About this property

RATES LOWERED for MAY and EARLY JUNE! THIS IS THE ONE! Sleeps 11! Private Beach!

The Yellow Submarine is the perfect house at the beach! and RATES HAVE JUST BEEN LOWERED for May and EARLY JUNE!

The first level is an open floor plan (smart TV, dining table (seats 6-8), kitchen island, full kitchen) Best of all...there is a LARGE screened-in porch...a perfect 'room' at the beach!

Three of the four bedrooms are on the first level. Two share a half bathroom (small rooms with one double bed each) and the third one (king) has its own half bath and sliding glass doors to the front porch. Each bedroom has its own TV. There is a separate shower room on the main level for all to use.

The second level has a full bath, a large bedroom (two queen beds & TV) and a loft which doubles as a living room during the day and '5th sleeping area' at night (queen sleep sofa)

The house also has a roll-a-way cot (single) for an extra sleeping spot.

The roof top balcony/deck is a perfect place for the kids to hang out or for anyone to enjoy some outdoor SUN time.

Enjoy wireless internet throughout the house!

Outside. . enjoy the 1/2 acre yard, screened-in porch, picnic table, corn hole, charcoal grill and ENCLOSED OUTDOOR SHOWER!

Renting The Yellow Submarine gives you full rights to the PRIVATE BEACH for your entire stay. Middlesex Beach is a guarded beach . . and only those with passes may be on the beach (The Yellow Submarine comes with beach passes!!) There will be no problem finding a prime spot in the sand.
The Yellow Submarine is 2 blocks from the beach and you can walk it in approx. 5 minutes. You also have the option of driving and using the parking passes that we provide. Since only those with passes are allowed in. . . there is NEVER a problem finding a parking spot.

YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO GO TO A CROWDED BEACH AGAIN!!!

The privacy extends to the house and yard too! You will be nestled on a dead end street. . among the trees(for privacy). . . cars do not park on the side of the road. . you can take walks, ride bikes. . . it's nothing like any other place at the beach!! (yet you are steps away from all that the beach offers!! (mini golf, boardwalk, restaurants, stores, etc))

In less than two minutes you can walk to Moe's Deli, McDonald's, Bethany Seafood, Dollar General, a chinese restaurant and more!

For more information, just click on 'inquire about this property' below and ask! NOTE- you must provide your own linens at the Yellow Submarine.

Best Vacation Home

We had the best time ever at the yellow submarine, having stayed in the fenwick/bethany area before, this house made the trip so special. It was comfortable and cozy and in such a great location. We absolutely loved the screened in porch, spent a lot of time out there. We will definitely be returning, can't wait for next summer :)

Great Escape

We love this property! We have gone here for 3 years now and just absolutely love it! Even though it's not right on the beach, we love the location. The street is not busy at all so our younger kids can enjoy riding bikes, etc while also being in a very convenient spot. The beach is still just a short walk away.

Nice home. Great location. Owner is very easy to deal with and very responsive.

Bethany Beach is a great location. Lots to do in the area. Highly recommend visiting Berlin ... the town is so quaint. Assateague Island was beautiful and we actually saw some wild horses. Don't miss out eating at Arenas Deli - delicious.

Loved Everything About This Place!!

What a gem! We loved every minute of our time at the Yellow Submarine. From its close proximity to the beach to its light and airy living space to its well-appointed kitchen to its amazing screened in porch (oh my goodness, the porch), we were head over heels about this place. The ability to drive our aging parents down to the private beach and park close (even though it’s only a 5 minute walk) was invaluable. We hope to come back next year and make more memories. Thank you, Carol, for everything!!

Couldn't ask for a better place to stay in Bethany Beach

Had the most amazing time with family at the Yellow Submarine! The house fit us perfectly and the kitchen was well stocked. The private beach was just a few steps away and made the experience so enjoyable. Carol was super responsive during the whole trip. We will be back next year!

Ideal beach house

This is our third year staying at the Yellow Submarine. It never disappoints. The location is perfect. The private beach is a 4 minute walk. The neighborhood is private with very friendly people. Carol is a great host and replies within minutes of any questions or concerns. The kitchen is well stocked with a large refrigerator. There is another refrigerator on the porch which is so helpful for beverages. We used the grill almost every night and ate on the large table on the porch oasis. Such a delightful vacation.

Hidden Gem on Bethany Beach

Spent 11 nights at The Yellow Submarine. My children and grandchildren joined us for a long weekend. What a great family house. Lots of open space, screened in porch was great, very well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and great showers. My grandchildren loved the outdoor shower!! It is like staying in a cabin in the mountains...passing everyday was a family of deer- and a short walk to the beach- best of both worlds. Carol was very quick with responses and the private beach....perfect. Thank you Carol for sharing your lovely beach house!!

another great week

This is our second summer staying at the Yellow Submarine. This rental does not disappoint. Ideal neighborhood for children. The house is well equipped for entertaining both children and adults. Of course the screened-in porch is the best place to just hang with the family. The ceiling fans keep it cool enough for enjoyment. All of the above and more including the private beach just 5 minutes walking distance. We hope that we are able to rent again next year. Linda and David

Terrible Host Experience

I hate to write a negative review and took extra time to cool off after what happened to us at this property. We had family visiting from overseas. Their biggest wish was to spend some time at the beach. So we spend hours looking for a house to accommodate our large group and ended booking this property in May for an August vacation. By the time we arrived it was fully paid for. Yet after driving 5 hours with children, one with sever disability, we found another family unpacking when we arrived at the house. We contacted the host who confirmed they double booked us and that they would try to find us another place to stay. Then they followed up that Vrbo would find us another house. Vrbo put us in a hotel splitting the family into 5 separate rooms. They said they would book us a different house but they never did. They sent us a few links to other Vrbo properties that were much farther away from the beach. We had to find our own accommodation last minute even though we had planned, prepared, and paid for this property. I ended up booking a house through another service that apparently better safeguards against situations like these and where I have never heard let alone experience a double booking. Sure,they refunded us right away and the host offered a restaurant gift card. But we had a group of 9 stuck at the height of the season without a place to stay. Cancellation reason the host provided was propery damage/natural distater which is simply untrue and proves dishonesty.

Property is well-kept. Owners are responsive if there are issues. (There were none, but have dealt with a small concern previously). Tremendous location, tucked away in the trees but a short walk to the beach or short drive to boardwalks, restaurants and shopping.

Perfect beach getaway

Yellow Submarine was terrific. We especially enjoyed the large screened in porch after a day on the private beach. It seemed everything was a short walk away. The neighborhood was quiet and the accommodations very comfortable. Well appointed kitchen was also appreciated. This is a great home for a family to enjoy. We would definitely go back.

perfect beach home

Location is perfect. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Really only steps to the beach. Its private and you really don't know how lucky you are sitting on that beach until you look at the nonprivate beaches and see the crowds. Plus you feel safe. Lots of families with young kids. Very pleasing to watch them play in the sand. The house is such a cute home. Theme is beachy and the yellow is soothing. The house stands out in the neighborhood. The kitchen is well stocked. We didn't need to bring anything. Love the lay out. Plenty of room to cook and entertain at the same time. Was able to keep an eye on the grandkids while they watched TV when preparing a meal. We sat in the porch most of the time. Plenty of space for eating and doing puzzles. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom showers were fine. Lots of games and books to keep the family entertained. Nice yard to play bean bag toss. Carol was a gem. She was always available however we really didn't need her because everything was in working order. We will be back. Hopefully next year.

Great location for a low stress beach getaway

We loved being a bit away from the bustle of Bethany. This a well-maintained older beach house in a great location, easy to get to everything. We loved being on a private beach with plenty of space to spread out, maintain social distancing, and easy parking. The kitchen has everything you need and everything is in working order. The washer and dryer seemed bigger than the usual stacking unit. There are hooks EVERYWHERE which was awesome, and plenty of seating space inside and outside on the screened-in porch. Check in was super easy and the owners left great directions so we could figure out how everything worked.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Paul

Host profile image
The Yellow Submarine is owned by Steve & Carol Paul (we also own (and rent) The Yacht-Sea Beach House on the same street (8 Errett Rd)

Why they chose this property

We purchased The Yellow Submarine after years of loving Middlesex Beach! We have been vacationing (renters ourselves!) in Middlesex since 1987. Once we found the private beach, we couldn't go to any other beach! Our children have grown up being allowed to play frisbee, surf and run freely on an uncrowded beach. We also came to love the privacy offered from the 1/2 acre yards in Middlesex. We have tried to make The Yellow Submarine a Renter's Dream by adding all the things we wished were at the numerous houses we rented over the years (and by copying the things we LOVED at those other rentals too) Middlesex Beach is our favorite place in the world!

What makes this property unique

My husband's favorite thing is that we park our cars when we arrive and get the bikes out. Our kids love to bike to the end of the street and buy ice cream after dinner. They also love biking to the boardwalk. Our younger nieces and nephews love the dead end street where they are allowed to bike and play ball in the middle of the road! We love that we can walk and bike up to Summer Salt's Bar & Grille for wings and drinks! My parents love the fine dining in the area (Blue Coast, Parkway, Sedona's & More). The kids love biking to Candy Kitchen, the Dollar Store, Chinese food and the beach supply store. Mostly we love that, in Middlesex, we are secluded! Every night we fix our beach drinks, turn on the tiki lights on the porch and press play on the beach CD...then sit back, relax and smile!
