About this property

Bayfront location yet 250 steps to ocean. Huge pool; 2 masters; 6 parking spaces

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.

Great house for family time in Bethany Beach

The house is spacious with lots of common living space, outdoor deck seating, and screened in porch seating, all of which we used at different times of our stay. Each bedroom has a bathroom which is also a big plus. The kitchen is stocked with the basics and the big kitchen table is terrific for eating as well as for just gathering. The property manager was accessible, responsive, and helpful both before and during our stay. We lucked out with great weather which added to us all enjoying our stay. What you see is what you get and this is a fabulous place to stay for a fun and enjoyable visit to Bethany Beach. Thank you!

Beautiful home on the bay - perfect for group getaways

We very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely bayfront home. The house worked out wonderfully for our annual weekend getaway with four couples. Each couple had their own room/bathroom, and the Great Room/Kitchen/Living area was perfect for the group. We didn't get to enjoy the outdoor patio/dining area due to rainy weather throughout the weekend, but it's a lovely set up!

Family Beach Vacation

The house was nicely maintained, a well stocked and had quality appliances. We especially liked the generous amount of common area space inside and outside (deck & screened in porch) to accommodate our large group. The community facilities were also very nice, especially the pool. Views of the bay were wonderful. It was much nicer than any previous rental properties we have used. Bob was quickly responsive to any questions or issues that arose. The only drawback was the highway crossing to get to the beach was quite busy at times without a crossing light though it might have been worse during the July 4th week. Overall we were very happy with the vacation rental.

Thumbs up!

This home wa lovely and welcoming. We had a great time during our week at the beach. We love having access to the pool as well as the beach. Had a great dinner at Matt's Fish camp almost across from us on Route 1. Otherwise the kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals at the beach house.

Superb Property

I booked this property for a long three-day weekend with friends. The home is in a beautiful location on Rehobeth Bay- just a few minutes away from the ocean. Bob does a wonderful job communicating about details of the property and any logistics vacationers should know. I could not recommend this place more.

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.

Lovely place in the sun.

Our rental was an excellent opportunity to get together with our family after being confined for so long. The neighborhood felt safe and expanded our world. We rented kayaks from Coastal Kayak for the week enjoying the bay and wildlife. Our only dissappointment was the pool not being open. Hopefully the neighborhood association figured out how to open safely.

Wonderful, pictures don't do it justice

My husband and I and several friends rented this house between Christmas and New Years. The pictures don't do it justice! It's well stocked with a beautiful view, and the "feel" of the house is spacious, yet informal. The perfect spot for us to "commune" or be solitary and just relax and read.

Fantastic Family Getaway!

Our family enjoyed a tremendous week at Water's Edge. The house was spacious and well accommodated for our family of 10 (plus the new baby). Beautiful views on both sides, but relaxing on the back deck after dinner, watching the bay go to sleep, was a favorite activity of the week. The house was convenient to the beach, and the pool/tennis courts were never crowded and presented a great alternative for the little kids. From start to finish, the owner was extremely helpful and a sincere pleasure to work with - we were able to focus on enjoying our vacation. Thanks, Bob!

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.

The Kopp Family Vacation

Our family has always vacationed at the beach, since I was a child and I must say this was the best location for our family. Our family vacation consisted of a total of 7, 2 adults and 5 children, ranging from 7-16. The bed and bath accommodations were perfect. The rooms are very spacious, the number of bathrooms were plentiful. The location is perfect, the water view was very serene, the deck allowed for extra space and additional space for dinner time, however the kitchen also had everything we needed, including a table large enough for our family. The home was meticulously cleaned and maintained, there were extra beach chairs and toys and an umbrella, which was very convenient. The pool was a nice size, not overly crowded and was very convenient. I would highly recommend this home to anyone considering a nice relaxing vacation, but wanting the comfort and convenience of feeling at home. I will be booking again this year and every year thereafter. The owners were very accessible for questions and very responsive to our needs. The towel service was just a nice added extra. Thank you for allowing us to make memories in your home and at your beach.

Annual All Girls Weekend

We have finally found what we've been looking for over the past 39 years. This house was absolutely perfect for our annual girls trip. Five of us have spent a weekend together every single year since we graduated from college in 1979 and the older we get, the nicer accommodations we need. This was it. A bedroom for each of us. A bathroom for each of us. And plenty of socializing room on the main floor. Everything is top quality and comfortable and the owners couldn't have been nicer. We were there in November, so the temperatures weren't quite beach-worthy, but we could easily imagine how lovely it would be to sit out on one of the decks and watch the water in nicer weather. Sadly, my spouse will suffer from my weekend in Bethany Beach as my new life goal is to have a bathroom exactly like the one in the upstairs master bedroom. And I won't rest until I get it. Or maybe, I'll just go back every year for my fix. Thank you Bob and Cindi for sharing your home with us!

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.

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.

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.
