The house is in a private location, wooded lot, by a canal,
overlooking a pond and marshland in the back, located at the end of a
quiet dead-end street. It is one mile from the beach.
No smoking. No pets. We like family rentals. The person who signs the
lease must be one of the tenants.
All renters were delighted with the appeal of this house in the past
rental seasons!
The house is seventeen years old, good condition, nicely decorated
and furnished. It is not a large place, but it feels roomy, with high
ceiling in the living-dining-kitchen area and lots of windows. The
kitchen is fully equipped and stocked (but no dishwasher). Canoe,
wind-surfer-board, and bicycles are provided (but not guaranteed).
Rentals are Sunday-to-Sunday, so driving traffic is usually light,
makes for a relaxed arrival.
Our Bethany home has two bedrooms. The master bedroom has one queen-
size bed. The other bedroom has two twin beds (with a roll-away third
twin bed). The living room has a queen sleeper sofa. The capacity of
the house is six people (4 in beds plus 2 in sleeper-sofa). Please
bring your own linens and towels.
Some blankets and pillows are provided. The house has a full bath
(shower stall, no tub), a half-bath in the master bedroom, and an
outdoor shower.

The house is fully furnished, and has a clothes washer/dryer. The
house has central air conditioning and heat, and ceiling fans are in
every room. Two picnic tables are provided outside (one under the
house and one in an adjacent picnic area), and patio furniture for
dining on the screened porch.
The kitchen is fully-equipped, stocked with oven/range, dishes, pots, pans,
utensils, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker (uses standard basket-
style paper filters), popcorn popper, toaster, can opener.
New: wireless internet.
For entertainment, 32-inch HDTV, DVD/VHS VCR, basic cable are provided,
with some videos. Bethany has video rental stores on Route 26 that
will rent to short-term tenants, no membership fee (including
Blockbuster).  Another TV/DVD is in the master bedroom.

Our Bethany house has plenty of parking. The parking meters at the
beach take quarters only, $1.50 per hour. (Note, after 4:00
PM, you can move your car to the street permit parking on some
Bethany streets, where there are no meters. Don't block a driveway,
which may be grassy. But if you park at a meter, you have to pay
through the evening.)
As an alternative to driving to the beach, the house is equipped with
several adult and kids bicycles, and a bike trailer (to carry
gear), as well as a kid's wagon. The house is one mile
from beach. From the development, turn left onto Kent Ave, and turn
right after three blocks onto Jefferson Bridge Road. Please bring
your own bike helmets. (Can't guarantee the presence and condition of
the bicycles after many tenants have used them.)
There is a canal next to the home. A full-size canoe is at the house,
and paddles and life vests should be stored in the outdoor shower.
Two child life vests (up to 100 lbs.) should be inside, above the
washing machine. If you take the canal to the left (southeast) you
can paddle into the Assawoman Wetlands Refuge (osprey and bald eagle
nests, blue herons, etc.).

I don't use a rental agent. Please provide a $400 deposit per week of
rental when placing the rental reservation, and make the rest of the
payment at least three weeks in advance of the start of the rental. I
will mail you the keys when I receive full payment. If you have to
cancel a reservation and I am able to rent to someone else, I will
refund all of the deposit. If I am unable to rent it out again, the
deposit is forfeited.
