About this property

Crow’s Nest • 1 BR Lewes Guest Apt – Bike to Beach

Charming 1 BR/1 BA detached upstairs guesthouse offering privacy, garden views, and easy access to Lewes attractions. Enjoy beachy décor, locally sourced touches, a full kitchen, and a canopy-bed bedroom with desk for work or relaxation. Dine al fresco under the pergola, play lawn games, and unwind in a serene coastal setting. Just 3.7 mi to Lewes Beach—walk or bike to Old World Bread Bakery, Beach Time Distilling, and Lewes Brewing Co!

Our neighborhood in Lewes, Delaware, offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. We’re tucked just off Route 1, giving you quick access to local beaches, shopping, and dining, yet our property backs up to a protected wildlife area, so you’ll still enjoy peace, privacy, and the sounds of nature.
We’re located only 0.4 miles from the Lewes–Georgetown Bike Trail, one of the most scenic and accessible routes in coastal Delaware. Whether you’re looking for a morning ride, an easy commute into town, or a breezy trip to the beach, the trail is a must. It’s a flat, paved path that’s perfect for cyclists of all levels and connects you directly to downtown Lewes and Lewes Beach, which are both under a 4-mile bike ride away.
If you head left on the bike trail, you’ll reach Old World Bread, a local bakery known for its artisan loaves, fresh pastries, and hearty breakfast sandwiches—just 0.5 miles from the property. Turning right, you’ll find a number of local favorites a couple of miles down the path, including The Station on Kings, which serves one of the best brunches in the area, and Marigold, a charming ice-cream stand in the same parking lot—don’t miss their homemade flavors!
We’re also directly across Route 1 from Nassau Valley Vineyards, Delaware’s first and only award-winning winery. On Sundays, the vineyard hosts a wonderful farmers’ market where you can pick up local produce, baked goods, crafts, and enjoy live music in a beautiful setting. On Saturdays, you can bike to the Historic Lewes Farmers’ Market, which is one of the most popular on the Delaware coast. Both are great ways to spend a leisurely morning sampling local flavors.
For those who love to shop, the Rehoboth Tanger Outlets are only 3 miles away, offering dozens of brand-name stores and tax-free Delaware shopping. You can be browsing outlets or strolling the Rehoboth Boardwalk in under ten minutes by car.
If you’d like to explore the area by bike but didn’t bring your own, we highly recommend Seagreen Bicycles for rentals. The shop is locally owned—by our neighbor’s son!—and they’re known for being friendly, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Their bikes are comfortable, well-maintained, and perfect for exploring the nearby trails.
Our location truly gives you the best of both worlds: quick, easy access to Lewes, Rehoboth, and surrounding attractions, but nestled in a quiet pocket of natural beauty. Whether you’re here for the beaches, the food, the shopping, or just the slow, coastal pace, you’ll love calling The Crow’s Nest your home base while you explore everything this charming Delaware town has to offer.

Excellent place

The place is very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. I would only ask for just regular flavor coffee with the Keurig but the flavored coffee was a small price to pay for such a wonderful apartment. :-) Truthfully, the place was greatly and the hosts were very accommodating with answers to any questions. We hope to return.

Perfect for us

Just the two of us getting an extended weekend at the shore, the crows nest was perfect for us in terms of space and geographic location. The hosts went out of their way to set up the grill for us, didn’t have to do that and it was much appreciated! Bed was comfy, the rental stayed nice and cool, we had everything we needed. We will be back sometime, thanks again!

The Hosts were always very responsive when I asked questions. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the access to bike trails and could bike to many other places! We also were able to get Uber rides within less than 10 minutes. I recommend this property for a comfortable stay in Lewes.

Crows Nest is all it’s cracked up to be !

The house and property are exactly how it was described. The only thing I could say is Chris and Kate may may have been a bit humble. My daughter and I arrived with everything that we would need for the trip. Too many times we have read descriptions and been mislead. When I say that everything was there that we needed for our trip with the exception of food, I mean everything. Communication was exceptional. Check-in was a breeze. We got there unloaded the vehicle. Walked right in felt at home right away. 15 minutes later we were on the beach. They got a hold of me shortly after our arrival and asked if there was anything I needed. Other than a ride to the beach. They supplied everything. Very comfortable. Very clean. Quiet neighborhood. And close to everything. My little girl has already asked me several times when we can go back. We will definitely be looking at their properties for our next adventure. Thank you Chris and Kate for a great trip.

Peaceful stay in Lewes

Adorable carriage house .. Great location close to everything but also away on a quiet street. Easy access to wherever you needed to go. Chris the host was very responsive at every turn. Thanks for a great vacation week over the 4th of July !! Ps. ONE small suggestion. More wine tumblers.. or wine glasses needed. There was only one :). See you next time !!!! 5 stars !!!

Delightful in every way!

I enjoyed my stay at Crow's Nest very much! It was exactly as advertised! The apartment was clean and very convenient. I enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking coffee in the morning, and from my vantage point, I could literally look over the neighborhood. It was private, yet close to beaches, eating and shopping. The neighborhood was really nice. I hope to stay there again!

Crow's Nest is the best.

Very nice accommodations, clean & well stocked. Liked that it's located near the bike trail. Outdoor seating was appreciated so we could eat some of our meals there in our own private backyard. Locked storage for our bikes & free washer/dryer.

Can’t wait to come back!

This is the perfect property for a couple who don’t mind not being right next to all the attractions. It is convenient to everything, especially Surf Bagel which is within walking distance. The property is adorable and has everything you would need. The couch and bed are very comfortable, and you have more than enough space to relax in. The owners were easy to contact and it was great to chat with them the few times we ran into them. We will definitely be visiting this property again!

Lovely quiet weekend

This spot was perfect for what I wanted, which was a quiet weekend away. It’s a snug, cozy little place, finished to a high standard and very comfortable. The host was lovely and helpful. Highly recommend and would absolutely come back.

Great location, clean, cozy and tasteful!

My husband and I were down for a few days trying to get a good feel for southern coastal Delaware as a possible relocation spot for retirement. Having done some research, Lewes is where we wanted to stay as it seemed kind of center of where we were looking . First I will say if you are looking for easy access to Coastal 1 the main drag taking you south to all of the beaches, The Crow’s Nest is your place as it is right on and off. We loved this as we were back and forth a lot. As far as the stay it was the best experience, the place is decorated so nice with all of the nautical touches, it was extremely clean, pretty and well thought out to have all of the comforts of home. The bed is very comfortable and we got some very well needed sleep. The hosts answered all questions promptly and were there if you needed them but they gave us total privacy. I wouldn’t even think twice when coming back and would stay here again. Thank you Chris and Katelyn, we had a great stay!
