A Glorious Week

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is well stocked - especially the kitchen. The kitchen appliances were great. There was one issue with the cleaning crew; however, the owners addressed it immediately. We loved the house and the neighborhood.

Great time at Bear Trap Dunes

We had a great time at Bear Trap Dunes! House was in a wonderful location! It was very clean and well-stocked, from cooking tools and eating utensils to laundry soap. Janet was awesome. She was proactive reaching out and very quick to answer questions. She explained the process for using the pool and tennis courts and even sent he QR code in advance. The house set up was great. We enjoyed the yard and the screened in/open porch as well as the new grill! There were even extra beach towels and chairs, toys, etc available for use. We definitely will be booking again! Thank you Janet!

Last Summer Vacation for 2022

Rented Janet’s House for our last family’s vacation that ended on Labor Day of 2022. Home was clean and was well stocked with everything one would need for a short family stay. Home was right across from pool which was great and there were shuttles to take you to and from Bethany beach which was only about a couple of miles. Home was very clean and well maintained.Communication was excellent and would definitely stay here again.

Pros and cons.

Unfortunately for the first time using VRBO we were very disappointed with our rental. When we walked in and saw the living area, we were surprised as it is smaller than it appeared in the photos.. Dining was very awkward for our group as it was a tight fit for all of us to get around the table for a family meal. All showers were full of mold and the back porch was dirty with cobwebs and bird droppings on the dining table. The area that’s advertised as a another sleeping space upstairs was a hall way, not enclosed and impossible to sleep in. I felt terrible that our family member ended up sleeping on the couch in the living area down stairs and never had a full nights rest. However, the property manager did reply quickly about the areas that needed cleaning. The house is located very close to the pool which was convenient, and it is a lovely neighborhood.

Great home, great location!

Janet’s property was perfect for our annual beach trip with friends! The home is in a quiet golf course community, just a short drive from Bethany Beach. A perfect neighborhood for walking and biking. Our girls LOVED having the cool bunk bed room. Janet was traveling, but made sure to still stay connected with us during our time at her home. We’d stay here again for sure!

Bear trap family vacation

Loved how close it was to the pool with an infant and 2 year old . Plenty of space large table to play games. Nice outside porch and enclosed deck. Chairs on back deck need repainting because heat of the week paint came off on everyone’s back. It was the hottest weather. Yard was great to play frisbee and ball. Enough space comfortable beds would definitely recommend. Men played golf and thought it was good too.a great family time at a spacious home

Excellent Home Near All The Main Attractions

My family and I stayed at this beautiful home for spring break. The home was located in a great neighborhood that was close to town and all of the main attractions. The owner of the home Janet made sure it was fully stocked with toiletries, linens, seasonings and even games for the children to play. There was cozy fireplace in the living room and screened in porch to enjoy a nice meal. We only had to drive about 15-20 minutes to everything. The owner is very responsive to questions and friendly. I would definitely stay at this home again.

Clean, dog-friendly property

This house was perfect for us. Very clean and simply decorated. Had everything we needed. A bit of drive to the beach, given that the community is golf-course adjacent. But we would definitely stay again. Liked the gas range for cooking. The owner asks that you either bring your own towels or wash the ones you use prior to departure; this was not a big deal, but the dryer was a little slow, so keep that in mind. Appreciated the ability to bring our dog to the trip!

Family Fun in Ocean View Home

We had an overall great time in Ocean View, DE. This was our first time visiting this area and we were more than pleased. The home we rented was as described on this site. Janet, the owner, was very quick to respond to our questions prior to our visit, during check in, and during check out. I’m sure she would have been just as responsive duting our visit, but the house was very clean upon arrival, everything was in good working condition, and no problems occurred during our stay, so we did not need to contact Janet. Eight of us, plus our dogs stayed in the house very comfortably. Plenty of space for a large family. With the exception of going to beach several times, we stayed home most of the time due to COVID. We had fun putting an inflatable pool in the back yard for our two year old, playing games in the dining room and on the screened in porch, cooking on the grill, preparing meals in the well equipped kitchen, sitting on the front porch, and walking our dogs and riding our bikes in the large, beautiful neighborhood. The pools, tennis courts, playgrounds, and public golf course were beautiful, but we chose to play it safe and limit our vistits. We hope to use these facilities during our next stay. Grocery stores are nearby. We placed an InstaCart order from Giant and our food was delivered quickly. We would happily stay in this home again!

Nice and comfortable house for family and friends to spend enjoyable vacations

We really enjoy Bethany Beach and the house!!! The house provides all the accommodations that offers. It was clean and all the furniture was new. The owner was always available and showed her flexibility to room our requirements. The location is very convenient. The beach is a short drive from home and you can find the supermarket and CVS just a few minutes driving too. We felt like home and we definitely recommend it!

Well Stocked, Clean, Nice Location

This was our first time renting a home. We were pleased with the accommodations. Although the home is pet friendly, which is what drew me to the home, the home was clean. House smelled fresh and there was no animal hair. Sheets placed in plastic bags were left on each bed, which was helpful in the midst of the pandemic. Towels are also provided. You must wash and dry them, which was fine with me as I did my own laundry as well. Janet even provides laundry detergent. One of my favorite things about this home is the outside shower! The kitchen has all necessary items and the spice rack has all the essentials. The neighborhood is lovely. We purchased passes to use at the complex’s amenities - tennis courts, pools, golf, etc., but we never used them. (Home is very close to the pool!) We spent all our time at Bethany Beach, which we loved. The beach is a short drive from the home. The town enforced mask wearing. This was comforting. (We went to Rehoboth one evening and many people weren’t wearing masks.) Giant food store is a short drive. There’s a CVS and gas station in very close proximity. The home has keyless entry. Someone accidentally touch the lever. So, the door wasn’t locking. I contacted Janet and she helped us immediately. This is a wonderful home to make beautiful memories!

22 October Glory, Beartrap Dunes

All in all the 22 house was nice, however, we did run into a few issues. Would I stay here again…perhaps. I have never been asked to wash all of the linens/towels before I checked out on a machine that cannot handle the capacity in the house. Noticeable ant problem in the upstairs bathroom and on the front porch. The grill was a mess. We cleaned it twice and repaired it after the last guests left enough debris to create a grease fire. Cleaned the outside shower head so it worked. Linens were not all provided, but the owner did supply promptly after being notified. Communication was pretty good overall, owner was helpful. Upstairs is an icebox in one room, stuffy in the other. My son had a nasty head laceration due to low hanging cabinets in the laundry room. Really should be padded corners. Like I said the place is quite nice, just a few things need attended to.

Great house for parents and their adult married children

We liked this house because there were enough baths and bedrooms for everyone. We also loved bringing our Newfoundland along. We enjoyed Bethany Beach. Check in and out was easy and owner was available if there were issues but there weren’t any. House had everything we expected. Would stay again.
