The house was larger than the photos suggested, it was very well stocked, and worked well for us. The owner checked in with us, which was nice, and we enjoyed hearing that the house had been in the family for a long time. The location was really perfect - a short walk to the beach, yet close to town and other attractions.

The house gave each of us privacy at night and an outdoor gas grill for a special dinner. The master bedroom was perfect for my 91 year old mother! Both family rooms have comfortable couches. Relaxing after fun days was easy! The area is beautiful with wonderful walks. We spent an afternoon in Rehoboth and the rest of the time in Lewes and Henlopen State Park. We had a great time. Thank you!

We had such a fantastic stay at this beach house! The location is absolutely perfect — just one block from the beach, which made it super easy to walk back and forth throughout the day. It was so nice not having to worry about parking or lugging beach gear too far.The house itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were wonderful — super helpful, responsive, and made sure we felt right at home. We had such a memorable trip and can’t wait to come back again!

Lovely stay

The host, John, is a great communicator. The house is very well stocked and set up. The beach was so close and we loved the bay and Cape Henlopen State Park. The screened in porch was pretty and relaxing and the outdoor shower was great. This was our first trip to Lewes and we didn’t get to spend time in the town but it looked very charming. We bought wonderful fresh bread and cold cuts and Lloyd’s market. A lovely visit.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
