Family Beach Vacation!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at the Vitamin Sea. Erin was wonderful with communication, and answered all of our questions promptly. This, plus the email communication, made for a wonderful stay at the house! The house itself was great, and had plenty of space for our family. Breakfast on the porch was a favorite every morning! The neighborhood was safe, and wonderful, and we took advantage of the pool on afternoons before dinner. We loved the access to the beach, as well as the pier. A lovely vacation overall!

this home measures up to its description. Home is very spacious, lovely decorated with high quality art, comfortable furniture, comfortable beds (and I'm very picky about beds being firm yet soft). Loved the screened in porch and front decks for lounging. Tv's in every room; lots of games and books. Used the kayaks and paddle board and bikes. Kitchen well equipped. Owner very responsive.

An absolutely lovely getaway weekend at the beautiful "Vitamin Sea" in Lewes, DE

Our group gets together for an annual getaway weekend every year. This year we had the opportunity to rent the lovely Vitamin Sea home in Lewes, DE! We had an absolutely wonderful time. We loved the house, the location, the whole experience! It's a perfect home for a group of couples and/or families. It had every amenity you could ask for, with a lovely and homey decor. Our group enjoys biking, and we took advantage of the fabulous bike trails/loop to Rehoboth and back through Henlopen Park. Just beautiful!!! Erin was just wonderful to work with. It has truly been a pleasure and we can't wait to rent this lovely home again!!!

See Vitamin Sea!

This is a spacious, spotlessly clean home a short walk from the Delaware Bay at Lewes Beach. The 10 members of our extended family had plenty of space. The Cape Shores location provided a large pool for our grandson & others to relax. We were thankful for the ground level home access with the ramp, easy for child strollers or others who need easy access. Vitamin Sea provided kayaks for our use and it’s location so close to Cape Henlopen State Park provided the amazing trails for biking, running and walking just yards away! We had a great time at Vitamin Sea and strongly recommend it as a family-friendly vacation home!

Wonderful stay!

We had a great week at this wonderful house. Erin could not have been more accommodating in dealing with COVID, but also so helpful with lists of restaurant recommendations. All communications with her were answered very quickly. The house has everything you need and more - beach chairs, umbrellas etc. The location of the house is a quick three minute walk to the beach and pier, and only one minute to the pool. The screened porch is shady all day and catches all the breezes. Just perfection! Thank you so much. Can't wait for our next trip!!

It was ok…

Neihborhood is quiet and safe. House is cute and cozy, great for small group of 5-6 people. Walking to beach is dirty and smelly. You have to drive 5 min to get to good beach. Wifi is weak and needs attention. Internet is not reliable. Cell is weak also. . Restaurant in area aren’t great but their is a lot of places for bicycling. We stayed 3 full days and was enough for this location.

Fantastic

Vitamin Sea is the perfect setting for a relaxing vacation. It was our first time vacationing in Lewes, DE so we didn't truly know what to expect and both Eric and Sean's home and the area exceeded our expectations in every way. The home is in meticulous condition and fit our two families extremely well. The close proximity to the Bay Beach, Fishing Pier and community pool was perfect, especially with small children. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the bay beach! The calm water, the sand bar, the kayaks, the fishing pier, there was something that pleased everyone in our group. We also biked to Lewes and explored town, it's fantastic. We loved the quaint downtown and exploring the shops, parks and boats. All in all one of our most favorite beach vacations, can't wait to return. Erin and Sean thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Best Regards, Tim Laboranti

Weekend Rental in Lewes, DE

We recently rented this house in Lewes, DE for a long weekend getaway with our friends and our children. One of the major advantages of the house was its proximity to a private beach. It made it incredibly convenient for our families with young children to access the beach without any hassle. We appreciated not having to travel far to enjoy the sun, sand, and waves. The house was well-equipped with all the necessary appliances, which made our stay comfortable and convenient. Additionally, the presence of a Weber grill was a nice touch and allowed us to have enjoyable cookouts. The screened-in porch provided a lovely space where we could relax, enjoying the beautiful view of the pond nearby. The rental also included beach equipment and bikes, which added an extra element of fun for both the adults and the kids. A few things to note, though. With only one dish washer pod provided, we had to purchase additional pods to ensure we could clean all our dishes properly. Because replacement trash bags were not provided, we had to purchase additional bags. While we were aware of having to bring our own towels and linens prior to our arrival, it still added an extra level of preparation and packing for our trip. It would have been a nice touch to have basic toiletries like shampoo and conditioner available, especially for guests who were traveling from a distance or simply preferred not to bring their own. Overall, we had a wonderful time and created lasting memories.

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.

Weekend Stay

The house was great, in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to the bayside and state park for beach access, had everything we could have ever needed in the kitchen and was great for family gatherings. Loved the bikes and not having to bring our own beach chairs! Lv Only downside was that the cleaners were still in the house for about 30 minutes after our check in time due to a hiccup with the laundry. They were very kind about it, worked diligently but didn’t cut any corners, and we were able to enjoy the outdoor space while we waited.

Great house, great location

The home is as beautifully appointed as the description reads — and it feels much bigger than the photos! We stayed here with 6 adults, a toddler, and a baby and the bedrooms on three separate floors allowed everyone their own space. Plus, you can’t beat the location of this place — a few doors down from the pool, a quick walk to the bay, a 2 minute drive to Cape Henlopen beaches, and a 5 minute drive into town. Highly recommend!

Exceptional Family Stay at Lewes Beach

My family and I enjoyed every minute of our trip to Vitamin Sea. Erin is a wonderful host. The house is a very short walk to the excellent community pool, the gorgeous bayside beach with shallow water and gentle waves that are perfect for young kids, and the community's fishing pier. The entrance to Cape Henlopen State Park is around the corner, which offers great day trips to bay and ocean beaches, bike trails, hiking trails, and more. Every aspect of the house aligned with the description and exceeded our expectations. We look forward to coming back next year!

Our Lewes "home"

We are two seniors, four young adults and a six year old, and this house suits us perfectly. I love breakfast on the screened porch overlooking the pond. The "kids" love the easy access to the pool across the street, and we all spend time at both bay and beach. The Vitamin Sea kitchen is so well equipped and nicely organized, it's a pleasure to cook. With bikes and beach chairs, plus linens provided, it's a vacation dream. Five stars all around!

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.

We are committed to a top-notch experience.
