Great place for a Family Trip

Great stay. Home was beautiful and comfortable for adults and kids. Very nice and ample shared space for families from the porch to the living room, kitchen, dining and back sun room. Perfect for a large family or two families of 4 with the split sleeping areas on each side. Nearby supermarket and food and beach accessiblility. Perfect for a nice private family vacation!

Lots of space!

The house was much bigger than I even imagined and enabled everyone to spread out and not feel like they were on top of each other. The outdoor space was private and cozy, and the indoor space was comfortable and met all of our needs, I especially like the set up of this house for my elderly parents who only needed to navigate three steps to get in. I would definitely book this house again. Thank you, Eleanor for a lovely place.

Last Trip of Summer

Place was nice and clean, but listing was deceiving, did not know until night before we were leaving, that we had to bring our own sheets and towels, we don’t own the bed sizes that was needed, and the pool had a charge per day per person, there was 6 in my family, to use the pool, would have been 60 dollars a day, that’s crazy, the listing said it had 2 pools , never said there was a fee, we go on 4-5 vacations a year, an never been charged to use the pool or bring my own sheets and towels

Great location for a relaxing beach week.

Perfect house set up for parents and three kids and their guests all between late teens and mid twenties. The front porch was our favorite spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading or evening card games. The back sunroom was a nice escape spot and maybe nap zone. The beach chairs and bikes were a nice touch and in good condition. Bethany West neighborhood was fun with super easy access to the trolley and the rec facilities were worth the renters fee. Note to those who like to paddle board or kayak on the canal - Bethany West does not let you store at the canal. You must bring it back to the house. We’d definitely stay again.

Great for familes/large groups- loved the screened porch and open living areas!

This is a really nice place with two large living areas plus a screened porch. Plenty of glassware/dishes, extra beverage fridge, and the beach amenities in the shed (chairs, bikes, boogie boards) are welcome extras that you don't find in many other rentals. One detail we missed- neither of the bathrooms have a tub, which may be an issue for families with small children. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with.

Nice House for a vacation

Nice house with large "Family Room" which can hold about 10 people comfortably. Very easy layout with 4 bedrooms, Kitchen in the middle with all the required amenities. We were able to walk to Beach and Downtown. It was nice to be able to use boogie boards provided by the owner. Wanted to use the grill, but never got to it. It is a nice place would recommend it to other folks. Owner was very nice and able to get in touch whenever I had a question. BTW we had 10 people from our family during this trip.

Rundown place with broken floorboards

The house had a damp mildew smell throughout. The living room furniture had rips and tears. The floorboards were broken with cracks and splinters. The floor had dirty toys not removed. The dishes were still in dishwasher from previous runs. It was not as expected.

Perfect spot!

We loved our stay! The multiple living spaces made it perfect for our young adults to have their space, while my husband and I had our own. The whole house is adorable, and the shaded front porch is lovely! All of the extra touches, like bikes with baskets, comfy beach chairs, an extra beverage fridge, and a kitchen with everything you could possibly need to cook or bake made our week so easy. Evelyn is also very responsive. We hope to make this place an annual spot for our beach vacation!

Great stay in Bethany!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage. There was plenty of room for 2 adults, and 4 young adults. The front porch was perfect to hang out in and the sunroom was great for games and card playing. The beds were comfortable. So thankful for the many beach chairs and the bikes. A perfect get away, even during covid restrictions. We were able to socially distance on the beach and while riding bikes on trails or to the beach.

Loved the Place

This was a really nicely laid out house with a spacious feeling -- wood floors, high beamed ceilings--but more rustic than modern. Having the front enclosed porch is nice for hanging bathing suits, towels, etc and for having a coffee/drink on on at night or early morning when there are nice breezes and not worry about mosquito bites. The inside has a nice open kitchen facing the living room and the back side of the kitchen faces the back of the house that has the dining table and another sitting area. It's a great place for if you want multiple areas to hang-out or if a few of you are 'working from home' and need separate areas. Though the wifi at times was spotty if there were a bunch of people connected at the same time. The kitchen was very well equipped, as was the whole house -- really functional. Plus the added bikes are a great bonus. We used them every day to get to the beach and into town. The house being on a deadend is nice if you have young kids who want to play ball in the street etc. The fact that it was part of Bethany West was nice too-- they have a nice lap pool and rec center with ping-pong table, cornhole game, kayak launch -- all stuff we wanted to take advantage of but never had the chance to (except for the lap swimming) -- but maybe would have if there had been another bad weather day.

About the host

Hosted by Eleanor Lacklen

Host profile image
We are beach people and have had eighteen successful years of fun beach going in Bethany Beach for my family and friends. We have also shared our cozy house with many happy renters.

Why they chose this property

My family has always loved and vacationed at the beach. I wanted to have a beach house within about 3 hours from our home in VA. We also wanted a pool and recreation facilities that are easy to get to and use. This house has all we wanted and it's located in a family neighborhood within walking/biking distance to the beach. The large screened front porch and the windowed Florida room in the back create 3 living areas inside! We love this house and so do our renters!!

What makes this property unique

This house has all you need on one level. There are four steps to enter the house, but the rest is on one level. The two separate sleeping areas allow for separation of families if you want that. There is an outside shower for "after beach" rinsing and plenty of room for kids to play away from the adult conversations or a game area and a talking area....your choice! It's furnished comfortably.
