Wrangling to get a large group together for a vacation can be hard. Picking the perfect accommodation can make it so much easier.

North of Bethany Beach proper, this large house is located in a relatively quiet area closer to Delaware Seashore State Park.

Though there’s only one restaurant within walking distance, it’s a good one well-loved by locals: Matt’s Fish Camp. The house has an enclosed deck with an outdoor private shower for getting clean after a day on the beach. There’s no need to bring your own beach equipment as the owners have stocked up for you.

Boats of all kinds are available for rent. York Beach shops are well within walking distance, as are numerous restaurants and McCabe’s Gourmet Market.
