About this property

Our Bethany Beach home sits on a point of land extending into the Indian River Bay at the Indian River Inlet. It is a multi floor condo with three totally private bedrooms and bathrooms. There is also a semi private 4th bedroom that has a full private bath and is a loft with an opening overlooking the kitchen.

It is our home for many weeks of the year and we initially open up the calendar so many others can enjoy the water of the Inlet, the water of the bay with gorgeous sunsets and an 82 slip marina on the third side.

The fourth side is the access point from the Indian River Bridge- Route 1, going out to the Atlantic Ocean .8 mile away. Walking to the beach, you will go past the community (South Shore Marina) tennis court and the clubhouse and outdoor heated pool. Passing through the gate you will walk along the inlet and watch all the boats and fishermen casting for their dinner. Closer to the bridge is the Delaware State Park with restroom facilities and The Big Chill entertainment center. The state park has a 600 space parking lot that costs around $10 a day for parking. Get ready for the beach as it is beautiful and lifeguarded in season.

Back at the condo, you will find all beds made up along with bath towels and ready to go. Go up half flights to each bedroom and enter the 20 x 20 kitchen with a huge table and chairs or step out onto the balcony and overlook all the comings and goings of the fishing fleet. Better yet walk down and meet them as they love to talk. Or rent a charter and go out fishing for the big ones.

The living room is about 20 x 20 and has a walkout balcony to enjoy the bay, especially the sunsets or since the tides constrict at the inlet, enjoy the water sounds as they rush by. During the morning dolphins will play along the jetty or in the inlet. Come dinnertime the heron will stalk its prey in front of your eyes. The seal may come up on the rocks out front if the birds are not carpeting the jetty. Look up and see all the planes going overhead up and down the coast or heading to Europe.

Beyond the jetty will be shallow areas where boaters pull up and have their bar-b-ques fired up. See who forgets the tide left their boat high and dry!

With free private WIFI, flatscreens in every room and spectacular sunsets, the garage which will accommodate one Lexus size car and two cars facing the garage, you will be very sad to leave. In fact 45% of those leaving want to reserve the same week next year which reduces the number of openings to new people.

ALL WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER ARE SATURDAY TO SATURDAY....but it never hurts to inquire at the last minute about a shorter stay and if available we can make changes in the VRBO platform to accommodate your needs.

We will send you emails about Assateague, the lookout towers, many fine restaurants, places to shop, and other amenities in the area along with our 16 page custom Welcome Manual. It answers virtually every question we have been asked since 2012.

Be sure to read the reviews for this home and our second ocean front condo 5 miles South in Sea Colony, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo on the 5th floor. So altogether we have over 140 families who have taken the time to write really interesting reviews telling about their vacations. See vrbo.com/461838. Please read them as they show we are very serious about cleanliness, taking care of our guests and replacing things that need attention. Hope to see you! Chad and Rosanne

Note- There is a stair climber that is available for rent during your week so if anyone has trouble with stairs they can use it and join in on the fun.

Hopefully you can follow this YouTube video for a narrative of the home. Please paste the below copy on Youtube and see the most comprehensive video ever posted of this South Shore Marina Townhome https://youtu.be/YJDEnsf_iVA
or you can Google New Video tour of 35 Marina View Court South Shore Marina 12/11/23 and the video should come up right away. Yes, it is very complete and we spent a lot of time getting it ready and thank you for watching it.
So go back to the platform, select your dates, see the total cost and press the book it button. Don't worry because if you make a mistake we can correct it.

Just what we needed :)

My family and I had a great stay! We particularly loved the view of the sunsets each night and the short drive over to the beach- The Big Chill was fun also with incredible views of the sunset/ocean and bridge. It is a short drive to several other great restaurants/seafood. Our kids had fun crabbing and catching a few keeper flounder just out the back door. Thank you Chad and Rosanne for the memories and opening your place to us!

How to have a great beach vacay

Our week was as near to perfect as is possible, I think. The condo’s location—facing the bay, adjacent to a marina, minutes from the ocean—-and the fact that the condo gave the 7 of us plenty of room to spread out/be together as we preferred, made it an ideal spot. Add to this that we lucked out with the weather, and you can see why we had such a great time.

Exactly what we needed!

Chad and Rosanne were wonderful hosts, answering any questions and made numerous helpful suggestions. The views are breathtaking, the pictures do not do this property justice. The pool and tennis courts were a nice extra activity for the family. The walk to The Big Chill so convenient and nice for a quick drink and ocean view. We parked there on beach days. Don’t hesitate if considering this beach getaway rental! Highly recommend!

Great hosts, fantastic sunset views!!

We had an amazing time at the property. Close enough to bike to beach (5-10mins) while also enjoying the piece and quiet of this private community. Townhouse is updated and clean. Have the essentials stocked to get the vacation started. We had an amazing time watching sunsets on the balcony! Hosts are helpful and responsive. Definitely would stay here again.

Awesome place!!!!!!!!

First off, it is beautiful. The views from everywhere, especially bayside are just wonderful. It was my wife and I and 5 kids, 3 of whom are in their 20's. Nice walk to the beach, pool was clean and the house was spotless. Chad was great with communication prior to the visit and the check in guide was, no lie, the best I've ever seen. There are tons to do in very short car rides. Would recommend this house to anyone. We are not normally come back to the same place every year people, but this was spectacular enough to make us think twice.

Great Family Vacation

The pictures don't lie, the views are great! This property is in a great location, not too far from Rehoboth or Fenwick Island, we even traveled down to OCMD for a day. The pool is an added bonus. We had 7 adults in our group and there was plenty of room in this house for everyone. Would definitely book again!

Great time and considering another stay

We had received a last minute cancellation on another rental and Chad made the transition to this one very easy. He provided a lot of information and suggestions for things to do, and was immediately responsive when we reached out. Incredible views out of the property and lots of space inside are just two of the many reasons to consider here. Everything was great and we appreciate all they did to make our stay a fun time.

Exceptional Water Views, Magnificent Sunsets, Wonderful Stay

Although I had seen several photos of the gorgeous views surrounding this spacious, fully-equipped townhome, I was not prepared for the breathtaking beauty of the Indian River Bay, nor the perfect scenic positioning of this Marina vacation rental. Nor had I expected the sound of the gently breaking waves at night, nor the trilling of the seagulls that carpeted the jetty every glorious morning. I have stayed in the Rehoboth/Dewey area on past trips, but the resort environment around the Delaware Seashore State Park was a revelation. The house itself has everything that I wanted including quick access to the beach, a pool shared by the gated community, and enough bedrooms with connecting baths and balconies so that everyone experienced a luxurious level of privacy. Homeowner Chad is amazing. His efficiency and warmth made for a welcoming stay and a flawless family vacation. Superb.

Something for everyone at this beautiful property

Great option for an extended family or two families vacationing together. Whether you want to fish, swim in the pool, head to the beach, or read on the balcony overlooking the bay, you'll be happy here. It's very clean, updated, and spacious. The property has been well cared for by owners who go above and beyond to make your stay easy and comfortable. The included linen rental was such a lovely perk - one less thing to worry about packing or scheduling. The photos and the listing tell it all - it's a great house. Thank you!

Beautiful Views and comfortable patio seating

Our family had a great time! There are 6 levels so there are a lot of stairs. Thank God we had the stair chair for my mom. Your mostly on the kitchen and living room level during your so stairs are not that big of an issue. Chad was very informative which was very much appreciated. Hardly anyone was at the pool so it felt like it was our own. We would definitely rent this home again!

Delaware vacation 7/17-24/21

The condo was superb as well as the location. Being in a marina, the views of the boats were wonderful as were the sunsets from the west side balconies. The owner was pleasant and always available by text or by email. The condo was clean, it had enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our family, and the amenities were just what we needed. The pool was a short walk from the condo and most of the time we had it to ourselves. The beach was a short drive from the condo. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on our vacation to Delaware.

Family Vacay

We had a wonderful family vacation. The views from the multiple balconies were spectacular! We loved the location of the home, an easy walk to the beach or a quick drive if you have a lot of things to carry. The lift chair made it easy for my mom to get up and down the steps. If anyone is in need of a beach wheelchair the state park provides one to use during the day. The home has everything you need and the owners were very responsive when we had questions.

Great location, clean, safe, friendly owners

The house was better than expected. Clean. Perfect combination of beach and “home” feeling. Very impressed by the AED. Being a medical professional and having lost a sibling to sudden cardiac death, I can’t emphasize enough the value of having this. I have never stayed in a privately owned vacation home that supplied an AED. Close to the beach and short drive to Bethany boardwalk. Owners friendly and quick to respond. Would definitely go back!

About the host

Hosted by Chad and Rosanne Morris

HI, We are Chad and Rosanne Morris and we live in Berwyn, PA, near Valley Forge Park, King of Prussia and outside Philadelphia. Rosanne is a retired nursing surpervisor from Bryn Mawr Hospital and Devon Family Practice and Chad works in the printing business with his company, Morris Print Management.

When the kids were young we used to tow the pop-top camper down to the North side of the Indian River Inlet campground along with three pomeranians and pretend we were having a good time....rain storms made it all the better.

We love the Delaware shore. Super fast 4 lane highways to get there, clean beaches and warm clean water, and nice people... Plus, there is no sales tax on purchases, restaurants or on this rental ..…and yes, you can find all the honkey tonk you want in nearby Dewey Beach and Ocean City, Md.

Delaware completed the super fast flyover interchange at Route 1 and I-95 so you move fast and $1 to $3 tolls are super cheap.
Note Apple has a megastore right there so you can save sales tax at the Christiana mall at the Route 1 flyover. Also, many other stores-clothing, electronics, hunting-Cabellas.

Summers get booked as early as August for the following year. (INQUIRE ABOUT OFF SEASON MINI WEEKS IN SPRING AND FALL......as it is so interesting in the off season.

Hope you can be with us this year!

Why they chose this property

Our property faces the Bay at the INDIAN RIVER INLET (IR in the title)
and provides the BEST SUNSETS, the BEST FISHING, the BEST WARM WATER, a GREAT ACTIVE MARINA and the best overall vacation experience in the area. Plus, with the state of Delaware spending millions to make the STATE PARK a must see for nature and wildlife; this place is tops in all categories. CAMPING FAMILIES WILL ENJOY THE NEARBY STATE CAMPGROUND AND RV PARK WHILE 'THE SENIOR' RELATIVES SUCH AS GRAMMY AND POP POP CAN STAY WITH US......AND WHEN IT RAINS GUESS WHO BE BE AT THE DOOR? We actually find a number of grandparents will rent the townhouse and bring their adult children and their kids along for the week as there are 3 completely private suites and one loft with a full bathroom.

Plan on running 25 miles down to Assataegue National Park to see the wild ponies running along the roads, forrest and beach. A fun day for families.

Yes, there are also hundreds of really neat restaurants and parks for all interests and we try to show off many of them in the picture section of the listing. Be sure to watch the video as it sets the scene for the area, its inlet and ends with our boat entering the marina with a nod to our unit.

What makes this property unique

We have two properties in Bethany Beach and 23 seasons of renting to vacationers who trust us to give them wonderful times. We are proud of
over 140 parties who have taken the time to write wonderful reviews. We think this qualifies us to boast a bit over those who want to try their hand at renting. Believe us, it is a lot of work during the off season and always being on call to handle problems. We hope you book with us and VRBO!.

Be sure to greet the fishing boats as they come in with their catch from 60-90 miles out in the ocean. Better yet go along on a charter for the day...ask around. We provide charter boat names and phone numbers in our Welcome Manual so you can make reservations well ahead of time.

We e-mail the welcome manual close to the arrival date. It answers every question we have ever been asked. Always good tips on what to do so you can hit the ground running and then come back year after year or skip a year and come back. Plus, some families bounce back and forth between this home and our ocean front condo in Sea Colony 5 miles south. VRBO/461838
Herons and sea birds feed at the rock jetty about sunset.

Delaware runs a huge attraction on the north side of the Inlet with wildlife lectures, a complete marina with boat launches, gas and pump out facilities including winter storage plus a great restaurant.Hammerheads.

Need to catch something off our jetty? Cut some chicken into slivers and get going or drop our two crab traps in the water and see what comes in.

Just in case you find the week you want is not available with us, feel free to ask to make sure the reservation CALENDAR is correct. Sometimes we put a courtesy hold on a week and forget to remove the hold. Or as happened in 2022, VRBO did not show us in either Dewey or Bethany Beach so we are just now getting shown.
THE WHITE MARLIN OPEN WILL BE IN AUGUST
Slips are at a premium on the North side of the Inlet so make reservations soon.
