About this property

Cape Shores Luxury - Brand NEW 2024 Pool, Beach, Private Fishing Pier, Park!

Welcome to your vacation home in highly desirable Cape Shores community! This renovated, four-bedroom home is only 2 houses (<1 minute walk) away from the brand new (2024) pool! Also, just a short walk (5 houses) to the beach, tennis & pickleball courts, and state park. NEW for 2025 - full-size arcade featuring classic games like PacMan, Ms PacMan, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Space Invaders, Frogger, and many more...see photos!!

Only 0.15 mile to Cape Henlopen State Park with miles of sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches, biking and hiking trails, surfing, fishing, frisbee golf, nature center, and wildlife - including great bird-watching, and more! Wake-up and take a walk or run through the park on the extensive trail network - you can actually get all the way to Rehoboth Beach entirely on the trails!

Cape Shores is the only waterfront community in Lewes with a pool, private fishing pier, & tennis/pickleball courts.

You will be delighted with all of the living space and outdoor decks. From the front entry, a large dining area sits to the right. Further into the house, a large kitchen and family room are adjacent to one of the open decks. A half bath on your way to a queen bedroom with full bath complete the space.

The second floor has a king master bedroom with full bath, two more bedrooms (bunk room and trundle room) and a full hall bathroom. The kids will love the bedroom with the bunkbeds!! The final bedroom contains a trundle bed with a single up top plus a second single in the pull-out trundle.

For stays in the cooler months there is a gas fireplace, and for summer months there is a grill connected to the home propane.

In the epoxy coated garage you will find 2x beach trollies with 6x Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrella and beach toys for your enjoyment. There is a kayak for your use in the bay, as well as multiple bicycles for getting around the neighborhood.

Sheets, bath and beach towels are not included in the daily rate. Guests have the option to bring their own, or I can provide a convenient and rental option that includes drop-off and pick-up. Feel free to reach out any time for details - I will provide after booking as well.

While we do love pets, they are not permitted at this property.

Guest occupancy of 10 assumes at least 2 children sleeping in upper bunks. If only adults, the house can accommodate 8 guests (2 guests in King suite, 2 guests in Queen suite, 2 guests in trundle room, 2 adults in lower bunks). Reach out with any questions or to clarify details!

Regular pool operating schedule is from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

The house was amazing! The host was extremely communicative, even before booking and always available to respond to any questions or concerns, which I feel is highly important. I would definitely recommend this rental home!! It was exceptionally clean, and a perfect location with walking distance to the beach and 2 houses down from the beautiful community pool. It was also close to Cape Henlopen State Park and downtown Lewes, as well as a short drive to outlets in Rehoboth and many fantastic restaurants. We stayed in this wonderful home in beautiful Lewes, DE, to celebrate 50 years with colleges friends, and we had a fabulous time!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was clean, well maintained with a lot of amenities. The wagons, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys and boogie boards were very much appreciated. The location of the house was fantastic, just 3 houses from the pool and a short walk to the bay beach. We went to the ocean beach at Cape Henlopen several times and it was a very short drive. The house was perfect for our group of two families with four kids ranging in ages from 8-10.

The location of the house was perfect—two houses from the community pool and walking distance to the beach. The house is beautiful and modern and very well-equipped. We arrived with items we take to every rental property—hand soap, dish soap, sponges, basic spices, etc. it turned out we didn’t need any of them because this property had it all. The only thing we needed were sheets and towels, which was effectively communicated to us. The beds were very comfortable and, despite the rain, we had a great trip! Thanks for hosting us! We love Lewes!

Thanks for the kind words, Mike! I try not to set the bar too high so I can exceed expectations (!!), but knowing that you have stayed in other Cape houses and are able to give a relative comparison means a lot. Have a great summer and we will see you again in the fall! Cheers, Mike

Beautiful comfortable home near bay

We just finished our week at Mike's house it was very comfortable inside and out. It has a beautiful kitchen and furnishings. The beds were comfortable and the rooms are big and spacious. There were plenty of beach equipment as advertised including a kayak. We love the Cape Shores neighborhood - love access to the state park and easy ride into town. We would love to stay again at his home in the future.

It is so close to go-karting for big kids, we did a pontoon boat nearby, jungle jims water park for little kids, Rehobeth for rides and Cape Henlopen for waves.

Perfect getaway

The house was exactly as pictured in the photos, it was very comfortable and cozy with lots of room and privacy for my family of four. Cape shores has great access to town of Lewes with shopping and dining, and it’s a quick bike ride to Cape Henlopen State Park. Rehoboth is a less than a half hour away by car, and a great bike ride for those wanting exercise on a pretty bike path. Michael was a great host, easy to reach and prompt with answers. We would stay again!
