10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
My family and I loved staying in this home. There was plenty of space and many gathering areas for the 10 of us, and the pool was terrific. The elevator was extremely helpful for our disabled loved one. Would definitely stay here again!

There were a few minor issues at the beginning of our stay but the owners were easy to contact, very responsive and issues were resolved quickly. Everyone had a fun trip
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
This property met all our needs. More than adequate for our party of 12. There were other coffee makers but we chose to bring a Keurig. Does need a better can opener. Great to have 2 refrigerators. Convenient to Bethany and Rehobeth. Enjoyed the beach and the pool. Since the temps were high 80’s to 90’s, appreciated the partial shade at the pool. Being along Rt 1 was noisy outside at times but not a deal breaker. Running the ceiling fan was necessary to keep the temp manageable on the 3rd floor only when the outside temp went above 90. Elevator was a plus. Everyone agreed that we would love to stay there again.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Overall, the location is very close to the beach and the house is as described. The house is centrally located. As others have stated, when outside/in the backyard it is very loud. The property was ready early for check in, however there was not a through cleaning done before our arrival. The property had seemingly not been mopped or vacuumed in quite a bit, pool filter was not emptied etc. Beds were not comfortable, likely time for mattresses to be replaced.
