Bethany Beach 116 5th St Oceanblock
Our family had a fabulous reunion. The house was a great space for us. The porch and balcony’s were extra special since we did have some rainy brisk days. Extra special to get to the beach with our 92 year old matriarch that had A-fib, using a beach wheelchair that Paul was so helpful with information on that. Thank you!

Pet Friendly SFH w/ fenced yard, 2blocks to BEACH!
The house and neighborhood were extremely nice and peaceful. The privacy fence in the back yard is wonderful for traveling with dogs. There were two huskies next door that liked to look down from the second floor and woo at you so keep that in mind if you have a reactive doggo. Not sure if they live there or just vacation. The house was nice and clean. You'll need to take your own linens. There were ants in the kitchen but mostly contained by the ant traps. There was a storm that tripped one of the electric controls for the kitchen. Danna was able to respond the next morning and let us know where the fuse box was to fix it. Only about 0.4 miles from a nice but busy coffee shop and store. Only a couple blocks from the beach. Easy to Uber down to the boardwalk or restaurants. Overall very nice place if you're looking for peace but close to activities.

*Radcliffe Retreat* Studio, Pool & RB Parking Pass
Great deal and pet friendly! Responded when I needed something within seconds and answered any questions I had. Clean and beautiful! Thanks again!

Mad Men Beach House*DogFriendly*7 Min Walk 2 Sea*OUTDOOR MOVIE EXPERIENCE*Private Dock*WORK SPACE*New CRIB
Beautiful spot! Great location, close to all the happenings of Ocean City, but peaceful and quiet at the house…perfect set up. Great neighborhood. The house is beautiful, all the beds very comfortable. The back deck is gorgeous, thoroughly enjoyed that space and taking the kayaks out on the canal! It’s worth bringing your own linens and towels, we packed everything into a large tote and it worked out perfectly. Very responsive and friendly host! We had a great time here and plan to return. Highly recommend!

The Winkler
Jeff and Topher are the perfect hosts from start to finish. They made us feel welcome and responded right away to the couple of questions we had over the week we stayed at “the Winkler.” The property is gorgeous and the apartment is quiet and private. The deck was lovely for hanging out with our dog and they had everything available for grilling. The space was spotless and the bed is very comfortable with a generous amount of extra pillows. This is a beautiful place to stay - serene, peaceful and private. We would definitely come back.

Beach Perfect Getaway: 2-Bedroom Apartment
This was the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The place was IMMACULATE. Nice modern furnishings and decor. Everything was incredibly clean, shiny, and pristine, yet still warm and cozy. I felt safe and secure because it is on the first floor, and it’s very quick and easy to access once you park. The neighbors were friendly and the area is very clean and quiet. I never actually spoke with the host because I didn’t need to ask for anything. It was a completely seamless experience. If I had to mention one downside, I’d say it’s a bit on the pricier side, even with the discounted rate I seemed to receive. But that might just be because I chose to pay for the entire two-night trip on my own. In the end, I would stay here again a hundred times over. I’m glad there are hosts and property owners who actually take care of their listings. 10/10. I would absolutely recommend it.

Sweet getaway - beach block, steps from the beach!
We had a great stay and loved the short walk to the beach! Brian communicated very well and accommodated an early and late check in for us! Would stay here again.

Quaint Beach Block Cottage, 100 steps to the beach
We loved staying at 14 Carolina Street! The house was great and was a very short walk to the ocean! Kelly and Thomas were very responsive and friendly! This home was a great location, would definitely come back again!

Direct Oceanfront Condo with Expansive Ocean Views
Susan is an outstanding host with a beautiful property. She is always responsive and helpful! We loved our stay and hope to stay again.

Coastal Crush-STEPS to the sand! Roof Deck lounge!
Our family is in love with Coastal Crush! The accommodations are pristine, and every last detail is so thoughtfully put together. Whenever I needed or reached for something I’d usually have in our own home, it was there. The decor and all of the amenities are spectacular! It is right on the beach, with access to all of the beach gear you could ever need. Just existing in the space is so peaceful and relaxing. Our kids absolutely love the bunk beds, and said they felt like they were living in a tree house. The hosts are incredibly responsive, and were always available if we had questions or needed anything. We’re already planning our next trip back!!! ⛱️🌊❤️

Beautiful Beach-View Condo
We loved Raj’s place! We have two young children and his place was fully equipped to entertain them with books, toys, etc. Best Airbnb we have stayed in so far 😊

Bethany Beach House - Walking Distance
Perfect! We had a wonderful week in Bethany Beach! Mike’s place had ample room for our family four. It was super quiet and conveniently located. The parking pass and nearby trolley stops made beach access a breeze. We will definitely stay again!

Decked Out
Decked out is a beautiful home in a great location. You can tell the host Ryan put a lot of thought into making sure the home was a great stay for a family. There were toys for the kids, board games, even plastic plates and bowls for the kids. We traveled with two families and the kids enjoyed their time. The beach essentials and plastic plates and bowls for the kids made things so much easier. The home was well stocked and Ryan was very communicative making sure we had what we needed. Even had a chat with some neighbors and everyone was so kind. Would definitely book again!

Waterfront Bethany Marina Escape
This place was wonderful. Me, my husband and 3 kids had a great time. We used the beach toys and the kayaks were awesome! My kids loved them! The decks were great to sit on and unwind when the kids were in bed! The house literally has everything you need. It was a little outdated like the shower and some furniture but we loved it because we felt relaxed and the kids could be kids, unlike a place that’s super new and you’re scared the kids will break expensive things. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Nicole was super responsive too! Great stay and wonderful memories made.

Direct Oceanfront close to Northside Park!
Really enjoyed our stay at Stephanie's. Awesome condo that was clean, comfortable and roomy. Wonderful views from Living Room, Balcony and Master Bedroom. Close enough to the water to hear the waves breaking. Plenty of restaurants and shops close by. Definitely hope to be back!

100 steps to beach
This place is excellent if you’re planing on spending most of your time out. It’s clean, so close to the beach, & highly walkable. If your priority is the beach & proximity to bars & restaurants this place is wonderful. As described - it’s quite small with low ceilings so if you’re planning to spend a lot of time in the space look elsewhere. Noise from other people or the street was not an issue.

Adorable 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath Home, Close to Bethany!
My husband and I want to relocate to Delaware from Florida. We booked this place cause it was in close proximity to where we were researching, Rehoboth, Lewes and Milsboro. This place was spacious, clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. The block was quiet and the neighbors friendly. We didnt have anyone else with us but the house has plenty of room for more people. I highly recommend this place.

Endless Summer With Ocean View & Large Deck
Laura was a very responsive and wonderful host! She went above and beyond with providing a variety of things to do and see during our stay. She also made sure the check in and check out process went smoothly. The home was well kept, clean and had a great view! Being able to relax on the back porch with the sound of the waves was so peaceful. Our family had a great stay and will definitely be back! Thank you Laura!

Old School Beach Cottage-Oceanside Condo
This wonderful condo is a short stroll from a private beach, with a quiet well-furnished deck and fully-stocked kitchen. Perfect for a beach stay away from the crowds.

The Bethany Beach Comber
We had a lovely stay. We booked last minute and John was super accommodating. The house is beautiful, very clean, and exactly as described. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

3BR House with pool -short walk to beach and town!
Amy’s friendly and welcoming beach house was the perfect after Labor Day getaway. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials for family meals. The beds were comfortable, and I especially appreciated closets and drawers in all three bedrooms. Plenty of beach chairs and wagon available so no need to bring them . The local Bethany Beach was within walking distance, though after the summer season we found easy parking one block from the water. Great price for a long weekend near the beach after the summer season. Amy was attentive and available. We had no issues at all, and would eagerly book a long weekend again at Amy’s home.

Luxe Lewes Carriage House: Spa Hot Tub/Estate Pool
We had such a wonderful stay at Lisa and Jay’s beautiful carriage house in Lewes, DE! The cottage and the surrounding grounds were absolutely stunning—peaceful, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. From the moment we arrived, Lisa and Jay were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making us feel right at home on their property. It’s clear they’ve put so much care into creating a space that’s both comfortable and memorable. We would absolutely visit again and would love the chance to spend more time hanging out with them—they’re truly lovely hosts! Highly recommended.

Awesome Location Walk to Shops and Beach
Staying at Bridget’s house was wonderful! She was super responsive if we needed anything. It was a very quiet and peaceful area, walking distance from the small town of restaurants and shops. I would definitely come back

Bethany Beach Classic
This place is perfect! Two blocks from the boardwalk, two blocks from the beach, beautiful screened in porch to watch thunderstorms / chill in the hammock. Super clean, lots of space! Oh and umbrella + chair rental thrown in too. Love it!

Your guide to Bethany Beach
All About Bethany Beach
Bethany Beach is a small coastal town in Delaware with sandy beaches and a scenic boardwalk. The boardwalk is the center of all the action here — though it may be small at less than half a mile long, it packs an oversized punch. Classic carnival snacks like saltwater taffy, fries, and ice cream are dolled out from weatherboard shopfronts, live music from the bandstand fills the air all summer, and fireworks light up the sky in the evening.
Away from the boardwalk, you can leave your beach rental for the day to rent a kayak, sailboat, or paddle boat and head out on the water, and end the day back onshore, cracking fresh lobster with sunset views.
Venture further afield to Fenwick Island State Park, where 344 acres of wilderness provide plenty of ways to spend a day outdoors, including hiking, boating, and horseback riding.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Bethany Beach
Summer is unquestionably the most popular time to visit Bethany Beach, when the weather is warm enough to swim. This is the best time to take advantage of water activities like boating, and to absorb the best of the lively summer atmosphere due to added attractions like live music in town. From June through August, there are family-friendly movies on the beach every Monday, and in September, they move to the bandstand on Friday nights. Winter is a quiet time of year here, and you can expect some rain or snow if you visit from December through February. The weather starts to warm up in March, and by May it can often be warm enough to swim. The Poseidon Festival at the end of May is a week full of whimsical coastal activities like sand sculpting contests, luaus, and a marine science camp for kids. In autumn, expect a decent amount of rain and snow, but some rollover sunny days as well.
Top things to do in Bethany Beach
Bethany Beach Boardwalk
Stalls selling souvenirs, saltwater taffy, ice cream, and freshly-caught seafood line the Bethany Beach boardwalk, which seems to be plucked out of a bygone era that’s in line with the preserved houses and wooden architecture dotting the area. In summer and fall, bands play at the bandshell in the evenings, performing free jazz, country, and pop concerts. Bring your own chairs for the performances to ensure you have a seat.
Thunder Lagoon Water Park
Take a short drive over to Fenwick Island, where the Thunder Lagoon Waterpark offers a day of fun activities. Amble down the lazy river, take turns gliding down slides, and sail aboard the tipping viking. There’s also a kiddie pool, and all the fairground-style snacks you can eat.
Golf courses
Delaware’s beaches boast about two dozen golf courses between them, most of which will be easy driving or shuttle bus distance from your beach house rental. Hit the greens with dramatic seaside views and forest scenery surrounding your game.
