Great place for a big family

A beutiful home by the beach. The shared back yard was a pleasant surprise, too. The house was very clean and well stocked with a beach cart, chairs, umbrella and some toys. We had a group of 11 including kids and fit just fine with kids sleeping on the floor in our room. Parking for at least 4 or 5 cars- that was nice. The outdoor shower was a "must have" for a beach vacation.
This was our first time to Bethany Beach and we did not know about the horrible traffice at the Bay Bridge and beyond. We were delayed at least an hour with all the heavy traffic on a Saturday at 2:00 pm. Live and learn. Next time we'll time things differently.
The owner, Matthew, could not be any more accomodating. He was easy to communicate with by email, responded quickly to my questions, and provided some tips for local attractions/restaurants.
We brought our bikes and our young kids enjoyed riding around the neighborhood and nearby areas. The Seaside Grill, 2 blocks over, was nice for a change of pace breakfast.
Mid-week, we travelled about an hour away to Assateague Island for the day. It was beautiful and the kids really enjoyed seeing the wild ponies and the beautiful walking trails with lots of educational information along the way. It was a little more crowded than I anticipated, but I would do it again. On our way home we went out to eat at Fishtales in Ocean City MD (upon the owners recommendation). It was fun for the kids and great to sit out by the docks with a drink. We had about an hour wait for a table for a large group, but everyone was entertained and happy during the wait.
Great vacation. We'll go again... This time crossing the Bay Bridge early in the morning on Saturday (we heard Friday night is horrible traffic, too).
