About this house rental
PLEASE NOTE: As is the norm for most rentals at the Delaware Beaches, guests must supply their own sheets and towels.
Enjoy the amenities of a newer home, surrounded by the quaintness of old town Lewes. The house is located on a quiet street, just one block from the Historic District and Ship Carpenter Square. It is a short walk, past historical houses and beautiful gardens, to the great restaurants and quaint shops on 2nd Street, and Canal front Park.
The indoor spaces are comfortable, inviting and spacious, with a large open great room, private sitting room, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and powder room. French doors and the many windows bring in lots of light and allow breezes to flow through on days you want to skip the AC. But, your favorite spot will undoubtedly be the large screened porch overlooking the private yard and garden...perfect for morning coffee, happy hour, a good book, or just relaxing with family and friends.
Once you are in Lewes, you never have to venture out on to Route 1. Relax on the beach...just an easy mile bike ride is beautiful Lewes Beach on the bay or go an extra mile and a half to Cape Henlopen Park. Here, miles of pristine Atlantic beach stretch from the Cape to Rehoboth . Explore the many bike paths and hiking trails in the park. Kayak in the Canal or Bay. Bike the Junction Breakwater and Gorden's Pond trails that link Lewes and Rehoboth. Take the kids to the playground or play tennis in Canalfront Park. And, of course, dining and shopping in town. If you do want to venture out, Lewes is short drive to great outlet shopping, golf, Rehoboth Beach and other amenities.
The living spaces...
On the first floor, enjoy the openness of the living area, with a comfy sectional sofa, fireplace, flat screen TV with Roku (for access to your favorite apps), and a space perfect for games or puzzles. Enjoy cooking in the spacious, well stocked kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counters and an island with seating for 3. The dining room offers seating for 8 at a large table.
Two sets of french doors bring the outside in, and open these rooms to a large screened porch overlooking the private back yard. It is perfect for relaxing or entertaining with ample seating and a dining table.
Also on the first floor is a powder room and small sitting room with another TV. This room is great if the kids want to watch something different or the guys want to watch the game. Plus, the convertable sofa in this room can be used as an additional bed.
Bedroom & Bathrooms
The bedrooms are on the second floor. The large Main Suite with a cathedral ceiling, has a queen bed, TV, sitting area and an attached main bath with a shower and large vanity. The other two bedrooms share a hall bath, also with a shower and large vanity. The Sunflower Room, with a set of twins beds, has two closets and a window seat...perfect for sharing, and the Coral Room is roomy with a queen bed.
Also on the second floor, is the laundry with extra large capacity washer and dryer, and a small sitting area to escape for some time to yourself.
A private outdoor shower is adjacent to the screened porch, perfect for a hot shower after a day at the beach.

I look forward to coming every year, both to have a week for quiet work for my job and then the second week for family. The downstairs is so light and airy. The upstairs is easy and comfortable. Great having a full-sized washer/dryer.
The house is beautifully designed and fittingly furnished. There is a very generous amount of cooking utensils, pots, pans, serving dishes plates and glasses. All the little touches are present.
Love walking into town; biking to Cape Henlopen State Park; enjoying the library and local museums, etc.
The owner has been 1000 percent responsive over the maybe 6 or 7 years I have been coming. She can easily be reached to help but never to hover.

It was the perfect place for our needs. Unfortunately it rained all day on Saturday but we made the best of it. We plan to return to the same place in the near future.

This is our third stay in this lovely house, which should tell you everything you need to know. It’s immaculate, the kitchen well-stocked with cookware, and a perfect location for a saunter around the historic downtown, or, for runners, a great starting point for a run that includes the downtown and the beach. Cannot recommend it enough!

We had an amazing stay at this property in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. The house is gorgeous and was decorated for Christmas. We enjoyed the spacious and clean property. The gas fireplace was very relaxing. We loved the screened in porch. We will return. Highly recommend

Beautiful home (just like the photos) in a lovely neighborhood. We so enjoyed walking to shop and eat at some great restaurants. I highly recommend the nearby Farmers Market on Saturday. This was the perfect place to relax and recharge.

We had a nice stay for a family of four in April. The location was fantastic for a short stroll to shopping and eating in Lewes, and the beach (5 min drive) was a thousand times calmer than Rehoboth for the little ones. The house is newish built and very spacious with a lovely enclosed patio. It was very clean also and kitchen supplies were more ample than usual. It really would have been 100 except the mattresses are pretty worn out and the primary bath shower pan squeaked loudly in a way that one was forced to imagine what if it suddenly gave way and crashed through the floor with its occupant in an unfortunate turn of events. (Nothing like that happened of course.) The queen bed in the second bedroom was especially in need of replacement as no matter where you lay down you roll into the middle. Rentals are always a gamble when it comes to the beds so I hope this informs someone sensitive to saggy mattresses. PS: there is no bathtub, for those with very little ones.

This property was amazing. There is so much space, well equipped, comfortable, and Karin could not have been more responsive.
The location is amazing as it is only a few blocks from the very quaint village of Lewes. We had such a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again when back in the area!
Thanks, Karin, for such a fabulous stay.

I wanted to rent somewhere for my husband, two daughters and me to spend a few days together after Christmas. I have been to Lewes before but my family has not. We all loved our stay at this house and loved the surrounding area. The house was exactly as advertised and the owner was super communicative and detailed which was wonderful. We had a marvelous time and it was the exact family getaway that we desired. The house is well appointed in all rooms. The kitchen was well stocked as were thr living room and bedrooms. We were pleasantly surprised to find the house decorated for Christmas and enjoyed the light up garland on the fireplace mantle and big and small Christmas trees.

My wife, six year old son, one year old son, and parents and I stayed at this property. It was an absolute gem. We were able to drive to Rehoboth quickly for the running festival we were in town for. We were able to walk to downtown Lewes from the home for our meals and to admire the beautiful holiday decorations on the homes in the area. The house was very clean. The owner was extremely responsive and nice. The photos of the home don’t do justice as it was even more perfect in person. We throughly enjoyed the fireplace and even the screened in porch as we had an unseasonably warm day. Top tier experience. This will be our go to home for future visits to the area!

This lovely home was ideal for our group of three couples. The first floor is open concept and beautifully decorated. There is a screened in porch we enjoyed on a surprisingly warm day in November. We found it perfect in every way.

Great experience. House was clean and well maintained. It did not look like a rental property.
We had three couples stay. The sleeping arrangements were adequate and comfortable for six adults. Most other three bedroom properties we looked at had bunk beds or would not comfortably sleep adults in the third room.
Great places to gather both in the house in front of the fireplace or outside in the screened in porch.
The price was very reasonable. We would definitely look to rent this house again the next time we stay in Lewes.

This spacious home is very comfortable, spotless and located just a short walk from lovely downtown Lewes. The kitchen has absolutely everything anyone could possibly need. The screened in back porch is an added benefit. We loved staying at this house.

We arrived in the rain, and left in the rain, but fortunately had nice weather in between. The house is very well outfitted, with lots of kitchen equipment, a nice screened-in porch with a dining table, and three bedrooms with comfortable beds. The house is not so close to the town historical center that it felt like the other visitors were on top of us, but it was close enough that we often walked in.
