We loved our stay at Vitamin Sea! We were 3 families and there was plenty of room. It was quiet, but close to everything we wanted to do. The kids loved the bay. There were horseshoe crabs and other wildlife galore that the kids had a blast identifying. It was a 1 minute drive to Cape Henlopen state park. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Great place, fully equipped, so close to the beach!
Great neighborhood, clean, well maintained, fully equipped home minutes from the bay beach. Lots of games, kayaks, chairs, and a tandem to enjoy while there. Perfect for a family getaway.

This was our sixth year in Lewes, and this is the perfect house for us. It was very clean, the neighbors were quiet, and we enjoyed watching the wildlife in the pond. We are returning next year.

Debbie, it was great to have your group this summer! We hope your Vitamin Sea coffee mug brings you fond memories until next time. Erin & family
Lovely, comfortable house loaded with amenities. Steps to the community pool, and Cape Henlopen State Park, plus the beach and fishing pier. Charming nearby downtown Lewes is minutes by car or bike. The toddler loved the Pirate Ship cruise in Lewes, especially aiming water cannons at the “bad” pirate.
Lovely house if you want to be near the fun. Bay access in the neighborhood along with pool, fishing pier and tennis courts. Close access to beach and bike paths. Very near to ferry and town. House is very comfortable with plenty of outdoor areas available as well!

About the host
Hosted by Erin M.
We live in Annapolis, Maryland, with our two boys but love escaping to Lewes, DE. We love curating what we like in a rental home—clean, comfortable and convenient.
Why they chose this property
The Cape Shores community offers a private beach, pool, fishing pier, and tennis courts. The quiet of Lewes Bay is perfect for relaxing, and the ocean is right around the corner if you want more surf.
What makes this property unique
We love the open concept, spread-out bedrooms, and natural light. The back of the house overlooks the pond, which offers year-round serenity. The rental is our second home—we take great pride in the furnishings and cleaning of the home. The home is rented from May to October, giving it the rest of the year to rest and reset.
