This is our third year staying at Grey Cottage and it never disappoints! The house is well set-up for families, a perfect location, and has all the amenities you could need. We highly recommend it!
The location of this house is just perfect and the layout is wonderful for large groups staying together. This is our second year staying here and we will stay again next year if they'll have us!
We loved our stay in this home. The location was perfect, there was plenty of space, everything was clean, beautiful and just charming. There were thoughtful extras like stacks of board games, toys for the kids, and extra blankets. We would love to return again!
Great place to stay near the bay. Short drive over to Rehoboth or Dewey if that’s your scene. Nice quiet neighborhood in a historic town. Lots of trails and bike paths, very short walk to the bay. House was better than advertised and lots of room for 4 adults and 5 kids.
We had the best week in Lewes and the Gray Cottage was an ideal place for my family to stay. There was so much space in the house and it was a short walk to the lovely bay beach. It was also an easy walk into town where there are so many good restaurants.
The house was very well equipped and Heidi was so easy to communicate with. We would definitely look to stay there again.
This is our fourth time staying at this property, and we loved it once again. Great space, good value, amazing location, and very helpful hosts. Thanks for another wonderful stay!
All ten members of our family from age 6 to 66 enjoyed the cozy and spacious property! The walking distance to the bay was especially convenient. The kids loved the front dining area for board games and the yard for playing. The grownups liked some of the separation but there was enough seating between the open concept family room and dining area for everyone to be together.
Our stay was great. The owners, Michael & Heidi, we very responsive and answered questions in a timely manner.
The property is so close to the bay, stores and shops, and places to eat. 10/10 would recommend!
This was the perfect location, half a block from the beach and a leisurely 15 minute stroll to the main downtown part of Lewes. The house itself was very cute and had everything we needed for traveling with many small kids, including a crib, two rooms with two twin beds each, beach chairs, a fenced yard, an outdoor shower, a stocked kitchen, a huge comfy couch. We loved our stay and hope to return next year!
Everything was great! Lots of room and all the little household items that make a stay nice were available, including some ground coffee and paper towels for the kitchen. House was very clean. Highly recommended!
Spacious, well-equipped home with an amazing location. Stayed with 3 friends for a girls trip and we couldn't have been happier with this home. The short walk to the beach was fabulous, and the owner was incredibly responsive. This was a top notch rental.
We loved our stay at Gray Cottage! The home is spacious, the hosts are responsive and accommodating, and the location is excellent (one block to the beach and walkable to the downtown area). The home is fully stocked (beach gear, kitchen supplies, games, and movies) to make a memorable family beach vacation. We are grateful to Michael and Heidi for their home and stay.
This is our second summer at the Gray Cottage and we had a lovely long weekend at the beach. Even though it was rainy my one and three year old had a great time running around the house and popping out to the yard or beach wherever the weather cleared. We look forward to coming back next year!
