Great property !
We had a great stay! The room as well as the grounds were beautiful and clean! I enjoyed the free starbucks coffee in the morning and they have a little 24 hour convenience store in the building. We wished the weather was warmer so we could have used the hot tub but I did use the Sauna which was great! We definitely will be back during warmer weather!

Great stay at Mar Bella
Go ahead and book, you won’t be disappointed. The owners have thought of every detail to make your stay a pleasant experience. As a long time “former” resident of Lewes, it is nice to reserve accommodations that bring you home, have everything you need at an affordable price. Thanks, Mar Bella for a great stay.

Great!
The hotel was great! Very cozy and welcoming! We were there in February so we were the only ones here but we would love to come back in the summer! I had a family emergency and ended up having to leave a day early and David was so understanding about it! We asked David to help us open the hotel tub and he was there in less then 10 minutes, and was very responsive in general!

Another amazing stay
This was our 3rd stay at Mar Bella and, as usual, it did not disappoint! Each stay is a different experience because each room is different. They’re all so beautiful, I don’t know if I could pick my favorite! The hot tub and fire pit were perfect for the chilly fall evenings and the amazing massage from Tiffany at Mar Bella Spa was the cherry on top of this perfect weekend. I give this trip an A++++++!

Staying here is very peaceful.
We had our second visit staying here and just like last year, everything was great. Our room was pristine. Everything is very clean and decorated perfectly. This time it was only a one night’s stay but looking forward to coming back later this year for a relaxing getaway. Thank you, Vana and David, for creating this place.

Eastern shore long weekend
Mar Bella was a very comfortable and quiet stay for a long, fall weekend that we had planned to explore the eastern shore of Delaware. It was centrally located for visiting local vineyards and wineries as well as breweries. Driving a short time west, we were able to drive scenic byways and walk historic towns. Our hosts were attentive and the property was immaculately clean.

Perfect Stay!
I stayed at Mar Bella in December the night before the Rehoboth Marathon. The Blue Heron room was spacious and well appointed. The hot tub was a delight. My only regret is not staying another night after the race to use the hot tub (again), and give the sauna a whirl. The place was great and I imagine in the summer it would be nice to sit outside the room and enjoy a coffee in the morning. Excellent place to stay!

A remarkable experience at Mar Bella
Having decided at the last minute to break up our trip from Cape Cod via Cape May with a stay in the Lewes Rehoboth area we were lucky to find this hidden gem of a place. A little slice of the West Indies in Delaware!
The Blue Heron room immediately imbued us with a tranquility that really hit the spot after a long trip. Marvelous laid back decor with every detail attended to from ample and tasteful lighting to comfortable and stylish furniture.
Nothing was overlooked to make it the perfect stay.
5 out of 5 stars. We’ll be back!

Mini couple vacation
My wife and I decided to book a mini vacation and while searching for a place to stay we stumbled upon this hidden gem. We weren't sure what to expect but when we got there we were pleasantly surprised at how nice this place in. It was perfect for us close enough to stores, beaches and restaurants but yet far enough from the busy hustle and bustle. It was exactly what we were looking for. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, the hosts were super friendly and great at communicating. The amenities were nice, we enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit at night before bed, the pool was nice and clean. Im glad we found this place and we are already planning on going back very soon.

Perfect for our night away
My husband and I stayed in the Blue Heron room for a relaxing and romantic night away from the children. The hotel was perfect for this. The room was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We took advantage of the sauna and hot tub. The patio is really cute and the hot tub area was perfect; we visited in the winter and a hot tub in the cold is one of my favorite things!
David was very responsive and accommodating. We also loved the stocked coffee bar.
