The 2nd trash and recycling was not available because the 250 fee wasn’t paid by the owner. Our 2 week stay was spoiled by this oversight. With the money paid for 2 weeks this is inexcusable! The 250 fee works out to 25/wk. I feel we are owed 50 refund for this inconvenience.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 August 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the second trash and recycling pickup during your stay. This was an oversight related to a new owner taking over the property this year. The second pickup had not been added to the schedule, and unfortunately, when we discovered the issue when you called our office the beginning of August -we contacted the City of Lewes to add it --- however, it was already too late in the season to add the additional pickup, as the second summer service ends on August 15. We did not simply leave the situation unresolved. We arranged for our handyman to make additional trash pickups during your stay, at a considerably higher cost than the normal summer second-pickup fee, so that the trash could be taken care of. We certainly understand that this was an inconvenience, and we are sorry that it affected your stay. We have addressed the oversight with the owner so that the proper pickup schedule will be in place for summer 2027. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to explain what occurred.

Cape Shores beach house

This was our second time vacationing at this beach house. While it was beautiful and perfect for our needs with a pool and bay nearby, the house needed some attention. The icemaker wasn't working in the freezer, the air conditioner upstairs broke while we were there, the hose outside was very leaky, and the door from the kitchen to the sunroom was very difficult to lock. My husband was very frustrated as if it were his home, he would've insured these things were fixed before other renters came to stay. Overall we would come back but would obviously love to not experience these inconveniences.

We had a wonderful stay - loved the closeness to the beach and state park and bike trails and the general layout of the house. The house was fully stocked with items we didn't realize they would have so my only comment would be to update the listing to list all of the appliances, beach accessories, pack and play, hand soap, etc. Thanks for a great stay

The property is spacious, clean, and well equipped. The proximity to the beach is amazing and the neighborhood is quiet and very beautiful. We took chairs to the beach and enjoyed an evening sandbar - the kids loved finding crabs and splashing in the tidepools. We would definitely rent again!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The home was clean and lovely. However there were several issues we experienced. The biggest one was we had absolutely no hot water at all for our entire trip. When we called the after hours line at 6am when we realized that they said it was not emergent so they declined trying to get a hold of the agent servicing the property. After much frustration- we finally got thru the agents. They were helpful from that point forward but there was no resolution and the entire house, which was 9-10 women - had no hot water to shower in. That was extremely disappointing and while I know it’s first world problems - that should have been addressed immediately or offered compensation for the extreme inconvenience. We thought of leaving but accommodations for a party of 10 is nearly impossible same day- so we stayed and had to use the neighboring house shower to clean up.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected hot water heater failure during your stay. As soon as we were made aware of the issue, we had multiple service professionals inspect the unit. Unfortunately, because of the size and type of gas water heater required for the home, a replacement could not be obtained immediately and had to be specially ordered. While we worked diligently to find a solution, we understand that the lack of hot water was frustrating and impacted your experience. To help make up for the inconvenience, we provided a substantial refund and extended complimentary late checkout on Sunday for both homes that your group rented per your request. While we recognize that these measures could not fully resolve the disruption, they were intended to acknowledge the inconvenience and provide some additional flexibility for your group. We appreciate your kind comments about the home itself and regret that this unforeseen mechanical failure affected your stay. We have since addressed the issue and appreciate the opportunity to improve for future guests. thank you, Bill
