Beach Lovers Retreat on the Bethany Beach Canal 4BR/2.5BA-spec offer 7/9 -7/16

The house was the perfect size and location for us. Having a parking pass to use at the beach was a huge plus. Upon arrival, we saw a fox run through the woods and we also saw a deer just hanging out behind the house. There was plenty of room to spread out. The kids could watch something in one room and the adults the other.Ajay was responsive and available if we had any questions. The only negatives, were the floors were'nt the cleanest. I realize your at the beach and you're going to have sand, but the bathrooms had hair, etc. as well. I'm not sure when the house was rented prior to our arrival, but there was food left in the frig, we dumped the milk, but left the other items. The only other thing is, I'd remove the mention about kayaking in the canal for a couple reasons. 1: the canal is very dirty and 2: there really wasn't an easy way to scale the bank to get to the water. Oh and the beds, there are actually 1 king, 2 queen and 1 full size bed. It wasn't an issue for us though. All in all, we had a great vacation and would stay here again. Thank you.

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.

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.
