Wonderful Weekend at the Pink Lady!
We had a great stay at the Pink Lady; the house was in the perfect location for walking into town, the farmers market and even the beach. It was very spacious and the kids loved the fenced in backyard and all of the puzzles and games. Parking was very easy and the house was incredibly well stocked with supplies. Host was very communicative, would stay here again!

Family gathering
Our stay at the Pink Lady couldn't have been nicer. The family (8 adults and 2 teens) were gathered for my father's memorial service. We all fit comfortably in the house. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and find a quiet space or come together for games, meals and conversation. The kitchen was well stocked for everything we needed for meals. The children enjoyed the bikes and the proximity to town and the beach. We would love to come again under happier circumstances to explore the area and relax at this property.

What a great spot!
We came with family and friends for a week in Lewes. Our stay at the Pink Lady house was amazing. It is a delightful, spacious, well-supplied house that everyone enjoyed. Communication with the property owner/manager was quick and easy. The house bikes were in good condition, the beach chairs were great, and there were plenty of house beach towels for everyone! The basics in the kitchen (oil, salt, spices, sugar) made for easy cooking when we wanted. We didn’t have to worry about linens—all supplied—so logistically it was also uncomplicated. Overall, staying at this house made it easy to have a fantastic beach week for family!

Slice of summer heaven
Everything about our stay was top notch. Beautiful, well-appointed home centrally located to town and the bay. We loved everything about our stay from morning coffee on the wrap-around porch to the cozy TV room and elegant dining room for pasta dinner with extended family who live in nearby Dewey. Loved the quaint little town as well. Great restaurants! House and gardens are gorgeous! Thank you!

Couldn’t be better
Just fabulous, as we noted in the registry book by the front door! Kitchen was loaded for all kinds of cooking and meals. We easily served 12 at the dining room table and another night 15 scattered around the sunroom and outdoors. Bedrooms were perfect. Having new fenced in yard was great for having kids there.
Plenty of parking, shed was loaded with beach toys and bikes. Easy to walk into town to the shops and restaurants or walk to the canal, or even to the beach. Or we could drive to the beach or ride bikes there same with going to Henlopen SP, which was loaded with things to do. My nephews loved the disc golf there, we loved the small waves with the boogie boards, Others liked the bike trails.
I could say more, but will stop by noting this was all very reasonably priced. Thx!

We had a four night stay, ranging in ages from 16 to 87 and the house was spacious and provided us with everything we needed to create an extremely memorable family celebration.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, we left you a bottle of wine! Can’t wait to stay in your home again. Cheers!

Great house and great location
We were a group of four women who like to play bridge and shop and eat! We sometimes stay in hotels, but we wanted to each have separate bedrooms and this house has four bedrooms. It was a very pleasant surprise that the house not only had four bedrooms, but was spic and span clean And had anything we needed. It’s two blocks from LEWES shopping area and less than a mile to the beach. Their shed had chairs umbrellas, beach toys and bikes. Everything you would need for a family trip to the beach. We had good luck in that the weekend was in the 70s to 80 the last week in October. So had a great two days at the beach. Definitely would come again.Owner/manager responded to our questions immediately.

Incredible stay at the Pink Lady for a long weekend, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Just a short drive away from beach access at cape Henelopen state park. Also very walkable to downtown Lewes.
The home literally had everything you could need. All cooking supplies both inside and out (grill and grill utensils). Incredibly clean and parking for 3 cars on property was a plus! Plenary of room for a family of 8.

Very pleasant stay in Lewes
The house itself is in great shape, and the furnishings are much more substantial than we've often found in rental properties. The shed contained a lot of beach equipment--umbrellas and boogie boards, along with a wheeled basket for hauling them. It also had a bunch of bicycles.
Lewes itself is charming, and Cape Henlopen state park is a gem. In August, there was a lot of first-rate local produce available.

Love Lewes, nice home close to everything
This is a spacious home, lots of character, well-maintained and updated. The walk to town is easy and to bay beach is doable, very close to ocean beach by car, or bike maybe if you don’t mind the heat and travel light. Pretty yard but patio table was too small for our family and it was a heatwave so we enjoyed dinners in the all-season room. It is a busier street in front but side street is quiet with ample parking.

Great house for 3 generation family vacation!
This was our first time renting in Lewes after many years of summer vacations in Rehoboth. The house is lovely and allowed us to have 10 people stay together comfortably without feeling crowded.
Some of us brought our own bikes and some used the bikes in the shed (was great that there are an assortment to choose from). We biked to the beach, to Rehoboth (on the junction breakwater trail), and took our bikes on the ferry to Cape May.
If you have people stay on the sofa in the family room (my 13 year old and her friend did), be aware that the first floor bathroom is inside the bedroom with twin beds and not directly accessible.
Kitchen was well stocked and we enjoy having meals at the house.
The house is close to town and it’s easy to walk or bike or drive in.
Overall we really enjoyed the “pink lady!”

Nice house close to historic Lewes!
Our stay at the Pink Lady was a family reunion with our adult children and their friends. The house was clean and all of the bedrooms and bathrooms were of ample size. There are 4 bedrooms with one of the bedrooms on the first floor which is perfect for guests who wish not to climb stairs. The house was furnished with all of the amenities as outlined in the listing (i.e. - plates, silverware, paper product, beach chairs, etc). We often walked to Lewes town center to enjoy the local restaurants and shops. Our visit was during the July 4th week so we were able to enjoy the local fireworks from Lewes and also watched the July 4th Do-Dah Parade from the large front porch of the house. Lewes Beach is a little bit of a hike (a little less than a mile) so taking a car to the beach was our mode of transportation. Beach parking was not an issue for us. We did run into one issue. The internet was down when we first arrived. Chris was responsive in trying to get the internet fixed over the July 4th weekend however, we were without internet for 2 days and the cell service was spotty when you are in the house. Overall we enjoyed our family reunion at the Pink Lady.
