About this property

Luxury Bayfront-1/4 blk to ocean; pool; grill; pickle ball EARLY SPRING specials

At the intersection of waterfront and luxury, your vacation home awaits. Perfect 3,300 sq. ft. bay front home with fantastic water views from every room nestled in gated, 21 home community. Two master suites, upgraded finishes. Enjoy gas grill, multiple decks, whirlpool tubs, commercial grade wireless internet and lots of flat screens. Please go to "Amenities" tab, click and scroll down to: "360 Degree Virtual Video Tour" & "Interactive Floor Plan" to get best perspective of this extraordinary property.

This is home base for those who languish by the pool, want steps to the unspoiled beach or seek a water oriented setting. Come with high expectations.

The house is offered on a limited basis, primarily during the peak season and select holiday periods. It is maintained to the standards of a second home, not a public vacation rental. We not only maintain, but return a large portion of rental income each year to improve the home and our client's experience stay.

Start your day in the bay front, screened in porch area, enjoying your beverage while watching the waterfowl play in the bay.

A large kitchen with island creates not only an easy stop for breakfast, but a gathering place - coupled with the open floor plan, every seat in the public areas of the first floor enjoy the unspoiled bayfront view through four sliding glass doors.

A new composite deck system spans the entire rear of the home, making for the perfect barbeque lunch - of course, gas grill and propane furnished and ready.

Chaise lounges and bistro tables supplement the outside seating for everyone's use throughout the day.

Not one, but two oversized master bedrooms each with king sized beds and walk in closets are available to the guests - each with their own private bathroom.

Second floor, front bedrooms enjoy the tranquility of a natural lagoon within 50 feet of the home. Throughout the day, birds and other wildlife are seen in their natural habitat.

We hope we have thought of everything ... So our guests never have a disappointment, a beach buggy, complete with cooler, large storage area and rack with five beach chairs are available for guest use. While only 250 steps from the home to the unspoiled beach, you may also concede to the large, uncrowded pool located within a one-minute walk of the home. Plenty of chaise lounges, tables and sunbrellas along with professional landscaping offer a lazy oasis from reality.

The community supports only 21 luxury homes, so amenities are never crowded. Our home sits on nearly a one-half acre parcel, with large, professionally manicured rear year - perfect for volleyball or any family oriented game.

The proximity to the towns of Bethany, Dewey and Rehoboth are reachable by bike or by vehicle and support the lifelines of McDonalds as well as one of a kind bistros and casual, fine dining venues.

Delaware is home to tax free shopping and the three large outlet malls offer plenty of upscale furnishings, designer clothing (Michael Kors, Coach, Underarmor to name a few).

The Indian River inlet marina offers:
- charter boat fishing
- launch for private vessels and watercraft
- a marina store where you can choose the catch coming off the boat, have it filleted and bring it home for dinner with minutes.

Expect more when you are our guests. We provide all paper products (paper towels and t-paper) as well as hand soap, dishwasher and detergent.

While we do not generally greet our Guests, we are personally onsite during turnover between Guests to supervise cleaning, make repairs as reported by departing Guests and deal with any unique matters so you begin your stay problem and care free.

Lovely house with great location and views
We took our sons, grandchildren and my elderly mom to the beach the week of May 20th and really had a great time. Lovely, well stocked house, with great views was very comfortable. The neighborhood is safe and was perfect for teaching our grandson to ride a bike. The beach is 1 minute drive with ample parking. The homeowner was responsive and helpful. We would go again.

Wonderful Water Front Property.
The photos did not capture how spacious and open the home is. Truly, this is a beautiful property. Stunning views thought out. It was very clean. The location is perfect. We were able to go down to Ocean City, Fenwick, and up to Rehoboth with no traffic issues and come back to the quiet retreat that is this area. Having the use of beach gear was such a help and being a very short walk (doable with over 4 children all under the age of 10) from the beach was lovely. We would book this property again in a heartbeat. The owners take great care of it and it shows.

Beautiful spot
The location has a beautiful view of a bay for watching the wildlife right in the backyard. We enjoyed the home cooked meals made in the well equipped kitchen. The beach across the highway is not over crowded at all. Enjoyed the community pool too. Close to the Bethany Beach town center for shopping and ice cream. Made the short trip to OC Maryland and Fenwick Island for some other excursions. Bedrooms all have private bathrooms/toilets. House is open and spacious for everyone’s comfort. Enjoyed our stay here immensely!

Just About Perfect!
We have just returned from a special week at this great beach house. There were ten of us, ranging in age from 5 to 75 and it was perfect for each. Two of the adults had to work remotely for part of the time, but their views from the deck while working were lovely. Plenty of room to spread out. Well equipped kitchen. Quick stroll to the community pool. Walkable to the beach, although with caution crossing the road. Beautiful community.The owner always responded promptly to questions or concerns.

Great family friendly option
This was our second stay at this house We had plenty of space, both shared and private for three generations. The house has a nice water view from the large screened porch just off the kitchen and from one of the upstairs bedrooms (unfortunately not the master, although it also has a decent view including of sunset). The house is well stocked. The location allows easy travel to either Bethany or Rehoboth. The community swimming pool is near the house and is clean and never crowded. In an extra nice touch, the homeowner supplies many household necessities including things like handsoap, toilet tissue, dish soap, etc. We paid the reasonable fee charged for linens and the beds were made up in advance with soft, comfortable sheets, something we have experienced in other places but never before in Rehoboth. The towels included in the fee were full sized, soft and fluffy. The owner provided clear and complete information and instructions and even included a checkout form for communicating anything needing attention and indicating any supplies needing to be replenished. This impressed us as a real effort to maintain the many things that made the house a comfortable, easy home base for our family.

Peaceful Sanctuary
The property was exactly as described. We enjoyed peace and quiet and plenty of space. The screened-in porch and the view of the water was amazing. The home was well-stocked with everything we needed. The location was drivable to Dewey, Bethany, Rehoboth, Fenwick Island, and Ocean City. There was not much to do in walking distance. The walk to the beach wasn’t long, but we had to cross a major highway without a pedestrian walk. It wasn’t an issue for 6 adults. The beach was not crowded at all. We did not use the pool, but we never saw anyone in it. Bob always responded promptly. We would strongly recommend this property.

Last week of summer
We had a wonderful stay the last week of August. 2 families with kiddos 6 and 9. Gated community is beautiful overlooking the bay on both sides very short walk to the pool (saltwater!), that we had to ourselves most of the time. The walk to the beach was a bit longer than expected, crossing a busy 4 lane highway with little ones wasn't ideal but there were decent brakes in traffic so wasn't horrible. The house was beautiful, kitchen was well equipped and stocked with everything you would need, bedrooms comfortable, id suggest bringing your own alarm clocks if you have kids that need to know when its ok to get up. 4 adults and 4 kids had a great week away at this beautiful home! Thank you for sharing it with us.

We had a great time in this lovely home. Everything you read in the reviews and descriptions is definitely accurate. Bob is very easy to deal with and responsive. The home is well taken care of. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch with the view of the bay and everyone spent many hours there.. the children also thoroughly enjoyed having a pool to themselves almost all week long and being able to go back and forth from pool to beach is a HUGE perk.

Perfect Family Rental
A beautiful, immaculate and spacious property. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our get together, after 18 months of being apart, due to COVID. The location of the property is ideal, with the bay and the ocean so close by. The owners have taken great care to be sure you have the essentials needed, for a great stay. I highly recommend this home as a vacation getaway. The owners are very pleasant and easy to communicate with.

Unforgettable paradise
We had an amazing week! We enjoyed the house, the pool, the beach and the Bethany/Rehoboth boardwalk. The beach is absolutely perfect with the inlet of water that is made from the tide for our little ones to play in. We rented a pontoon boat for a morning in Fenwick Island, which was also a beautiful area! The house has everything you need and more, and the screened in porch was so enjoyable! We hope to return one day!

About the host

Hosted by Bob and Cindi

Host profile image
Having searched for years, we found the perfect vacation setting at The Cove in North Bethany.

Unlike anything else, we hope you appreciate the uniqueness of a small, gated community with amenities of those many times the size. Unlike many owners, we don't substitute lesser furniture, kitchen accommodations or other comforts during the rental season.

The home having never been previously rented should be enjoyed by our guests as a second home, not a tired public vacation rental.

Please hold us accountable. During the turnover of the property (after the prior tenant has departed and before your arrival), not only is the property professionally cleaned by a hand picked group of professionals, but the owners are on site for the purpose of oversight of cleanliness, making repairs as necessary and guaranteeing perfection prior to your arrival.

We know this may be your only vacation for the year. The home is complimented with small touches which help to make memories, enhance family member relationships and add to your overall Bethany experience.

After you depart, we will politely ask you to provide comments to support our focus to make your vacation experience nothing less than exceptional. We measure our success based upon guest feedback and rate of guest future bookings.

Why they chose this property

The community itself is a unique enclave of 21 luxury homes of which only a small percentage are offered for rental. Our home exploits not only the resources of the community, but how our home compliments a family friendly, diverse activity environment.

With nearly one-half acre of land including a huge manicured rear lawn for activities including what may become your annual family volleyball challenge; wiffle ball, frisbee, corn hole or the ultimate touch football pickup game.

A rear deck spanning the entire width of the property, offering uninterrupted, panoramic view of the bay - the perfect gathering place for guests to end their day. Compliment this vantage point with a paddle fan cooled, screened in porch where those who wish to escape with their beach reading material are taking full advantage of this hideaway.

If you feel any activity to get to the pool or beach is a major undertaking, count on our accommodations to make it (almost) enjoyable. The huge pool, a one-minute walk from the house, is rarely crowded and the generous landscaped sun deck surrounding the pool makes for a true memory making destination. Abundant chaise lounge chairs, tables with sunbrellas are available also for our Guests' enjoyment. Clean restrooms at the pool house offer convenience and are complimented with the on-site gym. The pool features a large shallow area for smaller children (parental supervision always required).

For the athletic, a half court basketball venue is adjacent to the pool as is a regulation sized har-tru tennis court. Bring your cell phone and capture video and pics of your family at play in the truest sense.

Copy/paste for interactive virtual tour: http://tours.obeo.com/default?section=ifloorplan&tourid=1011884

What makes this property unique

Satisfaction of your personal needs:

For the sun loving family, a beach cart fully equipped with cooler, storage and one half dozen beach chairs for your use to easily migrate across one street and onto the unspoiled beach.

For the water oriented, bring your kayak and launch from within the community. Power boaters and watercraft owners can launch from the Indian River marina less than a mile away - providing direct access to the bay and ocean.

Runners and bicycle enthusiasts will appreciate the wide shoulders and flat, scenic paths just outside the community gates.

Nature lovers will embrace the home's view of the naturally formed lagoon within 50 feet of the home attracting numerous water fowl, large and small.

The adventurous will love the close proximity to several beach towns each with their own character:

Ocean City, Maryland - high energy night life, bustling and walk around food abound with a huge 20+ block boardwalk;

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - a seaside, cottage filled town with a quaint retail area of small shops peppered with bistros and beach bars. Just outside the town are three strip malls filled with gourmet shops, upscale clothing and the finest in home accents at outlet pricing.

Dewey Beach, Delaware - a town with attitude attracting plenty of young, single partygoers complimented with a number of competitive and fund raising 5k, marathon and triathalon events.
