About this property

Beautiful, well appointed, single family home in Bethany.

If you are looking for a single family home for privacy, walking distance (not walkable with little children) to the beach, boardwalk, and shops look no further.

Beautifully decorated, well maintained, light bright and airy. Located on 5th Street, it is a short walk to St. Anne's Catholic church.

Trolley stops at end of the street for a convenient, scenic ride around Bethany and then to the beach. Quiet, dead-end street which is perfect for the kids to play. Custom built in 2001 is always booked for the season.

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!

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!

Cheerful,Clean, and Perfect Location

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.

Great house!

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.

Beautiful, comfortable beach house!

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

This Lovely Vacation Home Is Well Cared For!

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!

Absolutely wonderful!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Mindy

Host profile image
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.
