Welcome to your quintessential Bethany Beach cottage, beautifully reimagined for today’s coastal lifestyle! Completely renovated in 2020, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends the relaxed character of a classic beach retreat with a fresh, updated interior, all within an easy walk of the beach. Step inside to a bright, open floor plan designed for effortless beach living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, completely redone with a large center island, stainless steel appliances and plenty of space to gather after a day in the sun. The open living and dining areas flow naturally together, while three comfortable bedrooms and two beautifully updated baths provide plenty of room for family and guests.

The property offers driveway and under-home parking with space for up to four vehicles, along with secure storage. Even better, this home is being offered furnished, with kitchen appliances and the contents of the kitchen cabinets and drawers included, making it easy to begin enjoying the Bethany Beach lifestyle from day one. Whether you're searching for a personal beach retreat, a proven vacation rental, or a property that can offer the best of both worlds, 215 4th Street is ready for its next summer of memories. Walk to the beach, come home to comfort, and leave the renovation projects behind. This one has already made the transformation from old beach cottage to beautifully updated coastal getaway.
