We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and had a bunch of convenient amenities. We especially loved the screened in porch! Lots of kids stuff available for use at the house, which was appreciated. Close distance to grocery stores and short drive to the beach. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Our family of 8 had an amazing time at the Sea Turtle! There wasn’t anything that Kathy did not think of to accommodate guests and ensure that our stay was comfortable and convenient . From the stocked kitchen of pots and pans, children’s utensils, coffee, seasonings , to being able to relax on the deck, or having games and toys for both children and adults, and to having extra pillows or sheets if necessary . There was more than enough space inside and outside of the house especially with essentially 2 living room areas and plenty of yard space. Not once did we feel crowded. The sea turtle was conveniently located to the beach and other fun things to do (such as The Millville Boardwalk) and easily accessible to a grocery store when we realized we needed extra items. This property was great and our family will definitely be returning again whenever we plan to stay at Bethany beach! Thank you Kathy!

Perfect for a Family!
The Sea Turtle had everything needed for a family vacation. The house was very comfortable and stocked with so many items. The shed had everything needed to enjoy the backyard, canal, biking and/or beach. A great location with just a few minutes from the beach and a grocery store across the street that has everything. The backyard was very secure and easy to see kids playing while on the screened in porch or in the kitchen! Parking at the beach with the Park mobile app was super easy and access was always just a few steps away from the car. We saw our first Horseshoe Crab at Bethany Beach and had a wonderful time at the Sea Turtle.

The house was fully equipped with everything you would need for a home away from home. It was so nice not to have to bring all of our own beach items since the house had exactly what we needed for a family of 4. I would definitely stay here again!

Our short getaway
Very impressed with the property. Description was right on point. Relative close to the beach. The kitchen was well supplied. Master bedroom very comfortable. I slept like a baby upon return from all day at the beach. The outdoor shower is a big plus.
If I would come again to Bethany - I'm a Caribbean girl and the water is too cold for me - i would definitely stay here.
The owner was very responsive, always responded within 30 minutes of my messages. Great host!

Very comfortable home, great host!
The home was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well-appointed. Between that and the grill, eating in was very convenient- especially with the grocery store just across the street! The only small drawback was the traffic noise - the home is on an open corner lot on a very busy road, so enjoying the screened porch/hammock was a bit dampened by that. We were able to bike quite a bit - the area has great bike infrastructure. We found a ramp at the back of the neighborhood to kayak into the Assawoman canal from, that was a great perk - it’s protected even on a very windy day. The fenced in backyard with many lawn games was delightful, and the outdoor shower came in handy - thanks Kathy!

Outstanding
Our entire three night stay was fantastic! The house was very spacious, extremely clean, and packed with all of the essentials and conveniences that you’re used to in your own home. We absolutely loved the screened in porch, the outdoor shower, the board games, and the shed filled with all the necessary beach gear. The location was great! We were near the grocery store, gas station, many restaurants, and less than a ten minute drive to the beach! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!

Everything you need and more!
Very close to the beach and the host was very responsive! Loved the screened in porch and they have pretty much everything you need for any activity (beach chairs, kayaks, fishing poles, bicycles). Really enjoyed staying there and would definitely stay again. The only downside was that the house is close to the main road so you will hear cars driving by, but it wasn't bothersome.
