About this property

Great location with pool, tennis, pickle ball and kayak (no booking fee)

Sparkling clean and newly updated end unit townhouse in a the peaceful, wooded community of Stewart’s Watch. This is a wonderful family friendly, sunny end unit with a swimming pool, tennis court, and boat ramp for kayaking, canoeing or fishing/crabbing. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms (master suite has full bath with an easy walk in shower, 2 bed rooms with hall bath/tub and half bath downstairs). There is also an outside shower. The kitchen and bathrooms have all been recently renovated. Wood floors span the downstairs.

Perfect location: the home is 1/2 mile to the downtown area (0.7 miles to the sand). It is a pedestrian friendly walk or bike ride. The unit also includes a free parking pass for the beach and downtown. The trolley stop is a short block from the front door for a fun and scenic ride that only costs a quarter.

Private Community: This is one of the few Bethany Beach communities that offers a swimming pool! It's a perfect way to wind down after a day at the beach. Steward's Watch is beautifully landscaped and maintained. The streets are tucked into a quiet wooded neighborhood that provides added safety for kids to bike and play. There is a private boardwalk leading to the community dock on the Bethany Canal where you can enjoy crabbing, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. If you are looking for additional exercise, there are also tennis courts to enjoy. Bike and boat rentals can be found nearby.

Bethany offers a family friendly experience including free weekend concerts at the bandstand, children's shows at the town hall, an inviting library, bike paths, shops and restaurants to enjoy. The boardwalk is the perfect place for a morning stroll, ice cream while enjoying a concert or dinner overlooking the ocean. The town sponsors weekly outdoor movies on the beach and bonfires with marshmallows for families to enjoy.

Property: Our home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The generous sized master bedroom has a queen bed, skylight, and a full bath with walk-in shower (with pull bar for safety). The second bedroom also has a queen size bed and full closet. The third bedroom has sturdy wood twin bunk beds. There is an upstairs full bath with tub and shower. The kitchen and baths are all recently renovated. There is an open concept floor plan with oversized windows and a sunny breakfast nook. Screened outdoor deck with gas grill for outdoor dining or relaxing in the evening.

The kitchen is fully supplied with all the essentials for cooking: pots and pans, utensils, serving dishes/platters, grilling utensils, coffee maker, toaster oven, refrigerator, electric range, oven, microwave, dishwasher. There is large kitchen table for gatherings, an outdoor table and a sunny breakfast nook. A washer and dryer are on the bedroom level.

There are TV's upstairs and downstairs and free wifi available. The living room includes comfy and cozy seating on Restoration Hardware sofas and oversized chairs with down cushions.

Our family has been spending our summers making memories in Bethany Beach for 30 years. I am happy to be a resource for you as you navigate activities, restaurants, or relaxation. This is a listing that we are confident you will want to revisit! We love our Steward's Watch home and hope you do too!

Clean quiet home with all the amenities yet close to town and beach

We loved our stay at this lovely home spending time with family. We enjoyed the property and was within walking distance of town. We definitely took advantage of the parking pass too on beach days. Great area restaurants. Also easy drive for day trips to OC and Assateague. We look forward to staying again!

Great stay at the beach

This was a great weekend getaway for our group. The residential parking pass was a clutch addition. Heads up, Bethany Beach is pretty strict about the shade options on the beach, so keep that in mind! Host was very responsive!

Beach townhouse

We love, love, loved the beach townhouse. It was just a few minute walk to the beach, boardwalk and restaurants! My kids enjoyed the pool and tennis courts daily. I liked walking arounded the shady wooded lot and down to the docks. The townhouse was clean as a whistle! Everything looked brand new and newly renovated. The house had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The owner, Kristen was so sweet to check in on us more than once to see of we needed anything! Would highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Great time at the beach

We had a wonderful time in Bethany. Kristen was very easy to communicate with. She even checked on us during our stay to make sure we were fine. The house itself was very convenient to us. We walked everywhere and could get to the beach pretty easily. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. We would stay there again. The only thing we would ask for would be a second key or keyless entry code so that our group can split up and come and go at different times. Thank you Krissy for letting us use your house:)

Great townhouse for a family

We had a great vacation in this property. If fit our family perfectly. The townhouse was lovely and had many updates throughout. It was a great location...pool was steps away and so was the dock. The beach was only a 10-15 minute walk. Also, the owner was great and was very easy to communicate with before and during the stay. I highly recommend this property!!

Clean, quiet, convenient

Rented this house for our family of 4 and my in-laws. We had plenty of space and it was really easy to get to the boardwalk by car or bike. The nearby pool was a huge plus! The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star review was that the mattress in the second bedroom was too hard on my back so I ended up sleeping on the couch.

Beautiful condo in a quiet Bethany Beach neighborhood

This was a beautiful condo in a quiet neighborhood, yet conveniently close to Bethany Beach. The property is clean with many tasteful updates, and is nicely decorated. The community pool was right around the corner, and the dock to the canal was a nice feature. We watched two storks fishing for their breakfast by the canal. The residential parking pass was very convenient, and made it very easy to find a spot very close to the beach. Kristen was a great host throughout our stay. We're so glad we took her up on her suggestion to take the guided kayak tour on Assateague. We will definitely be considering future beach getaways at this property.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Van Sice

Host profile image
I'm a stay at home mother of 3 boys living in Arlington, VA. Our family has vacationed in Bethany Beach for 30 years. We used to spend the majority of our summer in Bethany, but as my children have grown up, we find ourselves spending a lot of the summer weeks at baseball tournaments. I graduated from Wake Forest University where I studied chemistry. I'm very handy and have spent the past decade renovating houses. There is something magical about Bethany Beach that makes time slow down and shoulders relax. It might be the ice cream on the boardwalk, the great evening shows at the bandstand (free) or the salt air. I hope you get a chance to experience it!

Why they chose this property

Our family was the first to own in Steward's Watch, a private wooded community. Steward's watch is walkable to the beach and all the Town of Bethany activities, shops, and restaurants. But, it also a community tucked into a private enclave away from traffic and congestion.

What makes this property unique

Shared pool, tennis courts, pickle ball, and canal access for kayaking and crabbing. Close trolley access and bike/walk friendly.
