About this property

116 Washington - Wonderful home in Historic Lewes with so many recent upgrade

Lovingly updated home in historic Lewes is ready for your vacation rental. The first floor features the main living area, large dining room and comfortable kitchen. The owners have recently added a new bedroom with Queen bed on the first floor. There is also a full bathroom off of the kitchen with a shower. Off of the kitchen there is a mud room complete with full size washer and dryer. The second floor has four bedrooms, two with one queen each and one with a trundle bed (two singles) and a hall bath with a tub/shower combination. This floor also has the large and welcoming primary bedroom with King bed and bathroom with its own private deck overlooking the back yard. The back yard patio with table and chairs or the screened gazebo is a great spot to enjoy a cup of morning coffee or an afternoon libation. The kids will enjoy playing in the large yard after a day at the beach. Take a quick stroll up town to the best restaurants in the area or some shopping.

All guests must supply their own sheets, towels and beach towels or OPT in for our linen rental package.

The property is NOT pet friendly.

Guests must choose to purchase a $70 Vacation Rental Damage Insurance policy covering $3,000.00 in accidental damage, or pay a refundable security deposit of $2,000.00. Policies of a lesser amount are not acceptable. This amount will not be reflected in the quote amount on VRBO.

Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood

The house is in a perfect location and has plenty of room for our large family. Having a public parking lot close by is another plus. The furnishings are comfortable and purposeful. Everyone enjoyed our time there.

Lovely house in a beautiful neighborhood

The house is pretty and accurately portrayed in the pictures. There are lots of different rooms and seating areas in the house plus toys for kids - which our toddler loved! The kitchen is equipped with the basics and there is a gas bbq in the back yard. I would have preferred bed sheets and towels to be included in the price. The linen package was a significant extra expense and we found the sheets to feel a bit synthetic and hot. Picking up/dropping off the keys is in a different location but was very easy and close to the house. The location of the house is fantastic - on a quiet street and a short drive to the beach or an easy walk (under 10 mins) to the shops and restaurants of Lewes. Thank you for our stay!

Great house with ridiculous management company

The house was maybe one of the best houses we’ve rented. So much space, charm, and accessibility to town and beach made it amazing. HOWEVER: You will be charged extra over the amount you see when you reserve on Vrbo. It’s a fee to the management company. You will also be expected to bring your own bath towels, linens, bath mats, etc. You will also be expected to check out by 10 AM and have the dishwasher unloaded so don’t plan on breakfast that morning if you have a group. Vrbo says check in at 3 PM but the fine print in the rental company’s contract says they have until 6 PM if need be for cleaning. Great house, thank goodness or it would’ve been a total bust.

Beautiful home in historic district

We absolutely loved the house, but the screened in porch and balcony were where we spent 90% of our waking hours. The outdoor shower was great for everyone. The kitchen was spacious and had plenty of amenities. Brand new grill was a highlight. Key pickup was efficient, but we couldn’t get into the home due to the slides being bolted from the inside. There is a lock box, but we did not have access code. The rental agent had recently been at the house and quickly returned. Our other concern was the lack of cleanliness, particularly high touch spots, under beds, baseboards, bedding and kitchen. The owner’s suite does not have a dresser or closet, so clothing storage can be tricky. There is a clothing rack on the first floor which is where we hung our clothes. Despite these shortcomings, we would stay again. The home is in a beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to downtown and the beaches. Bike trail access is steps away and most nights it was super quiet. The fenced in yard is great for kids and there were plenty of toys, games, DVDs and books to enjoy.
