About This Home

As of May 2025

Just 2 homes off the Oceanfront, this delightful cottage is only steps to the beautiful life-guarded beach in South Bethany. An inviting wrap-around deck leads to the spacious great room, featuring a vaulted ceiling with skylights and window lined walls with southern exposure that fill the home with an abundance of natural light. The open floorplan combines the living area with the kitchen and dining room, creating the ideal layout for gatherings of family and friends at the beach. Two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom are also on this floor. Step upstairs to find a spacious loft, ideal for an additional family room. This area can easily double as overflow sleeping space as-is or can be converted to a fourth bedroom. The large primary bedroom with a full bathroom and laundry are also on this floor. Equipped with an outdoor shower and storage on the ground level, this home truly offers the best of easy beach living. Situated on a 70ft x 70ft lot in South Bethany, well known for its beautiful life-guarded beach and just a short bike ride to downtown Bethany, this quintessential cottage is offered tastefully furnished as shown. The options are endless as this property would be a desirable rental or the lot provides plenty of space to build a sizeable new beach home with the potential to capture great ocean views from the upper levels.
