Excellent house and location! We loved being so close to the beach, in a quiet area with little traffic, while also having plenty of destinations within driving distance - the ferry, Cape Henlopen, downtown Lewes, bike trails, even mini golf! The upstairs room was perfect for children, with toys and books and plenty of space to play. The house was cozy and comfortable - a great contribution to a relaxing vacation.The host was very helpful and responsive with many ways of communications (email, text)

The house was very clean, cozy and comfy! The tv room was very large with a nice big tv for nighttime movies. We enjoyed the screened porch on the back and the fire pit patio area. Very short walk to the beach. John was very easy to communicate with and replied quickly to my questions.

This is a great cottage very close to the beach. Our family of five had more than enough room. We really enjoyed our relaxing and rainy weekend. The cottage is a quick walk or drive to town. The beds were comfortable. The decor is very old school (which we appreciated). Jim is gracious in offering use of anything onsite. He’s very responsive before the visit and checks in while visiting. Overall great first time in Lewes (even though it rained a lot we loved it)

The house was larger than the photos suggested, it was very well stocked, and worked well for us. The owner checked in with us, which was nice, and we enjoyed hearing that the house had been in the family for a long time. The location was really perfect - a short walk to the beach, yet close to town and other attractions.

Thought this listening had good reviews, it has major cleanliness issues and is not accurate to its description. There were mouse droppings in the kitchen, the cabinets, under the stove, and on cookware. Though the host sent a cleaning crew out to rectify it, he admitted he knew there were mice so I’m unsure why the house wasn’t already deep cleaned. There is also a major drain fly issue, probably from the disposal. The one full bathroom has wallpaper which is covered in mildew. As far as disappointing inaccuracies, the upstairs bedroom is a loft that is only 5’3 at the tallest peak making it impossible to walk around standing up and also does not have an actual door. The screened-in porch is not maintained and most of the screens are ripped letting bugs in and making it unusable for meals or relaxation. The selling point of the house is the location to the beach which is very convenient. The check in process was easy and host is responsive. He was kind enough to offer us to extend our trip considering the mouse poop issue, however we did not wish to stay any longer considering the overall condition of the house.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry your stay did not meet the standard I expect for the property. When you notified me of the mouse-dropping concern, I responded immediately and arranged for my cleaning team to return at the earliest available time. They thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the kitchen, cabinets, cookware, and affected areas. I also offered to extend your stay by two additional nights at no charge. I take the additional maintenance concerns you raised seriously and am addressing them with my cleaning and property-management teams. This is the first review of this nature I have received after nearly 40 stays and consistently excellent guest feedback, but that does not lessen the importance of your experience. I appreciate your acknowledgment of the home’s convenient beach location, easy check-in, and my responsiveness. Guest feedback helps me maintain the high standard I expect for the property.

Cute vintage beach house. Hard to beat proximity to the beach. Exceptionally responsive owner. Love the more quiet Lewes compared to Rehoboth. My family and I very much enjoyed our stay.

We had such a fantastic stay at this beach house! The location is absolutely perfect — just one block from the beach, which made it super easy to walk back and forth throughout the day. It was so nice not having to worry about parking or lugging beach gear too far.The house itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were wonderful — super helpful, responsive, and made sure we felt right at home. We had such a memorable trip and can’t wait to come back again!

Real deal beach house

Great house, excellent location, engaged host. We were traveling with young children and appreciated how the common area was away from bedrooms so that we didn’t have to tiptoe around at night. Also great outdoor space. If you want to feel at home at the beach, this is the place!

The house gave each of us privacy at night and an outdoor gas grill for a special dinner. The master bedroom was perfect for my 91 year old mother! Both family rooms have comfortable couches. Relaxing after fun days was easy! The area is beautiful with wonderful walks. We spent an afternoon in Rehoboth and the rest of the time in Lewes and Henlopen State Park. We had a great time. Thank you!

Nice place with a few caveats

We had a lovely stay. The house was well stocked and clean. The porch was lovely. The host was very available. Stepdowns between rooms and challenging access to attic bedroom were concerns, particularly for an older member of our party.

Lovely stay

The host, John, is a great communicator. The house is very well stocked and set up. The beach was so close and we loved the bay and Cape Henlopen State Park. The screened in porch was pretty and relaxing and the outdoor shower was great. This was our first trip to Lewes and we didn’t get to spend time in the town but it looked very charming. We bought wonderful fresh bread and cold cuts and Lloyd’s market. A lovely visit.

Beach house

We had a great time! The house is just steps away from the beach. Spent quite a bit of time on the screen porch. We actually had a warm beach day in April which was a nice surprise. Communication with the owner was great, very responsive. Would definitely consider staying again.
