Very good

Great house for entertaining a large group! So many games, and the heated pool really was heated and made a big difference for us when the weather wasn't great. We really enjoyed the large dining table and had all meals there. Comfortable beds, big TVs, and the two fridges and dishwashers was a big plus too. Especially loved the modern outdoor shower. Will definitely be back!
We had a great weekend The house was fine The only problem we had was with the heater pool it never worked we choose this house because of the heater poll
We had an amazing time staying here and on this vacation! Nice location, with small town feels, nice shops, good food, and super friendly people! Definitely a great spot if you like to avoid big crowds! The house is definitely a gem! It definitely kept the kiddos happy the whole time! 2 minute walk to the beach, coming back jumping in the pool, playing in the amazing game room, making s’mores at the fire pit! This house definitely has just about everything you will need, fully equipped kitchen with all your kitchen staples, propane grill with propane and grilling equipment, lots of board games, puzzles, and some toys, pool toys, beach chairs and some sand toys, multiple tv’s and Wi-Fi…you literally only have to bring your consumables and personal items! Check in progress was super easy! The property manager, Miles, was super helpful with any questions or concerns I had and responded promptly! We definitely plan on staying here again in the future!
I would recommend this location. Two seconds from the beach, spacious, fun games, and a pool. Check in process was easy, tons of parking, and overall just a good spot. Thank you!

Great Place!
Our family loved this home. The kids played in the game room nonstop, and the beach was perfect for our group. There was tons of sea life, and a great little community. We would happily stay here again.
Was a great location. House needs some updates.Was not well cleaned on check in. Had garbage under beds and around pool and fire pit. Pool was nice and outdoor movie projector was great.

Thank you for the review Jim! We had the place deep cleaned a week after you left.
Thank you again for the feedback, and look forward to seeing you again in the future!
This property was our first staying in Lewes. I loved that this house seemed to be an original. It has some of the cute cottage touches. The pool was fabulous and the location could not be beat. The neighborhood was wonderful and we had an overall excellent week. I loved the house but the potential it could have with a bit of upkeep would have made this house over the top.

Thank you for the review, Jennifer! The owner plans to keep updating the property each year to help improve the experience. Currently, he plans on putting a hot tub out there for 2026 as well as updating some of the games in the game room!
Kitchen okay Washer abd dryer substandard. Should be replaced. Very difficult to pull out knob on washer.

Thanks again for the review and we hope to see you again!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Can't beat the location and layout of the house. Short drive to restaurants as well. My disappointments come from the lack of overall cleanliness of the property. Upon arrival there was a strong animal urine stench upon entering the property. The floors were a bit grimy too. The backyard/pool was not cleaned. I know there were recent storms, but this looked like it had not been touched since the last visitors. I will admit, the communication was excellent and the problem was addressed with pool cleaners the next day. The beach, game room and pool all left our stay with positive family memories, I just wish they were taken care of prior to our arrival.
The house was the perfect summer get-together spot for my extended family. The pool, fire pit, outdoor cinema, game room, and beach access made for some great memories. While the house does have some wear and dated bathrooms, it has everything you need to keep a big group entertained. We would book again.
We had one of our best family vacations. The weather was perfect the house location was ideal and the house had everything we could want.Including a pool which was used in addition to the ocean.
We had a small issue with the air condition and Miles who was managing was so reactive and had it attended to very quickly. Thanks for everything. We will definitely be back.
All went well after some trouble figuring out the heating. Home wasn't winterized when we arrived on a 40 deg day. It was 51 deg inside and furnace and baseboard heating weren't working. Spoke w property mgr who was making efforts for tech to come but we couldn't wait as it was freezing. Bought 4 space heaters for our use. After a lot of trouble shooting on our own, checked the main elec panel and found to our surprise that all the breakers to heating system were in off position. Got the baseboard heaters working but furnace never started. Space heaters were adequate to keep the upstairs reasonably warm. No one was ableTo come thru our stay and we made do. Nice stay overall other than the heating issue. We may have been the first winter renter and they hadn't winterized the home prior. Listing agent said our expenses will be reimbursed as well as some compensation for our lost day. Sounds legit but I'm still waiting for word from accounting, 20 days later.
Ample parking, beautiful pool, and outdoor space. Spent majority of time at beach which is steps away. Made it easy to go back and forth for food and every else. Watched movies outside and built a fire one night too! An entire room of gaming devices on the first level next to the kitchen and living room. Many blinds and doors were difficult to navigate. AC was not working but owner was responsive.
The location is great! Close walk to the beach. Lots of space in the home for gathering and eating, but also nooks to spread apart and have some space to yourself as needed. Lots of neat things in the house, but a lot of things that were broken (game room most things had broken or missing parts, making them difficult or unable to play; only 1 remote for 4 TVs). Pool was nice to have, but the pool and whole outdoor area could have used a cleaning. Lots of items in the kitchen to use (dishes, utensils, pans, etc). We enjoyed the firepit as well. We did not use the outdoor screen. Linens are extra , but were delivered timely. One thing I did not like was that it is listed as VRBO (which has an additional vrbo fee), but it's actually managed by a realty group. He was professional and curteous and did respond to messages. Communication was good, but not always timely, as you are talking with someone who is only responding during their office hours. Overall a nice place to stay.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay! The house is very comfortable with good furniture and plenty of space. The beds were all great and the game room was tons of fun! I enjoyed the screened porch with the large table for morning coffee and the walk to the bay beach was literally steps! You can tell the property has had some thoughtful updates which were great but I would recommend adding a dishwasher, some updating to outlets are needed and both full bathrooms could use a little more updating for the price. The space in the home is used very well and it was a great location. Would absolutely stay again.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! The owner plans on doing some upgrades this fall including updating kitchen and bathrooms.
Thanks again for writing a review, and we hope to see you again!
The house was not clean at all. The bathrooms were dirty and very old. The pool had not been cleaned and was not useable. We checked out early because we were not comfortable staying there. Very disappointed especially considering the cost.
