We came back to stay this year for a 2nd year in a row as we absolutely loved the condo, its amenities, communication from the host and overall closeness to both the beach and downtown Lewes. It’s a perfect place for a couple and wish we could’ve stayed longer! Thank you, Mike & Tracy for the awesome experience.
Osprey Oasis was perfect! My husband and I loved the location, view of the water, and the nesting Ospreys! The unit was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The outdoor area with the stringed lights was romantic and comfortable. Thank you for a great stay.
This was an excellent condo. Location was ideal as Lewes was an easy walk. Nice outside fenced-off patio gave us a great spot to store our bikes and condo was a great jumping off point for cycling. Mike was a very responsive host. Would definitely recommend this condo.
We had an amazing time visiting Lewes Delaware. The condo was clean. The location was perfect close to restaurants and shops. The Hosts were excellent and communication was great.

And communication and recommendations from host were great. I’ll be back!! Thank you!!
Great location in Lewes, right by the bridge to downtown and close to teh beach, (overlooking an Osprey Hawk family). Very responsive, great one bedroom apartment with an ideal patio.

This condo was in the perfect location for a quiet beach getaway. Everything was clean, cozy & as described. I’ve never had a host as thorough and descriptive about the rental and surrounding neighborhood as Mike/Tracy. The recommendations for food, drink and shopping/activities were very much appreciated.
We stayed at Mike’s place for a family beach vacation, and we loved our stay! The place was updated and clean with nice decor. Location was fantastic- easily in walking distance to all of the gems Lewes has to offer. Mike was a great host and very responsive. We had an excellent experience and would book again!
Condo was nicely appointed and convenient to shops and restaurants in Lewes. Suggestions for activities, local areas of interest and places to eat were very thorough and helpful. Great water pressure in the shower and beds were comfortable. We brought our bikes and enjoyed the nearby bike trails and easily visited Rehoboth this way. Would stay again!
Our host had an entire binder full of great information in detail. Extremely helpful.

Clean, pretty little condo with easy access to both Lewes Beach and downtown. Easy to go to the beach, go back to the condo to rinse off/relax, then walk into town for food and shopping.Bike trails were also great. Owners were super hospitable, in addition to offering a great digital guidebook with recommendations and things they also provided coffee, a mini bag of toffee, and a discount voucher for beach equipment rental. (We didn't use it, but the gesture was much appreciated!)

Erich, Thank you! We strive to be 'super hospitable' for all our guests, so hearing that the guidebook and small gestures hit the mark means a lot to us. We’re glad the layout of your day—from the beach to downtown—worked out perfectly. We look forward to your next visit to Lewes!
Sincerely, Mike, Tracy, and family
We tried Lewes for the first time last year after being long time Cape May fans. The attraction at first was the ferry to Cape May. However, this year we didn't think about CM. We had discovered plenty of fantastic places in Lewes. The property is perfect for us. So happy to have found it. We'll be back for year 3!

About the host
Hosted by Mike
Welcome to Lewes (loo-iss) and the beauty of coastal Delaware. Our family's favorite activities include kayaking, paddle boarding, biking the trails, fishing, flying kites, throwing the Frisbee/football on the beach, sunset cruises, dining at the terrific local restaurants, ice cream shops and enjoying much needed R&R. Lewes provides the perfect seaside retreat for all ages. We are native Delawareans and enjoy sharing our local recommendations with our guests. We look forward to hosting you.
Why they chose this property
Lewes offers a charming downtown with excellent restaurants, shops, boutiques, galleries, parks, & museums. Lewes Beach is a hidden gem with soft sand, beautiful views and tons of wildlife. Better yet, it's all within walking distance of our condo.
Your homebase is just a few yards away from the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal. The canal begins at the Roosevelt Inlet where it connects with the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The canal offers excellent fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating. The canal is also home to dockside restaurants with outdoor seating (great for sunsets), marinas, and sport fishing shops. The Lewes Canal Front Park offers tennis/basketball courts, a playground, and a boat ramp to launch kayaks. Yoga in the park is offered on Sundays and free weekly concerts, outdoor movies and events are offered throughout the summer at the park. There are also events in the fall and winter months.
Lewes Beach is less than a half-mile walk or bicycle ride. This beautiful stretch of beach offers views of lighthouses and the Cape May-Lewes ferry boats that come and go throughout the day. The ferry terminal features a dockside bar and grill. There's also a children's play area by the ferry terminal.
Cape Henlopen Seashore State Park is just two miles from the condo. You can bike or drive into the park and enjoy the gorgeous sand dunes, pristine Atlantic Ocean beaches, surfing, a fishing pier, lighthouses, WWII lookout towers, trails and The Seaside Nature Center. We also highly recommend visiting the state park for gorgeous sunrise and sunset viewing from "The Point" (north end of park). Herring Point (south end of the park) is a great beach during the day and beautiful at sunset as well. We see dolphins swimming there frequently.
Bike trails are plentiful and easy to access around town.
What makes this property unique
You can walk or bike just about anywhere in Lewes. The beaches, parks, restaurants, ice cream parlors, coffee shops and shopping are all at your fingertips. Two complimentary cruiser bicycles are provided during your stay to make this even easier. Our favorite feature of the condo is the ability to walk out the front door and immediately begin exploring our charming beach town by foot or bicycle.
Our condo has free resident parking, which is hard to find in Lewes. If you choose to venture a further distance to Milton, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey, Bethany or Fenwick Island, you'll always have an open parking space waiting for you when you return from exploring.
Vehicle charging access. An EV charging station is located directly across the street from our condo next to the Pig & Publican restaurant.
