My family has been going to Bethany over the summer for years, and this is by far the most amazing place we've ever stayed. Everyone had a wonderful time. This house was absolutely perfect, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Much of the house was recently renovated, and everything inside it is completely pristine and lovely. The kitchen is well-equipped, and includes a restaurant-quality range and all the utensils you'll need. The house is extremely spacious, and still felt huge even with six children and six adults. There are lots of different hangout places inside the house, and enough room for everyone to hang out together, or to split up in smaller groups. The house is decorated very tastefully, and everything about it is extremely comfortable. We enjoyed lovely dinners on the screened-in porch, and lunches sitting on bar chairs at the counter.
The house is a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 2 minute walk to the pool. We took the kids to the beach every morning, came home for lunch, and then went to the pool in the afternoon. The children in our group range from 1 to 12, and the close proximity to the beach and pool made frequent trips back to the house extremely convenient. Because the house is in a cul-de-sac and so close to the beach and pool, we felt comfortable letting the older kids walk back to the house by themselves. There could not be a more perfect location, in our opinion.
Vic, the owner, is extremely accommodating and welcoming. He graciously and promptly answered our many questions prior to arrival, and even mailed back some clothes that a member of our group inadvertently left behind in a drawer. Vic made us feel at home and welcome, despite not even knowing us.
We enthusiastically recommend this house for the best beach vacation possible!
