New listing! Waterfront retreat just minutes to the beach. Sleeps 14

This fully renovated home in the gated community of Heron Bay is perfect for your next family gathering in Bethany Beach! Just one mile to the beach, this beautifully decorated home comfortably sleeps 14 and offers three levels of waterfront decking with breathtaking views. The main deck also includes a screened porch, and you can rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower. Paddleboards and kayaks are available for your use at the house - just walk out back and launch onto Salt Pond!

Inside, the elevator helps get everything and everyone settled. The fully stocked kitchen makes big family dinners a snap, and the kitchen bar area next to the dining room ensures that everyone can enjoy meals together. The house has two master bedrooms with king beds and ensuite bathrooms - one on the 2nd floor and one on the 3rd floor/main level. A Jack and Jill bathroom with double sinks connects the other two bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The 5th bedroom can be found in the loft area on the 4th floor and has a queen bed along with a twin sleeper sofa for a quiet retreat.

Your family can spread out in two living rooms - one on the second floor that includes a wet bar and another on the 3rd/main floor off the kitchen and dining areas. Amenities include central air, enhanced WiFi, washer/dryer, gas grill, 6 smart TVs, and an on-demand water heater to make sure everyone gets a hot shower!

We want this vacation to be easy and enjoyable for you - bed linens, bath towels and beach towels are provided. Hair dryers, soaps, shampoos, paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, trash and food storage bags and cleaning/laundry supplies are also provided to ease your packing, as well as 10 beach chairs. You'll find a variety of games, puzzles, books and toys at the house.

The house is also available to rent in the off season - heated floors in the master bathroom and two gas fireplaces keep the house cozy all year long, and the dedicated workspace in the loft has great water views to get you through the workday.

Please note:
- Minimum age of 25 to rent.
- Minimum stay of 3 nights.
- Bed linens, bath towels/hand towels/washcloths, and beach towels are included.
- Parking for 4-5 cars.
- $300 refundable damage deposit to be paid before arrival. Fully refundable immediately once cleaner confirms the property is in good order (trash removed and placed in receptacles outside and no damages beyond normal wear and tear).
- For your safety, the house is equipped with a Ring doorbell and an exterior driveway camera. The cameras do not look into any interior spaces and they do not record video or sound while guests are in residence.
- Effective September 2024, the state of Delaware implemented a 4.5% rental tax to be paid on all short-term rentals.

This is an excellent house and Sara is an excellent, communicative, responsive and gracious host. A perfect home for a large family. Beautiful, well-appointed, near everything but still quiet. So many wonderful spaces for contemplating the gorgeous water and landscape, reading, bird watching or family game playing. Kayaking in the salt pond was a private tour of nature. We loved it!!

This home had amazing water views, was very well stocked with all that we needed for a large family to feel at home and enjoy a family beach vacay! The owner was great to work with and always responsive if we had a question. We used the elevator for our daughter and master bedroom shower was accessible enough to bathe her easily. Thank you, Sara! We hope to return!
