About this property
Perfect beach cottage for your Lewes vacation! 10 Texas
Welcome to this classic Lewes Beach cottage offering the ultimate coastal escape just three houses from the sand. Nestled on a quiet street, this single-level home combines laid-back seaside charm with unmatched proximity to the gentle waters of Delaware Bay. Start your mornings on the sunlit enclosed front porch with a warm cup of coffee as you plan the day's adventures, or head straight out the door to feel the sand between your toes in less than a minute.
Inside, the light-filled layout features three comfortable bedrooms, a bright open-concept living area, and a fully equipped kitchen made for gathering. Crisp coastal colors, hardwood floors, and cozy seating create an inviting retreat after hours spent in the sun. Thoughtful details—including an enclosed outdoor shower complete with a convenient second powder room—make rinsing off after a day at the beach seamless and hassle-free.
Your four-legged family members are warmly welcomed at this pet-friendly haven, which boasts a fully fenced backyard. It is an ideal private oasis where your dog can safely roam while you relax on the patio. Fire up the gas grill for a traditional outdoor crab feast, unwind in the peaceful garden space, or share evening drinks under the stars while listening to the distant sound of the waves.
Beyond the driveway, the very best of Lewes is within effortless reach. Take a short stroll to the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, grab a bite at nearby waterfront spots like Grain On The Rocks, or hop on your bike to explore the scenic trails winding through Cape Henlopen State Park. Historic downtown Lewes and its charming Second Street shops are just a quick ride away, offering the perfect blend of coastal relaxation, outdoor recreation, and dog-friendly fun.
*Note - There is a second toilet in the enclosed outdoor shower area.

This is a great spot right next to the Ferry and Cape Hanlopen State Park. There is a path at the end of the street that goes to the beach. It is a little over 1 mile walk/bike into town. We really enjoyed our stay. The outdoor shower was perfect.

The walk to the beach was a little confusing with signs that said no trespassing, but we could find the beach walking through the condo parking lot and then over to the walkway after the neighbor told us. Once you get to the beach itself, it is beautiful there even though the ferry is right next to you. The sunset and that beach is stunning.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you discovered the beautiful beach and enjoyed the stunning sunsets. It sounds like once you found the access point, the peaceful setting and beautiful views made the walk worthwhile.
We apologize for the confusion with the beach access signs. We understand how unclear signage can be frustrating, especially when arriving somewhere for the first time. We appreciate you sharing this feedback, and we’ll be sure to pass it along for review.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing beach getaway!
Very cute house with nice short walk to the beach on the inlet side! House was very clean and kitchen had everything need to cook. Outside shower was great as well! Pup loved the fenced yard so he could run off lead and play. We all really enjoyed every part of the property!

We have stayed at this location three times. Each time we stay, the upgrades make the place that much more enjoyable for us. These include the water dispenser. We did want to share a couple of things that we did have concerns with, and hoping that they can be addressed.-written instructions for operating the TV including the two remotes, both of which we seemed to struggle with-- while we were able to vacuum the house before leaving, we could not find a broom to sweep with-- the water pressure in both bathrooms was subpar, and we struggled with that-- we did see some ants in the house -- bathroom and 2nd bedroom. It's spring and there were several anthills around the yard, so not unexpected but should be addressed-- clothes washer works very well but dryer was a struggle as it took a bit of time to dry a load of towels that were required as part of our stay

It was just as described… I reached out to owners as I saw a bad review about the outdoor furniture. They said they were replacing it and they indeed replaced it. Loved the location as we are bikers. And Cape Henlopen bike trails are so close. It was nicely stocked and cozy.

We love 10 Texas Ave. This was our 3 rd year in a row! Looking forward to staying again!
This small cottage was fine for my husband and me. It was clean and well stocked and close to the beach. The backyard table, chairs and umbrella are outdated and would benefit from replacement. I think it is overpriced for October, given its size, but overall, it was fine.

We had a great stay at 10 Texas Ave. It was the perfect place for us (a couple) and our little beagle mix. While surrounded by large, modern beach houses, this classic little beach cottage holds its own. Excellent location. Downtown Lewes is about a mile north, the gorgeous Cape Cape Henlopen State Park about a mile south. The bike trails are amazing as are the local beaches on the sound and ocean. The cottage was clean and well stocked.

Pros: Small comfy cottage, not far from the beach. It had the basic essentials. Good for a couple. Beyond that it may get crowded, at least for us. The neighborhood was quiet, even right next to the ferry. We could only hear it if outside. The neighbors were very friendly. (not always the case when you have a rental in a neighborhood).Cons: There was an iron, but no ironing board. The door to the front sunroom was heavy and tough to open. We spent a lot of time in here with the windows open. There was too much stuff in this room. Dresser and large table need to go. The table on the back patio basically crumbled when I went to sit down. The bottom ring that connects that table legs was only connected (barely) to 2 legs. I fixed it. The outdoor toilet... on hot days, there was a not very pleasant aroma along the side of the house and out back. We had to keep resetting the ice machine and no the tray wasn't full. Only one bed was really comfy. The other larger bed was as hard as the floor.For the rate we paid, we could have had a much larger, more comfy rental for the same week. We think the rate should be adjusted to match what is offered. Some little updates here and there would definitely make it more appealing. The windows had been replaced which likely helped keep the sound out.
