Great beach house

What a perfect place to spend time at the beach. The location is outstanding, just a short walk across the street to the beach. Four bed house makes it perfect for a family. Kids love the "twisty" stairs to the upper level for a great view of the area.

Wonderful location

Beach was steps away. You could view the ocean from all decks. Outside shower and lower level bathroom were convenient. Roomy for the 8 of us. Furniture w a little dated. No fans in the bathrooms or kitchen was inconvenient. Adequate parking.

We had a great week at this property! Close to Bethany and a quiet neighborhood. Only one house back from the sandy beach. The house was roomy, with three decks, all of which had an ocean view. We will be back!

Perfect Beach House!

We had another wonderful vacation at the Kaplan's house. We love the views from multiple decks especially for the sunrise. The house is well equipped and maintained. The upgrades were duly noted. The walk to the beach is our favorite part. We would recommend this to any family of 8!

Great week

Everything was fantastic. Lots of little extras like umbrellas, chairs, extra deck furniture cushions, etc. we used the last of the grilling charcoal but contributed dishwasher soap, laundry soap, and kitchen tras bags for the next renters to compensate. Only tiny issue…one of the pull-out plastic produce drawers in the refrigerator developed a crack. Drawer is fully functional. We removed the drawer and super-glued the crack; then let it sit for24 hours. We put it back in and it worked good as new for our last four days.

Read Before Booking

We stayed at this property in mid-June for our 2022 family vacation. This was our first time staying there and will be our last. We’ve rented in Bethany for a while and have never experienced such filth in a rental property as we did at this one. I’m giving them 2 stars: 1 for the location, which is great and 1 for the property managers responsiveness and overall communication and attention. I wish I could upload photos to this review to show exactly what I am talking about but in lieu of that, I’ll provide details. Uncleanliness: When we arrived we found broken glass on the floor in the kitchen (mind you I have small children, so this is particularly troubling), dead bugs in the entryway and on the kitchen counter. There was a thick layer of dust everywhere and the house smelled musty. As the week went on, I noticed the vent covers had dust and mold on them and you could see a thick layer of dust on the reverse vent. Everything in the house was damp, the couches, the carpets, the linens on our beds, the whole week we had this dampness inside. All of this signals that there’s an issue with the AC ducts and potentially a mold problem. In addition, the floor mats in the kitchen and bathrooms are disgusting and clearly haven’t been washed in a while. Probably most disgusting, I had my kids sippy cups drying on the counter and every morning I’d wake up to find weird little bugs crawling all over their clean cups. I Lysol wiped the counters daily and I have no clue where these little bugs were coming from. I shared this feedback with Jeremy the property manager and he offered to have their cleaner come back and clean again. We declined because, clearly that cleaner is awful and doesn’t know how to actually clean and we didn’t feel comfortable having someone in the house with our stuff while we weren’t there. This is precisely why houses should be cleaned properly before renters arrive. Other issues: I’m shocked no other reviewers mentioned the slat doors for all the bedrooms. There is literally no privacy in the bedrooms. You can hear everything happening in the other rooms. Again, having small kids makes this difficult for bedtime when there’s sound and light coming into the kids room. The toilets have wooden toilet seats. Wood is porous and can never truly be sanitized. It’s beyond me why a rental property would have these. Jeremy did refund me the cleaning fees but honestly, our only vacation of the was ruined by the conditions.

What a perfect location! Loved the convenience to the beach entrances! A little dated but a great place to stay. There was house construction going on all week across the street, which was no fault of the property, but was a little distracting. Overall I would highly recommend!

Great location

The location of the house was great for easy access to the beach. The neighborhood was kid friendly and beach was uncrowded. It is easy to get around Bethany and neighboring towns from this location. The property was okay. It's a bit dated, but served the purpose well for vacation. Really served the purpose and met our expectations.

Labor Day Weekend

We stayed Thursday through Monday & the location in South Bethany is great! The Beach was not crowded and the house is directly behind the oceanfront, home so is it extremely close to the beach. There is a nice view of the ocean from the living room and the rooftop deck. Jeremy was extremely nice and accommodating to work with. He was able to confirm the outlets on the cable router so that we could bring our child’s video monitor and view him while he was sleeping. This was very important for us as he has special needs. Since the home was not rented the day before we arrived and the day we were leaving, he was very accommodating and allowed us a flexible check in and check out date. Again that was very helpful due to our son’s special needs and need for daily naps. The home is dated and the furniture was a mix of random pieces. But we not too picky, so that wasn’t a big deal. The location was more important to us. We had issues with the WiFi, which became frustrating as we had teenagers needing to connect their laptops so they could get homework done. It worked the 1st 2 days & after that we didn’t have any WiFi. And Jeremy was very quick to respond to a question about this. He said that maybe too many people are trying to connect and it was taxing the Wi-Fi. We really spent most of her time on the beach and at Indian River surfing, boogie boarding & enjoying the ocean, set of the Wi-Fi wasn’t too much of an issue. But when we did need it and couldn’t have access to it that was a bit frustrating. Overall, wed stay here again. Jeremy was great to work with!

Kaplan, 2 S. 4th ST. S. Bethany

Our second year staying at this property for 4th of July week. We like the proximity to beach access and the decks on the east side of the house. A pleasant week overall. Even though it was not a huge issue, I was disappointed that we never received any lightbulbs after I reported that several lamps did not have one. The cleaners could do a better job of being sure the house is ready for the next occupants. On arrival we found a loaded wallet and several articles of clothing in the top drawer of the master BR dresser. Also we found a used sheet on the floor under one of the beds. Please keep this rental Friday to Friday, as that is a big draw for us.

A nice stay.

We rented the house in Sept of 2017 as a way of celebrating my birthday. The house was one house away from the beach, which was great. There was plenty of parking. We were asked to bring linens, and we also brought blankets and pillows, but there were some already there so we didn't need what we brought. The house was great for the 8 of us: two families with children. The house had a newer kitchen counter, but was otherwise dated. This didn't bother us at all. Everything was very very clean, which was awesome. There were plenty of dishes for all of us, and plenty of pots and pans. There were a bunch of books in a closet by the bathrooms that we didn't discover until the last day. The outdoor decks were great, with plenty of places to sit. Bring your own beach chairs! We also were able to get a week-end only rental, which was perfect for us. There was a third floor to the house was closed, presumably the owner's part of the house. The owner was not around. We had the house to ourselves. One note: the wifi password we were sent via email was wrong, but the right one was posted on the fridge.

Kaplan, 2 S. 4th ST. S. Bethany

We stayed the week of independence day. Pros: Right across the street from the beach access, nice large deck with furniture, roomy enough for 8 (We had 6). good selection of kitchen items, dishes, and flatware, very good view of the S. Bethany fireworks from the Crows Nest, had beach chairs and umbrellas available to use, outside shower, faucet at street to rinse feet. The AC worked well and the place was clean. Toilet and sink on ground level. Covered parking and keyless entry. Cons: There is a small grill but no BBQ tools, the mattresses were not very comfortable, pillows were small and thin (bring your own), shower in second bathroom was very small; you can't bend over in it. Wi-Fi was generally weak as if many people were using the same stream. No icemaker (Had ice trays).

Fantastic Beach House

We were very happy with our beach rental. The house was very comfortable and well-equipped. We enjoyed the decks and loved being so close to the beach. It was our first time in Bethany, and we were very happy with the location. It was convenient to get into town - which is quite lovely, and close to OC where our teenage boys enjoyed the boardwalk. There was plenty to do for all of us. The only downside was that the beach was too steep for boogie boarding - but that seemed to be the case on all the surrounding beaches. All in all, it was a fantastic location and the house was quite fine.

Great location, otherwise disappointing

We rented this property after seeing it on the VRBO website. This was definitely not a VRBO as we never had any contact with the owner though some of my questions and concerns should have been addressed by the owner, not a property manager. We rented it based upon its curb appeal: new siding, windows, and decks. This was misleading as the interior was worn and outdated. Specifically, The bathrooms were 1960's tile and formica, a broken shower door had been simply replaced with a shower curtain, and the built-in cabinets and drawers were plywood and dirty and in need of paint. Furniture consisted of yard sale items or mismatched cast-off (e.g., 3 different couches in the living room) and the kitchen had redundant appliances (e.g., 5 coffee carafes, 3 without corresponding bases). WiFi was provided ..... to the entire neighborhood! There was no password, and at one point 24 unknown devices were online. We were reluctant to use such an insecure system, and the property manager said the owner would not correct this. The 3 star rating was based upon the value for what was charged. Unless the interior is refurbished, it should not be priced as it is. The best part was its excellent location, just steps away from the beach access path. The property manager was very responsive to our questions and concerns and very professional. He sent a cleaning crew out immediately to wash the smudges and grime off the faces of all the doors and cabinets.
