This isn’t a place for someone flying in. You need to bring your own towels and bedding. It also would be nice to have more than one roll of toilet paper in the bathrooms. Otherwise it was quiet place to relax.

I'm sorry you were not happy with the bedding situation but it is in the lease so hopefully you weren't inconvenienced too much. I put it the lease so no one comes unprepared. In the Delaware rental market, it is done this way for all rentals. I do this in order to keep rents down. I hope you were able to enjoy yourselves in spite of the issues.

Sweet Little House

This sweet little house has plenty of space and is perfectly located one block from the beach. It has everything you need to enjoy your holiday but our favorite is the screened in porch. It provides a pleasant place to eat and relax after a day on the beach.

Great family beach trip

The property was as described - cute, comfortable, clean and very well located just a block from the beach. It was perfect for a family with two kids - plenty of room. The house came stocked with all the basics, including some beach chairs and toys, which was great for us as we spent every day running back and forth to the beach. We had a relaxing beach trip and would definitely stay there again.

Great accessibility to the beach. Neighborhood is very quiet. Great area for bike riding. Photos of house are accurate. Kitchen is really well equipped if you are going to be doing any meal prep. Lots of storage throughout the house in cupboards, closets, etc. We did have to supply our own towels and bed linens but Nancy let us know in advance so we were prepared.

The house is located within two minutes easy walk from the beach. One could say it is the best location possible (it is in a cul-de-sac) albeit its front is facing a two-way street with very moderate traffic. There is another mostly pedestrian street between the house and the beach that is perfect for walking with a baby (my grandson was riding his tricycle there). That aspect of the house really makes it special! The pots and pans in the fully equipped kitchen need an update - their surfaces are too scratched - I recommend bringing a pot for pasta and a medium size frying pan from home if you are a foodie. Linen and towels are not provided which is a bit disappointing because all of these items take up space in a car. There is a laundry room with a drier in a utility room. Bedroom window treatments need to be updated - they let in too much light. Remember to bring eyeshades/masks for sleeping!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jul, 2026
Thank you for your recomendations. I will look into the pot and pans. Linens and towels are not usually provided. This helps to keep the rental rates lower. I will also check on the bedroom window treatment. They have blinds but I will look into putting up some curtains. Other than those things I hope you enjoyed your stay.

Great location, comfortable house

I couldn’t ask for a better location- walkable to town and 1 block from the beach. The house is clean and comfortable. This was my second trip at this rental and both times the cleaning service had not cleaned the house before check in. Other than that, we had a great time and will definitely come back!

I am glad you enjoyed your stay and I'm sorry about the cleaning service. Sometimes, for reasons beyond their control, they are late. I hope it helped a little that I sent you a reimbursement for your inconvenience and that you will return again sometime.

Wonderful house and location

We enjoyed our week so much that we arranged with owner for an additional night. Within minutes from leaving the screened-in porch our toes nestled in the sand as we took in the sight and salty air of the bay. A tucked away biking/waking trail is also accessible within a minute. We biked to Lloyd's Market for groceries and downtown Lewes for restaurants and pickle ball. We hope to return in the future.

Wonderful Location in Lewes

This is a great rental. It is spacious, clean, and well-appointed for those who enjoy doing some cooking. It's nice to be able to walk across the street to access the bay and not have to drive. But then again, it's only a short drive to the ocean at Cape Henelopen St. Park. The temps were in the upper 90's during our stay and the air conditioning worked perfectly through it all. The owner, Nancy, was prompt with replies to my questions. We will definitely return! Janice Keim

Great home base for family beach-centered vacation

We got there early and Nancy (the owner) called to send the cleaning crew ahead of schedule so we could check in early. The house is great. A short walk across cedar street to the beach. Spacious rooms, the open kitchen/living room layout made it easy to watch our little ones while cooking meals in the well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and a good size. There's even an outdoor shower (with hot and cold) so you can wash off sand before entering. The location is convenient to Lewes restaurants and a short drive to rehobeth beach for bigger waves and/or fun on the boardwalk. We really couldn't find anything to complain about.

Great beach house

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was perfect for a family with 2 children. Nice short walk to the beach. I really liked having a master bathroom attached to the bedroom versus having to share with the kids. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with equipment and the living room was a comfortable space. No problems with the internet or TV. We appreciated having access to games and some beach supplies such as boogie boards. The screened in porch was great and the outdoor shower was very helpful to minimize sand. My only complaint is that the outdoor shower didn't have any walls so we weren't able to fully rinse off and get cleaned up before entering the house. Otherwise everything was great. I would definitely recommend this property to other families.

Fantastic beach house

This Lewes house was only a block and a half from public access to the bay. Even on weekends, it was easy to find a spot upon which to set your blanket and chairs. The gentle waves made it a safe setting for children. The house itself was extremely clean, and with a bathroom for each bedroom, very convenient. Little things like plenty of cabinet and closet space in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a large supply of hangers, appealed to me and set it apart from other rentals I have experienced. I also took advantage of the screened in porch daily for morning coffee, although it could have benefited from an overhead fan during hot days. The kitchen was super-well equipped with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and small appliances. Although the sleeper sofa allows for up to 6 residents, I think that may have felt like a tight squeeze. ( Of course, at the beach most of your time is spent outdoors.) Overall, we were extremely happy with this rental and hope to visit again.
