This Victorian house was perfect for the style and location we wanted when staying in Lewes for my son's wedding in October '11. It felt like we'd stepped into a familar home where we were immediately comfortable with the lovely decor, kitchen and street. We had three families there for a week-end with several kids in their twenties who also had a great time. We had good family fun in the dining room with a pre-wedding breakfast as well as cousin sharing eveniing in the back courtyard with candles under the lovely trees. I would love to return sometime as Lewes is a fantastic little town. My only recommendation would be for a more serious vacumn cleaner be available to guests if they are to tidy the house before their departure. Oh yes, I forgot to say how members of the family enjoyed sitting on the front porch talking, sorting photos, reading a magazine or waiting for the next 'event' of the week-end! Thanks Bill and Sallie! DianeOwner response: We are so glad Diane's family enjoyed our house! It is a great place for a wedding party.

This is a beautiful home with so much attention to detail. It is amazingly furnished with everything you could need. The main house has got so much room. There is a kids area on the third floor that was a big hit for our family. It also has the cutest Carriage House with a double bedroom upstairs. The landscaping in the courtyard is so lovely. The unit takes up one half of a Victorian house, but in no way does it feel like you are crowded by the neighbors. The front porch is a wonderful spot to sit and relax. It is a short drive to the beach and Cape Henlopen State Park. The bonus of being in town is being able to walk to all the shops and restaurants.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

This is a charming house, very comfortably furnished. Perfect location in town, but near enough to the beaches--best of both worlds! the carriage house out back is a great set-up for kids & their friends. Lewes is a terrific little town.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 4/5
