Great house

I stayed here for 10 weeks and the house was very convenient with it being right on the trolley route. Ajar and his wife were wonderful and staying in constant communication making sure eveything was going well since I was there for such a long stay. I loved my first summer in Bethany and look forward to many more.

Vacation

The location was great with a very short drive to the beach. The back deck and porch were great for the whole family. The house clearly had some appliance and other home upgrades (dishwasher, refrigerator, roof, and TV's). The beds were comfortable. However the house had a musty moist stinky smell in a lot of rooms. Water spots on the ceiling. Some rooms did not seem like they have been cleaned all summer. There were bottles left under a bed, dog fur all over, dust, and spider webs in corners, etc. There were a lot of roofing nails all over the front and back yard. We were not comfortable with using the dishes or utensils due to the lack of cleanliness inside the drawers. We had to clean the washer, toaster, and some living spaces. Also, the pans seemed too old and scratched. We purchased some when we were there. It seems like the house needs a deep, thorough cleaning. It would help a lot. It did not have a pool table or working fireplace as stated in the description. The owner did reach out to ask how we were doing. The kids loved the trolley ride, which picked us up directly in front of the house. Overall we did truly enjoy our trip though.

Great location and plenty of space!

Wonderful experience! The neighborhood is amazing, the house has plenty of space, and the hosts were super communicative! 2 living rooms made the kids happy. Lots of space for my dogs. I have never had a host be so friendly and available! Definitely recommend!

Nice location, beautiful surroundings, strong musty smell, aspects not suitable for rental

The backyard and back deck are lovely and idyllic. There is a creek/canal in the back and it is very peaceful to look at. The neighborhood is quiet and charming too. They also have a pool table and a grill for guests to use. Also, there is a very easy entry through the garage and we ended up not even needing to find or use the keys. The downsides: The house has a bad, musty odor. We arrived at 10pm (after hanging out nearby with the rest of our family at the house where they were staying) only to find that there were people in the house. We called the owner and were told they were probably the cleaners. It turned out that they were. They were finishing up. He was not at all apologetic. And check in was much earlier so we would have arrived at a dirty rental. We also couldn’t find the sheets and had to track them down. Again, the person was not apologetic and made it our problem. We eventually found 3 sets of queen/full sheets but no King size that would fit the largest bed (which is a King). So we had to borrow sheets from our relatives’ house in order to be able to sleep in the bed. The King size bed was overly soft, likely very old and gave me back pain. We had to also borrow an air mattress from our relatives because I couldn’t sleep in that bed. Also, the full size bed in the bedroom nearest the steps was broken (the bottom right leg) when we got there. My sister had to put a pile of books underneath the metal frame to hold it up. Otherwise that side collapsed. It was a bad feeling to arrive at a place that isn’t being checked upon to make sure it is suitable for guests/renters. My niece ended up sleeping in her parents’ bed because the bed that was broken also was way too soft and uneven. It seemed like a rental that was not being looked after. Overall this place could be so nice if they updated the beds, no broken ones, if they got rid of the musty smell, and if they had clear consistency about where things are (sheets) and had the place cleaned before check in.

Convenient location!

The house is very conveniently located on the Beach Trolley route and near everything! Could easily accommodate 8-10 for sleeping. A little tight for gathering that many inside, though. Lovely deck, screen porch and yard. On the canal. Deer in the morning! Comfortable homey atmosphere.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this house.

This house provided the amount of room needed for our family and the neighborhood was extremely nice. The whole family loved riding the trolley to the beach and back into town in the evening. The screened in porch was relaxing and the deck provided ample room for the family to dine outside. The only negative comment I could say is that the house could benefit from a bit of TLC.

Good Vacation Property close to Bethany Beach

We had a great stay in the "Beach Lovers Retreat." Enjoyed the spaciousness of the home, inside & out & had a great week with our children & grandchildren, plenty of room for all of us to be together. The property was well maintained, and the hosts were very responsive to our questions. The proximity to the beach & "downtown" was good; can be easily walked or you can conveniently ride the trolley (.25 cents) that picked us up in front of the house.
