Community Amenities: The Village of Bear Trap Dunes surrounds 27 holes of a beautiful and well thought out golf course. Steps away from our home, your may catch the shuttle to Bethany Beach, exercise or relax at the community Pavilion (indoor and outdoor pools, fitness centers, hot tub, sauna, tennis, basketball, recreation center, table games and tot lot), hit golf balls at the range, walk to the golf Clubhouse, restaurant or pop in to the Clubhouse for a grab and go breakfast, lunch, snacks and papers. There is an in season fee of $50 per person per week to use community amenities (reduce in 2020 since shuttle did not run due to COVID). Only purchase the number of passes you will need at any one time as they are transferable among house guests. Off season amenity passes are $40. Prices subject to change based on HOA decisions. Golf is separate from the community amenities. Outdoor pool season is extended and, so close, that you can pop over quickly. Children over 12 can use amenities without parents (subject to change).

While this community is wonderful in the summer, it is equally wonderful in the spring and fall. Even after the outdoor pools close, there are still plenty of things to do. Walking or biking around the community is cooler off season and we are looking forward to a new trail opening nearby.

Fall Getaway

The property was very nice and clean. It's located in a beautiful community. The rear deck overlooks the 1st and 18th holes of the golf course. There were a perfect number of beds for our needs. The house is very well decorated and well stocked with any household items you would need.

Beautiful, clean home.

My family and I had a great stay. We loved the house. More than enough room for us. It was a great location, less than 30 minutes to each (Ocean City, Rehobeth and Bethany) boardwalk. Great amenities, I played pickleball for the first time. The pool was very nice with lots of seating. We would love to stay here again.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Bear Trap this past December. The home was very clean, fully stocked with necessities and very helpful to have dog friendly and infant friendly items available too! Adrienne was lovely to deal with and made sure we were comfortable in her property. You can't beat the location. This was our 4th year staying in Bear Trap and the location to the pool was perfect! Would highly recommend this home and area!

So convenient and comfortable

We rented this house over the long Thanksgiving weekend. The house is beautiful and very convenient to everything. Beach and boardwalk is a short 10 minute drive and the house has everything you need as well as nicely decorated. The house is located right on the golf course and across from the outdoor as well as the indoor pools. I highly recommend this house.

Nice Getaway

Townhouse was just as pictured. Very spacious and well maintained. The owner was very generous and helpful. This will be our future beach destination. The deck and screen porch overlook the golf course with a pond. Very quiet and relaxing. Exceeded our expectations. Bear Trap is a great community and the people are very friendly.

Enjoyed bear trap dunes

Owner was great, very responsive with questions. Location was good, close to restaurants, activities, beach. Fee for pool/fitness center was high & beach shuttle service was terrible. Would be nice to have passes included. House could have used some additional supplies like dishwasher tabs, trash bags. Overall we enjoyed our stay and had plenty of space for everyone. Would definitely rent again!

Great Service/Stay

This townhouse was perfect for our family of 6. We utilized the 2 King bedrooms, and the bedroom with the Queen and Single. The other bedroom is a part of the Queen/Single but it doesn’t have a door. It had a bunk bed with a Full bottom bunk. It may have been a converted closet but it would be okay for kids sleeping in there, just maybe not for adults who prefer privacy. The downstairs was a great hub for gathering. We spent a lot of time on the back deck and kitchen. The back deck has four chairs and a table, but you can bring two chairs from the screened in porch to fit around the deck table. The kitchen table has six chairs. There is a screened in porch that has six wicker chairs as well. Those chairs don’t have cushions at the time of our stay though. The owners were very quick to respond and even brought us one of their bikes to use as they were in town during our stay. The 2nd bike in the garage is a kid’s bike, fyi. The pools/ fitness center/ tennis/pickle ball courts are right beside the house which was very convenient. Downtown Bethany is a couple of miles away maybe not even that far. Parking for the town/beach is metored but we found parking relatively easily each time we went. Look up Bethany parking so you can see where all of the meter spots are. We also went to the Delaware Seashore Park Beach several times and brought our dog with us. Be careful if you go to the 3R’s Beach, that is a fishing beach then you will see a lot of SUVs and trucks on the beach with fishing poles which makes it a little tricky if you want to swim. You need a special permit to be able to drive on the beach and park and if you do bring your vehicle there to park on the beach, you have to have a fishing pole in the water. We just drove on the beach with our Pilot to load/ unload. Cost for that beach is $10/carload payable via CC or cash in a drop box. * note: you need to lower the PSI in your tires and use 4 wheel drive if driving on the beach. They have free air hoses in the parking lot to inflate them before you leave. Lastly, we rented a pontoon boat from Dewey Watersports one day. You don’t need a boating license in Delaware to operate it and they give you instructions before you go out into the bay. We had a blast.. they tell you how to get to a sandbar so you can get out and enjoy the water. Well worth the money!

About the host

Hosted by Adrienne Kubeluis

Host profile image
We grew up in separate parts of Maryland and spent years vacationing in Maryland and Delaware beaches as children. We have lived in Baltimore for 20 years and are busy raising our 2 young children (they helped decorate the twin and bunk rooms). We found our way back to Bethany because of how relaxing we find our beach home and the close proximity and ability to enjoy the property year round.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because of its prime location within this resort community which allows us to use the amenities easily and more frequently - and still access the beach quickly. It's a lovely location year round with plenty of activities. While a beach front location would be nice, this location offers so many more activities not available at the beach and allows everyone to easily pop over to enjoy their own activity, while still being close. It takes 30 seconds to walk to the pavilion - how easy is that? So far (and hopefully), it's better protected from bad weather and storms. Someday, it may have an Ocean View. Our children love to run around the Village Green and 'perform' at the amphitheater, visit the 'bear' behind the restaurant and Clubhouse, play Frisbee in the back yard, visit Old Pro Golf's Indoor Miniature Golf, the Carousel's ice rink, explore James Farm ecological preserve with a dog, watch a move at the old time Clayton Theater - and enjoy the indoor and outdoor pools... Off season, there are lots of community activities too - we've found the beach full of people on Thanksgiving weekend, discovered a local Thanksgiving turkey trot, Easter egg roll, triathlon, and Memorial Day parade....so far.

We live in Maryland so it is close enough to enjoy a weekend trip - and so relaxing for us... and all of the exterior work is done by the HOA - and beautifully kept up. Our children are busy summer swimmers at home during June and July.

What makes this property unique

This property is so well equipped, feels like a single family home and has exceptional amenities that we were unable to match in the Delaware/Maryland beach communities. We hope you enjoy it too.
