About the house

Our Bethany Beach house sits inside the Ocean View Beach Club (OVBC) community โ€” a private, gated neighborhood a mile from the sand in Ocean View, Delaware. Bright open living downstairs, five bedrooms upstairs, and a loft with a 3,000-game arcade console for rainy days. The house comfortably sleeps 12โ€“14 across the bedrooms plus a queen sleeper in the loft โ€” perfect for big families and small group getaways.

OVBC's clubhouse is a short walk away with an outdoor pool (Memorial Day โ†’ Labor Day), indoor fitness center, sauna/steam rooms, and sports courts. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and outdoor rinse hoses live in the garage so you can head to the sand and be back for pool time without hauling gear.

Downtown Bethany and the boardwalk are a quick drive. There's a farmers market Sundays in-season, dozens of restaurants within 10 minutes, and a proper grocery run at Giant just up Route 26.
