Bear Trap Dunes Resort/Premier Resort
5 STAR PREMIER PROPERTY! Our 98+ reviews speak for themselves! Please see our reviews and get tips, advice and glowing happiness from past guests. Renovated and updated every year.
Bear Trap Dunes is located in Ocean View, Delaware on the border of Bethany, less than 3 miles from the Atlantic ocean and the Bethany Beach boardwalk.
We welcome your dog with a few considerations. All dogs must be at least one years old and house broken. Dog mus be no to low shedding. Limit to 1 dog unless permission by owner .
Our house is in perfect condition and we are the original owners. Every year we update our property--new rugs, shower curtains, and lots of improvements. We just redecorated the master bedroom with new king size bed and linens, new queen beds on second floor, black out curtains and shutters. We installed new flooring upstairs and we replaced our washer and dryer with new larger capacity Kenmore w/d. In 2024 we replaced all of the kitchen appliances and added a new television in the first floor bedroom. We also updated the family room lighting. In 2025 we changed out all the bedding and renovated the powder room. We also added new lighting in the kitchen and added pendant lights.
Although we rent our beach house, we also vacation at our BTD home, so it is important that the beach house is a wonderful place for your vacation and ours!
We ask that our guests and their family and friends are non-smokers--we live in a friendly neighborhood. Our neighbors are also our friends who we know and respect, and if there is smoking in or near the house, they get the smoke too. Thanks for your understanding.
The kitchen is well supplied with all you could need even a blender, coffee grinder, frother for lattes, Keurig and Hamilton Dual Coffee Machine with pod and carafe service, cookie sheets, cooling rack, and lots of baking pans/sheets/muffin tins. There are lots of kitchen gadgets for cooks or grill masters!
The house is well equipped and has new smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Brand new 65” LCD Smart TV for the family room and a new 45” TV in the downstairs bedroom. There are 2 40" TVs in the upstairs bedrooms and another smaller TV upstairs in the bonus room. We installed a wireless entry for no hassle with keys and easy entry for all of your family and friends. The code is deleted after your stay and the new guests get a new code for security.
The downstairs Bedroom has a firm king bed and a private en suite bathroom. Upstairs you will find 2 large bedrooms; in one bedroom is a queen bed/with new bedding/decorating and the shared buddy bath leads to a perfect family bedroom or kid's bedroom with a queen bed and 2 twin beds.
The bonus room has a twin bed, wardrobe with a small tv. All of the bedrooms are newly decorated and have fresh quilts/pillows and linens. You can find a brand new large Kenmore washer and dryer in the downstairs laundry room with high tech features.
The large front porch has a swing, 2 Adirondack chairs and 2 comfortable rocking chairs. It is a wonderful and quiet space to enjoy your morning coffee or to watch the sunset in the evening.
The garage has 3 adult bikes. You will also find lots of beach and pool toys for your use. There is also a large wood table and chairs in the garage if you want to add extra outdoor seating for family gatherings.

Lovely, comfortable home near Bethany Beach and other Delaware beaches
We had a great stay in this lovely home! The location was great too. This home is well equipped, well-maintained, well-decorated and very comfortable. The neighborhood is very nice. We were also able to bring our doggies with us, so that made it even better! We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood and we were able to take the dogs on the Bethany Beach Boardwalk, and onto the beach and in the ocean, during the off-season. The hosts, Jolie and Rob, were great in answering any questions we had before, and during our stay, as needed. We had a great time at this lovely home and hope to be able to return in the future!

Great Vacation Spot
My family had a terrific time at Bethany Beach. The house was perfect, big, clean, cozy, and well decorated. We enjoyed the club house; my son said the equipment is better than Planet Fitness. I think that says a lot!! We plan to visit again next year. You can't beat this house in a very nice community.

Amazing property near Bethany Beach
The house was "wow"! True to the description. The neighborhood was great! We went for a couple of bike rides nearby and found one of the old radar stations. Had a nice meal at the Bear Trap cafe. When not at the beach, we enjoyed hanging out on the great front porch and the screened-in porch. The owners welcomed us via text and were readily accessible. We visited Bethany Beach, Gordons Pond/Cape Henlopen in Rehoboth, Lewes, Assateague (be careful of the horses), and enjoyed a dinner at Ocean City, MD. Great vacation!

When we got to the house it was spotless. She left a bottle of wine, dog bowls and dog toys! It was such a cute gesture.
My grandparents used to live in the neighborhood and it reminded us of their home.

Peaceful vacation
Our stay in this beautiful home was relaxing and peaceful. The house is on a quiet street in a golf community. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch every day and evenings on the screened porch in the back of the house. The extra fee for the use of the pool and shuttle was well worth it. We spent our beach days at Fenwick Island Beach State Park and took the shuttle in to Bethany Beach a couple of times. It was very convenient and the driver dropped us right off at our front door! There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 children. I wound definitely recommend this vacation home!

Family vacation in Bethany
We had a wonderful stay in Bethany. House was located in a lovely neighborhood and the club house had beautiful views of the sunset. The Coastal Kitchen had great food and drinks. The house had everything you need for a great stay. It was very spacious and had plenty of room for a family of 8. The gym and pool was nice and there were plenty of other activities to do there. Communication was good with the owner. The only issue we ran into was with the shuttle that runs to and from the beach. The one day they were only running one bus and we ended up waiting over an hour to get picked up from the beach. We decided after that it would be easier to drive to the beach and park our cars. This may have just happened when we stayed there and might not be a common occurrence. Overall we had a good experience. Thanks again to the owners!
