About this property

Coastal Retreat - Beach, Golf, & Family/Friends Get-Away!

Beach House Description: This home can be rented from part of September 2023 through to the end of May 2024 by owner, and available for occupancy by mid-September 2023. The Beach House will continue to be available for individual weekly summer rentals from June 2023 to mid September 2023.
Get away from frenetic city life to the ideal beach, golf, and family & friends get-away.
This is a sunny contemporary style home with amenities in the small, private, pristine community of Arrington Woods (at the corner of Routes 20 and 54, across from Bayside Resort's Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course); minutes away to Fenwick State Park Beach, and Ocean City. Bethany Beach and Rehoboth Beach are a short drive away. Enjoy a drive to the famous Assateague Island (approx. 35 - 40 minutes), on the Maryland side (the northern two-thirds of the island is in Maryland - while the southern one-third of the island is in Virginia). Here you will find the wild ponies of Assateague Island — they could join you on the beach. Just one of the many adventures that await you and your family and friends.
This Beach House is ideal for family reunions or for a 'circle of friends' to spend a relaxing week or more away from it all. This spacious house feels like an elegant but comfortable resort home with graceful arched floor-to-ceiling windows, a three season sun porch leading to an out-door patio with barbecue grill and views of the nearby woods, with plenty of space for entertaining. This light-filled, four bedroom (with a loft area that can be another area for sleeping), three and a half baths. This 2600 square foot twin home has plenty of room for overnight guests with two master bedrooms: one on the main level with private en-suite and the other master bedroom with soaking tub and separate shower - on the second floor; with access to a large deck. There are two additional bedrooms (one bedroom has 3 separate single beds, and the other has a trundel-bed which sleeps 2. The loft area provides two over sized chairs that convert to pull-out single sleeper beds. (Guests provide their own linens and towels. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and some water toys for children). The loft area can turn into a play area with a Fussball Table and a t.v. or a quiet get-away space, overlooking the spacious great room with its gas fireplace and vaulted ceilings. The spectacular 'flow' of this home is great for party occasions - open dining/kitchen/great-room, cozy three-season sunporch furnished with wicker furniture, with floor-to-ceiling windows that open to screen up or down - and outdoor patio with dining seating for 6. Upstairs Master Bedroom has its own sundeck and a covered porch off the loft area provides additional outdoor enjoyment/privacy for your family or guests. There is a Gourmet, fully-equipped kitchen with Corian counters, and breakfast bars that seats 6 guests, and the dinning room table has an additional 8 seats for your guests.
Community pool is about a block from the home. In addition to its proximity to Bayside's Jack Nicklaus golf course & Fenwick Island, with its numerous species of birds and other wildlife, beaches and parks, this attractive, upbeat community is close to Ocean City with its Boardwalk, kids' activities and 'hotspots;' and to Bethany and Rehoboth Beaches with its sophisticated nightlife and shopping (tax-free), outlets. Harris Teeter (new large grocery store with great produce & Starbucks), is across the road from this community ... within walking or biking distance. There are other grocery stores close by, as well.
The Beach House will have start-up supplies: soap, toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent and dishwasher detergent, and propane for the outside grill. If the propane tank is empty, just get it filled, and send me a copy of the bill by way of a text. I can reimburse through Zelle or some other form of payment that we both agree upon. There is a washing & dryer machine, as well as detergent for your convenience. A minimum of 5 nights stay is required. Just continue to book this beautiful beach home through VRBO.

Racist neighbors/Racost owrber

We use this present property for a week it was until the last day when her neighbors discovered that we were African-American that started to grow and sudden it’s been noted and I’ve reached out to Vrbo multiple occasions for harassment, i’ve never been so disrespected and lied to in a single instance. once again, the owner and the neighbor, waiting until the very last day to try to play some games that I refused to be apart of, considering this service i will tell all minorities buyer beware. To the owners find god. I am still waiting for VRBO to reach back to me.

Fantastic beach house

We had a wonderful week - the house is convenient to several different seashores, and right around the corner from a grocery. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, cooking equipment etc, and The house was big enough for our large party of 10. We would definitely stay again!

Everything We Needed and More

This townhouse as portrayed in the photos does not convey the spacious living areas that we enjoyed. Lots of room for everyone to gather or have time alone. The decor was charming, but not overly fussy. We have never stayed in a place so well-equipped in this area. The one suggestion we have would be to place grab bars next to the toilets and also in the showers. This is a safety issue for older people like us! Thank you to our host, Barbara for answering questions in a timely fashion.

Best Beach Trip

My family and a few of our friends rented from Barbara! The process was very easy and professional. She responded to any of my questions in a matter of hours or minutes! Concerning check in, there was a little problem with the keys, however, the problem was not due to Barbara. She responded to the problem ASAP and we got the keys in a matter of minutes! The house was in perfect condition. The cleaning lady did a wonderful job cleaning! It felt very homey. Any questions that we had, she had an answer to. She even offered to reimburse us if we hd to buy propane for the grill outside. Overall, this house was perfect and we had a wonderful time!

Perfect Stay!

Listing looked exactly like it did online and was clean and spacious. With two master bedrooms it was the perfect size for two families to share. We did a lot of takeout so the huge dining table for shared meals was perfect. One of the best things was how well stocked the kitchen was! We like to cook even when we're on vacation, but we've gotten used to struggling through with very few pots/pans/utensils or low quality kitchen supplies. The kitchen had everything we needed! Would definitely stay there again.

We would go back. 20 minutes to 3 beaches (Assateague Island, Ocean City, MD and Fenwick Island). Home is in a very quiet area, grocery store 2 minutes away. We would definitely rent again. Lots of beach chairs, body surf boards and toys, games and dvds. There is a lot of space (open concept). We really enjoyed our vacation.

4th of July Family Stay

Stayed at this lovely home with my family for a long 4th of July weekend. There were 9 of us (4 adults, 3 kids, 2 seniors) and the home accommodated all of us comfortably. A nice open space with a great grilling area, a community pool (2 min walk) and a very convenient nearby shopping center (2 min drive). Check in and out were easy and we had a fantastic time.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Fishell

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Barbara Fishell and I live in the Frederick, MD area. My dream has always been to own a beach house. As a family we have always enjoyed taking trips to nearby beaches from the time I was a little girl. From that time forward my goal was to own a beach house with my Mother, Heidi. Unfortunately, my Mother died in 2014. She had told me, before she passed, that I should go ahead and buy a beach property when she was no longer with us. That's how my daughter and I came up with the name: Heidi's Gift. Since it is really her sacrifice, hard work, as well as her frugal living that has given us this gift of a beach house.

I hope to share this home with my family and friends as well as use it as a rental property. Please enjoy this home with your family and friends, as well. I know many would say why decorate this beach house so nicely - renters will only trash the place. My answer is - the people that will rent and enjoy this beach home should have some amenities that make them feel at home. I've purchased two unisex adult bicycles - renters will need to bring their own helmets. I trust they will treat this house as they would want others to treat their own homes. So, I've added some updated living furniture, a "fussball" table in the loft area with a flat screen tv, and a 60" flat screen tv in the great room on the first floor. These are items I would have loved to have in the rentals we had rented in the past!

I trust you will enjoy and take care of all the items in this Beach Home. It would mean a lot to me. Have a Blessed Relaxing and Exciting VACATION!! Come back and rent from us again, Barbara

Why they chose this property

I believe this property offers a relaxing and quiet surroundings. It lends itself to a great party layout as well; with its large great room that can be used to play games, watch TV, or watch videos together. If you want to watch something no one else wants to see you can go to one of the other 4 locations within the home to view your favorite TV shows or movies. If you want to read and not leave your family - just go into the sunroom and enjoy your book or computer. There is a Fussball table for all to enjoy in the loft area; along with a chess/checkers table. The Fusball/Soccer table is a favorite of mine. I used to be pretty good at scoring against my family members, but its been awhile.

What makes this property unique

When I first walked into this property I fell in love with the large great room with its high ceilings, and gourmet kitchen I could see upon my entry. I went back several times just to observe the community. Finally, I rented the home for my daughter and one of my grandchildren. I knew I wanted this property for many reasons. This property is in a quiet community. You can walk or ride your bike within this community or venture out into the nearby Bayside Community where there lots more people vacationing. There they have summer/fall concerts that you can attend. There is a nearby grocery store (Harris Teeter with Starbucks), that you could walk or ride your bike to if you like. The community pool is just a short walk from the home, and it is very private. No one can see you as you swim except for those who are at the pool with you. You are about 4 miles from the local beach. Ocean City, Bethany Beach, and Rehoboth Beach and Outlets are all within a reasonable drive away.
