Stella's Cove Beach House Rental in Bethany Beach, DE

The Property

This spacious waterfront home in family-friendly Bethany Beach, DE is situated on a property the size of four lots at the end of a dead-end street. Large yards on either side ensure privacy, while a private boat ramp makes it easy to launch your own boat or the provided kayaks. The uncrowded, wide beach of Fenwick Island State Park is a short walk (about three blocks). The town of Bethany Beach is a bike ride away. We are pet friendly (fees apply)

Water, Water, Everywhere

Surrounded on one side by Davis Cove and on another by Little Assawoman Bay, the house offers pristine water views from every living area. Located directly across the bay from a state wildlife refuge, it's a great spot for birders, wildlife fans, and boaters alike.

Three boat docks all offer different water access and views.

Well-equipped Kitchen

Handicap and Wheelchair Accessible:

Our family has several seniors, and we wanted them to be able to use the house comfortably. A ramp to the back door makes this property wheelchair accessible. The lower-level master bedroom is perfect for grandparents or others who don't like the stairs. The bathroom attached to the downstairs bedroom has a walk-in shower with safety bars. A shower chair is available upon request. The main living space is on the ground floor, so those using the downstairs, accessible bedroom will enjoy time with the family without climbing stairs. Please note that this downstairs bedroom is on the small side. Those with extensive mobility issues should inquire before booking.

Location, location, location

The house is spacious and beautiful!!! The amenities are new and top rated. There was plenty of room (not just bedrooms but living areas) for 8 adults and 2 dogs. The location gives you the best of the bay and beach. There were enough kayaks for everyone to enjoy the bay, and we were able to fish/crab right from the property.

Great house and location

Our stay was wonderful. The house was beautiful, well equipped and the location was perfect. Plenty of room for the kids and pups plus enough space to have quiet time as well. Beautiful views from all the windows. Lisa was a pleasure to deal with. Her communication was timely and she answered all our questions. I can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend this location!

Waterfront perfection

We planned a celebration for our 60th birthdays and when our adult children were able to join us, we searched for a property that would meet our needs as well as theirs. This property checked ALL the boxes. Right on the water, lots of outdoor space, tons and tons of room inside. But the thing that really made this getaway special was the attention to detail that the host Lisa has provided her guests. Often a property is just used as an income generator, but you can really see and feel that this home is used by her family regularly. It has all the comforts you could need and really did not feel like I was not in my own home.

A wintery week at the beach

Our family of adults needed a late winter retreat and couldn't have chosen a better place than Stella's Cove. It was a lovely home with wonderful views of the bay from every window, the kitchen is stocked with all the things we needed for family dinners and baking great desserts, and the dining table was perfect for playing dominos. When we did venture out there we found a couple of great bookstores and other shops that were open during the winter. Cape Henlopen State Park had interesting history and great views. We saw a couple of orca whales while crossing the Delaware Bay on the Cape May Lewes Ferry, and no crowds at some wonderful seafood restaurants. We have memories to treasure from this week!
