Loved the house! It was better in person than the pics. It was well decorated and spacious inside & out. The AC worked great. The hot tub was a nice amenity. Never thought I would use in the summer but it was very nice and clean. If I had to make any suggestions it would be to supply those luggage folding racks to keep your suit case on since 2 of the bedrooms don’t have dressers and add some more hangers to the closets and lastly, add an additional outdoor umbrella over the picnic table. But overall, it was a great stay and will book again!

Perfect for the beach

Overall, great stay. The outdoor space was perfect. It was so nice to have activities at the home so we didn’t always have to leave. Easy to get to grocery shopping and the National Seashore. Short drive to downtown Bethany. The inside was as expected. Nothing fancy, but it got the job done. After all, at the beach I’m not looking to spend a lot of time indoors, anyway. Indoor showers are extremely cramped, but we all used the spacious outdoor shower. Again, overall, a very positive experience!

Great place to stay

The house was clean and a lot of extras. The grandchildren caught crab in the canal and there was room for them to play. They also had kayaks to go down the canal. We were very pleased.

Bow Street

We did enjoy our stay at Bow Street. It had all that was needed. We loved the back room and patio for the mornings. It was very quiet. Although the first morning, the neighbors lawn service were mowing and weed whacking very early. Other than that it was quiet. We did have to sweep and vacuum when we first arrived, other than that it was clean. I think we left it cleaner than when we arrived. It was close enough and yet far enough to the beach and shops. We would certainly recommend this place to others.

The Home was exceptionally spaced out with furnishings & layout. I would stay again.

The check in process was quick; however, there could have been better communication with the fees that were applied after check out. Overall, I was satisfied with the outcome though. Thank you.

Canalside Retreat

Loved the canalside location and outdoor patios. Nice sized family room and sun/screen porch areas. Easy 10-minute drive to Bethany for beach time; we also explored the very close James Farm Ecological Preserve and went kayaking there.

We loved the property.

It was close enough to the beach (8 minute car ride) but far enough from the congestion of Bethany Beach. The canal out back was so nice to sit by. Would be great if you had your own water toys. I would add some dressers in the back bedrooms. Fairly clean but some giant dust bunnies in the bathrooms. Would definitely rent again.

Wonderful Stay On The Lake

My sister, her spouse, niece, and children had a wonderful time in this charming home on the lake. We had a beautiful time celebrating our mom’s 80th birthday.
