About this property
Thalassofili: Curated by the Sea
Introducing Thalasssofili, greek for "Lover of the Sea." We built Thalassofili in 2023 to fulfill our vision of living the classical-romantic good life by the water. Picture a luxurious retreat close to the ocean, bay and charming town center, just a short drive away from the bustling scenes of neighboring boardwalk towns. Our private pool, pavilion, epicurean kitchen, movie/game room, exclusive cul de sac location and other well-planned amenities will enable you slip quickly and deeply into the good life by the water. Welcome to "Thalassa Life"!

About the host
Hosted by Van Papadopoulos
We're Van and Analou! We've had some of our best travel/stay experiences at east coast B&B's, inspired by stylish homes and hosts with great attention to detail. Our careers in real estate and hospitality groomed us to create equally amazing experiences for our guests. Please check out our other listing here on VRBO as well: Cozy Cottage by the City in Bethesda, MD.
Why they chose this property
Thalassofili is nestled in an exclusive, 10 home cul de sac in Lewes DE - the first town established in the first US state. Lewes is quaint and calm, and has a terrific main street lined with historical homes, outstanding restaurants and cute shops. It's home to the beautiful beaches of Cape Henlopen State Park, and within striking distance of the bustling boardwalk scenes of Rehoboth and Ocean City. Tip: Set aside a day to take the Lewes-Cape May Ferry across the Delaware Bay to idyllic Cape May NJ, the vacation spot for many a US President of the past where gorgeous Victorian homes, shops, restaurants and pristine beaches await.
What makes this property unique
Thalassofili was curated as a luxury retreat by the water, not a "beach house." Its inviting private pool, elements of style and generous amenities will help you feel right at home, right away. Our goal is to help you slip quickly and deeply into the good life by the water, the "Thalassa Life," that has provided us enjoyment, love and mental-spiritual rejuvenation so many times before.
