About this house rental
Fabulous open living area on the first level. Screened in porch overlooking the canal. Upper deck for sunning, reading and relaxing. 3 bedroom, 2 full baths. Great sun room. Easy walk or drive to the beach. Dock on the canal for easy boat launching. Great for Kayaks. After a full day at the beach return to quiet canal setting. House has been lovingly maintained and cared for by our family. Perfect place for catching crabs off of the dock.
During the offseason in 2020-2021 we continued to make improvements to the house. We re-painted the master bedroom.

Absolutely loved the stay here! My family and I spent about a week there. It is very conveniently located near Bethany Beach, South Bethany Beach, and only about 35 minutes from Ocean City if you go at low traffic times. Exploring the boardwalks near enough to home base was ideal. Walking to South Bethany Beach is advisable if you can do it. All of the restaurants and grocery stores are very reasonably close to the accommodation with great recommendations from the host. The host is very focused on keeping the place clean and in great condition with regular updates. It is definitely worth making the effort to keep it that way so everyone who visits can enjoy it. The location is quiet, which was perfect for my small family as we prefer quiet. No loud parties or people blaring music at top volume is a definite plus. We always check the crime rate wherever we go and this part of town has such a low crime rate that the Google AI summary says 0.0 crimes per 100,000 people. If you want to relax, this is an ideal spot. The host was also very responsive. There was a small and unpredictable maintenance issue that occurred near the end of our stay and the host was on top of things within a few minutes of my message with a full resolution as promised the same day. I want to stress that issue was nothing anyone could prevent and is no different than what any homeowner encounters from time to time and the host handled it with perfection. Definitely worth staying here!

We all loved this cozy beach cottage, especially the screened back porch overlooking the canal. The kitchen was spacious and easy for multiple people to be in there fixing meals. We always ate on the porch, lingering over dinners. We were treated to a visit from a pair of ducks and a heron, so beautiful! The indoor table was perfect for a 1000 piece puzzle finished by many contributors! Mary Ann was great to work with, always so helpful! She worked with the next renters to find a lost Apple Watch and it was promptly sent back. We’d love to stay again next year, just need everyone’s schedules to line up!

Lovely quaint property within biking distance to the beach. Communication with owner was wonderful. Disagree with an extra cleaning fee that was charged at weeks end- property was left in very clean condition. We cleaned even more than what was requested in the paperwork. Would take pictures next time and request pictures of what required “extra cleaning time.” Disappointing way to end and overall nice vacation
