So much fun !! Very family friendly.
Absolutely amazed once inside the house !
Plenty of room to spread out and relax.
The backyard was private and great for grandchildren to run around and play.
Plenty of parking and easy walk to beach with two 3 year olds & one 5 year old.
Last year we stayed in a 2 million dollar house but it was just a house. This year we were in a cozy home that everyone was able to relax and enjoy !!
Communication with Michael & Heidi was prompt & easy. Thanks so much
We loved our stay in this home. The location was perfect, there was plenty of space, everything was clean, beautiful and just charming. There were thoughtful extras like stacks of board games, toys for the kids, and extra blankets. We would love to return again!
All ten members of our family from age 6 to 66 enjoyed the cozy and spacious property! The walking distance to the bay was especially convenient. The kids loved the front dining area for board games and the yard for playing. The grownups liked some of the separation but there was enough seating between the open concept family room and dining area for everyone to be together.
We had the best week in Lewes and the Gray Cottage was an ideal place for my family to stay. There was so much space in the house and it was a short walk to the lovely bay beach. It was also an easy walk into town where there are so many good restaurants.
The house was very well equipped and Heidi was so easy to communicate with. We would definitely look to stay there again.
Great place to stay near the bay. Short drive over to Rehoboth or Dewey if that’s your scene. Nice quiet neighborhood in a historic town. Lots of trails and bike paths, very short walk to the bay. House was better than advertised and lots of room for 4 adults and 5 kids.
The location of this house is just perfect and the layout is wonderful for large groups staying together. This is our second year staying here and we will stay again next year if they'll have us!
An excellent choice for a girls’ getaway, it’s an easy walk to town and the beach is right around the corner. The Cottage has plenty of bedrooms and baths for a group. Thanks for the automatic light in the hallway! Can’t wait for our next visit!
Our stay was great. The owners, Michael & Heidi, we very responsive and answered questions in a timely manner.
The property is so close to the bay, stores and shops, and places to eat. 10/10 would recommend!
This was the perfect location, half a block from the beach and a leisurely 15 minute stroll to the main downtown part of Lewes. The house itself was very cute and had everything we needed for traveling with many small kids, including a crib, two rooms with two twin beds each, beach chairs, a fenced yard, an outdoor shower, a stocked kitchen, a huge comfy couch. We loved our stay and hope to return next year!
This is our fourth time staying at this property, and we loved it once again. Great space, good value, amazing location, and very helpful hosts. Thanks for another wonderful stay!
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property so close to the beach! We were down in Lewes for a celebration of life of my aunt, and we were beyond impressed at this beautiful home. The pictures don’t do it justice, there’s plenty of space and it is incredibly clean. The backyard is very peaceful and we enjoyed morning coffee out there. They were a ton of books, games, and we had family from 10 years old up till 66 enjoying the property. We would love to stay again.
The house is so clean and so spacious! We loved the well-equipped kitchen, the various places to eat in and around the house, and the lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. With a living room and family room, an upper deck and a furnished patio, it was easy to find a place to gather or just be alone. It is so close to the beach and to town, we walked to both several times during our stay. We hope to return to this house in the future!
Everything was great! Lots of room and all the little household items that make a stay nice were available, including some ground coffee and paper towels for the kitchen. House was very clean. Highly recommended!
My family stayed there over Thanksgiving to be near our home in Lewes. It was cozy with plenty of space for everyone. It was very clean and well appointed with everything they needed.
We loved our stay at Gray Cottage! The home is spacious, the hosts are responsive and accommodating, and the location is excellent (one block to the beach and walkable to the downtown area). The home is fully stocked (beach gear, kitchen supplies, games, and movies) to make a memorable family beach vacation. We are grateful to Michael and Heidi for their home and stay.
