We loved the location. We particularly enjoyed riding bikes in the park and into Lewes. We really enjoyed the pool - went most afternoons between the kids’ nap time and supper time. The beach was good for the 2 year olds although the water was chilly (expected for this time of year).

Laid back perfection

The house was perfectly warm and inviting with multiple, different indoor and outdoor seating areas for our large group. Beach and pier access just steps away made this spring weekend not too far from home feel like a special, relaxing, gem of a destination. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy, comfortable weekend on the bay.

Very nice house, great location.

The pictures will say it all, nice house and great location. What sets it apart is the owner's rep, Lee Ann. We had an unexpected beach reclamation project during our stay and Lee Ann went out of her way to make it right. We really appreciated her responsiveness and solution. Had a great visit.

Clean house, great location

Our group of three families, six kids in tow, spent a week here to kick off summer vacation and had a great time! Upon arrival, the house was clean and kitchen was well stocked. The house is in a great location, with private beach access and we enjoyed having the fishing pier, swimming pool, and state park all within walking distance. There was plenty to do nearby in addition to the beach and our drives into downtown Lewes and the Rehoboth boardwalk were also very fun.

Great beach getaway in Lewes

Looks exactly as pictured. The house was extremely well equipped including the kitchen and walk-in pantry. It has beautiful views of the Delaware Bay and amazing sunsets, which you can watch from the outdoor decks. It is right on the beach with a walk path thru fragrant smelling wild flowers and beach grass. We are coming back again next year!!!

Wonderful House in a Great Location on Lewes Beach

We came for a week-long February change of scenery during the pandemic and were not disappointed. Great location on the beach in Cape Shores with beautiful views of the bay, dune access for walks on the beach, close proximity to Cape Henlopen State Park, and the restaurants/shops of Lewes nearby. The house is well equipped and nicely appointed and Lee Ann was a wonderful host. Highly recommend.

Great location and great property

The house was everything we needed. Lots of rooms to spread people around, decks and balconies for access to the outside. We lucked out on good weather (in late March) and ate every meal outside on the screened-in porch. The beds and bathrooms were good too. The house is so close to the park and the beach - we were able to walk on the beach very easily. The kitchen was well-appointed; the coffee maker broke while we were there and a new one showed up just hours after contacting the owner. Great response! We intend to stay here again!

What a wonderful place for a Girls' Getaway to celebrate a 50th Birthday. The home is beautifully decorated, has large size rooms and it had everything we needed. Being able to walk right to the beach was fabulous! We spent a lot of time walking and biking at Cape Henlopen Park which was so close. Lee Ann was quick to respond to any question I had regarding our reservation. Everyone was pleased and I would absolutely stay there again!

Cape Shores

Great location on the beach. House was just as advertised. Great view from the family room, where we spent most of our time since the weather was not great. Even though we were not able to see the sunset from the beach or pier due to the clouds, we still took the short walk to both the beach and the pier each night at sunset. We have previously seen the sunset from the beach and pier and it is amazing.

This was our third time staying at the Lewes beach home. We love staying at this home. There is 11 of us, all different ages. Easy beach access and walking distance to a park. Plenty of bicycles if you wish to bike. We even biked to town.The kitchen is well equiped and had everything we needed for a Thanksgiving dinner. The home is clean and well kept. Bedding is comfortable. Lee Anne is very responsive and answered our questions within hours, if not within the hour. We would definitely stay again.
