The house Aharon’s family actually lives in.
Beit Sela is a warm, 7-bedroom family vacation rental in Efrat. It is set up for large families and multi-generational groups: more than one place to sit, a kosher kitchen, a large dining area, balcony views, a barbecue, a seasonal pool, EV charging, and fast Wi-Fi.
Aharon describes it as the family home he shares with four children. Guests have the run of the house and are asked to treat the furniture, appliances, and shared rooms the way they would at a friend’s. It is a quiet street. There are no parties or events.

Living and dining
The living room is a long sofa, books, and a door out to the balcony. The dining table is a separate room’s worth of chairs, which is the point of a house like this: people can talk in one place and eat in another.
Board games, books, a TV, a Bluetooth sound system, and an Xbox One are on the listing. Arcade games are listed too.
Kitchen, and what Shabbat needs
Guests cook. The kitchen has a refrigerator and freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, coffee maker, toaster, blender, and the usual pots, pans, and dishes. The listing calls the kitchen kosher and adds a hot plate and an urn.
No certification body is named. If you need a specific hechsher, ask Aharon on Airbnb before you book.

Bedrooms
The headline is 7 bedrooms and 7 beds. Airbnb publishes a bed list for six rooms: a sofa bed, singles, doubles, and floor mattresses. The seventh room’s beds are not shown.
Photographs of bedrooms are in the gallery. They are not numbered to match those six rooms, because Airbnb did not caption them.
Pool · May through August
Yard, barbecue, and the pool
There is a backyard, an outdoor dining area, and a barbecue grill, with barbecue utensils listed in the kitchen section. The balcony looks toward hills and the neighboring houses.
EV charging is in the driveway. A hot tub is on the amenity list; none of the photographs is captioned as the hot tub.
During those months the listing describes the pool as private, outdoors, and open 24 hours.
What guests wrote
“It was just fun. A house in an excellent location, inviting and very pleasant to be in. The landlords are kind and available. We are really happy that we got to stay at their place.”
“We had a wonderful stay. Aaron's place is inviting, cozy and indulgent. The house is sparkling clean and everything is accessible. This is the great advantage of a house where you live and not a house that is intended only for rentals. We had everything there. The kids were in the well-maintained pool, playing X-box, and the whole family sat around the table with board games from the house. BBQ grill in the yard, fully equipped kitchen, coffee machine, ice machine, cold water. A supermarket is a 3-minute walk away. Aaron was available and attentive to any questions we had. We are definitely going back there.”
“It was a really great place. We came for a family Shabbat, and it was very successful. Some of the family members are already planning another family Shabbat there.”
