ABOUT THE YARD

The patio is perfect for outdoor dinners, and we have a gas grill with enough propane to allow you to grill every day if you wish. The shed contains beach toys and chairs, and a few bicycles for your use.

The rest of the yard around the house is more ornamental than practical but provides for some very charming curb appeal.

Great stay at a beautiful house!

We loved everything about our stay here. Location was great. House is beautiful and well appointed. We could avoid the crowds at the beach when we wanted to and just enjoy beautiful historic Lewes. We were here to visit family at Beebe Medical Center and it was quicker to walk and not have to worry about parking at the hospital. We would definitely stay here again.

Family gathering

Our stay at the Pink Lady couldn't have been nicer. The family (8 adults and 2 teens) were gathered for my father's memorial service. We all fit comfortably in the house. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and find a quiet space or come together for games, meals and conversation. The kitchen was well stocked for everything we needed for meals. The children enjoyed the bikes and the proximity to town and the beach. We would love to come again under happier circumstances to explore the area and relax at this property.

Great home in Lewes

Our extended family had an excellent stay in this home. It is a truly comfortable and well furnished house. We enjoyed many meals on the patio and at the large indoor dining table in the sunroom. The formal dining room and loving room were also really useful and pleasant spaces to get together. We loved sitting on the porches and the really short walk, pleasant into town (5 to 10 minutes). Christine was immediately responsive and helpful to any questions.

Incredible Property

Incredible stay at the Pink Lady for a long weekend, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Just a short drive away from beach access at cape Henelopen state park. Also very walkable to downtown Lewes. The home literally had everything you could need. All cooking supplies both inside and out (grill and grill utensils). Incredibly clean and parking for 3 cars on property was a plus! Plenary of room for a family of 8.

Wonderful stay at a house with character

Cute house with so many nice details. Great location in beautiful neighborhood. Short walk to shops/canal. About a mile from the beach. Fenced in yard is great for kids. Porch is wonderful for sitting with morning coffee. Lots of space inside. The bathroom downstairs has no shower and the downstairs bedroom is right off the kitchen, which made it an undesirable room to have. Other than that, everything was great.

We had a great stay at the Pink Lady; the house was in the perfect location for walking into town, the farmers market and even the beach.

What a great spot!

We came with family and friends for a week in Lewes. Our stay at the Pink Lady house was amazing. It is a delightful, spacious, well-supplied house that everyone enjoyed. Communication with the property owner/manager was quick and easy. The house bikes were in good condition, the beach chairs were great, and there were plenty of house beach towels for everyone! The basics in the kitchen (oil, salt, spices, sugar) made for easy cooking when we wanted. We didn’t have to worry about linens—all supplied—so logistically it was also uncomplicated. Overall, staying at this house made it easy to have a fantastic beach week for family!

Slice of summer heaven

Everything about our stay was top notch. Beautiful, well-appointed home centrally located to town and the bay. We loved everything about our stay from morning coffee on the wrap-around porch to the cozy TV room and elegant dining room for pasta dinner with extended family who live in nearby Dewey. Loved the quaint little town as well. Great restaurants! House and gardens are gorgeous! Thank you!

Couldn’t be better

Just fabulous, as we noted in the registry book by the front door! Kitchen was loaded for all kinds of cooking and meals. We easily served 12 at the dining room table and another night 15 scattered around the sunroom and outdoors. Bedrooms were perfect. Having new fenced in yard was great for having kids there. Plenty of parking, shed was loaded with beach toys and bikes. Easy to walk into town to the shops and restaurants or walk to the canal, or even to the beach. Or we could drive to the beach or ride bikes there same with going to Henlopen SP, which was loaded with things to do. My nephews loved the disc golf there, we loved the small waves with the boogie boards, Others liked the bike trails. I could say more, but will stop by noting this was all very reasonably priced. Thx!

Great house and great location

We were a group of four women who like to play bridge and shop and eat! We sometimes stay in hotels, but we wanted to each have separate bedrooms and this house has four bedrooms. It was a very pleasant surprise that the house not only had four bedrooms, but was spic and span clean And had anything we needed. It’s two blocks from LEWES shopping area and less than a mile to the beach. Their shed had chairs umbrellas, beach toys and bikes. Everything you would need for a family trip to the beach. We had good luck in that the weekend was in the 70s to 80 the last week in October. So had a great two days at the beach. Definitely would come again.Owner/manager responded to our questions immediately.

Very pleasant stay in Lewes

The house itself is in great shape, and the furnishings are much more substantial than we've often found in rental properties. The shed contained a lot of beach equipment--umbrellas and boogie boards, along with a wheeled basket for hauling them. It also had a bunch of bicycles. Lewes itself is charming, and Cape Henlopen state park is a gem. In August, there was a lot of first-rate local produce available.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Rich

Host profile image
We've been coming to Lewes for well over 30 years and absolutely love it here. It's a special town and well-kept secret. When our children were young we found Lewes Beach to be the perfect sand-castle building spot. Now that they are older, they still enjoy the beach but also take full advantage of the kayaking, fishing, bicycling and shopping options around town. We never run out of things to do or places to explore in Lewes. When we need a little more hustle-bustle we head over to Rehoboth for the boardwalk (Funland is the favorite boardwalk attraction) but we are always very happy to return to Lewes.

Why they chose this property

On one of my early trips to Lewes I noticed this house, and more importantly all the fun that people were having on the porch, and fell in love with it immediately. It just looked like a fun, comfortable place to be, and it became my dream to own a place like this. When this very house was listed for sale it was a dream come true. I am thrilled to be able to share this special home with others.

What makes this property unique

I want to make this home comfortable and inviting for all who visit it. We've furnished it with a combination of lovely antiques and high-end new furniture. We always welcome your feedback in order to make the home even better, and we are confident you will enjoy your stay.
