Home was nicely furnished and clean. It was a little tight in the kitchen area and bathroom for three adults . The outside area was a bit unkept. We had no issues, therefore did not need to communicate with the host.

We had a wonderful stay within walking distance of downtown Lewes. We regularly walked the few blocks to take advantage of the shops and excellent restaurants in town. The beach itself was just a short drive away. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas that were made available with the rental. We did encounter a minor issue with the washer/dryer unit during our stay, but the host was very responsive and resolved the issue the same day. Great customer service - thank you!

The property is not well maintained and not clean. The screen door had holes at the handle and bottom. The trash can is a wicker basket with an open lid that attracts gnats through the holes in the screen. The screen door is diffucult to open and close. The outdoor shower is dirty. The walls in the kitchen and bedrooms were dirty. The silverware is lacking with all but a few of the forks being childrens size. The house itself is cute and otherwise comfortable. A little more effort on maintenance and cleanliness would go a long way.

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!

A Great Rental Home in a Friendly Town

This was our first trip to Delaware and we couldn’t have stayed in a better rental for our weeklong vacation. The home was quiet and comfortable and we loved being able to walk (or bike) to so many places including the beach, village shops, and parks. Between the Saturday Farmers’ Market and Lloyd’s little, very well-stocked, grocery store (both within walking distance) we were able to get all the food we needed for our stay. Lastly, we found Lewes to be a very friendly town that we’ll definitely want to come back to.

Clean, well-supplied, great location. It is located just outside the busy center of Lewes. It’s quiet and restful but conveniently close to restaurants and the beach. Dishes, lots of towels, linens, soaps, etc. were all available. My only minor complaint is a weak WIFI signal. It didn’t interfere with our enjoyment of our vacation.

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

Thanks for your great rating Sharon. My husband found the cause of the Netflix problem you encountered - the network interface on the Blu-ray player failed. So we replaced the player next day and all is well. Best regards, Charlene

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Aug, 2023
Karleen - Thank you for your review. Regarding the odors you mentioned, we do have a small plastic bag with a hand full of mothballs on the floor of the utility closet that is located outside of the house on the patio. These are intended to keep critters from entering the house. The reptiles are not a major concern especially during the summer and we will consider using an alternate repellant. Regarding the smell of cigarette smoke you reported, I am at a loss to explain it. We have a strict No Smoking policy and have never permitted smoking at the property in the ten years we have owned it. Thanks for bringing these issues to our attention and best regards.

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 :)

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!
