Better than home!

The house was really great and they had top of the line appliances. They had all the utensils you need and then some. The beach is minutes away and the outdoor shower was a great way to clean off my grandsons. We enjoyed the beautiful backyard with the koi pond. In the morning, we sat on the wrap around porch and drank our coffee. Great experience and a wonderful vacation.

Girls getaway

My sister and I and 3 friends rented this property for a long weekend. The house was perfectly located within a short walk to downtown Lewes. It was immaculate, charming and extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds were high quality, and we were thrilled with it in every way. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Historic Home Close to Downtown

Beautiful property! Fenced-in, private back yard patio with waterfall fish pond. Lovely home with cozy decor. Owner has thought of everything down to a first aid cabinet. We enjoyed many hours on the wrap around front porch and though it is on a main road the traffic noise did not bother us. Easy walk to downtown area. We would stay here again!

Lovely, comfortable home in a great Lewes spot

Charming house conveniently located near town and the bike trail, as well as 1 mile walk to bay beach. Walked to farmers market, outdoor concert, and antique show in town. House was well appointed with kitchen utensils, books, videos, and extremely comfortable beds. Decor and furniture very attractive. Cute backyard with grill and outdoor shower. Park on street with no trouble. On a main road, but pretty quiet in the evening, so no trouble with noise.

We fell in love with this home

We paid both vrob and gallo reality to book this property Neither would refund us for booking fees paid twice Wish we could rent directly through owner because we lived the home. Picking up keys and stopping to drop the off was an added annoyance . I have always used a lock box at other rentals

Clean, well maintained beautiful home walking distance to shops and restaurants.

This was our first trip to the beach with our 20 month old daughter. The house and it’s location were perfect for us. It was unseasonably hot weather but the house remained comfortably cool with central air.

Charming house close to everything

We had a lovely stay in this home in the heart of the historic district of Lewes, about a mile from the municipal beach. Easy drive to the water or the state park, easy walk to town. The house is spacious but feels cozy, the outdoor shower and backyard are wonderful, and the large porch provides lots of seating for enjoying a beverage and watching cars go by. This home worked very well for four adults and two children for a week. We'd definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and clean house situated near central Lewes.

Recommend this house as it comfortably accommodates 4-8 guests. Kitchen is well supplied with cooking essentials; dining room is adjacent. While we rented in the winter, anyone staying in the summer months would also have access to a nice fenced patio for outdoor eating and entertaining.

Spacious, quaint, peaceful, walk to shops/dinner

Spacious house with room for everyone to relax and spread out. Porch gives additional space for peaceful privacy both out front and in the backyard. Love the outdoor shower and pond. Rooms have ample space for clothes to be put away. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. We rented bikes and rode to the beach each day and once to the State Park. Neighbors were friendly and lots of street parking right outside of the house. Kid friendly and large dining table to seat 8-10 along with the kitchen bar for additional seating. Nice beach and antique decor that felt like home. We will definitely try to rent this space again.

What a beautiful wrap around porch to welcome you home from a day on the beach or a walk around the quaint town. Our family LOVED the outdoor shower and garden. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds and linens are great quality and the home feels like a page out of pottery barn beach. We will definitely return to this beautiful HOME!

This property is a charming old school villa at the seaside, furnished with taste, well equipped, with several bedrooms, a nice garden with bbq, located near the beach and port to cross to New Jersey. Fantastic running and biking nearby at the Cape Henlopen State Park. Cosy restaurants in town at a walking distance. We loved staying at this holiday haven with my family. Highly recommended!

Wonderful family vacation home

We have enjoyed staying in this lovely home several times while vacationing in Lewes. Perfect for a family vacation! It had everything we needed, was clean, well-maintained, and there was enough space for everyone to spread out . This house has wonderful decorations and makes you feel very much at home. The location is perfect too....only a few blocks from downtown Lewes. We biked, walked and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We can't wait to plan our next visit!
