This is the first oceanfront, 8-bedroom home to hit the market in downtown Bethany Beach in years — and it was worth the wait. Designed to embrace breathtaking ocean views, this custom-built retreat offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and unforgettable seaside living. The open-concept main level places the gourmet kitchen, dining room, and great room under soaring vaulted ceilings, all centered around stunning views of the Atlantic. The luxurious primary suite offers its own private screened-in porch — the perfect spot to watch the sunset — along with a spa-like en suite featuring an oversized shower and a soaking tub with views of the shoreline. On the middle level, seven well-appointed bedrooms, four baths, and a second oceanview family room create space for everyone to gather or unwind. Smart design touches include a private elevator, 4-car garage, multiple outdoor showers, and a private walkway to the sand. A day at the beach In this Bethany Beach retreat, each day begins with a sunrise over the ocean and glides into afternoon naps under an umbrella and lunch back on the screened-in porch. After dinner, a stroll into town for ice cream and live music at the bandstand becomes a cherished tradition. This is more than a beach house; it’s a place where moments become memories. Top it all off with front-row views of the Bethany Beach fireworks from your private rooftop deck, and you have a coastal home like no other. And for those interested in rental potential, this home generates over $100,000 per season in income.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
