We loved the location of this home! It had gorgeous views and the community was lovely. We also loved the 2 tables for eating and the variety of spaces to hang out in the home.

Thank you for your feedback! I am so happy you enjoyed the home and location. Hope to host you again! Enjoy the holiday season!
Great location for a relaxing Lewes bay beach vacation.
We had a great time at this beach house. Our whole family was impressed with the lovely property, the awesome views, and its proximity to the beach and Cape Henlopen State Park.
We loved the location. We particularly enjoyed riding bikes in the park and into Lewes. We really enjoyed the pool - went most afternoons between the kids’ nap time and supper time. The beach was good for the 2 year olds although the water was chilly (expected for this time of year).
This was our second trip here. The location with beach access is perfect. The home is cozy and laid out well. We look forward to being repeat guests for years to come. Thanks for opening your home to us!
We had a terrific time. Perfect location at the beach, near town and the state park. Also have access to a swimming pool.

So happy to hear you had a great time! Looking forward to hosting you again next year!
Nice location! Enjoyed the closeness to the bay and the pool too. It's a great combination. The owner was lovely and responded quickly to our few questions.
We loved the house and location. Lucky enough to have good weather and took advantage of the bicycles and beach chairs. We also liked the large dining table we could all get around. Thank you for a fun filled holiday.

Weather wise it was one of the most perfect thanksgiving weekends in a long while. So happy you enjoyed your time in Lewes and my place. Come back!
We had a wonderful time. The house was in the perfect location-right on the bay with calm water and just down the road from the open ocean. Plenty to do in the area. The pool in the neighborhood was beautiful and never overly crowded. We would definitely come back!
Lovely beach side home with beach chairs, umbrellas, spacious rooms, nicely decorated, well supplied kitchen, two refrigerators, good internet, comfortable beds. Hope to return next fall.
The house was perfectly warm and inviting with multiple, different indoor and outdoor seating areas for our large group. Beach and pier access just steps away made this spring weekend not too far from home feel like a special, relaxing, gem of a destination. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy, comfortable weekend on the bay.
The pictures will say it all, nice house and great location. What sets it apart is the owner's rep, Lee Ann. We had an unexpected beach reclamation project during our stay and Lee Ann went out of her way to make it right. We really appreciated her responsiveness and solution. Had a great visit.
Our group of three families, six kids in tow, spent a week here to kick off summer vacation and had a great time! Upon arrival, the house was clean and kitchen was well stocked. The house is in a great location, with private beach access and we enjoyed having the fishing pier, swimming pool, and state park all within walking distance. There was plenty to do nearby in addition to the beach and our drives into downtown Lewes and the Rehoboth boardwalk were also very fun.
Looks exactly as pictured. The house was extremely well equipped including the kitchen and walk-in pantry. It has beautiful views of the Delaware Bay and amazing sunsets, which you can watch from the outdoor decks. It is right on the beach with a walk path thru fragrant smelling wild flowers and beach grass. We are coming back again next year!!!

Wonderful House in a Great Location on Lewes Beach
We came for a week-long February change of scenery during the pandemic and were not disappointed. Great location on the beach in Cape Shores with beautiful views of the bay, dune access for walks on the beach, close proximity to Cape Henlopen State Park, and the restaurants/shops of Lewes nearby. The house is well equipped and nicely appointed and Lee Ann was a wonderful host. Highly recommend.

Thank you ! I hope you can come back in the Fall. By far the best time at the beach !
The house was exactly as described, except that there are beach chairs and bikes which was a very welcome addition. Lee Ann is the best host I have had at a rental house. She was extremely responsive and helpful .

Wonderful!
What a wonderful place for a Girls' Getaway to celebrate a 50th Birthday. The home is beautifully decorated, has large size rooms and it had everything we needed. Being able to walk right to the beach was fabulous! We spent a lot of time walking and biking at Cape Henlopen Park which was so close. Lee Ann was quick to respond to any question I had regarding our reservation. Everyone was pleased and I would absolutely stay there again!

Thank you Michelle glad you girls had a great time and the weather was sort of good!Love to have you back anytime.
The house was everything we needed. Lots of rooms to spread people around, decks and balconies for access to the outside. We lucked out on good weather (in late March) and ate every meal outside on the screened-in porch. The beds and bathrooms were good too. The house is so close to the park and the beach - we were able to walk on the beach very easily. The kitchen was well-appointed; the coffee maker broke while we were there and a new one showed up just hours after contacting the owner. Great response! We intend to stay here again!

Thank you Denise! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at 500 E Cape Shores in Lewes Beach. We hope to host you again in the future!
Great location on the beach. House was just as advertised. Great view from the family room, where we spent most of our time since the weather was not great. Even though we were not able to see the sunset from the beach or pier due to the clouds, we still took the short walk to both the beach and the pier each night at sunset. We have previously seen the sunset from the beach and pier and it is amazing.
We had an amazing time at the house. The house was just as listed and in the perfect location! It was amazing to be able to walk into the state park everyday and so close to the ferry that we constantly got to see the boats coming and going. The kids loved to see and hear the boats each time they passed. We had a great time and Lee Ann was extremely responsive with any questions that we had during the trip. She was a great host and there were nice touches around the house. The beach felt very private and secluded and the access was great for our littles, super convenient in case we had to run back to the house. I would definitely recommend this house!
