All you could need

The property is lovely! It has all that you could need for a beach stay! The views are incredible…fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of the waves crashing. Comfortable accommodations and clean! Easy process from start to finish and good communication.

We’re glad you were able to enjoy yourselves in spite of our snafu. Sounds like you are very resourceful in solving the problem. Thank you again for making the best of things and loving the beach. – Marcia Plotkin

Why is vacation so short?

The weather forecast wasn’t shore weather but it was!!! (They always scare you for nothing!). A great vacation begins with a great family. To that you add a beautiful condo, beautiful weather and great food. We had it all. The air conditioner tried to spoil one evening but Steve was there within minutes and sent repair man Daniel out and we were cool again in no time. We ate at the recommended Matt’s Fish Camp and it was very good. Hard to believe we had a great restaurant a block away! We hope to see you again Bethany Beach!

We appreciate your kind words and patience about our home and what turned out to be a minor a/c fix. There’s nothing like locating your vacation directly on the beach. We hope to see you again for another vacation. Best wishes, Marcia

The house was perfect!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway. The house is right in the dunes so getting down to the private beach was super quick and easy. The beds and couch were super comfortable, and we had a bottle of complementary wine waiting for us. We’ll be back for sure!

AMAZING VIEWS in this lovely townhome location in Tower Shores

Our family LOVED this townhome in Tower Shores with the most amazing ocean views. Since we have small kids, it was a real treat to be so close to the beach where we could easily take one of little ones up for naptime or grab lunch. The owner was so friendly and wonderful to work with….easily answering any question we had. The beds were also the most comfortable of any beds we’ve ever slept in while in a beach rental! The home is modestly decorated, but was perfect for our family and all you need for an incredible beach getaway. Highly recommend!

A bit expensive but WORTH IT !!

We loved staying at the property with easy beach access. It was spacious and comfortable for our small family of 5 adults and 2 children. Best part was falling asleep to the waves crashing on the beach at night, we already miss that.

Thanks Neville; you’ve encapsulated exactly what we love about Ocean Spirit. I’d like to record that sound and play it several times a day at work. Thanks for coming to Bethany Beach. – Marcia

Location cannot be beat! Ocean waves lulled us to sleep and the kids enjoyed the wide, clean beach.

Plenty of room for our family of five with room to invite another family on our next stay. We will definitely stay here again for our next beach vacation.

Found our vacation home!

We have been coming to Bethany Beach for six years now and have stayed at five different places always searching for the perfect rental. This year we found it! As soon as we walked in the door we could tell this house was so much cleaner than the previous rentals. Since there isn’t a screened in back porch we had beautiful unrestricted views of the ocean. The owner had lots of thoughtful little things (such as shower caddies in the showers to hold all your stuff!) that were greatly appreciated. I had to contact the owner with a minor issue and she went above and beyond to make sure the issue was resolved. As soon as I returned home I booked our stay for next year!! As far as we are concerned this is our forever vacation home!!

Thanks so much for your kind review. You managed to capture the essence of “Ocean Spirit” including the pride we take in response to maintenance issues that pop up when on the beach. We especially thank you for your consideration of the house and look forward to your return ever after.-Marcia

This was our first time renting a beach property, and it was such a good experience that we want to do it again! Ocean Spirit is just amazing – right on the beach but still private. The unit itself was clean and well-kept; the furniture was all really nice and the floor-plan made it easy to accommodate 2 families without getting in each other’s way. It is very well located, also, with very convenient shopping. The owners were considerate and easy to work with, and we even had a bottle of wine waiting for us – what a great touch! We will definitely rent this unit again and would recommend it to all –

Thanks Peggy (and Richard too). We didn’t realize you were first-timers; you seemed so experienced with your questions and your review. We’ve met some amazing people through Ocean Spirit and hope to be renting for quite awhile longer. We very much appreciate your comments and hope to speak further in the year. Take care. – Marcia and Steve

Ocean Spirit…Wonderful vacation!

We have stayed on Bethany Beach for over ten years, all at Tower Shores. Ocean Spirit is by far our favorite condo right on the Beach. The owners are friendly and are wonderful to work with and, unlike other owners whose property we have rented, the Plotkin’s live nearby in case anything is needed. We spent the week there with two of our daughters, their husbands and five grandchildren and had plenty of room…and fun! Bethany and Rehoboth Beaches have plenty of great restaurants and family activities nearby, and shopping at the three Tanger Malls in Rehoboth is sales tax free.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 24, 2023

The beach is terrific, isn’t it? So glad you enjoyed our remodeling and all the sights and sounds around us. Bethany is quite the family town with great restaurants and activities. We hope you visit soon again and bring those grandchildren again. Nothing beats being able to walk right down to the beach. Thanks again for your positive review. – The Plotkins (glad Steve got to meet you even if in a most strange way)
