Nice place with a few caveats

We had a lovely stay. The house was well stocked and clean. The porch was lovely. The host was very available. Stepdowns between rooms and challenging access to attic bedroom were concerns, particularly for an older member of our party.

Great location!

The only thing different was the new sofa, which we greatly appreciated! We even used it as a “crate” area for our dog. She even had a great time! I recommend this house!

Felling like home.

The rental place is great. One does not feel like rental but like home. Very good price for a week. There is a lot of everything. Everything very comfortable. Clean. Great outdoors. Great games for kids, great pieces for adults to play. But I do not want to praise too much, because I would like to go there again and do not want to pay too much. Beach just 10 steps away, and not too crowded.

Beach house

We had a great time! The house is just steps away from the beach. Spent quite a bit of time on the screen porch. We actually had a warm beach day in April which was a nice surprise. Communication with the owner was great, very responsive. Would definitely consider staying again.

Perfect Beach Getaway

Spent an extended stay here with my dog and partner/friends in and out. It is ideal for waking up, rolling out of bed, and walking the maybe three hundred feet to the beach. It's also a fifteen/twenty minute walk to downtown Lewes, which has incredible food (some of the best I've ever had in a beach town). Any groceries you'll have to travel a bit farther so stock up. The house is old fashioned, which is part of its charm, but has plenty of space. The screen-enclosed lanai was a huge part of our enjoyment--would sit out back there with the dog for hours. John, the owner, was incredibly helpful and responsive. We look forward to coming back!

Lewes lounging

Although the weather was quite dicey during our visit, we felt warm and snug in John’s home. The large living room was a great place to snuggle with our pup, read, and watch movies. The location of the house made it so as the weather cleared, we could quickly and easily access the beautiful beach. It was also a quick drive to Cape Henlopen - a place we love.If you are looking for a gentle escape from the world, John’s space is a great choice.

Cute vintage beach house. Hard to beat proximity to the beach. Exceptionally responsive owner. Love the more quiet Lewes compared to Rehoboth. My family and I very much enjoyed our stay.

Great location

This was our 2nd time at Lewes Beach. We loved the location- literally STEPS from the beach. Our dogs loved going in the morning and after 630pm when dogs were allowed. Lots of fun games and activities at the house such as board games and floaties. We used the kayak at the beach too. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper, beach chairs, bikes etc. The house is a bit older but we already knew that and chose the house because of the location. We were able to walk to town a few times for King's ice cream and drive to the outlets for shopping. There was a bit of an issue with the AC but the fans were great and John was very communicative and had it fixed right away.

Nice, well-provisioned home

We loved our visit to this sweet house half a block from the beach on the Delaware Bay. Easy walking distance to downtown Lewes. The three bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked as the house continues to be a vacation home for the family that owns it. It has a nice large living room and screened porch as well as a good-sized dining room. We would definitely rent here again. It was also very quiet.

Real deal beach house

Great house, excellent location, engaged host. We were traveling with young children and appreciated how the common area was away from bedrooms so that we didn’t have to tiptoe around at night. Also great outdoor space. If you want to feel at home at the beach, this is the place!

Perfect beach spot to relax

This is the perfect location for a slow-paced beach retreat. The entrance to the beach is less than 2 minutes away on foot, and the property had all the essentials needed (umbrella, chairs, extra towels). The sun was a bit ruthless the week we stayed, so it was great to be able to hit the beach early and late in the day, and explore Lewes and some of the Rehoboth attractions mid-day. Jungle Jim's was a nice contrast to swimming in the bay one day. The house was spacious & airy, with good central AC and interior shutters/shades to keep it cool in the day. Screened in porch & a pergola covered with Wisteria made some nice shady spots and our kiddo loved the hammock chair. Outdoor shower was lovely to get all the sand off after the beach. And the huge living room was great for games (many at the house) and Legos (brought from home). Location is very quiet, but walkable to a few shops, and there are lots of bike paths around the town. Very short drive (4 mins) to downtown Lewes, and only slightly longer to the bigger stores and attractions along the main routes (10 mins, more depending on traffic). We loved it here and the host was easily reached with questions via text. He also had lots of great recommendations for food and fun activities for kids. We can't wait to come back!
