First timers

This was our first time vacationing in Delaware, and I could not be happier with our decision to stay in Bethany Beach. The house was immaculate, location was perfect; close enough to the center of town but off the main stream of traffic. The house was perfect! Spacious, clean, organized and comfortable. Property managers were extremely receptive, and made check in / check out quick and simple. We will definitely be back and plan on renting this house again!! Thank you for your hospitality

Summer Fun

We had an amazing time in this home. Closeness to trolley was wonderful and the house was beautifully updated. We received the best news in this house that our oldest son and his wife are expecting their first child. We will definitely rent again next year and we will be having an additional guest God willing. Bethany Beach has been our "second home" for the past 25 years and this house has been our favorite so far. Thank you Rae Ann for sharing your home with us !!

Wonderful home!

This Bethany home is beautiful and relaxing. The kitchen has all the appliances, cookware, service ware, and spices you could need. I always bring a bag of items when I rent a house, but didn’t need any of them! The house accommodates family together time in the living room and game room with large TVs, but also solo time on the several porches. I appreciate that they supply the sheets and towels, etc. From the moment you walk up the steps into the house, you can relax. The location truly is perfect with several great restaurants and the Bethany Nature Center trail within easy walking distance. We walked to the beach a couple times, but could’ve taken the trolley or used the provided beach pass.

About the host

Hosted by Rae Ann S Johnson

Host profile image
Our family – Mom, Dad, and two teenagers – have enjoyed coming to Bethany since the kids were toddlers. Bethany is the perfect family beach town – it’s quaint, it has a small boardwalk with good food and shopping, and even a great bookstore for browsing. It’s perfect for kids and teens too with a manageable walk to ice cream, mini-golf, toy shops, and surf shops – and we feel comfortable letting our kids/teens explore some on their own. They like that part!

Overall, we love the small town charm of Bethany. The beach, boardwalk and town are big enough to explore and enjoy for a week. There are great restaurants. Golf is nearby. And, it’s quick and easy to get to three other beaches if you want a change of scenery – Rehoboth, Dewey, and Ocean City. Plus, if you’re here for a guys’ trip or a girls’ getaway, there are several good golf courses (so my husband and son say), and plenty of tax-free shopping at the Rehoboth Outlets!

Why they chose this property

This house is perfect because it’s central to everything “Bethany.” After nearly 15 years of visiting Bethany, we purposefully chose the “Tingle Neighborhood” because it is walkable & "Trolley-able" to the beach, central to the town, yet quiet and near the canal. It has 5 outdoor spaces to enjoy with family and friends after a long day of beaching or exploring. We also *love* that we (or the kids) can walk to Grotto’s pizza (a must-have for anyone visiting Bethany!), Rita’s ice cream, and DiFebo’s Italian restaurant (great place for a hearty Italian family meal).

What makes this property unique

The house is light, bright and open with lots of space to gather the large group. Yet, there are many private spaces too -- 2 private balconies, an enclosable game/TV room, and a screened-in porch -- where couples, friends or small groups can gather for more "getaway moments."

We also provide BED LINENS FREE OF CHARGE because we know what it's like to either haul your own or pay the equivalent of a houseful of sheets for "renting" them. You're on vacation for a reason -- to not be worrying about sheets!

Plus, we purposefully refreshed the house with a much larger, eco-friendly kitchen to allow for larger cooking nights. And, we included several extra safety measures -- such as the induction stove that is never hot to the touch and safety "push-up / pull-down" blinds with no hanging cords -- to keep kids safer and give families one less thing to worry about on vacation.
