Great location and great property

The house was everything we needed. Lots of rooms to spread people around, decks and balconies for access to the outside. We lucked out on good weather (in late March) and ate every meal outside on the screened-in porch. The beds and bathrooms were good too. The house is so close to the park and the beach - we were able to walk on the beach very easily. The kitchen was well-appointed; the coffee maker broke while we were there and a new one showed up just hours after contacting the owner. Great response! We intend to stay here again!

Great beach getaway in Lewes

Looks exactly as pictured. The house was extremely well equipped including the kitchen and walk-in pantry. It has beautiful views of the Delaware Bay and amazing sunsets, which you can watch from the outdoor decks. It is right on the beach with a walk path thru fragrant smelling wild flowers and beach grass. We are coming back again next year!!!

Clean house, great location

Our group of three families, six kids in tow, spent a week here to kick off summer vacation and had a great time! Upon arrival, the house was clean and kitchen was well stocked. The house is in a great location, with private beach access and we enjoyed having the fishing pier, swimming pool, and state park all within walking distance. There was plenty to do nearby in addition to the beach and our drives into downtown Lewes and the Rehoboth boardwalk were also very fun.

Thanksgiving

This was our third time staying at the Lewes beach home. We love staying at this home. There is 11 of us, all different ages. Easy beach access and walking distance to a park. Plenty of bicycles if you wish to bike. We even biked to town.The kitchen is well equiped and had everything we needed for a Thanksgiving dinner. The home is clean and well kept. Bedding is comfortable. Lee Anne is very responsive and answered our questions within hours, if not within the hour. We would definitely stay again.

Laid back perfection

The house was perfectly warm and inviting with multiple, different indoor and outdoor seating areas for our large group. Beach and pier access just steps away made this spring weekend not too far from home feel like a special, relaxing, gem of a destination. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy, comfortable weekend on the bay.

Cape Shores

Great location on the beach. House was just as advertised. Great view from the family room, where we spent most of our time since the weather was not great. Even though we were not able to see the sunset from the beach or pier due to the clouds, we still took the short walk to both the beach and the pier each night at sunset. We have previously seen the sunset from the beach and pier and it is amazing.

Wonderful House in a Great Location on Lewes Beach

We came for a week-long February change of scenery during the pandemic and were not disappointed. Great location on the beach in Cape Shores with beautiful views of the bay, dune access for walks on the beach, close proximity to Cape Henlopen State Park, and the restaurants/shops of Lewes nearby. The house is well equipped and nicely appointed and Lee Ann was a wonderful host. Highly recommend.

Being able to walk right to the beach was fabulous! We spent a lot of time walking and biking at Cape Henlopen Park which was so close.

Amazing staycation!

We had an amazing time at the house. The house was just as listed and in the perfect location! It was amazing to be able to walk into the state park everyday and so close to the ferry that we constantly got to see the boats coming and going. The kids loved to see and hear the boats each time they passed. We had a great time and Lee Ann was extremely responsive with any questions that we had during the trip. She was a great host and there were nice touches around the house. The beach felt very private and secluded and the access was great for our littles, super convenient in case we had to run back to the house. I would definitely recommend this house!

Great Little Get Away!

We had an amazing time in Lewes for a small family gathering this past weekend! The house was perfect for what we intended and loved having direct beach access. We were a bit upset upon arrival when we figured out the next door neighbor was having major work done to their home. There is machinery everywhere so we didn't end up with the nice view we should have had, from any angle of the house. Luckily, the last morning was the only time the machine's woke us up due to their 6am start time. Other than that everything went well and would recommend this home to anyone in the future!

Perfect beach vacation location!

I stayed here with extended family -- four mature adults and five young adults. There was plenty of room for all of us, and the house layout gave us time to be together and also time on our own. There are multiple decks and places to rest and gather both inside and outside, depending on the weather, which was pretty hot when we were there. Being beachfront was wonderful -- and entailed a small walk through the dunes to get to the ocean. The beach itself is restricted to residents and guests of the Cape Shores community, and was totally quiet and lovely. Only a few families and NO blasting radios. The house had lots of kitchen equipment, both appliances and cooking needs like bowls, utensils, glassware and dishware. A lovely spot with all amenities provided. The owner, Leeann, was almost instantly available by both e-mail and phone before the rental and during our stay. A five-star experience!

Perfect location!

This house was great for our group of 5 for a late season girls weekend! We felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. Neighborhood & beach were great for walking or riding one of the bikes that were available. The house provided more than we were expecting (beach chairs & umbrellas, paper products, trash bags). The second refrigerator was handy as well. Bedrooms were spacious, living room furniture was very comfortable, and lots of deck/balcony space. We hope to be back next year!
