Great house in a great location!

We were a group of 2 couples and we had a very comfortable stay in this adorable beach cottage. It was the perfect price and just enough space.

A Great Choice in Lewes

Clean and well-equipped. In a beautiful neighborhood walking distance from Front Street. Very convenient for visiting Cape Henlopen State Park. Might be a little small for a family of 4 but perfect for us 2. This is the second time we have stayed there!

Great stay walking distance to historic Lewes

The house was small, but was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young children). We spent most of our time on the beach (convenient drive to both Lewes Public Beach and Savannah Beach), so having an outdoor shower in the backyard to rinse off the sand at the end of the day was great. Walking into town took a bit more time with 2 small children, but even so it would take us no more than 10 min - essential for ice cream/coffee breaks! Also, walking distance to two great playgrounds (Lewes CanalFront Park and another closer to the house at the George HP Smith Memorial Park). We had a great time :)

Great location, older cottage

This little cottage is dated and smells like moth balls. On two days of our stay, we came home after the beach to the cottage smelling like cigarette smoke. It does air our quickly if you open the windows and back door. The location is great - on a quiet street in the historic Lewes village. Safe and comfortable. I e rode our bikes to the bay with our kids and could walk to the village.

Quiet and comfy for 2

This petite cottage had a very quiet location, but an easy stroll or bike ride into town (a few blocks). Clean and well equipped kitchen and comfy bed. It sleeps four, but is a good fit for two. We enjoyed sitting in the back yard patio (watching hawks fly overhead). You may want to bring beach chairs to use, but there was a nice beach umbrella. We love Cape Henlopen's bike trails and deep beach on the ocean side. And restaurant Striper Bites was great once again. So much better an experience than a hotel room, and a better bargain.

Well kept perfectly sized home for my 10 yo son and I.

Mike and Charlene took the time to assist with TV connection issues. Ultimately my son and I said we don't need it anyway the weather was gorgeous. I would recommend this property!

Perfect beach house

Cute, comfortable, homey beach house. The house was very well-equipped with plenty of sheets, towels, dishes, plates etc. Having a dishwasher and washer/dryer in the home was a huge plus. Excellent location in-town in Lewes. An easy 15 minute walk to shops and restaurants around 2nd Street. And a very easy drive to beaches and Cape Henlopen. Owners are wonderful! We accidentally left an item outside when packing the car and leaving and the cleaners called the owners and the owners called us immediately. Would definitely stay again when visiting Lewes.

Perfect weekend getaway

We were here for a lacrosse tournament and this was a great value for the money, much better than a hotel for the same price. The house is cozy with all amenities and conveniences of home. We were able to walk to the Farmer's market, playground, and Second St. shops. Very quiet street! While there, the air conditioning gave out and the owner immediately purchased a unit while waiting for repairs. Charlene is terrific - thank you, super service! We will be back next year!

Excellent Condo in Lewes

First off we would stay here again.The condo is walking distance to downtown Lewes. We brought bikes and its literally 5 mins and 10 mins to the beach. I would recommend traveling around town by bike and parking can be a bit tough. The neighborhood is perfect and quiet - but Lewes is pretty quiet. Little traffic near the condo. The house has all the plates, dishes, cups you would need and there is an outdoor showers. Linens were ready for us and the place was very clean. Really can't say enough about how much we all enjoyed staying here. It was a great size for two adults and two kids.

Little oasis

We booked this property for a long get away weekend. We never visited Lewes before so weren't sure what to expect. The VRBO is perfect for a weekend for a couple or family with up to 2 young children. The space is small but efficient and clean. Perfect for a couple looking to explore the area. Town was a short walk. The biking trails in this area are outstanding and the Cape Henlopen State Park is a treasure. We had so much fun getting away from it all with bike rides each day and visits to nearby establishments for tasting of spirits, wine and, most famously, Dogfish Head beer. Lots of fun. Highly recommend this property

Cozy, quiet, central!

Spent a great week in Lewes at end of summer. Perfect for a low key couple’s getaway It was a quick last minute booking so there was some confusion about getting the key code but owner was quick to respond. (Key entry info comes into email box looking like a lot of other VRBO promotional emails so that could be improved). Very quiet, safe area near downtow…great walking and biking into throughout the week to shop, dine. Kitchen could benefit from an upgrade and more amenities and supplies (just 2 dishwasher tabs left for the entire week.) Not fancy, but clean and adequate. Location can’t be beat if you’re looking for a walkable, bikeable quiet location in Lewes.

First stay in Lewes!

We had a great time in Lewes as a family with 2 kids 6 and 9. So many activities kept us busy and loved every single restaurant we went to. The property was just what we needed to take breaks from our adventures and rest up for the next day. The outdoor shower was easy and efficient for the kids and having linens provided made our stay super easy! Thanks for sharing your property with us!
