Beautiful Home in a very nice community
This home suited our needs and was convenient to everything we were interested in. Watching the golfers go by on the back enclosed porch was relaxing.

Great location, comfortable with lots of room, upstairs AC had trouble keeping it cool during the day, but would catch up by bedtime
Great community. House is very large and was very clean at check in.Only issue was air conditioning upstairs. Window units were provided and necessary. Communication from rental agency could have been better. We were not informed that air conditioning unit was being replaced, a full day project, or that someone was coming in to replace a light bulb.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was lovely, but I did not like the idea that I practically had to clean the house before I left.. warrant housekeeper is coming into clean? Putting the bedspreads back on the bed made me think that perhaps they’re not washed between guests.. I was not comfortable with that. Also, I think the owner should purchase tags for the property for the season and charge each guest a little bit more for the rental so that we did not have to go out and buy the tags for the use of the facilities on the property.
This house was perfect for our large, multi-generational family vacation! This house is huge!!!! I know it doesn't look it in the pictures but we were pleasantly surprised how big it was! The open concept family room/kitchen area was perfect for us all to gather in without feeling cramped. And there was plenty of space for everyone to have there own down time. The screened in back porch was a great bonus!!!!! This house was beautifully decorated and the kitchen completely stocked with everything imaginable-even cookbooks!!! The wonderful neighborhood pool, tennis courts and clubhouse are just a short walk down the street. And the beaches and boardwalk are just a super short car ride away. Fenwick State Beach was about 10 minutes by car and turned out to be our favorite thanks to the public bathhouse and smaller crowd. We would absolutely recommend this home to everyone!!!!
Bear Trap Dunes was a wonderful place to spend one week and take advantage of on site amenities as well as the neaeby beaches. House was very comfortable for the 10 of us.
This property worked well for our extended family’s vacation. There was plenty of space in the home and opportunities around the community so that family members were not cramped. We enjoyed the trip!

Reviewer Comments:
the house was big and beautiful 10 adults and 2 children we had plenty of space kitchen had everything you can think the house had everything you can think of even chairs for beach and umbrella the only minor thing is the sliding doors were a little hard to close the upstairs A/C could have been cooler at times compared to the downstairs one. We all loved the house I would go back in a heartbeat. Amenities pools were great shuttle is great only thing it should leave you closer to the beach.
We were impressed with the property, more amenities than we thought and it was sparkling clean. The ride to beach with our Bear Trap passes was so convenient. We did have an AC problem upstairs, twice. Someone came right out to fix it, lines were leaking and it had happened before we got there as well. Hopefully owner has had it fixed.
This home was a surprise to us with the size and condition. It was much larger than anticipated and more beautiful! We throughly enjoyed this house!

Great house, clean with great amenities. Great neighborhood. Overall transaction was easy. Will do it again.
We have stayed in Bear Trap Dunes for a number of years now. This was our first year at this property (our previous rental was sold by the owner recently). We had a great time, as expected. The house is much more roomy than we anticipated from looking at the video, and we were very comfortable. The location is great. and there is a lovely large screen porch that looks over the golf course Our only wish is that it had a slightly larger dining room table (there is plenty of room for it) so that we could accommodate more of our party of 11 people. However, we would certainly stay there again in the future.
Needed to get away with children and grandchildren during Covid. Home was beautiful, extremely clean and equipped with everything you could possible need. Really felt like home. Close to pool, beautiful view and perfect for our toddler and teen grandchildren. Will definitely be back again with rest of our family.
Thanks for a stress free getaway.
