Lewes offers a charming downtown with excellent restaurants, shops, boutiques, galleries, parks, & museums. Lewes Beach is a hidden gem with soft sand, beautiful views and tons of wildlife. Better yet, it's all within walking distance of our condo.
Your home base is just a few yards away from the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal. The canal begins at the Roosevelt Inlet where it connects with the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The canal offers excellent fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating. The canal is also home to dockside restaurants with outdoor seating (great for sunsets), marinas, and sport fishing shops. The Lewes Canal Front Park offers tennis/basketball courts, a playground, and a boat ramp to launch kayaks. Yoga in the park is offered on Sundays and free weekly concerts, outdoor movies and events are offered throughout the summer at the park. There are also events in the fall and winter months.
Lewes Beach is less than a half-mile walk or bicycle ride. This beautiful stretch of beach offers views of lighthouses and the Cape May-Lewes ferry boats that come and go throughout the day. The ferry terminal features a dockside bar and grill. There's also a children's play area by the ferry terminal.
Cape Henlopen Seashore State Park is just two miles from the condo. You can bike or drive into the park and enjoy the gorgeous sand dunes, pristine Atlantic Ocean beaches, surfing, a fishing pier, lighthouses, WWII lookout towers, trails and The Seaside Nature Center. We also highly recommend visiting the state park for gorgeous sunrise and sunset viewing from "The Point" (north end of park). Herring Point (south end of the park) is a great beach during the day and beautiful at sunset as well. We see dolphins swimming there frequently.
Bike trails are plentiful and easy to access around town.
You can walk or bike just about anywhere in Lewes. The beaches, parks, restaurants, ice cream parlors, coffee shops and shopping are all at your fingertips. Two complimentary cruiser bicycles are provided during your stay to make this even easier. Our favorite feature of the condo is the ability to walk out the front door and immediately begin exploring our charming beach town by foot or bicycle.
Our condo has free resident parking, which is hard to find in Lewes. If you choose to venture a further distance to Milton, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey, Bethany or Fenwick Island, you'll always have an open parking space waiting for you when you return from exploring.
Vehicle charging access. An EV charging station is located directly across the street from our condo next to the Pig & Publican restaurant.
Uber and Lyft services are also available in the area.

Family Beach Vacation
This was a wonderful property. Very clean. Exactly as described. Great communications with the host. Great location - near countless dining options and the charming retail district of Lewes with easy access (walk, bike or drive) to the beach. And the best guide book I've ever seen with a property. Thank you to Mike, Tracy and the kids.

Wonderful beach experience!
We had a wonderful experience staying at this beach retreat! We had no idea that such a place even existed. It's located in the historic Queen Anne Pier building just across the canal bridge on East Savannah Road as you head to Savannah Beach (Beach 1)The condo was exactly as described, super clean, and in a great location. It's a quick 3-minute walk across the canal bridge to town and maybe a half mile walk to the beach. Parking was more plentiful than any place we've stayed in Lewes. Mike the Host was extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful. Highly recommended! Would stay here again in a heartbeat

Great Visit to Lewes!
We needed a place to stay while visiting family for me, my husband and 3-year old daughter. This was perfect. Clean, exactly as pictured, and the patio was a great space to hang outside in the unexpected nice spring weather. It was private with high fences as well! In walking distance of all that the quaint town of Lewes has to offer!

Beautiful condo, great location!
We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our weekend getaway to Lewes. Ideally situated, we were able to walk to the beach and downtown with our two littles in tow! The hosts go above and beyond to accommodate their guests, can’t say enough about their hospitality! 10/10 stay, we will return!

Anniversary Trip
My fiancé and I went here for our anniversary, and we had a wonderful time. The rental was very clean, quiet, and close to the beach as well as restaurants and shops. The hosts left an informative binder with easy to understand instructions on the bike trails, shops, and restaurants nearby. It was a great way to experience Lewes for the first time and not feel super touristy!

Great for beach, town and lax tournament!
We were in Lewes for lax tournaments at the Frederica fields, but the location of the cute condo helped us enjoy and appreciate the town of Lewes and the beach. The owner sent info on restaurants and other activities (particularly helpful when the weather was poor). The bikes were great for accessing everything and the location was very central!

Modern, Cute, Comfy, & Best Location
The property is modernly renovated and comfy. I enjoyed hopping on the bike trail to the beach. The trail starts at the next block.
The location is a five minute walk or less to Second Street where shops and restaurants are located.
