Kayaking in Delaware:
Delaware has only 2,000 square miles, but with 117 miles of coastline, it has much to offer kayakers. In addition to beautiful launches at Cape Henlopen and Delaware Seashore state parks, there’s a lesser-known gem near South Bethany Beach. The three-mile-long Assawoman Canal, connecting the Indian River Bay (to the north) with the Little Assawoman Bay (to the south) is a charming, serene canal. The canal is a 35-foot-wide no-wake zone. Many sections have a lovely tree canopy that makes a green arch over the canal. It feels remote, offers shade and shelters paddlers from strong wind. There’s a primitive, free launch site by the Jefferson Bridge off Kent Avenue. It is on Guy Street, an unmarked dirt road, 5 minutes from house.
YOU WILL NOT WANT TO LEAVE THIS HOUSE OR THE SCREENED PORCH!!! Don't miss out on reserving this one.

Our family had an enjoyable time. The swimming pool was very popular with the grandchildren. The 4 pickleball courts were also a hit. The kitchen and spacious home met our needs perfectly. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us.
The house was perfect for our 7 adults and 4 babies (ages 8 weeks to 2 1/2). We loved having the pool, toddler pool, tennis court and gym onsite so adults could enjoy while someone stayed home for napping kids. All in all, it worked perfectly for us.
This is a beautiful property! We really enjoyed our stay. The complex was great for walking our dogs! The house is beautiful and the property sits right off the pond. I can't say enough good things about the property owners. They had great communication and responded quickly to any questions we had. The location is perfect! The only thing that would make this property even better is to have one more bathroom with a shower. But overall, I loved the rental and enjoyed our stay very much.
Our family had a wonderful time in this beautiful and spacious home not far from the beach! We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the view of the pond and fountain. Having a gym, swimming pool and playground within the gated community to use was a plus. We look forward to making more memories in this beautiful home.
Property is in a gated residential community and the resident's I met were very friendly. If you’re looking for a community with amenities this is very nice. However you will need a car to drive to restaurants, beach, boardwalks. All accessible within 15-30 minutes north and south of the house. I wanted something away from the crowds but close enough to go when I wanted and this was a great choice.
With 6 adults and 6 young children we were in the perfect location. The pool was a very easy, lovely walk away and delightful. It was never crowed and allowed for evening swimming. The closeness of the grocery store was a definite advantage for a large group, who seemed to need grocery trips on a daily basis. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
The rental was perfect for celebrating Thanksgiving with family. The home is lovely....beautifully decorated, plenty of room to spread out, lots of seating, large well stocked kitchen, and nice size yard for our fur babies. Located in a gated community with a beautiful view of pond and fountain. Location was very close to many restaurants, shops, and, of course, the beach : ) . Grocery store conveniently located right across the street. Property manager was friendly, communicative and responded very promptly to questions.
My 1st Family vacation with 12 of my children and grandchildren, beautiful home, perfect space and location. The pool table in the recreation room was a big success with the teens and young adults, movie night in the spacious living room added a nice touch, Morning joe and sunsets on the screened in porch overlooking a beautiful lake and pier was spectacular. The community pool and gym were very nice, Check in and out was a breeze, communication with the host Debbie and Ted were very efficient and quick response. I would definitely return for my next annual family vacation.Keep up the good work, I'll see you next year!
The house was a great place for a large family Thanksgiving. Room for everyone! Debbie was super welcoming to our 11 year old Lab that is just part of the family.
Great property in a wonderful area! Nicely decorated and very clean. Lots of great space for family time. We enjoyed the yard that backs up to a lake with a fountain. We enjoyed walks over the lake bridge and watched our egret friend enjoying the sun! Just minutes from the beach too!
This is a great place to stay for a family vacation. It was a wonderful location to make wonderful memories together. It was centrally located to different things that we did together. We totally enjoyed staying here & would like to stay here again.
I absolutely had NO issues with anything for this family trip! The property owners were amazing, and the home was large enough to accommodate my family of 15.
Waawwww what can I said ! We enjoy our stay , we are a big family, house acomódate all of us
Overall house is like new , we spend most of the time in the house , we enjoy the pond view , village is super quite , neighbor are super friendly, we get more of of what we can expect!

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The house wasn’t cleaned properly either from previous guests or just in general and the pool was closed already for the season even though we had 70s and 80s the whole week and sunny! If I knew the pool was going to be closed, I’d have chose a different property.
We were able to get away with our kids and pups for a few night during the holiday season. It was exactly what we needed. We played games and visited the town of Bethany and Rehoboth. The house was super cozy and spacious. We loved the view of the water and really enjoyed the pool table. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Everything was clean. Definitely book this beautiful place.
Perfect location. Gorgeous backyard view. Peaceful, quiet neighborhood and amenities. Gated community. House is huge. Plenty of room for families. Only gave 4 stars because the home could use some updating, deep cleaning, and power wash. There was dog hair on the carpet and crumbs in the pull out sofa. Small things that didn’t ruin our stay, but housekeeping needs to do a little bit better. We know that these things can be easily missed as dog hair is hard to get up. Also, we felt a little harassed by HOA. Kind of annoying especially when we weren’t the ones breaking any rules. Owners were very sweet and responsive.
My family just returned from a relaxing week at Bethany Beach and we’re already missing this lovely home and the beautiful & relaxing view from the screened-in porch! The house is located in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood within a close proximity to all the local beach activities, and we definitely appreciated the quick access to the grocery store across the main road. The house is so tastefully decorated, and being a family of 6 adults and 1 child, the house provided plenty of “together or alone” time, with room to spare. My elderly parents thoroughly enjoyed their leisurely walks across the convenient boardwalk to the community pool and the screened-in porch did not disappoint! Thank you Debbie for sharing your lovely home with us and we look forward to our next visit!
