Everything was good with this house as described. We were comfortable enough other than I wish the grass was cut. It was quite high and not enjoyable to be out back, especially with my little dog. Other than that all was fine!

House was great, outside screened-in patio was even better. It was a great location, close to beach and quiet, easy to relax, but a short drive to anything you wanted. Meg was awesome and responded very quickly to anything we needed.

Pros• Location is fantastic! Could not ask for better! Quiet area, quick walk to beach. • Fence was sturdy & secure & under the porch was blocked off.• Screened porch with the heater was great.• The upstairs bedroom suite has a nicer bed, nice view & appears to be newer.• Water pressure is excellent & water is hot!• All communications with property owner were timely.Cons• Unfortunately the cleaning folks do the bare minimum! The house needs a thorough cleaning and bedding & sofa covers need replacing. It is definitely not washed after each guest. • The floor of the house is very wonky, I'd be concerned if there was someone with mobility issues.• The furniture is uncomfortable. Queen bed, sofas, porch furniture. It's just old & worn.In the queen bedroom...• the bedding was stained and covered with pet hair. The mattress pad & pillow covers are also stained & look very unclean & ratty.• There are dust bunnies & dirt under the bed.• There is no hanging space in the closet, just one over the door hanger. • There is one small dresser, it wasn't enough so we lived out of our suitcases.• No fault of the homeowner but previous guests didn't pick up after their dogs.• The upstairs bathroom has a rigged up shower curtain liner because the walk-in shower has no door.• The bathroom needed to be cleaned better, hair on the ceiling and a wad of TP behind the toilet.• In the pics there's a Keurig & coffee maker, brought k-cups only to find out there is no Keurig.

This house would have been perfect if it was a little cleaner. The host was perfect - had an issue with the televisions when we got there and it was handled promptly.Loved that it was pet friendly. My babies loved the yard and the beach. Beach just a 5-minute walk. We grilled out and the grill worked great.The kitchen was nice - microwave in a high, weird space. Had everything I needed (bring your own kitchen towels).A little disappointed in the cleanness of the unit. Floors definitely were not cleaned before our arrival (we could tell by our socks).I think with a little upgrade on the cleaning, this would be a great place to enjoy your vacation.

Great getaway!

The Purple Pearl was a fantastic spot for a weekend getaway with our kids and dog. Lots of space, great location, and the large screened in porch was amazing! We usually stay in Ocean City during our trips to the beach, but we would definitely visit this house in Bethany again.

Out of season oasis

My husband, pup and I stayed at the Purple Pearl for Thanksgiving and it was everything we hoped for. We spent alot of time on the porch under the heater and on the dock when it was warm. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our feast. The beach is so close, we walked there multiple times a day. We hope to spend time here again soon.

Great off-season visit to Bethany

The Purple Pearl is a lovely house in a great location in South Bethany. Even off season we enjoyed the amazing screened patio (with infrared heater!). The house was comfortable and had everything we needed as a family.

Brooks' 1st vacation

Great location as far as proximity to beach, right on canal, convenient to everything, the calm between Rehobeth and Ocean City! Unfortunately, we did not get full use of the wonderful screened porches, as the weather was more winter-like! House is dated, but a great value at the rate. Dirty dishes in dishwasher, not sure it works too good. Remotes for everything but the commodes! Fenced yard was the absolute perfect setup for our lab pup! Only treed/shaded lot on the street must be awesome in summer weather! Once our hosts got the heat on for us, we enjoyed our 1st vacation in 5 years comfortably! Listing and amenities is accurate, gas grill with xtra tank for outdoor cooking, crab pot on dock (not running till mid-June I was told). Good food reviews from Bethany Blues, Matt's Fish Camp in Fenwick, and Buck a Shuck oysters just north of Bethany on bayside! Bob, Kay & Brooks

Bon Voyage (Uterus) Tour ‘24

It. Is. FABULOUS!!!!! & if you play your cards right, you never need to go indoors :) The deck…. oh. em. geeeez! Sincerely, we used only the deck for most of the weekend. More seating than you can fathom. Outdoor smart TV. Infrared heater. Rope lights. Separate beverage fridge. Disco ball, lol! Magnetic door- screens to avoid the bugs, if ya don’t like buggies… Our 4-legged girls looooooved the fenced back yard! … ok, maybe mommy/ daddy liked it a liiiitle bit more ‘cause the girls could roam freely & we didn’t need to be a helicopter furbaby parent lol The upstairs master area is a dream as well- big screened in porch! The nature sounds lulled us to sleep every night :) Ceiling heater in the upstairs bathroom too- it came in handy during our rainy cool weekend. Kitchen was nicely stocked. Bring spices if you are a bit more culinarily advanced. Dishwasher & a ginormo cutting board! Gas grill just outside the deck! I honestly don’t know how our hosts let anyone else use it- I would never leave. It was perfect for our weekend- before- surgery. My brains feel relaxed & ready :)

Keep coming back!

This was our second year staying at this fabulous rental. This time we brought King sized sheets so we could enjoy the upstairs bedroom. I officially need a King sized bed in my life. I also love that it is separated from the rest of the house since my Husband goes to bed late and I get up early! Huge fan of the fenced in yard for our pup!!! Will be renting again next year if this is available during the convention <3
