About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to your new home, a delightful retreat nestled just 15 minutes from the sandy shores of Bethany Beach, in the water front community of Whites Creek Manor. Perfectly suited for families or those looking to enjoy a peaceful coastal lifestyle, this property has been cherished by the same family for generations. It’s never been rented, which means it retains a unique sense of warmth and authenticity.

Inside, you'll find a comfortable layout featuring three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a handy half-bathroom. With newer appliances, fresh paint, and updated flooring in the main part of the home already in place, the home is move-in ready but still offering you the opportunity to infuse your personal touch.

The exterior complements the interior with a spacious deck ideal for summer gatherings, a large garage, and an outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach.

This home combines convenience with charm, offering a quiet respite that’s still close to the vibrant community and the beaches.
