Excellent rental property

This is our second visit and, as before, everything was perfect. The home is extremely comfortable and clean, and Lynn is very prompt and thoughtful in her communications. The neighborhood is convenient, with food stores and restaurants nearby. Breakfast at Perkins, less than a mile away, has become a favorite start to the day. We look forward to more visits soon!

Lovely Spot to Spend Quality Family Time

My family needed a peaceful, yet central hub to spend quality time with a family member near Christiana Hospital, and Lynn and her property were heaven-sent. The home was charming, the neighborhood was quiet, and the communication was excellent. It was exactly as described, and just what we needed.as described and just what we needed.

Tranquility

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the charming Cape in Newark. Host Lynn was clear in her communication and accommodating regarding our request for late check out. This was very much appreciated as we are selling and buying a home on checkout day I highly recommend the charming cape to anyone interested in staying in the Newark area.

The house is on a quiet street that is conveniently close to UD. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our family pet. The house had everything we needed. Looking forward to staying there again for our future UD trips.

Cozy Cottage

Loved every minute there. It was a perfect home away from home. The home had everything needed from clean comfortable beds, to extra toothbrushes in case you forgot yours. The location was close to great places to eat, but the neighborhood felt like you were closer to the country. I felt safe and the owner was just an Email away.

We stayed at the Charming Cape for a long weekend. The house was perfect and the backyard is large and beautiful and fenced in! Plenty of space and clean with everything you need. The host checked in to make sure all was good and was very communicative. Location was wonderful too. Very close to University of Delaware. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

Great stay

Charming cape was perfect for family to stay for a local reunion. Very clean and quiet with a great back yard for bird watching and relaxing. The neighborhood offers entry to walking trails in middle run natural area. Lynn was easy to communicate with and fixed an issue for us very quickly. We will definitely stay again when we come back.

Close, Quiet and Clean!

We stayed for a long weekend for an event at the University of Delaware and it was perfect! This old charming house was immaculately clean and was stocked with everything we needed. It was only 5 minutes from campus and at the end of the street was entry to extensive hiking and biking trails. We got to enjoy a couple of miles of hikes and look forward to coming back and doing more. Woke up our first morning to a nice 4-point buck and a doe in the yard. We'll be back for sure!

Simply Perfect!

The host and the Charming Cape were perfect for visiting our student at the University of Delaware. The Location is great! It is in a quiet neighborhood, is close to the school and lots of restaurants and stores. Our dog came along for the visit too which made our student so happy. Our dog was so comfortable in the house and loved the doggie door in the back which leads to a fenced in yard giving her the freedom to go in and out. The host, Lynn, was phenomenal and thought of everything…from instructions on how to work the TV, to snacks and waters to welcome us, to perfectly made beds and every supply or item you could possibly need. She periodically checked in to be sure we had everything we needed and was super quick to respond to any questions that we had before and during our visit. We will definitely keep the Charming Cape in mind for our next visit!

Exceeded all expectations

We travel here regularly to see plays at our granddaughter’s nearby performing arts school, The Cab Calloway School. This will be our top choice for accommodations from now on! Lynn is a terrific host. She has very helpful information in a binder (e.g., local restaurant menus) and she’s eager to help in any way (e.g., finding pickleball locations for us). We were able to bring our dog, which was much appreciated. The fully fenced yard was a pleasant surprise and Grosvenor loved stretching his legs in the yard. The walking trail at the end of the road is gorgeous and we enjoyed a walk there. The rooms are generously sized so the three of us had ample space. It was a delight to stay here!

A Good Time Was Had by All

We travelled from MA to DE to watch our grandsons participate in a swim meet at the University and thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Charming Cape. The property lived up to its name:) The living and sleeping spaces were roomy for the six of us. We were able to prepare meals for all during our stay. Lynn provided extras touches: a snack basket (enjoyed by my grandsons), a couple of juice pouches and bottles of water, as well as condiments. Directions for check-in, operation of the dishwasher and washing machine, and check-out were clear and appreciated. Before checking out we took a walk on the trail system at the end of the street and wished we had more time to explore it further. This property is a wonderful alternative to staying at a hotel.

Perfect for Us

My family (my husband, 5 year old and mother) and I stayed at the “Charming Cape” for the weekend because we were in Delaware for a family reunion. The house was clean, comfortable and definitely charming! There was a fenced in yard that was beautiful and relaxing. The neighborhood was quiet. The owner was very responsive and even sent us a message the first day to make sure we had everything that we needed. The owner went out of her way to make the house comfortable for people if they have very young kids-items available included a pack n play and high chair. The set up of the bedrooms was also great-there was a bedroom on the first floor with a bathroom right next to it. This was perfect for my mom who would’ve a harder time getting up the stairs. Would absolutely recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is so beautiful for many reasons, but first and foremost, the neighbors are spectacular people. You will always find someone walking no matter the time of day or weather. The state park is right down the street and everyone thinks of it as an extension of our street. It's just a beautiful, well-maintained, quiet, friendly, natural place to exist. You will love it here. I know I do.

What makes this property unique

The Charming Cape has a very good energy. The house is cheerful and peaceful. Nature abounds through every widow and from the yard you can hear all manner of bird songs and see deer, foxes, and other amazing wildlife. I truly love this home and I know you will too.
