We have plenty of seating around a table and umbrella, lounge chairs for sunning, upright chairs for watching children and a large cushioned outdoor rattan sofa and two chairs. It comes complete with an outdoor grill for cooking.

    Master Bedroom with Queen on 2nd floor with large open kitchen living/dining 2 sliding glass doors to wrap around deck and grill. Living room has 2 large leather sofas and suede chairs.

    Dish TV with 2 TVs WIFI hook up available. Private backyard with privacy fence suitable for outdoor eating and cooking. 2 zone hot water heaters one upstairs and one down stairs allows for plenty hot water.
    Community Private dock for Kayaking and crabbing at Salt Pond. We provide 3 kayaks for your exclusive use with crabbing nets for use by children at the dock.

    Our entrance is across the street from Fresh Pond State Park. Walking/Biking trail is one block west. Downtown Bethany Beach shopping is one mile by car.

    Be sure to visit SeaCrest gift shop at Garfield and the Boardwalk. Look for local watercolor and photo art by Rosemary Carroll and say hello to owners Liz and Ed.
    Best Breakfast in area is either Ocean View Diner or Penguin Diner. Both include Gluten/wheat free menus.

    Cafe 26 is our favorite place for dinner but we have many of the top chefs of the Northeast here in the area. Difebos features two of the many graduates of the CIA (Culinary Institute of Arts) in New York. Nantuckets in Fenwick is great

    Night life is quiet in Bethany but a short drive (15 minutes) in either direction brings one to Rehoboth Beach/Dewey Beach to the North or Ocean City, MD to the South.
    G&E Hockers has the best German style deli, bakery, grocery, hardware store in DE. It also has the nearest gas pumps. Be sure to try the store cooked deli meats and bakery items. It is about a 1/4 to 1/2 mile west on Fred Hudson Road.
    *There is parking for FOUR cars on the black top driveway. The studio on the property is used by owners and has gravel driveway in front of it for the owners.

Family Vacation 2024

Our family - eight adults and four children - ages 7-14 - had a wonderful week in Bethany at this property. The house was perfect and the salt water pool kept kids and grownups happy when we we weren’t at Bethany Beach, Rehoboth, or Ocean City. The location was perfect - as was the weather. The location provided running trails, access to a kayak pond, and was only a short drive to Hocker’s grocery. All this made for a very pleasant week away!

Rosemary was a lovely host--- she really took into consideration what we wanted to do on vacation-- giving plenty of recommendations for kids and adults. She included special touches for everyone. House is just as described and pool was a hit too. The beach is about a 5 minute drive (if that). Thanks Rosemary!

Wonderful vacation home

Spent a wonderful week in this beautiful home. Accommodated the 12 of us very nicely. Kitchen well stocked and happy to see a Keurig. Some of us enjoyed the kayaks on the bay and crabbing from the pier only a short walk away. The free parking passes for the beach were appreciated. Since it was a very hot week, the lovely pool was probably our favorite pastime. The owners were very friendly and helpful when needed. Would not hesitate to stay in this rental again.

Wonderful week at Bethany

We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was beautiful and spacious, and perfect for our kids to play safely. The baby gate was much appreciated! We loved having the pool right outside for our private use and the location being so close to the state park and Bethany. We also enjoyed using the kayaks at the picturesque Salt Pond at the end of the private road. Thank you for opening your home to us! We’d love to return again in the future!

Best vacation ever!

This was our yearly family trip to Bethany. With the grandkids nearly adults we didn’t mind being a bit farther away. We usually stay close to the beach. The property was clean and the pool inviting. We had close access to the highway but yet not on top of it. We enjoyed crabbing at the Salt Pond too. Everyone we encountered was friendly. Our only negative comment would be to have access to a second refrigerator. With 5 bedrooms and 10 + people staying it would be very helpful. Otherwise it was everything we could ask for.

Fabulous Vacation

Everything about this property was perfect. The house was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The teenage girls especially loved their space with their own bathroom. We also enjoyed the pond for paddle boarding but most of all the boys were so excited about catching so many large crabs at the dock. It was very convenient being so close to the house. The pool provided so much fun for all of us especially the kids. Rosemary and Billy are wonderful caring people who respond quickly to any issues. They work hard to make sure your vacation is a good one. Thank you

A Relaxing Beach Week

The owner was very attentive to our needs. We wish we were closer to the beach but we were able to enjoy the pool, the pier, and the state beach, which was only a 10-15 mins drive away.

We had a wonderful time vacationing here. The pool was a big hit with the whole family from seniors to little kids. From the dining room you can see the Salt Pond. The community crabbing pier is just down the block. Can't say enough about the hospitality of the owners.

The Pilot House was absolutely wonderful for our family. A welcoming home with the bonus of a relaxing pool area where we spent much of our time. Our host Rosemary was super responsive and had great information about the area. Bethany is a fabulous beach with a small town feel and the location of this house was fabulous ... close enough to be convenient, but a little ways away from the noise and bustle of town. I highly recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

The Pilot House was the perfect location for our family vacation! We found your home to be spotless and nicely furnished, and very well supplied. The pool and the location of the house provided fun for everyone from our 3 toddlers to our golfers and bikers. It was convenient to the beach and boardwalk, and the grocery store. We were also grateful for the many local attractions on the rainy days!

Great Family Vacation Home

Great home to rent if you have a large family! The house is spacious, clean and best of all you get your very own pool. The beach was only minutes away. There are kayaks provided for you as well as a dock that you can walk to to go kayaking or crabbing. A great place with different activities for the whole family.

Everything was perfect except the weather but apparently Rosemary the host, couldn’t help with that! Wish we could have enjoyed the beautiful pool more but so glad we had a gorgeous home to spend most of our rainy days in. Rosemary was a fabulous host and wonderful to talk to. The welcome basket was great and so unexpected. Amazing place to stay!!

Wonderful family vacation!

We really enjoyed the Pilot House ! The pool is so nice. We have young grandchildren who cannot be on the beach all day and the pool was great for them. The house is laid out conveniently. You could get away from the crowd or join in. Salt Pond was a big hit too. We had many walks to check out the ospreys, herons, jellies, and minnows.
