Family Beach Trip Aug. 2023

Spacious home in nice , quiet neighborhood, close to Bethany Beach and many grocery stores and beverage outlets. Only 3 miles to the beach and boardwalk and 30 minutes to Ocean City, Md. House has all of the amenities that we have at home. Gas grill and all of the beach toys and bicycles were a plus. Great communications from owner. We really enjoyed our stay. Great time visiting and relaxing on the screened porch. We hope to return in the future.

Excellent! Would absolutely book again.

This home is the best equipped (especially the kitchen) that we’ve stayed at in the Bethany Beach area over the past 16 years. Janet is a great communicator and clearly cared about our having a great week. My daughter left her keys there when we left and Janet went the extra mile to get them back to us. I highly recommend this beautiful home as your summer rental!

First time with Vrbo

Easy online reservation, various emails keeping in touch regarding upcoming reservation. Wonderful communication with the owner. A nice neighborhood for walking and riding bikes. Guys enjoyed the golf course. The one negative was putting out $50 per person for resort passes. We spent so much time at the beach that we didn't utilize the resort facilities but 2 times and that was to use the pools.

Wonderful stay and helpful host

We spent a week with family members aged 60+ to a few months old, and everybody could find something to enjoy at the property or the surrounding area. The house is in a great location and walking distance to the pools and courts. The hosts have thoughtfully stocked the house with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Not having to worry about sheets and towels is an added bonus. Janet was responsive and helpful with anything we needed, and checking in and checking out was a smooth process.

Nice home, well stocked

This was a well stocked home in a great neighborhood. The manager is very responsive. Overall the home is well kept, just a couple areas the home needs some TLC but overall a great stay. The bikes and gear in the garage need an overhaul soon if they are offered as amenities, the brakes don't work on some of the bikes, tires were low, little wagon has damaged wheels, etc. Either toss or replace.

Kid friendly - kitchen well stocked

Our host was immediately responsive to requests and information. The kitchen was well stocked, linens included really helped. There was an amazing array of kid and adult bikes, beach chairs, beach toys, boogie boards. The indoor pool was also a hit with our 6 grandchildren! They also enjoyed all sleeping in the same room. Great bunks!

Great area, nice house

The property was clean and ready for guests. It was actually the most well stocked home we have ever rented. Lots of linens, pantry items, and beach equipment. Loved that there were bikes in the garage for our use. Stated there was a queen air mattress but only found a twin, which would not stay inflated. Couple minor repairs needed done, but owner responded quickly. The resort amenities were very close and we'll kept. Not a big fan of the shuttle to the beach. Sometimes had to wait a while and hard to carry every thing. Also, the main beach was very crowded. After a few days we were told about the Delaware State Park beaches. We found it more convenient to pack up the cars and drive to there. Much nicer beach and could park all day for $10. None of those were the fault of the owner. Overall, whole family said they would go to the house again.

Great place, close to Bethany Beach

This was a great house and Janet was a great host. She sent a welcome packet a few days before, giving us tips about the property and surrounding area. The house is 1/2 a block from the pavilion with the 2 pools and gym and down the street from the 3rd pool! .The shuttle to the beach was so convenient bc parking at Bethany is horrendous. The pass to use the facilities and shuttle is a separate $40 pp. It’s set by the HOA. Though steep, it did come with a lot of amenities. The house was close to everything we needed. Janet was very responsive to our questions. Loved it here and plan to be back!

Perfect getaway for a week at the beach!

We had a wonderful time and perfect weather for our week at the beach! While the home was a great match for our needs, our favorite part of the home was the screened in porch. We spent each morning with family gathered around the table for coffee and conversation. A wonderful gathering place. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the kitchen came fully stocked with everything needed. Thank you for a great week! - The Dietrich Family

Great location to please everyone

We had 10 people and lots of different goals for a vacation. Some wanted beach, some pool, some exercise options, tennis, basketball, places to relax, good food, entertainment, etc. This location was the perfect answer. The resort provided many options and this home was very close to them. The shuttle was easy to use for the beach. The owner quickly responded to all our questions beforehand and during our stay.

3 families, 1 vacation

The house was perfect for our vacation. We had 3 families, 6 adults and 8 children. The bunk room was perfect for the younger children, while my teenager daughter slept in the twin bedroom. The kitchen was equipped and labeled with every pot, pan, utensil you could ever need. Plenty of board games, sand toys and bikes for everyone. The screened in porch was nice during the evenings while the open porch was nice during the day. The house is a short distance to the club house with the indoor/outdoor pools. We did not utilize the shuttle, but there is one available. Having a washer and dryer was a plus. The location is only 5 minutes to the grocery store and about 10 minutes to Bethany beach. It’s also only a little over 30 minutes to ocean city, MD so we went there one day to walk the boardwalk. Overall it was a great experience. Janet was very easy to communicate with and answered any questions/concerns we had promptly.

Beautiful home in a great neighborhood!!

We just spent a week at 24 October Glory Avenue and would definitely go back!! This is a beautiful, well kept home set in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The location is perfect, as it is just a very short walk to the main pavillion with the indoor/outdoor pools and all the amenities.There were 11 of us who stayed on the property and we had plenty of room. No one was ever felt crowded and each family had privacy when they wanted it. The owner Janet is super accomodating and answers any questions you have. We had a great experience, and would definitely stay at this property again!!

Janet was wonderful to deal with! She even had the cleaning crew leave a bottle of champagne for my husband's surprise birthday weekend! Enough room for everyone comfortably, walking distance to pool which was a plus! House was very clean and had everything we needed for a beach weekend. Would absolutely recommend to anyone, as we may be looking to rent it again next year as well!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Nguyen

Host profile image
We have three young children and we purchased this home because of the convenience of all the wonderful amenities Bear Trap has to offer as well as the close proximity of to the beach. We have equipped the home for families to enjoy vacations with family and friends. We have made many wonderful memories here and hope you will too! We very much appreciate that most of our renters take very good care of our home during their stays.

What makes this property unique

If you have a particularly large group of family and friends, we also own 22 October Glory Ave (VRBO listing #926557) right next door so there are a combined nine (9) bedrooms between the two houses. It is great fun to have cousins and friends running between houses to enjoy each other's company, but also to have room to spread out for multiple families.
