About this property

Waterfront Bethany Beach Cottage, Walk to Beach, Fish, Kayak - Dewey Rehoboth

This three bedroom, two full bath, with outdoor shower, Waters Edge Retreat Cottage is the perfect place for a relaxing family vacation. The Cottage is located in the private gated community at South Shore Marina - at the north end of Bethany Beach, just miles from Dewey, Rehoboth & Ocean City Beaches.

With the multiple sliders and windows looking out to the Indian River Bay, this Cottage will become a family favorite for summer trips. The Cottage is walking distance to Delaware Seashore State Park (6/10ths of a mile), where you can enjoy a guarded beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The Indian River Bay surrounds the home and provides an amazing landscape for relaxation and some of the best sunsets you will ever see!

This Cottage has been newly updated with modern decor and is an ideal summer getaway. The multiple living areas allow you to gather with your family and friends, while also having privacy and space.

Spend the day at the beach or take part in the activities offered by Delaware Seashore State Park or all that the local beach communities have to offer. In the evening wind down with dinner and live music overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or Indian River Bay at either Big Chill or Hammerheads, our two local restaurants.

The cottage has bikes, kayaks, beach chairs and so much more for our guests use. The cottage also has direct water access for guests to launch kayaks directly from the rental.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to prepare a great family meal or choose to grill on the deck overlooking the Bay. When the sun goes down and things move inside, its time to play games or cards with family and friends or enjoy a movie on one of the large smart TVs. The three season room with sofas, TV and game table provides a great space for kids to hang out.

The Cottage is a short drive to all of the area attractions including: Rehoboth, Dewey, Fenwick Island and Ocean City, MD beaches, outlet shopping, brewery tours, golf, boating, jet skiing, fishing, amazing food and restaurants and so much more!

Great vacation house! It was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location is central, making it easy to get to both Rehoboth and Bethany and a perfect jumping-off point for exploring the area, such as a beach across the highway that is minutes from the property. We liked being in a gated community since it felt safe and quiet, and the recreation room was a huge hit with my son. The host was responsive and made everything simple, and we’d definitely stay again.

Ideal vacation cottage!

We loved staying at this home. It had everything we needed, and was very relaxing. Don’t forget your binoculars (for some spectacular sea bird viewing) — actually we were able to watch a gorgeous heron right out the window! The owner was totally responsive: before, during and after our stay.

An opportunity to disconnect and reconnect in comfort

Can’t say enough about this well appointed cottage. We began each day with coffee overlooking the bay before kayaking, time on the beach, and relaxing with family on the deck.The owner was great to work with, the cottage was clean, spacious and very comfortable! While we took advantage of the well equipped kitchen to cook a few meals, the neighborhood is secluded and private, but close enough to venture out for a nice evening of fine dining and fresh seafood. We hope to make this an annual family gathering place.

Family summer vacation

Excellent location. We brought our own kayaks and enjoyed the extra’s provided. 15 minute walk to the beach or 3 minute bike ride. Enjoyed the sand bar in the bay to watch the sunsets. House is much larger than it appears. Plenty of living space. Great deck and table for outside dinners iverloiking the water.

I cannot recommend this location enough! Jason (property manager) was amazing. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was able to provide suggestions when I was looking for specific services. This was my first time in the Bethany/Dewey/Rehoboth area, and everything is so close together. You can have the beach, nightlife, and shopping experience all within a 25 min radius of each other. The house is so CUTE! Much bigger than it looks on the outside. All of the beds were super comfortable - as were the couches. House came with everything we needed (as advertised - i.e. plates, cooking utensils, sponge, dishwasher soap, etc). Very safe and beautiful area. The view from the end of the street during sunset is unmatched. The back deck also offers a beautiful view. We had two bird friends the whole stay. We went for a boat ride with Back Bay Tours and they took us right by the property - it was a fun surprise. The house fit 8 of us easily - the only tight squeeze was in the bathroom when we were all trying to get ready. 11/10, hope to go back again! :) I would upload pictures, but I am on my laptop and all of the pictures are on my phone.

10 Stars should be an option!!

What a lovely rental. So much room for the entire family to gather. Loved the deck overlooking the marsh. Take binoculars, we got to see a bald eagle several times. Our family enjoyed the kayaks and bikes. A short stroll to the end of the road was the perfect place to sit on the rocks and watch the sunset. Can’t wait to rent this property again.

Beautiful retreat for sister's weekend

My three sisters and I had a wonderful weekend at the cottage! There was so much to love--the location, the layout, the VIEW! Some of the little details I appreciated were the ceiling fans (great for white noise lovers such as myself), the firmness of the mattresses (perfect), the large shower heads and strong water pressure, and plenty of room to park. Jason was very pleasant, accommodating, and quick to respond when I had trouble getting through the gate at the front of the community. All was resolved quickly and we enjoyed a perfect weekend!

Fantastic End-of-Summer Getaway

Decided on a last minute end-of-summer vacation for our family of five and what a great place to do it! Beautiful location, responsive host, and perfect house to hang out in with our three kids (ages 11, 19, and 22). We loved the set up of the house itself--three full living areas, plus the deck overlooking the river allowed each of us to have some space but also be together. It was also a perfect location with easy access to Bethany, Dewey, and Rehobeth beaches. So glad to have come across this listing and would highly recommend!

Beach Family Getaway

Wonderful time! Very quiet location and “private” yet close to exciting social places- 5 minutes from “party-town” Dewey and 10 minutes to family -oriented Bethany Beach. This place has lots to offer with kayaks, bikes, and safe walking/biking areas. Right on the bay with a 5 minute car ride, 10 minute bike ride, and 15-20 minute walk to beach. Inside was very spacious, comfortable, clean, and AC nice and cold. Will be back at this location!😊

Can’t beat the location!

Quiet, gated community with easy access to beach. We walked to the beach every morning for exercise and drove over when we had beach gear to carry. We loved the view from the back deck. Bring binoculars to watch the birds! Plenty of spaces for people to spread out inside. Easy to get to grocery store and the other nearby towns. Owner is very responsive. I would definitely book again.

Hidden Gem!

we really hesitate to share information about this home but we will be nice! location, location, location! stunning views in a fairly quiet neighborhood (couple of dogs running around and barking and neighbors doing work..but it was off-season so completely understand). the family room and deck are fantastic. our family loved the kayak (we brought 3 of our own) and it was awesome for hubby and i to actually see them in the water was so much fun. definitely recommend but selfishly want to keep it secret!
