The place was fine. There were some issues and I will do my best to make sure moving forward to make sure the property has a property manager. We have always booked with Vacasa for our vacations and never had an issue.

My family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed the location and homey feel of our home. This was our 2nd summer here in this house and really enjoyed it. Just had 1 issue but reached out to Art and responded very quickly on how to fix it. Thanks again for sharing your home with us.

Great week at the beach
My family had a wonderful stay here. The property was clean and exactly how it looks in the pictures. The small development was so lovely with the boats docked and small pier where my daughter caught her first fish! Art was prompt to reply when I had a question and we would definitely stay again next time in Bethany Beach.

Great vacation spot!
Really enjoyed staying at Art’s place - clean house, had everything we needed, very nice dog friendly community, not far from the beach and a cute private area on the water as well. The photos do not do it justice. We would definitely visit again.

This is a lovely property in a quiet area. We were looking for a rental with a pool and that allowed pets; this fit the bill. Close to several DE beaches; we even went to Ocean City, MD. House was very clean, too.

If you want a great vacation, go to Sandy Cove. Gorgeous area and everything you would ever want. The townhome we rented was fully equipped. So many things to do in the area yet very quiet. Perfect for big family.

Me and my kids thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful townhouse and being away from the hubbub of the township. Beach was an easy 10 minute drive. Very good restaurants nearby and a decent grocery store were a plus. We’d book here again.

Excellent Family Vacation
Great location and home very welcoming. Short drive to beaches. Enjoyed being able to walk to the bay to kayak and paddle board and swim in the pool. Kitchen was very well equipped for preparing meals. Greatly appreciated having paper towels, tissues, toilet tissue and hand soap provided. Had a wonderful time making priceless memories with our children and grandchildren! Thank you Art!

Bethany Stay a Hit
Place very comfortably furnished and clean. Kitchen well stocked. Quiet location. There is a very small private beach area & fishing pier (unmarked so ask). Pool a bit small as shown, but kids happy. We had TV joystick issues and a garbage disposal glitch one night, but owner quick to respond to that and questions. I would definitely recommend this location. Check out James Farm Eco Reserve nearby. Great kayaking and relaxing, clean, in crowded beach.

great get away
We enjoyed staying here very much. We loved the dock and the views. The house was spacious enough for everyone in our family. The 2 things that we thought could be improved were: first, we missed having cable, and second, the bed in the upstairs master bedroom was uncomfortable. However, I am going to say again that we enjoyed staying here very much and I would stay here again.

Absolutely Loved staying here! The property is in a great location. Easy to get to so many different beaches, plus loved having access to the bay. We were able to go paddle boarding and bike riding and then jump in the pool. Definitely recommend and can't wait to go back!
