Great location with basic accommodations

We really enjoyed our stay at this property because of the location -- it's a 5 minute walk to the beach, right across the main road (Cedar), and you are a quick drive or bike ride to downtown Lewes. The listing is very accurate -- this is a very simple beach cottage. It's clean, but definitely older, and you have to provide all your own linens, towels, etc, and there are not things like bath mats in the single bathroom. Everything works well, but is very old and a little wonky; for example, the house is not on a level foundation, so shower/tub does not drain all the way on its own -- which is annoying if you have a bunch of sand getting washed off! There is conveniently an outdoor shower, which is great for doing a pre wash, and a vacuum is in the house which helps for getting rid of sand in the house. For anybody planning to use the pull out couch for sleeping, bear in mind it's in the same room as the TV, which is also where the main entryway is, and there are no window coverings in that room to make it dark once the sun is up. The house backs up to the marsh, which we saw get high up about 10 ft from the back of the house when the water levels were high -- note just in case anyone is coming with kids that might be wandering out back by themselves! The owner was very easy to communicate with, and gives very clear instructions. This is definitely a bare bones house, and works great if all you need is a spot to land to go to the beach for a few days.

Great for a couple and a dog!

We had the coziest stay here! The cottage is clean and comfortable and has such a lovely view over the marsh for those rainy days. It's a quiet stretch of beach with a sandbar which was lovely for our dog in the mornings and evenings. We went to Cape Henlopen several times - it's so close - for their all day dog beach and stronger waves. We liked the nearby Wheelhouse restaurant and saw there are several others nearby and a food court for food trucks. We'll be back!

4th of July in Lewes

This is listed as 1BR/1BA, but it there’s an additional room that makes it feel much larger. The property is quiet and it’s a short walk to the beach. Lewes Township fireworks on the beach on 4th of July are always a highlight of the summer for my family, as are the wonderful restaurants in town. The wetlands behind the property were also an unexpected bonus, which makes the stay quieter and more serene, and even affords some bird watching opportunities.
