Take a short walk in the town of Lewes to enjoy the shops and restaurants without having to worry about traffic and parking. You may also enjoy walking along the Lewes canal to taking in views and fishing boats or listening to music at Irish Eyes or The Wheelhouse. If you are the adventurous type you can board a charter boat to do some fishing or dolphin watching. Less than a mile walk to Lewes Beach on the Delaware Bay for swimming and kayaking. Young children can play for hours in the sand and calm bay water. It is a short drive to the ocean at Cape Henlopen State Park for swimming, surfing and fishing.

We had a great vacation staying at this cozy spot in Lewes. Conveniently located to the beach (straight shot down the road), downtown Lewes and a 5 min drive from the main strip on the way to Rehoboth, we liked calling this place home for the week. Marilynn was also very responsive which helped us a lot.

Quick Beach Trip

Great to be in-town for this price at such a cute house - really nicely decorated for the beach! So close to downtown Lewes - we could all walk and bike where we wanted, then a quick and easy drive to the beach.

We loved the location and family gathering space. I am tall and the short basement had me bump my head a few times but that’s on me for moving too quickly.

Nice location. Can walk to restaurants and stores. Really enjoyed the screened in porch and we didn’t need it but it seemed the lower level would be a great place for a group of kids to get up to great fun.

Spacious house conveniently located to downtown Lewes, walking/biking trails, and Lloyd's market. The noise from the hospital across the street was somewhat bothersome, but on the plus side our kids loved watching the ambulances come and go at all hours!

Annual Lewes Visit

This property is a great place to stay for a Lewes trip! It sleeps many, has a wonderful screened in porch, has walking access to town and great coffee shops, and near a walking/biking trail. Lloyd market is a few blocks away with the largest small grocery selection of items if you've forgotten something or want to cook an entire meal. Check-in/out was very easy and times for check-in/out were VERY reasonable. We look forward to staying here again!

Downtown Lewes

The host was very relaxed. We had an Early check-in and it was no issue. The location is exactly where you want to be visiting Downtown Lewes. Park the car and walk the town. We all had a great time. I definitely recommend the place and I will be staying there again.

Great location and comfortable stay

Home was very nice. I always look for places that have comfortable common spaces and this place had that. The living room had enough seating and was comfortably arranged. There is also a nice front porch facing the street with good seating and then finally a screened in side porch with comfortable furniture. We really enjoyed our stay and found the location to our liking. You can easily walk to the shops and restaurants in Lewes. Would definitely book again.

Laid back, relaxing beach escape away from hustle-bustle of commercial beach towns.

This is a quaint cottage-type home, nicely decorated, plenty of separate spaces (indoor and out) for guests to gather (we had 6 adults and 3 kids), easy parking for 3+ cars. Clean property, comfortable beds, outdoor faucet to wash off sand. Walking distance to many lovely restaurants, shops, free or inexpensive museums, close to Savannah beach which is great for kids due to very little waves. The streets are picturesque with lovely plants/ flowers. We’ll be back with our bikes to explore the trails.
