A Quick Note About Reservation Requests
After submitting a Reservation Request, please keep an eye on your email. We will usually respond within a few hours to confirm some information before accepting and finalizing your reservation. Your prompt, same-day reply is appreciated, as Reservation Requests may expire - or be cancelled - if we are unable to complete this step.
Please do not include a phone number or email in your message. VRBO does not make this information visible to either guests or property owners until a Reservation Request has been accepted, and instead they will replace it with "X" symbols.
Once your Reservation Request has been accepted by us, please continue to monitor your email for important information from us.
Now, let us tell you a little bit about The Hula House ...
* * * * * * * * * * *
Enjoy your summer vacation in lovely Lewes! Our historic 1906 house - The Hula House - offers classic architectural character and coastal charm, combined with a tropical ambiance and décor. Situated within prime, barefoot strolling distance (just 2 BLOCKS!) from the beach. Ready to host your family, the roomy 2,300 sq ft house has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths (includes one ensuite), plus outdoor shower with hot/cold, comfortable living room (with a tropical tiki vibe), big kitchen with cozy breakfast table for your morning coffee, separate dining room, internet/Wi-Fi, two televisions, plus nice book library. Original wood floors on first floor with area rugs.
NEW IN 2025/26:
- Luxury vinyl plank flooring entire second floor - Above range built-in microwave oven - Remodel to ensuite first floor bathroom - Luxury vinyl plank flooring in first floor bedroom/bath
Mattresses and box springs are deluxe gel-foam core over individual coils, on high profile frames. Updated windows, storm doors, shutters, privacy fence, outdoor shower and more, plus inside updated living room furnishings, area rugs, ceiling fans, light filtering blinds, and several major appliances.
The Hula House has one of the largest fenced yards on Lewes Beach and actually has TWO yards – a small side fenced yard plus a big rear yard fully enclosed by a 7-foot privacy fence, large deck, picnic table and umbrella, roomy outdoor shower (hot/cold), and a grassy area for sunning or play.
ABSOLUTELY NO ANIMALS OR PETS ARE PERMITTED ON PROPERTY.
The home's front porch is the perfect place for enjoying a lemonade while people-watching (front porch has two picnic tables, ideal for Maryland Blue Crab feasts!). While everyone on vacation wants to enjoy the many dining opportunities in the area, Guests will appreciate the spacious kitchen with electric stove/oven, fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee pod machine and dishwasher.
Great location, with a quick, barefoot walk to the public beach or enjoy a short 5-block stroll towards town and enjoy the restaurants, charter fishing and sight-seeing cruises along the canal. Or, walk to the historic downtown area just across the canal bridge and filled with many small boutiques and restaurants. Bike, or hop in your car, for a 1-mile drive down to the Cape-May-Lewes Ferry (a 90-minute ferry ride each way, and great for dolphin watching and just relaxing), or visit Cape Henlopen State Park and the many programs they offer for kids and adults alike, plus the waves of the Atlantic Ocean at the public beach!
For those Guests who don't want to worry about packing their own towels and linens, we work with an excellent local company that provides everything a vacationer might need - from beach towels and bed linens to bikes and beach chairs. Almost all of our Guests take advantage of this service and have let us know they appreciate the convenience and very reasonable fees, and quality of the linens/towels. Guests just notify us a couple days in advance of arrival if they want to rent linens/towels and we will put them in touch.
We strive to consistently provide our Guests with a comfortable, clean, and enjoyable stay. The Hula House is Hawaiian-tropical-eclectic, clean, relaxed and fun, and is the perfect place for vacationers who hold the Aloha spirit in their soul.
The home is an animal-free zone. Absolutely NO pets/animals are permitted due to a member of our family being on immuno-suppression drugs. We expect those with any animal to respect this guideline, and board their animals or find otther lodging, rather than selfishly ignoring the safety concerns of our family. Substantials fees are charged for any animal brought onto the property (by either the Guest or any person under their supervision) as it is a direct violation of our NO ANIMALS policy ($900 fee per night for any animal brought on property, either inside or outside).
No smoking or vaping inside, or near house open windows or doors.
Guest count is limited to a max of 8 (see listing); no additional persons permitted on property without advance approval from owner. All members of rental party must be disclosed when placing reservation.
Mahalo for considering our home for your Lewes vacation, and we look forward to hosting your group!

About the host
Hosted by Annette Ross
We're a military family, and "retired" young after the end of a successful Army career, whereupon hubby embarked on a second career as public school teacher, deciding to retire from that once Covid upended the teaching environment. While we only get to stay in Lewes a few times a year, it is a part of our hearts and history - camping trips to Cape Henlopen State Park, riding the Cape May-Lewes Ferry service, catching toads under the pine trees, playing "bunny count" games while driving down Cedar Street (with extra points when a fox or deer is spotted!), walking to Kings Ice Cream in town for a late night cone any night of the week. We LOVE Lewes. And so will YOU!
Why they chose this property
The Hula House has only had one owner before ours - it belonged to the family of the respected town Fire Chief, who passed away about 10 years ago. Built in 1907, several generations of his family had lived in the house until our purchase. Now, our family and friends have become an integral part of the home's history, and we intend to keep this lovely example of classic Dutch Colonial Lewes Beach architecture in our family for generations to come! Visit us, and you'll see why we love this grand old home.
What makes this property unique
- Walk barefoot to the beach - Clean, updated, with lovely tropical decor - COMFORTABLE mattresses and loads of pillows - Fantastic privacy with 7-foot fence, non-splintering composite deck, outdoor shower - Location! Location! Location! Some homes in Lewes Beach are located outside of walking distance to the beach, away from the restaurants and ice cream shops. Not ours! We are a block or two away from everything Lewes offers. (One of our daughter's greatest summer pleasures has been to walk to the ice cream shop at the beach on a summer eve, barefoot and in her PJs)
