About this property

A Charming Beach Condo 3rd House from the Ocean

This charming 2 bedroom condo is only steps from the beach. Enjoy relaxing on the covered deck or take a stroll on the private beach. This 2 bedroom condo (known by beachgoers as the Green Dolphin) is very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. It is in a quaint community located in a building shared by only 3 other units. The full kitchen is bright and airy and the family room is spacious and cozy with a full-size pull out sofa bed and comfy chairs to relax in. One of the bedrooms has a queen size bed and the other bedroom has a trundle bunk bed.

The covered balcony is perfect for enjoying a family meal or just relaxing. It has a table, chairs and a beach view. There is also an outside shower and a separate footwash. Parking is available under the unit for one car and there is room in the driveway for another car. Mike's Fish Camp is a restaurant at the end of the street (very convenient) -it serves lunch and dinner.

The Green Dolphin is only three houses from the beach which provides a convenient and quick access to the private beach. Its great location offers quick access to downtown Bethany, Rehoboth, Dewey or Ocean City. It is close enough to access all of the excitement but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet.

There is a State Beach located adjacent to our beach which allows vehicles to drive on the beach and also allows fishing right from the beach. There are tons of activties for adults and kids just a few minutes away.

There are several grocery stores located with a 5-10 miles and don't forget all of the fabulous outlet shopping available in Rehobeth and the cute beach shops near the Bethany Boardwalk!

Bethany Beach is a very quiet beach community with a quaint downtown and a family atmosphere. Our community at Tower Shores offers all the ammenities of the beach towns but also a private beach and great location.

If you really want your vacation to be perfect, with a great location, friendly neighbors and a comfortable laid-back atmosphere, stay at the Green Dolphin.

Perfect week!

The house was exactly as described in the listing! We would definitely stay here again. Since the house is on the smaller side for our 4 adults, we used the outside porch quite a bit for eating and hanging out (there was a nice breeze) and took full advantage of the outside showers. This seemed to make the house feel more spacious and we weren't on top of each other. We spent most of the time at the beach which was a super quick walk away. Erin was great to work with and prompt in responding to questions.

Perfect girls getaway

I still can’t get over how lovely our stay was. We were literally a couple houses down from the beach (which was amazing) and close to shops. We all felt safe in the community and spent many nights sitting outside on the deck. Our condo neighbors were also super nice, so that was a plus!! The space was perfect for our group, and we would 100% go again:)

Can’t be beat!

Perfect spot to stay with 2 younger kids - 1 minute walk to the private, less crowded beach which allowed us to easily leave for lunch or snacks back at the house without having to pack everything up - quiet neighborhood but still only a short drive to both boardwalks. Easy communication with the host and a clean, comfortable place with a great outdoor deck for cocktails at night. We will definitely be back!

Great host communication

I had to give 4 stars on cleanliness only because the cleaning crew did not do a good job preparing the place for new guests, beds were not made and blankets and pillows were piled in the closet clearly used and not folded or ready, floors were not cleaned and counters had some food stuck to them as well. We communicated with the host and she immediately gave us access to some cleaning supplies and was very responsive through the whole start of our trip. After that it was all good. The apartment is so nicely set up, the porch furniture was comfortable and it is so close to the beach. Overall a 5 star experience with a slight blip for the cleanliness. Would stay there again though.

Perfect Place!

This was the perfect place for our family. Everything was very clean, very comfortable, and in very good condition. The covered porch is a great extra for just relaxing or for meals, and especially in case of rainy weather. During our stay two of the other three units were occupied by the friendly owners - the whole neighborhood is a very friendly place. And the house is less than a minute walk to the beach (and the beach had plenty of space to spread out safely in this time of social distancing). Thanks Erin, we hope to return this Fall!

Nice stay close to beach

We enjoyed our stay at Erin’s property. The location is great, an easy walk to the beach. The balcony area is bigger than it looked in pictures which was great for playing board games outside. It’s an easy drive to lots of restaurants in Bethany. I was surprised we needed to bring all our own linens and with the really high security deposit since I hadn’t had that before with VRBO places but maybe these are new policies. Overall, this was as advertised and we enjoyed the visit.

Just what we needed

Thank you for a wonderful week. We love the Tower Shores private beach community-much quieter than in town and so convenient to walk back to the house if we needed a break or grab lunch. We spent most of our days at the beach with excursions into Bethany and Rehoboth and the outlets. All an easy drive away. We loved having meals or hanging out on the deck. The condo had everything we needed. We hope to be back! Thank you again!

Great Long Weekend Get-Away Spot

Our family went for a long weekend to decompress. The house/condo was just as you see it in the pictures. Nice size for the four of us for the weekend - may be a little small for more than four adults. The outside patio was great - comfortable furniture and we could see the waves come crashing in between the houses lining the beach! Erin was great with communications and the condo is decorated tastefully and it was very clean. Matt's restaurant at the end of the street was really convenient. The Bethany Boardwalk only a short drive. Best of all was the beach - so close! Looking forward to the next time we can go.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Schaible

Host profile image
Lance and I live and work in Virginia but come to the beach as much as we can. We have 3 kids who love coming down here to hang out at the beach and visit their grandparents. We all enjoy boating and fishing and the kids love to skim board and just hang out at the beach.

Why they chose this property

We choose Bethany because the kid's grandparents moved here and we wanted the kids to be able to come down and visit their grandparents as much as possible. We choose our condo in Tower shores because of the location and proximity to the beach. We fell in love with the community and have abeen enjoying it for over 20 years.

What makes this property unique

The best benefit is the private beach and how close it is! Our beach never gets as crowded as the public beaches and it is very clean.

The community is also nicely maintained and has a small community feel which we love.
