Bay View Retreat in Bethany Beach

On the WATER with FABULOUS VIEWS, fantastic sunsets, direct access
to beautiful nature preserve/wetlands and Assowoman Bay and quick
access to beach/ocean.

We are in the small community of Bay View Park at the north end of
the undeveloped Fenwick Island Delaware State Park Beach on the Bay
side of Rt. 1. Bay View Park is 1/4 mile south of York Beach/South
Bethany. Very close to the charming "quiet resorts" of Bethany Beach
and Fenwick Island and 15-20 minute drive to more "action" in
Rehoboth or Ocean City. On the edge of a vast Nature Preserve this
home has 180 degree views ~ a very special Nature Lover's retreat.

along Route 1 access road -- only for Bay View Park visitors.
