About this property

Ocean and Dolphin View

Located in Tower Shores, Bethany DE a quiet, friendly community on a large, sparkling private beach. Next to Delaware State Park with ocean fishing and Nature Preserve. Next past the Inlet is Coin Beach where visitors hunt for coins from the wreck of the 1700 Century Ship The Faithful Stewart. Next is Dewey Beach with its nightlife and music venue. Then Rehoboth with its famous boardwalk, numerous shops, and restaurants to please all. Families with toddlers to teens love the boardwalk with a wholesome vibe. Across route 1 are three large Tanger Outlet malls for tax free shopping. Take an inexpensive cruise on the Lewes Ferry to Cape May NJ and search for Cape May "Diamonds" on the beach and view the Victorian Homes.
Our house's first level has a covered deck, an enclosed shower with hot and cold water, a grill and a dining table. Find beach chairs and toys there. Inside is the first bedroom with bunked single beds and a pull out single couch. A half bath and a flat screen tv. The second floor living room has a pull out queen couch, a table for 4 to play games on or dine. A smart tv with dvd player and dvds. The new fresh kitchen is stocked with anything you might need and a table and 6 dining chairs. Lovely Ocean views as you dine. The powder room has a full size washer dryer and a wide vanity. There is a replica of a Pie Safe full of games and puzzles. The third floor has a ocean front bedroom with a flat screen tv and a king bed. My favorite bedroom you can see and hear the waves, and on a rainy night be lulled to sleep by the raindrops falling on the deck overhead. The back bay bedroom has two twins. The bath has a shower and tub and a wide vanity. The fourth floor master suite has a king bed, a bath with tub and shower and a lovely large vanity and a marble floor. This large bedroom has a seating area near the flat screen tv a french door to the large deck with comfortable furniture. Sunbath or watch the vivid stars at night over the Ocean. In the morning you will often see passing dolphins as they frolic in the ocean in front of you. One lucky day a young whale passed by spouting a greeting on his trip up the coast. In Tower Shores there is a playground and a first rate restaurant called Matt's Fish Camp. You won't be disappointed with our community or our house. Welcome

Plenty of dolphins
The property is in a nice, quiet beachfront community. Our first impressions of the place were thats its a throwback to the 70's with the pink carpet and blue bathroom. It was clean and had 3 flights of stairs to get to the masterbedroom with the deck looking out over the ocean. Plenty of dolphins strolled by and the view was excellent, the property is located perfectly to see the ocean. The bedrooms were small but quiant with a second floor living area and kitchen. There was enough room for seating if you pulled the one table away from the wall which was inconvenient but not impossible. The first floor had a bedroom and a back entrance with a table and chairs, outdoor shower, and grill. The grill was fairly new and fired up right away. We have stayed at some places that that was not the case. Overall impressions of the place were positive and we enjoyed our stay there. The beach was just a minute walk away which made everybody happy. The price was reasonable too. The only negative comments that I would have is the pink carpet needs to be replaced as it is worn almost all the way through at the bottom of the masterbedroom stairs. The stairs are narrow and getting your luggage up to the 4th floor is not easy, especially for seniors but thats no fault of the owners. A younger family would probably not mind the stairs as much. The owner was just a phone call away and very responsive but the address was not complete in the VRBO listing which made for some confusion.

Quiet, cozy and close to the beach
Very nice location for a relaxing beach stay. Family members can sun on the roof deck or go to the beach. The second floor family room has an excellent view of the ocean.

A great short walk to the beach!
I have to say that Jean was very accommodating! We had an unexpected family event which caused us to cut our trip short. She was very understanding and helped us get through a tough time. The property is nice and the beds are comfortable. The views you get of the beach from the top bedroom and main rooms are exceptional. Bring bug spray if you are out at night as there are many mosquitoes. The neighborhood is really quiet and the neighbors are friendly. Looking forward to next year already!

About the host

Hosted by Jean Houghton

Host profile image
We are a family of four who have seldom rented just a few weeks sharing with extended family and friends. We just joined VRBO last summer.

Why they chose this property

Our families both came from the DC area and brought us here as children. Just a bit over 3 hours from the DC area and always has been a tranquil, quiet area with a glorious beach and opportunities for family fun. We wanted a place we could enjoy with our children and now our granddaughters.

What makes this property unique

We chose this house because it is on the most stable, beautiful beach in the entire area and Is a welcome escape from daily chores and work. The lovely Ocean views from three levels sealed the deal.
