May 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay at Stacy's beach house We had a lovely time at this beach house. Everything was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the house so much. Very clean and new appliances . Stacy was a great host , communicated with us promptly . Just a short walk to a great beach . We are looking foward to staying here again in the future. ##### Amy C. Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole H. Aug 30, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Huge house great location Great location short walk to the beach. We had 8 people and there was more than enough places to sleep. And there are SO many porches! (Like 4). Only complaints were that the kitchen wasn't really well stocked (no trash bags, paper towels, dish sponges) and that the owner was a bit late in getting back to me about the details which made me nervous. ##### Nicole H. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Terry D. Jul 29, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### great location house was perfect size for the 5 of us and so close to beach. I do think the kitchen should be better organized and pots and pans should be replaced. We also had to wipe down all countertops and wash all silverware, dishes , glasses and anything used in kitchen as things were not cleaned and put away well. be sure to bring your own TP and paper towels as well as bathroom liquid soap( the ones there were sooo old ) ##### Terry D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristine K. Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It’s a great location and the house is fine South Bethany is wonderful! This property is perfectly placed. The property manager was great. We had no need to contact her as all was at it was supposed to be. The house is older and needs a redo. Rusty baseboard heaters, most furniture was extremely worn (in need of new slipcovers) and there was a damp smell. I know you get that at the beach, but this was noticeably worse than other places I have stayed in South Bethany. ##### Kristine K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen Y. Aug 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Amazing Location - few cona This house is wonderful. It basically has five bedrooms (the rec room has a pull-out couch). Two families of four plus one Grandma had plenty of space. The location literally can not be beat. However... Guests need to know that there are no "extras" provided by the hosts. We had to bring our own sheets and towels (which is okay, but not known ahead of time), shampoo, paper towels, toilet paper, cooking spray... Which is all stuff that has just been there with the other VRBOs I've rented. Overall, great. Just takes some extra planning/packing. ##### Karen Y. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mildred G. Sep 4, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Unhealthy rental This is a place from hell. From the dangerous odor from creosote coating on poles in garage to mold and rust on air conditioner vents. Smoke alarms not functioning. Pull out sofa with stains on mattress. Deck needing help, touch it and get splinters. Bathroom faucets rusted. Have pictures of things listed. Left after one night and family vacation ruined. ##### Mildred G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rebecca A. Jul 28, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location. House needs work. My family and I had a wonderful time at the beach last week! The house is pretty cozy and a fabulous location, however the house needs a lot of work. Unfortunately, we did not feel safe going onto the upper deck with our kids (very shaky and old wood), lots of stains on carpets, and many of the blinds did not function in the house (main room especially). With that said, there were a lot of things still left (in drawers and cabinets) from previous visitors which did not feel very cleanly. Overall, would recommend for location and coziness, but offering advice to owner to renovate parts of the house to make it more appealing. ##### Rebecca A. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael D. Aug 24, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Mixed Bag Positives: Spacious house. Very close to beach, super comfortable beds, nice porches, lots of games, books, puzzles. The beach was excellent and not terribly crowded. Negatives: The house needs some maintenance and a deep cleaning. Bathroom floors had packed dirt/mold in corners, dirty baseboards, and shower curtain liner was mildewed...yuck! Oven door appeared to be broken and oven was very dirty so we didn't attempt to use it. Coffee drops on kitchen counters near coffee pot when we arrived indicated not much care in cleaning before our arrival. Nice white cotton slipcovers on furniture were in need of a wash. Dishwasher was moldy when we arrived and we cleaned it before we used it. Overall these are things that would not require a lot of effort or money to fix but would go a long way toward making this a more desirable and pleasant property for renters. ##### Michael D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn C. Jul 14, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location! The house is in a great location, very close to the beach and nice, quiet neighborhood! We also enjoyed how close it was to the state park and enjoyed walking around by the canals across the street. The home was perfect size for our family which included younger children and grandparents. The host Stacy was very responsive whenever we asked questions prior to the trip. The only negative is that the house wasn't cleaned very well prior to our arrival as there were many items left behind by the previous guests including open items in the refrigerator. Also, a lot of the items in the kitchen weren't clean and unorganized. ##### Kathryn C.
