Kick-Off to Summer
This house is an excellent location - 1.5 blocks to the beach and about 10 min walk to town (very safe). The house was great for our two families with young children. The wrap around porch was used whenever we were home and the playroom attic was a hit!
The kitchen has everything needed for cooking family meals and the house is in decent shape - really all you need for a beach house. Our only qualm was the beds. The mattresses are quite old and could use an upgrade. One in particular made a lot of noise, even for two kids using it. Other than that, we had a really great vacation and would come again!

Great Location, Cool home!
Very cool historic home with updated spacious kitchen. Our party was two families - four adults and four children between 5 and 8. Kids' playroom was a big hit. Location couldn't be better. A very short walk to the beach, and very walkable to downtown to the shops and restaurants in Lewes. We rented bikes nearby for the week that delivered to the house, and our family got a big kick from riding on all of the great trails in the area, including Henlopen State Park. The beach in Lewes is a bay beach, so very calm, even boring, waters. If you want ocean waves, going to the state park is right there. Overall, an amazing week!

Interesting old property
It was great to stay in a quirky house that was over 100 years old yet fully modernised. Loved the extensive covered porches and proximity to the beach and town.

Perfect location in Lewes
Our extended family had an amazing beach week in Lewes, and this rental was a huge part of that. Walkable/ bikeable to everything Lewes has to offer. We also loved the history of the home and the wrap around porch makes this property really stand out. My only complaint is that the beds are in need of a serious upgrade, otherwise a perfect and serene beach getaway!
