Great off-season visit to Bethany

The Purple Pearl is a lovely house in a great location in South Bethany. Even off season we enjoyed the amazing screened patio (with infrared heater!). The house was comfortable and had everything we needed as a family.

Out of season oasis

My husband, pup and I stayed at the Purple Pearl for Thanksgiving and it was everything we hoped for. We spent alot of time on the porch under the heater and on the dock when it was warm. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our feast. The beach is so close, we walked there multiple times a day. We hope to spend time here again soon.

The little purple house💜

The property was very cute ...Loved the fenced in yard for my dogs... The outside area is excellent...Wish the living room furniture was a little bit more comfortable but if it were summer time you would probably only be using the outside.

Loving the Purple Pearl

We had another great stay at the Purple Pearl for our annual girls’ trip! Our needs were anticipated with instructions, amenities, a suggestion book, and everything we needed for a great stay. As a mom, I recommend this place for a girls trip or a family trip. The house is a great size, walking distance to the beach, very clean, fantastic screened in porch, and a nice little dock on the canal. We will definitely be back!

Quick getaway

We booked the Purple Pearl for a 4 day weekend. The house was pretty much as pictured. As with a lot of rentals we have stayed in, the state of the house takes a toll with so many people staying there. It was fairly clean but the furniture, bathrooms, kitchen were in different stages of wear. A lot of times when rental agencies are involved they don't alert the owners to existing problems. The owners were super nice and helpful. The house was perfect for boardwalk and nights on the beach. Very convenient for sure. The best part of the house is the screened in back porches! Plus a bike was there for my 12 year old to use. We would definitely recommend the property, it just needs a little refreshing.

Brooks' 1st vacation

Great location as far as proximity to beach, right on canal, convenient to everything, the calm between Rehobeth and Ocean City! Unfortunately, we did not get full use of the wonderful screened porches, as the weather was more winter-like! House is dated, but a great value at the rate. Dirty dishes in dishwasher, not sure it works too good. Remotes for everything but the commodes! Fenced yard was the absolute perfect setup for our lab pup! Only treed/shaded lot on the street must be awesome in summer weather! Once our hosts got the heat on for us, we enjoyed our 1st vacation in 5 years comfortably! Listing and amenities is accurate, gas grill with xtra tank for outdoor cooking, crab pot on dock (not running till mid-June I was told). Good food reviews from Bethany Blues, Matt's Fish Camp in Fenwick, and Buck a Shuck oysters just north of Bethany on bayside! Bob, Kay & Brooks

Bon Voyage (Uterus) Tour ‘24

It. Is. FABULOUS!!!!! & if you play your cards right, you never need to go indoors :) The deck…. oh. em. geeeez! Sincerely, we used only the deck for most of the weekend. More seating than you can fathom. Outdoor smart TV. Infrared heater. Rope lights. Separate beverage fridge. Disco ball, lol! Magnetic door- screens to avoid the bugs, if ya don’t like buggies… Our 4-legged girls looooooved the fenced back yard! … ok, maybe mommy/ daddy liked it a liiiitle bit more ‘cause the girls could roam freely & we didn’t need to be a helicopter furbaby parent lol The upstairs master area is a dream as well- big screened in porch! The nature sounds lulled us to sleep every night :) Ceiling heater in the upstairs bathroom too- it came in handy during our rainy cool weekend. Kitchen was nicely stocked. Bring spices if you are a bit more culinarily advanced. Dishwasher & a ginormo cutting board! Gas grill just outside the deck! I honestly don’t know how our hosts let anyone else use it- I would never leave. It was perfect for our weekend- before- surgery. My brains feel relaxed & ready :)

Great getaway!

The Purple Pearl was a fantastic spot for a weekend getaway with our kids and dog. Lots of space, great location, and the large screened in porch was amazing! We usually stay in Ocean City during our trips to the beach, but we would definitely visit this house in Bethany again.

Keep coming back!

This was our second year staying at this fabulous rental. This time we brought King sized sheets so we could enjoy the upstairs bedroom. I officially need a King sized bed in my life. I also love that it is separated from the rest of the house since my Husband goes to bed late and I get up early! Huge fan of the fenced in yard for our pup!!! Will be renting again next year if this is available during the convention <3

Anniversary Getaway

This is an awesome property! The house is perfect for what we needed. My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days for our anniversary but of course wanted to bring the dogs as well. The dogs loved the back yard area as well as us. Fenced in area that allowed them to roam while we enjoyed the outside porch area. The chilly days/evenings were nice with the touch of the heater on the porch. The house had pretty much everything you needed to live and more. Would recommend this to anyone and will be booking again in the future.

Great location and cool house on a quiet street and canal! Minutes from the beach!

We loved our stay at The Purple Pearl! Great house minutes from the beach! It has a main house then the master suite upstairs separate from the house. The porches are huge overlooking the canal. They have anything and everything you could think of at the house. The only cons we saw were: the place wasn't as clean as we expected. Pretzels on the couch (behind the pillows), the master bedroom's walls by the headboard were pretty dusty and I couldn't get the shower door open without almost breaking it. So I had to take a shower downstairs. The owner has a cleaning crew so the cleanliness is not the owner's fault. She was very nice and communicative and accommodating. Overall, we would have no problem staying here again! Hopefully we can stay when it's warmer outside to fully enjoy the backyard and beach. Meg & DJ are great hosts with a very cool house! Thank you so much!

Just what the doctor ordered

We needed a place to stay for the week to be close to my parents during a hospital stay. The house was perfect for our needs. We took our dog and the fenced in yard made it easy for him to go out. The primary bedroom location allowed us to have privacy while we worked. While this wasn’t necessarily a vacation we couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.

The Purple Pearl was exactly what my family needed. We wanted and needed a stress free Christmas this year and this rental delivered. Upon arrival we were greeted with a lit tree that truly made my day. The owners were always quick to respond to any questions we had - even with it being a holiday weekend. Highly recommend renting the Purple Pearl.
