Great location and A LOT of space

This is a beautiful home located within walkable distance to downtown Lewes. It was perfect for our family of five (kids 2-7 years old) and my 80 year old mom. My mom was able to stay comfortably in the first floor bedroom so she didn’t need to go up and down the stairs. Overall the house was clean and well stocked with supplies. I made an error in not renting linens so we didn’t have any towels, sheets etc. The host was quick to respond to my messages and tried to help me get the linens we needed. The area the house is located in was friendly and safe. There was a lot of nice outdoor areas as well. We didn’t bring our dog but if we had it would have been a very easy dog friendly experience. We would love to stay here again.

Best location for center of town and dogs

The property was located just a few blocks from the center of Lewes, making it a short walk to restaurants, shops, and cultural highlights. At the end of the block is a beautiful dog-friendly park with a small loop path (about 1/2 mile).The property itself has full bathrooms on both floors, a spacious and well-equipped kitchen, 2nd floor washer/dryer, great WiFi, a fenced backyard with patio furniture, 2 second floor balconies, several smart TVs, a fireplace, and off street parking.Easily the best vacation rental I’ve ever booked. Thanks!

Really central location, perfect for dogs.

We stayed here for a family gathering and really enjoyed the stay. Katharene is a very responsive host. The location is so central and you can easily walk to the downtown shops. We had our dogs and the park right at the end of the street was perfect for morning walks.

Fall Lewes 2024

The location was great for walking to town and the local park. The house was roomy, comfortable and furnished nicely. The only drawbacks were the refrigerator ice maker did not work and the coffeemaker was missing the necessary basket required to make a pot. We were forced to go to Walmart to purchase a coffeemaker.

Lewes vacation house

The house was a lot larger than the pictures let on. Very spacious with high ceilings, and a beautiful kitchen. It’s a walkable neighborhood, only half a block from a large park where we could walk the dog. Easy access to Cape Henlopen State Park and the bike trail is only a few blocks away. Since we were all adults, the children’s bunk beds didn’t work very well for us. The tile shower stalls are pretty and large, but there’s nothing to put your things on or hold onto. Overall we had a good time at the house.

Perfect Family Getaway

We come to Lewes each year and choose a different home to stay in while we visit. This is the first home where I stopped and said, I want to come back to this one AGAIN! It was perfectly appointed, had everything we needed, and I loved how much space we had for everyone to spread out. I can’t wait to come back again!

Beautiful home in a great location

This home a fantastic retreat. The double porches are wonderful, the fenced in back yard is terrific for outside dinner and plenty of room for our dog, the furniture esp the beds are incredibly comfortable and there is every amenity you could want. It is also a fabulous location where you can walk to town, walk to the Farmer's Market, and bike to the bay or Cape Henlopen. One of the best houses we've visited in our 15 years in Lewes!

Fun fall getaway in Lewes

What a lovely house! My daughter, her husband and two little boys joined me for 5 days in Lewes. Proximity to the restaurants, shops and playground was perfect and the beach just a short drive away.

Magical week in Lewes

We have always loved Lewes so having a great house right near the center of town was a treat! The house is beautiful with special amenities — a great upstairs porch for lounging; an outdoor shower; a short walk to a park with a pond (our dog’s favorite spot); and a lovely bike ride into gorgeous Cape Henlopen State Patk - one of our favorite places! All in all a great place to be!

Perfect Getaway

Great house in a great section of town. House was larger than it appeared in the photos, ceiling are very high with lots of light. House was very clean with tons of storage. The upstairs family room was a great place for our kids and the bunk room was the perfect set up. Second floor front porch was our favorite spot. Walk to town was easy. A few minor things to be fixed but overall the house was a great place for our vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Katharene

Host profile image
We love Lewes! We first discovered Lewes in 2012 and have never looked back. We love everything about this town. Ocean, Bay, Bike trails, great restaurants and shopping--it's all right here. This is our second rental property in Lewes. We have another at the beach ( vrbo.com/411503) but love the in-town vibe so much we purchased this home in 2020. We love to walk to the restaurants on 2nd street and our kids love the park down the street with a fishing pond and large playground. We ride our bikes or walk to the beach in a matter of minutes and love the bike trails. Lewes is just the best town for a relaxing, fun get away any time of year.

Why they chose this property

House is so comfortable and cozy. Layout easily accommodates two families. Great bunk bed room with 3 beds. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. Fully appointed kitchen is great for cooking and entertaining. Porches are terrific to start your day with coffee and a book--or for happy hour after day at the beach. House is located on a beautiful and quiet street. Oh, and pet friendly!

What makes this property unique

Incredible location, fenced yard, fireplace, gourmet kitchen, porches. Pet friendly.
