nice home and property. Very relaxing and quiet. I don't have anything negative to say about this rental. The owner is very nice and responsive. I love being able to have my boat tied up at the private dock. Nice ramp for kayaks and small boats. We're definitely going back.

Perfect dog friendly location!
This property was large enough for our family to enjoy some bonding time but also to retreat to significant bedroom space on the 2nd floor. The best part was the screened in porch looking over the canal - we spent much of our time out there. The kitchen was large and the walk to the dog friendly part of the beach was perfect.

Disappointing
This property needs work both inside and outside. Outdated and appliances are old. Screen doors need replacing .Screened in porch furniture was dirty and full of pollen . I needed to wipe it down . The propane tank was empty and it was suppose to be full. We managed to have a great time at the beach. The location is convenient. This house is not worth the asking price.

Amazing Memories - STAY HERE!!!
We absolutely LOVED staying at Phyllis’ house in South Bethany. It’s a spectacular location! We brought our kayaks and made great use of them, paddling straight from the front yard! Our kids loved seeing boats go by on the canal and waving to them from the many porches. Getting to the beach was easy - a 10 min walk or a 2 min drive. The S Bethany beach parking passes made it a breeze. South Bethany is a fantastic, peaceful, quiet beach with a TON of shells for the kids to okay with. And on your way to the beach you can pick up a delicious corned beef pastrami sandwich from the new Rosenfeld’s Deli that just opened up on the corner! The house is a phenomenal layout for family gatherings. We had lots of family and friends stop by - the open floor plan, the game table (yes we played lots of games, thank you!), the bar - which we set up as a permanent snack bar - made it such a fun, easy place to entertain. Phyllis was incredibly helpful and kind. She was very responsive. The only thing that could have improved our experience is that two of the bedrooms have windows overlooking the interior living room - which would be fine except there is no glass there - just a set of shutters that don’t seal off the noise. So we could hear our kids and our parents in the living room playing as early as 7am. It wasn’t possible to sleep late in this house with little kids. Regardless I would definitely come back to Phyllis’ house. It was a magical experience being there!

About the host

Hosted by Phyllis Martin

Host profile image
Owner and her dogs enjoying the beach at nearby (walk-to from house) Fenwick Island State Park.

Why they chose this property

Our main requirement was the boat ramp. Love to be on the water and explore the back bays by boat, cruise to local restaurants and tie up for lunch/dinner, watch the sunsets from the decks and watch the ducks that frequent the canal. All this, plus just a short walk to the beach. A second key reason is the proximity to the state park (just to the South) where we can enjoy the beach with our dogs. The third reason was the quiet location at the southern edge of Bethany --- away from it all, yet still very close.

What makes this property unique

Great for the dogs! Walk to state park where they are allowed 24 hours a day. Walk to McCabe's Gourmet Market for morning coffee and breakfast --- patio is dog friendly and they always come with us! Watching the ducks swim by from the decks or screened porch is a favorite pastime of mine, and boating/kayaking in the canals and bay is great.
