We had a lovely stay at this house! It was beautifully decorated, bright, and fresh! All the kitchen cabinetry was organized so it was easy to replace dishes and pans where they belonged. It was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Everyone felt it was the best beach house we had stayed in to date! The host was very communicative as well! We'd definitely stay there again!

We appreciate the great review. Especially, since it's from great vacationers!!
Great house in a secluded neighborhood but yet so close to everything. We had a wonderful weekend in Bethany Beach, owners were super communicative and the house has just about everything you need. We hope to visit again soon.
We loved staying at this home! It’s located close to town, getting to the beach was easy and the trolley is right down the street! House itself has everything you need!

Relaxing stay
We had a wonderful time this weekend staying in this bright, peaceful home. Although it is a bit far to walk to the beach with our little children, there was a parking pass provided which made the beach very accessible. Thank you for a much needed getaway!

Thank you for your lovely review. We are always grateful when our vacationers enjoy our home.
Great location. Spotlessly clean. Spacious. A wonderful home away from home! We really enjoyed that screen porch both in the morning and evening.

Beautiful house!
The house is just as expected, we appreciated how spacious it is and how well kept it was. The owner was very helpful, answered our questions very promptly. I will be back for sure next summer!

Thank you for the kind comments.
We appreciate our vacationers very much and look forward to their return.
College friends getaway weekend was perfect! Mindy is always lovely to work with (I’ve stayed at another one of her properties and booked this one not realizing it was her!). We had everything we needed and the home was clean and very nicely appointed. Beds were comfy and outdoor spaces were great for the beautiful weather. Would definitely stay again!
My family of five had the perfect vacation in Bethany, DE. The location was ideal making morning and evening trips to the beach/ boardwalk a breeze.
The home was clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated, which we really appreciated. Hands down our favorite spot was the screened-in porch for morning coffee, reading, and games.
We hope to spend our vacation here again one day.
This Easter vacation was perfect in every way. The property was exactly as advertised. The owner, Mindy, was very helpful and easy to reach. After a difficult year we are glad our first venture out was all we could have asked for. 5 stars for a perfect house!
This was an easy and efficient rental process. The house is exactly as described in the listing and photos. Mindy the host was easy to reach and helpful.
We had a nice time staying in the house. The house had everything we needed to cook our meals. The beds were comfortable and the many porches were great to hang out or play games on. The neighborhood was nice to take walks through.
The beach and boardwalk are not within walking distance if you have young children or bring a lot of stuff to the beach. Luckily the house comes with a beach parking pass.
The house was bright, clean, and very comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen and lots of great spaces for relaxing and playing together as a family. My husband and I brought our two boys (7 yr old and 2 yr old) and my mom to stay, and we all loved the house, its easy access to the beach with a very easy, short drive and parking pass, and very quiet neighborhood that was great for sleeping (not noisy in the evenings) and taking walks on the quiet streets. There were lots of games and novels at the house, along with beach chairs and other gear - we loved playing corn hole with our boys! There's also a great patio space and lots of decks for sitting out with coffee and a book. Everything was very neat and well cared for. We hope to come back soon!

A Home Away From Home
We just arrived home from South Haven and I cannot express what a lovely home this is. The house is not only beautifully decorated,and clean, it is equipped with anything and everything you may need. Add to that wonderful owners and how could you not enjoy your vaction. This truly felt like our home away from home.
The walk to the beach was short enough that we chose to do that instead of riding the trolley, but with the stop only a few feet from the house, it was always an option. Also, the the quiet, tree-filled neighborhood was close enough to the excitement of the beach and downtown, while providing a quiet place to enjoy family and friends. I understand why this home books up for the season. Hopefully we will be able to return again next year.

You are two delightful mothers of polite, beautiful daughters and their friends. We enjoyed meeting them and hope they will be back real soon.
You took excellent care of our property which is always greatly appreciated.
Have a best great rest of the summer.
Hugs,
Mindy
Our family of seven - three generations aged 6 to 65 - hadn’t gathered in one place for a very long time. For this, our first family vacation in years, we searched high and low for a “special” rental home that would provide a comfortable and safe place for lots of talk, for great family dinners and game playing and laughter and rest. We found all those things at South Haven, a lovely 4-bedroom home that’s just a mile from Bethany Beach‘s boardwalk. South Haven is super clean, well appointed, is perfectly laid out for a family, has major appliances that are in excellent condition, a patio with a charcoal grill AND a propane grill with ample propane in the tank, a private outdoor shower with hot and cold running water, a well-equipped kitchen, a screened deck with lots of comfy furniture, and beds that everyone on our party found comfy. We didn’t use the TVs, but they’re nice ones. Oh, and the WiFi worked great. Mindy, it was a pleasure getting to know you through this experience. We’ll definitely be back. Cheers!

Bob and his family were wonderful vacationers and hope they'll return in the not too distant future.
Warm regards,

This was probably the most immaculate home we have ever rented! Additionally, it was well stocked and beautifully decorated with a spacious layout that worked well for our family. There was also plenty of outdoor space, and we spent much of our time on the screened in porch. What a bonus! The home is in a quiet neighborhood yet close to much of what we needed. Our group unanimously agreed this is a place to which we would love to return.
We loved this house! There was great outdoor accessibility and even a screened porch. The inside layout was great too and we all had plenty of space and storage. Everything we needed was provided and easy to find. Highly recommended!
Everything was so nice and clean and made it an enjoyable stay! Mindy was wonderful at quickly responding with all of my questions. Can't wait to visit again. :)
Wonderful time in Bethany Beach!! Accommodations were top notch….comfortable, clean and close to many amenities. Highly recommend South Haven in Bethany Beach!!!

About the host
Hosted by Mindy
Joe and I have 3 adult children and are members of the Bethany Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce.
I retired from the Department of Homeland Security (TSA) at Washington Dulles International Airport after ten years of service.
Joe retired from Fairfax County Public Schools.
Why they chose this property
Joe and I vacationed in Bethany for 4 years with our 3 children before we had this home custom built.
We realized an oceanfront home was not in our budget.
However, we discovered South Haven to be the best of both worlds to be a part of the town. Walks and trolley rides to the town and beach are delightful.
What makes this property unique
Walk to church.
See lots of wildlife in town which is unusual. Our sitings have included mallard ducks, rabbits, deer, and even a box turtle.
