About this property

Parklike Setting With Bay View Steps From Lewes Beach

Contemporary Lewes Beach home located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac adjacent to green space/canal within short walk to downtown (there is a even a trail through the woods leading to the marina area and Irish Eyes). Pet-friendly with fenced yard and great dog running space close by. The house can accommodate anywhere from 8 - 12 guests by combining the first floor apartment with the rest of the house. See below for details.
The main house is located on a the second level and features a generous master bedroom (king) with ensuite bath and direct access to the rear Charleston porch and rooftop widow's walk. The second bedroom (queen) has an ensuite bath and deck with sitting area with wooded views. The third bedroom (queen) is directly across from a full hallway bath, and the fourth bedroom is an open room with two bunks and a full sleeper sofa. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is open to a sunroom, dining area and living room with large screen TV as well as direct access to a covered outdoor dining porch and grilling area. A second, private nautical styled rear living/family room with bar/sink/microwave, beverage fridge and fireplace with TV has direct access to the Charleston-styled porch with two-person hot tub and access to the rooftop widow's walk with incredible views of the bay. Perfect for sunset cocktails or sunrise yoga. This second living area makes this house ideal for groups and families.

There is also a newly renovated beautiful 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment downstairs with a screened-in porch, brand-new kitchen and generous living and dining area available for an additional $250/night. We do not rent the apartment out separately, but do use it on occasional weekends if it is not rented to the upstairs guests. A separate entrance makes this a great space for grandparents or for a family with 1-2 kids, or those desiring a bit more privacy.

The house features a three-bay garage with kayaks, bikes and beach gear and plenty of driveway and off-street parking - easily 5 - 6 cars. The irrigated yard has a nice large lawn for croquet, frisbee and relaxing by the picnic table for after-beach fun. There is a ping pong table in the garage as well. There is a great outdoor shower adjacent to the garage with a garden hose for rinsing off dogs, feet and gear!

Fantastic home in a great location! Very clean and very comfortable. Loved all the space for our family - including the dog! So many things to do - kids loved riding bikes to town, walking to the bay and hanging in the hot tub. We will absolutely return!

Fantastic Stay

The property is exactly what you might hope it would be - extremely clean, private, and the decor is beyond expectations. Beds, linens, towels, lighting - I cannot say enough about this property and the communication. Check in was simple, parking is plentiful, and while we did not rent the lower unit, we certainly will next time when more family members come along with us.

amazing location; comfortable house

Two couples, a kid and a dog had a great stay in a comfortable home. The house is at the end of a quiet street with some extra yard for the dog and very close to a sweet beach. Comfie pillows and blankets but be advised: king-size bed is a bit of a climb!

This property exceeded expectations. Everything was so thoughtfully done. The yard felt like a private park. The beach access was just across the street. The beaches were practically empty. We had a great stay and truly appreciate you sharing your beautiful home with us!

Great house with all the amenities! Quiet street, with huge yard. House is well stocked with everything needed for a family vacation… great kitchens, decks, etc. Close to the beach, short drive back into the town of Lewes. Highly recommended! Richard and his caretaker were responsive when needed. The pictures don’t do it justice… highly understated! As longtime Lewes vacationers we will be back.. great for our dogs as well!

Lovely Lewes Home at the Beach

The house is wonderful for families wanting to spend time together, with a spacious living area and great outdoor decks and private lawn for tranquility. We loved the nautical decorating and the feel of the bayside inside the home in each and every room. The kids loved the ping pong table in the garage, so that was a plus and also the bikes kept them busy! We loved our stay in this fantastic home. All in all it was a wonderful vacation in Historic Lewes.

Great House & Location, just steps from the beach:) LOVED IT!!

The home was terrific for a large family gathering. We had several of our family members meeting at this DE shore house. When we arrived we were very impressed with the home; recently renovated and decorated very tastefully. There are plenty of beds, baths, linens, kitchen supplies, beach chairs, kayaks, etc. The owner and the caretaker were both very helpful and accomodating. We're already planning another visit before long:) We would highly recommend this property!

Group Stay in Lewes

What a great property. We've been vacationing in Lewes for the past 10 years and this is definitely one of, if not the best place we've stayed in. The description of the property is extremely accurate. Make sure you don't bring any beach stuff; this house has everything you need. The layout of the house is great, and the decor was perfect a beach house. We also rented out the bottom apartment for my mother. I couldn't have asked for more, especially since we could bring our dog. You won't find a better place if you want to bring your pet. I hope to stay here again!

Terrific Place

The owner and his assistant were great. Both were friendly, courteous and helpful. The house is terrific. It was well stocked and included many extras for various needs. The house is conveniently located in a super quiet location with deer and turkeys being frequent visitors. My family agreed we would love to stay there again. We all cannot say enough good things about this place. For large groups or multi-generation families, I recommend renting both upstairs and downstairs units.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Smith

Host profile image
We love Lewes. After visiting Rehoboth for many years, we discovered Lewes and have been spending time here for the past 15 years. Its natural beauty and incredible history make it a perfect getaway anytime of the year.

Why they chose this property

The house is a great blend of modern convenience, private location, and access to the beautiful beaches.

What makes this property unique

Nice size for families, with unique floor plan including separate living and family rooms allowing separated social groupings, movies, etc.
The vast outdoor space is an incredible benefit and very unusual in a location so close to the beach!

Add the downstairs unit with separate kitchen and bath and lovely screened porch for additional capacity and flexibility (downstairs sleeps 4).
