The sunsets are sensational.

Kayaking in Delaware:

Delaware has only 2,000 square miles, but with 117 miles of coastline, it has much to offer kayakers. In addition to beautiful launches at Cape Henlopen and Delaware Seashore state parks, there’s a lesser-known gem near South Bethany Beach. The three-mile-long Assawoman Canal, connecting the Indian River Bay (to the north) with the Little Assawoman Bay (to the south) is a charming, serene canal.
The canal is a 35-foot-wide no-wake zone. Many sections have a lovely tree canopy that makes a green arch over the canal. It feels remote, offers shade and shelters paddlers from strong wind. There’s a primitive, free launch site by the Jefferson Bridge off Kent Avenue. It is on Guy Street, an unmarked dirt road, 5 minutes from house.

YOU WILL NOT WANT TO LEAVE THIS HOUSE OR THE SCREENED PORCH!!! Don't miss out on reserving this one.

Perfect location for a holiday gathering!
The rental was perfect for celebrating Thanksgiving with family. The home is lovely....beautifully decorated, plenty of room to spread out, lots of seating, large well stocked kitchen, and nice size yard for our fur babies. Located in a gated community with a beautiful view of pond and fountain. Location was very close to many restaurants, shops, and, of course, the beach : ) . Grocery store conveniently located right across the street. Property manager was friendly, communicative and responded very promptly to questions.

Beautiful Home Not Far From the Beach
Our family had a wonderful time in this beautiful and spacious home not far from the beach! We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the view of the pond and fountain. Having a gym, swimming pool and playground within the gated community to use was a plus. We look forward to making more memories in this beautiful home.

Family Friendly
With 6 adults and 6 young children we were in the perfect location. The pool was a very easy, lovely walk away and delightful. It was never crowed and allowed for evening swimming. The closeness of the grocery store was a definite advantage for a large group, who seemed to need grocery trips on a daily basis. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the ocean and the quiet resort of Bethany Beach. We chose this location because of easy access to Route 1 (Coastal Highway) without having to travel congested roads to get to the beach. The drive to the sand/boardwalk is only 5 minutes via a back road. The tranquility of our SCREENED PORCH on the lake is our most popular feature. There is a ; seafood carryout and restaurants adjacent to our gated community. Bethany Lakes is 15 minutes to Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City.

What makes this property unique

The benefits of our location include non-congested drives to the Bethany Beach boardwalk, Fenwick Island, Ocean City, and Rehoboth Beach. The designer outlet stores are a 15 minute drive from Bethany. Our guests LOVE our screened porch with a table for crabs and sofa for an afternoon nap. There is a view of the lake and fountains from every window in the back of the house, including the loft with pool table. We have badminton/volleyball and croquet games for our lawn. Lots of yard space for kids to run and play. The lake is stocked with bass on a catch and release basis so bring your fishing rods! , There is a basketball hoop. Our community is gated, providing safety for guests and their families; across the street from a grocery store . There are three master suites with adjoining baths in our home.
