About this property

Bethany Beach - Beautiful Family house overlooking 90 acre Salt Pond

Watch the sun rise directly from your bed! Nap in the hammocks! Kayak from our dock! Located in the Salt Pond community, our waterfront property has three levels of living space; the top level hosts a 180 degree view over a beautiful 90-acre Salt Pond. Activities for all family members. Floor-to-ceiling windows looking east over the pond, which is teeming with wildlife including herons, ospreys, crabs, geese, ducks, migratory birds. The pond is ideal for kayaking, paddle boarding, wind-surfing, and swimming from our private dock.

Our home has five bedrooms (sleeps 12 people comfortably) across 3 floors, two living-rooms, full modern kitchen, washer, dryer, 3 open decks, an enclosed porch, children's play room full of toys and a popular puppet theater, a full bath on each floor (one with bath-sized hot tub), 3 TVs, DVD/BluRay and Video, DirectTV, internet, outdoor shower. Tastefully decorated -- and not your usual beach rental decor. Ideal for a multi-generational family with children or for two or more families to share.

Enjoy our two kayaks (one 2-person and one 1-person ocean kayak), two stand up paddle (SUP) boards, and a canoe. No extra charge for boat use, however a waiver is required for families wanting to use the kayaks/canoe/paddle boards and dock.

The beautiful ocean beach is in easy bicycling or driving distance - about 5 minutes by car to north end of Bethany Beach board-walk.

Rental includes access to outdoor and indoor swimming pools at the Salt Pond community center, along with outdoor tennis courts, pickle ball court, volleyball court, half basketball court, and exercise/fitness room. The Salt Pond Golf course is next to the community center for a fee (not included in rental).

Off street parking for up to 5 vehicles.

Min 2 nights rental during off-season, 7 nights during high-peak summer season.
Summers: Summer rentals from Memorial day until Labor day are week-long rentals (Sat-Sat). Guests often return back to our unique family vacation house, adding family tradition to their summers.

Beach Family Vacation 2024

Our first family vacation in 13 years. Our kids all grow now with spouses and baby with another on the way…12 of us. This house accommodated all our needs. We spent the majority of our time at the beach. We knew in the reviews to bring linens (or rent them). The kitchen is well stocked. Very convenient having a grocery store nearby. Communication with Stephanie was easy with quick responses to all my questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect For Family Gatherings

We loved our visit to Bethany Beach and staying in the Salt Pond Community. We were near family in the same community which worked out perfectly. The home is beautiful, spacious and family-friendly. With three floors, multiple decks, and the garden and dock, there was plenty of space for multiple family members to enjoy the experience of staying in a home on the canal. The views from the decks and the dock are stunning. The kitchen was stocked with cookware and dishware which accommodated family meals. We were able to cook a full pasta dinner for extended family and utilize the kitchen tools to meet our needs. The dining area was perfect for a 90th birthday celebration and looked great with decorations! We enjoyed the use of the kayak on the canal multiple days. This home is 5-10 minutes away from a grocery store and downtown Bethany Beach. The owners were quick to communicate with us before and during our stay and were very flexible and accommodating. We have already recommended this VRBO home to other family members and hope to come back for a future visit.

Great House for enjoying Salt Pond

Communication with the owner was excellent, she took the time to answer all our questions. We were most interested in exploring the pond in our kayaks. We brought our own plus used the house’s kayaks, which were in good working order. The dock was well kept and easy to load an unload from. Enough dishes for all of us (7). The updated kitchen was a big plus.

Amazing Place

This is the second time we returned to the same place and we all loved it. Amazing surroundings and biking distance to the Bethany beach broadwalk. Host is very responsive and was helpful at each step providing the best support to make out stay very comfortable. Highly recommend to friends/ family due to large space.

Enchanting home

This home sits on a beautiful lot overlooking the pond. The landscaping is amazing and sitting on the deck is wonderfully peaceful with the sounds of the water and abundant wildlife. The house has many common areas for anyone to get away and have some solitude or for smaller groups to gather without disturbing others. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of storage. It gets a little crowded when you have multiple people who want to be involved in the cooking, but otherwise completely functional. We would certainly consider staying again.

Excellent place off season

The weather was beautiful and the place was great. No crowds at the beach. Suggestion, have a pair or 2 of binoculars to bird watch from the decks. We did run out of propane for the grill and the spare was empty also

Relaxing Pond House

This house is in an amazing location, right on the pond, with beautiful views. We loved sitting on the decks and relaxing at the end of the day. There are lovely gardens around the house where you can enjoy the cool breezes. We appreciated having access to the kayaks and paddleboards to use on the pond as well. The house is spacious and homey. There are a lot of books and games available and you can tell it is a well-loved family home. There were a couple of minor things that could be improved like having hairdryers available and connecting the 2nd floor TV to the Direct TV. The benches on the dock need to be replaced as the slats are falling out. However we would definitely stay here again.

Property review

Grounds and views were beautiful . House was well stocked but refrigerator needs updating . It’s a real hassle not having an ice maker. The house was clean except the kitchen.. refrigerator was dirty, oven had dirty pans in it . Overall the property is beautiful and the neighborhood is really nice. The owner was responsive and very easy to work with. I would definitely rent there again.

A very unique home with many pleasing features -- lots of room, a great toy room, comfy beds, games, beautiful views of the Pond. Note that you will need to bring a lot of stuff to round out your stay, including linens, dish towels, bath towels, beach towels, soap, shampoo/conditioner.

wonderful stay!

We had a fabulous time in this gorgeous home on the beautiful Salt Pond. Definitely bring your binoculars because there are so many beautiful and interesting birds to view from the THREE decks. Being able to take the kayaks and canoe out from the dock was a real treat, and the playroom was a hit with the younger kids in our group. And the large and comfortable hammocks were everyone's favorite. Having access to the indoor pool and spa at the Salt Pond clubhouse was also terrific for us during the off season when it was too cold for swimming at the beach. I definitely want to return!

Great Location

We loved staying right by Salt Pond, where we spent happy hours rowing the grandkids around in the owner-provided kayaks. They also loved playing on the beach, and the late October weather was still warm enough to enjoy outdoor activities. There was plenty of room in the house for all 6 adults and the 4 kids, who really liked the playroom and watching crabs from the dock. We hope to come back again!

Loved our stay!

The house had beautiful views, tons of space, yet felt cozy and offered lots of private and interesting pockets for down time. Detail in art, fixtures and sculptures kept providing new things to look at. We had 3 couples and 2 6-year olds and the house still felt roomy. The playroom was a HUGE hit, and let the kids entertain themselves. We would definitely book again.
