Wonderful beach home

This property met all our needs. More than adequate for our party of 12. There were other coffee makers but we chose to bring a Keurig. Does need a better can opener. Great to have 2 refrigerators. Convenient to Bethany and Rehobeth. Enjoyed the beach and the pool. Since the temps were high 80’s to 90’s, appreciated the partial shade at the pool. Being along Rt 1 was noisy outside at times but not a deal breaker. Running the ceiling fan was necessary to keep the temp manageable on the 3rd floor only when the outside temp went above 90. Elevator was a plus. Everyone agreed that we would love to stay there again.
