Beautiful house with panoramic views of bay and nightly sunsets! Easy walk directly across street to beach with lifeguard. Private dock made fishing, crabbing and kayaking fun and easy. Kayaks/oars were in mint condition and life preservers were also available. Arrival/check in was very smooth. Spacious bedrooms with all large beds that were made up with towels in each room. Bathrooms very clean and supplied with plenty of amenities, soaps, TP, tissues etc.Well appointed kitchen for those who love to cook also with plenty of papergoods.Very large decks with plenty of furniture on both floors gave plenty of room for our large group to spread out.Screened in porch is a huge plus!Plenty of parking space for us and our kids.Short drive to Bethany and Rehoboth.Checkout easy as just had to put linens/towels in bag for service to pick up on check out morning- many other rentals have you clean all before you leave.Looking forward to our next stay!

Some hiccups with the house,etc that were addressed quickly. House is dated and needs some TLC- but may have been due to end of season. We are people that cook- lots of pots and pans- no serving pieces; mixing bowls etc- a few added would go along way. Walk to the beach; quiet command the view are the best!!

We enjoyed our stay at this spacious, waterfront home that is beautifully decorated with a nautical theme. From the decks on both levels, we watched and photographed fabulous sunsets over Indian River Bay. Wharton's Cove residents and vacationers have direct access to spectacular, private Bethany Beach just a short walk away. All that is needed is a little patience to get directly to the ocean across Coastal Highway 1, which includes a path for biking enthusiasts. This residence is located at the beginning of the Delaware Seashore State Park and there's no other residence towards the north in Wharton's Cove. It's a great spot for kayaking on the bay and its channels, for fishing and for observing wildlife, especially birds. The beds in the home were very comfortable so we slept well. It was a great stay and easy for our family to comply with social distancing regulations. Thank you for this wonderful week.
