Wifi was out the majority of our stay. While it was a hardware issue that the owner did try to resolve, we had to fix it ourselves. The owner was very gracious about it, communicated about the issue promptly, and offered a late checkout as compensation. Excellent accommodations otherwise. The private beach is less a beach and more a few rocks.

Really enjoyed staying at Art’s place - clean house, had everything we needed, very nice dog friendly community, not far from the beach and a cute private area on the water as well. The photos do not do it justice. We would definitely visit again.

Great week at the beach

My family had a wonderful stay here. The property was clean and exactly how it looks in the pictures. The small development was so lovely with the boats docked and small pier where my daughter caught her first fish! Art was prompt to reply when I had a question and we would definitely stay again next time in Bethany Beach.

My family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed the location and homey feel of our home. This was our 2nd summer here in this house and really enjoyed it. Just had 1 issue but reached out to Art and responded very quickly on how to fix it. Thanks again for sharing your home with us.

Great stay

Fantastic stay, I love that the owner was available throughout my stay. The only thing was the internet quality was not the best. However, everything else was so top notch that I had to give it a 5. The neighbors were also very friendly. I would definitely return.

A little something for everyone

My family absolutely loved our stay at Sunny Cove! The house is clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are all very spacious, 2 master bedrooms with bathrooms attached is perfect for 2 families staying together. The kitchen has everything you need for the week, dishes, pots, pans, utensils, even storage containers! The microwave, refrigerator, and oven work wonderfully and are very clean. There is a little beverage fridge next to the bar which was a plus! The dining table has plenty of seating as well. My morning coffee was very enjoyable on the patio looking at the bay. The patio furniture and cushions are all well kept. The laundry room is perfectly located on the first floor so your pool or beach towels can go directly into them after a long day by the water. The house is located in a perfect place and the community is very quiet and safe. They have a fishing dock and mini little beach to sit and enjoy. We spend many hours there while one kid fished and the other just wanted to play in the sand. If you are a kayak or canoe family this is a perfect spot for you as they have entey ways straight off the boating docks for you to use. Ocean beaches were a 10 to 20 minute drive depending on where you wanted to go for the day with Bethany Beach being the closest. The Towers beach was our family favorite! There is a grocery store about 2 miles away and a yummy restaurant with ice cream just 1 mile up the road that we enjoyed riding our bikes to.

Me and my kids thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful townhouse and being away from the hubbub of the township. Beach was an easy 10 minute drive. Very good restaurants nearby and a decent grocery store were a plus. We’d book here again.
