<p>I would like to rent a beach house for about 7 people in Bethany Beach, DE for this June. Any advice on where to look for one, websites with rentals, or anything else you could share would be really appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>Most of the larger realtors in the area also do vacation rentals. Here’s some weblinks that might me helpful. Also, I would check out Rehoboth Beach as well as Bethany. Move fast, things will start to fill up pretty quickly. </p>

<p>I rented through this website last summer and it worked out very well. The rentals are worldwide so it is also a good website for a little armchair traveling.</p>

<p>Similar to above, try <a href=“http://www.vrbo.com%5B/url%5D”>www.vrbo.com</a> (Vacation Rentals by Owner). Friend used it going to Italy - Wonderful small apartment she rented in Rome.</p>
<p>I have successfully used long and foster for bethany, but I’m sure any of the above would do well. June is a lot easier than after July 4, in my experience. That is when things really start to get busy and congested around there. Have fun!</p>
<p>We stayed at Bethany over July 4 weekend in 2002 with 4 other families. My husband had brought his trumpet because he needed to practice during the week and we convinced him to bring it down to the beach for the fireworks. There were literally thousands of people near us on the beach but you could have heard a pin drop when he played The Star Spangled Banner and Taps. It was very moving. We were staying at a condo right there so instead of driving in the traffic we just walked back up to our place.</p>
<p>kathiep - I know what you mean. My best friend’s D got married at sunrise on the beach at Bethany. We all walked down to water’s edge with a female soloist singing something beautiful that I don’t happen to recall. All windows opened behind us, all decks filled with enchanted onlookers. Another very moving moment.</p>
<p>Have recently used <a href=“http://www.vrbo.com%5B/url%5D”>www.vrbo.com</a> for California beach rental. </p>
<p>Also try local Chamber of Commerce website for local realtors with rentals.</p>
<p>People have rented at the Sea Colony and liked it. Tennis anyone?</p>
<p>Sea Colony! Yes, that’s where we stayed. The quality of these places vary widely. Since we were there with 4 other families we saw each others places. Prices also varied. One of our friends had a beautiful corner condo on about the third floor. Walkable if the elevators were slow, but high enough so the noise of beachgoers wasn’t annoying. I prefer places a little quieter like the Outer Banks but with teenagers, some that drove, this was great.</p>
<p>Do you want oceanfront, oceanside or westside? I think the Sea Colony takes up a lot of the direct oceanfront property, but there are areas called “North Bethany” and “South Bethany” too.</p>
<p>Long and Foster is a big realtor in that area. Check out <a href=“http://www.lfvacations.com/[/url]”>http://www.lfvacations.com/</a></p>
<p>We’ve also used <a href=“http://www.vrbo.com%5B/url%5D”>www.vrbo.com</a> - to find a house to rent for a ski vacation. Funny story - I was talking to the owner to make the arrangements, one thing led to another and it turned out I knew her and her husband very well - we were grad school classmates!</p>
<p>The water in the MD/DE area is often quite cold in June, and coupled with the wind it can be downright unpleasant to sit on the beach. (You may need your beach umbrella to be turned on its side as a windbreak!) The air temperature during the last week in June can sometimes be pretty nice though.</p>
