Waterfront Bethany Beach Retreat - Minutes to Beach

There's space for the whole family in this open and airy canal-front home, a nature oasis only minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Bethany Beach. Launch the provided kayak from the private dock to explore the Salt Pond, draft around the marsh, and watch for local wildlife.

THE SPACE
Enjoy stunning marsh views from three tiers of furnished decks, including a lovely screened porch where you can lounge on the outdoor sectional overlooking the canal. Prepare a casual lunch in the full kitchen inside, and then bring it out to the picnic table on the covered patio to dine in a serene setting. The yard is beautifully landscaped, and there's a cornhole set for guests who love lawn games.

The house's interior is bright with natural light, especially in the living area with its soaring ceiling and big picture windows that display the picturesque, tree-dotted landscape. The bedrooms are all tastefully decorated, and the primary bedroom on the main level offers private access to the front-facing balcony. There is a sofa bed in the loft for an additional sleeping option.

As night settles in, walk the stone path to gather around the canal-side firepit or recline on the upper deck's lounge chairs for some stargazing.

Great family-friendly rental

We had a great stay at Eric’s beach house — especially loved the screen-in porch, comfy living room, huge master suite, little dock and fire pit. We had a full house with four young kids and were very comfortable. Recommended!
