Salt Pond home in golf community with pools, tennis, & pickleball - near beach

Get ready to love this cozy, one-story home, located in a beautiful community with an 18-hole, par-61 golf course and only about three miles from the beach. Salt Pond's many amenities are a short walk from the house and include a community center with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a hot tub (depending on the season), a fitness center, tennis, pickleball, basketball, sandlot volleyball, and more. Nearby is a launching area for small boats to access the Salt Pond and the network of canals that connect to the neighboring inlets and eventually to the ocean. Take a stroll along the tree-lined streets in the community or hike/bike/run along the nearby trails. The golf pro shop and grocery store are an easy five-minute walk, and the Delaware Seashore State Park is a five-minute drive.
The house is spacious throughout, with hardwood floors. The family room has vaulted ceilings and plenty of seating space under the fan. Relax watching cable TV or pop a movie into the DVD player on either of the two TVs. If you prefer to entertain elsewhere, the three-season porch offers a pleasant seating space for lively discussions or reading under the fan. The backyard has a patio with a gas grill and plenty of room for the kids to run and play. Remote workers will appreciate the desk area in the living room and free WiFi.
All of the bedrooms have fans and also mini lights over the beds to allow for easy reading. The master bedroom has a private bathroom, while the two other bedrooms share a bathroom. There is also a powder room adjacent to the family room and a newly rebuilt outdoor shower.

The kitchen is large and well-equipped. With early-day sun and a pleasant view of trees and the cul-de-sac, the kitchen is a nice place to be, whether you’re preparing or enjoying a meal. With seating at the table and the bar counters, the kitchen is big enough for large groups and serves as a great place to entertain.

Things to Know

Great time with relaxing home atmosphere.

Loved the whole experience. 1. House is in a quiet cul-de-sac, close to the beach, walking distance from grocery shopping, restaurants… but far enough to feel peacefully removed. 2. House comfortably accommodated five of us. After several hours on the beach each day, coming back to the house felt like “home.” 3. The Salt Pond Community is beautiful and relaxing. Tons of “green space.” We took leisurely walks throughout this golf community for hours. Neighbors so friendly. Great vacation!

Great location!

Comfortable, pet friendly home which was great for our family of four plus dog. We loved the proximity to Bethany. The screened in porch was a lovely place to spend mornings and evenings. Salt Pond amenities were very nice. Would definitely book again.

Great place

We booked last minute and loved the stay.. Easy seven or eight minute drive to Bethany Beach and there was a little micro brewery one mile away. We would stay again

Great house! Perfeclty situated! Lovely beach community!

I visited with my mother and daughter. We had such a nice time! The house we rented felt like home the minute we walked in - with an added spark of elegance. The overall house was very clean with lovely bedrooms - a very welcome site as we arrived late at night. We loved the way the bedrooms were decorated, with enought pillows and covers to keep us comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms were very clean. The overall layout of the house is nice. We felt independant in our bedrooms in separate parts of the house - but close enought to feel connected. The house itself is off the main road in a cul de sac which is really nice, especially if one has young kids with bicycles/tricycles. But it's also one the closest points to the supermarket.
