We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our weekend getaway to Lewes. Ideally situated, we were able to walk to the beach and downtown with our two littles in tow! The hosts go above and beyond to accommodate their guests, can’t say enough about their hospitality! 10/10 stay, we will return!

Place was perfect for our family. LittleOutside space was great for coffee in the morning and so private. Kitchen had everything we needed for quick breakfast making or a lunch as we don’t like to eat out for every meal. Beds were comfy. Space was clean. So close to everything, we brought our bikes but could have walked everywhere too! Great spot!

My fiancé and I went here for our anniversary, and we had a wonderful time. The rental was very clean, quiet, and close to the beach as well as restaurants and shops. The hosts left an informative binder with easy to understand instructions on the bike trails, shops, and restaurants nearby. It was a great way to experience Lewes for the first time and not feel super touristy!

The property is modernly renovated and comfy. I enjoyed hopping on the bike trail to the beach. The trail starts at the next block.
The location is a five minute walk or less to Second Street where shops and restaurants are located.
We were in Lewes for lax tournaments at the Frederica fields, but the location of the cute condo helped us enjoy and appreciate the town of Lewes and the beach. The owner sent info on restaurants and other activities (particularly helpful when the weather was poor). The bikes were great for accessing everything and the location was very central!
This is a very comfortable condo. Plenty of space, very clean, comfortable bed and a kitchen equipped with the basics. The owners have to many details (nightlights, carbon monoxide detector, some things for children (pack and play), supply of local coffee, patio table, and 2 bikes.It is walking distance to downtown and the canal.

We needed a place to stay while visiting family for me, my husband and 3-year old daughter. This was perfect. Clean, exactly as pictured, and the patio was a great space to hang outside in the unexpected nice spring weather. It was private with high fences as well! In walking distance of all that the quaint town of Lewes has to offer!

This was a wonderful property. Very clean. Exactly as described. Great communications with the host. Great location - near countless dining options and the charming retail district of Lewes with easy access (walk, bike or drive) to the beach. And the best guide book I've ever seen with a property. Thank you to Mike, Tracy and the kids.

Very clean. Conveniently located. Internet signal did not reach back bedroom. Needed extra blankets. Provided coffee and welcome gift of salt water taffy(nice touch). Also a first aid kit which came in very handy. Well appointed, even included streaming service. Would definitely stay again.

Maribeth, Thank you for the detailed review! We are so glad the first aid kit and salt water taffy added value to your stay. We take pride in being well-appointed, and your feedback is incredibly helpful. We are already looking into a Wi-Fi extender for that back bedroom and will ensure more blankets are readily available for future guests. We're thrilled you’d stay with us again and look forward to your return to Lewes!"
What a gem! We really enjoyed our stay. This place is spotless and they thought of everything. Six minute walk to front street shops is a great help with kids and grandma in tow. Heads up: the laundry is coin operated so bring a roll of quarters. The next time I stay I’ll bring my own sheets ( I think the ones provided are synthetic and were really hot to sleep on) and a fan for the kids room. Otherwise it was just what we were looking for. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful experience staying at this beach retreat! We had no idea that such a place even existed. It's located in the historic Queen Anne Pier building just across the canal bridge on East Savannah Road as you head to Savannah Beach (Beach 1)The condo was exactly as described, super clean, and in a great location. It's a quick 3-minute walk across the canal bridge to town and maybe a half mile walk to the beach. Parking was more plentiful than any place we've stayed in Lewes. Mike the Host was extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful. Highly recommended! Would stay here again in a heartbeat

About the host
Hosted by Mike
Welcome to Lewes (loo-iss) and the beauty of coastal Delaware. Our family enjoys kayaking, paddle boarding, the bike trails, fishing, flying kites, throwing the Frisbee on the beach, sunset cruises, dining at the terrific local restaurants, ice cream shops and enjoying much needed R&R. Lewes provides the perfect seaside retreat for all ages. We are native Delawareans and enjoy sharing our local recommendations with our guests. We look forward to hosting you!
Why they chose this property
Lewes offers a charming downtown with excellent restaurants, shops, boutiques, galleries, parks, & museums. Lewes Beach is a hidden gem with soft sand, beautiful views and tons of wildlife. Better yet, it's all within walking distance of our condo.
Your home base is just a few yards away from the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal. The canal begins at the Roosevelt Inlet where it connects with the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The canal offers excellent fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating. The canal is also home to dockside restaurants with outdoor seating (great for sunsets), marinas, and sport fishing shops. The Lewes Canal Front Park offers tennis/basketball courts, a playground, and a boat ramp to launch kayaks. Yoga in the park is offered on Sundays and free weekly concerts, outdoor movies and events are offered throughout the summer at the park. There are also events in the fall and winter months.
Lewes Beach is less than a half-mile walk or bicycle ride. This beautiful stretch of beach offers views of lighthouses and the Cape May-Lewes ferry boats that come and go throughout the day. The ferry terminal features a dockside bar and grill. There's also a children's play area by the ferry terminal.
Cape Henlopen Seashore State Park is just two miles from the condo. You can bike or drive into the park and enjoy the gorgeous sand dunes, pristine Atlantic Ocean beaches, surfing, a fishing pier, lighthouses, WWII lookout towers, trails and The Seaside Nature Center. We also highly recommend visiting the state park for gorgeous sunrise and sunset viewing from "The Point" (north end of park). Herring Point (south end of the park) is a great beach during the day and beautiful at sunset as well. We see dolphins swimming there frequently.
Bike trails are plentiful and easy to access around town.
