Great house, great location

The home is as beautifully appointed as the description reads — and it feels much bigger than the photos! We stayed here with 6 adults, a toddler, and a baby and the bedrooms on three separate floors allowed everyone their own space. Plus, you can’t beat the location of this place — a few doors down from the pool, a quick walk to the bay, a 2 minute drive to Cape Henlopen beaches, and a 5 minute drive into town. Highly recommend!

Wonderful house for family vacation.

Lovely, comfortable house loaded with amenities. Steps to the community pool, and Cape Henlopen State Park, plus the beach and fishing pier. Charming nearby downtown Lewes is minutes by car or bike. The toddler loved the Pirate Ship cruise in Lewes, especially aiming water cannons at the “bad” pirate.

Great family trip

The home is beautiful, and has everything needed for a fun family gathering. The kitchen is stocked with cooking necessities, and the house supplies games, bikes, and access to the pool or the bay. The host was accessible for questions, and very helpful. The town is quaint, and the shops offered quality products at affordable prices. All around wonderful place to visit with a large group.

Exceptional Family Stay at Lewes Beach

My family and I enjoyed every minute of our trip to Vitamin Sea. Erin is a wonderful host. The house is a very short walk to the excellent community pool, the gorgeous bayside beach with shallow water and gentle waves that are perfect for young kids, and the community's fishing pier. The entrance to Cape Henlopen State Park is around the corner, which offers great day trips to bay and ocean beaches, bike trails, hiking trails, and more. Every aspect of the house aligned with the description and exceeded our expectations. We look forward to coming back next year!

Our Lewes "home"

We are two seniors, four young adults and a six year old, and this house suits us perfectly. I love breakfast on the screened porch overlooking the pond. The "kids" love the easy access to the pool across the street, and we all spend time at both bay and beach. The Vitamin Sea kitchen is so well equipped and nicely organized, it's a pleasure to cook. With bikes and beach chairs, plus linens provided, it's a vacation dream. Five stars all around!

Weekend Stay

The house was great, in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to the bayside and state park for beach access, had everything we could have ever needed in the kitchen and was great for family gatherings. Loved the bikes and not having to bring our own beach chairs! Lv Only downside was that the cleaners were still in the house for about 30 minutes after our check in time due to a hiccup with the laundry. They were very kind about it, worked diligently but didn’t cut any corners, and we were able to enjoy the outdoor space while we waited.

About the host

Hosted by Erin M.

We live in Annapolis, Maryland, with our two boys but love escaping to Lewes, DE. We love curating what we like in a rental home—clean, comfortable and convenient.

Why they chose this property

The Cape Shores community offers a private beach, pool, fishing pier, and tennis courts. The quiet of Lewes Bay is perfect for relaxing, and the ocean is right around the corner if you want more surf.

What makes this property unique

We love the open concept, spread-out bedrooms, and natural light. The back of the house overlooks the pond, which offers year-round serenity. The rental is our second home—we take great pride in the furnishings and cleaning of the home. The home is rented from May to October, giving it the rest of the year to rest and reset.

We are committed to a top-notch experience.
