The house was clean, spacious, and very well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. We loved all of the outdoor spaces -- beautiful sunsets from the rooftop deck, two screened in porches to sit and read -- all very comfortable and spacious. Close walk to the beach. Really helpful to have two master suites.

Great house, great location near beach!

You can’t beat the location of this terrific property-just a block from the beach! The house worked perfectly for our family, ranging from 2 to 76! It was sparkling clean inside, with lovely screened in porches, and great outdoor amenities available including beach wagon, outdoor shower, beach towels, chairs and a skim board! It even had a pack’n’play crib and booster seat so we didn’t have to lug them from home. I would definitely rent again if we return to Lewes.

Great house in a perfect location!

We loved staying in the “Blue House” for a week with family and friends. It’s very spacious and super well equipped and organized. We really liked the front and back porches which are screened in so you can enjoy the morning or evening without bugs. The kitchen is big and stocked with everything you need. The rooftop deck was perfect for seeing the sunset. The beautiful Lewes beach is a short walk away.

Amazing, Relaxing Week

We all had an amazing time! Home is very cozy. Love the large screened porch as it did rain the last 3 days of our trip. We spent all week very determined to finish one of the 1,000 piece puzzles. We did in the last hours of the week but it was missing 2 pieces, haha. Felt very accomplished! Will be booking for next year!

Family vacation

The house was perfect our families ( included grandparents, and two families of 4). The kids loved sharing the bunk room and the other 3 bedrooms were very comfortable for each couple. Everything in the house was clean and nicely decorated. It came with lots of amenities. The screened porches made for such a nice extension to the house (without the bugs). We enjoyed eating at the table outside and playing board games ( the fans kept it cool out there). The house is such a close walk to the beach. Outside shower and hose made it very easy to clean off from the beach. Perfect beach house for families!

Fantastic house in beautiful location

We had a fantastic stay in this gorgeous house. The location is very close to the beach, and the house is the perfect place to have a multi-family gathering. It had something for our guests of all ages, and the owners have it well stocked for its guests, including in the kitchen, games and books, and beach supplies. There was nothing we needed but couldn't find in the house. One of the best things about the house for a large group is that it offered multiple places for groups of guests to gather or sit quietly to read a book- 2 screened porches, 2 living rooms, and the rooftop porch. Although we were a big group, the house didn't feel full of people. Highly recommend this house!

Fabulous family trip

Perfect Beach Getaway for Families! We had an amazing stay at this beautiful beach home with several families and kids ranging from 6 to 14 years old. The location is fantastic—just a short, easy walk to the beach, making it convenient for everyone. The house is incredibly well thought out for large groups. The layout was perfect, with spacious living areas and multiple screened-in porches where we could relax and enjoy the coastal breeze without worrying about bugs. The house had everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen that made meal preparation a breeze. The outdoor shower was a great feature for rinsing off after a day at the beach, and the yard in the back provided a safe space for the kids to play while we relaxed. The ping pong table was a hit with both the kids and the adults, adding an extra layer of fun to our stay. We also appreciated the two large TVs on different floors, which allowed the kids to watch their shows while the adults enjoyed the Olympics without any arguments! The roof deck was a highlight, offering stunning views of both the canal and the beach—perfect for evening ice cream and morning coffee. Parking was a breeze, and everything about the house made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to create lasting memories with our friends and family. Highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a relaxing and fun beach getaway!

My husband and I are both from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and have enjoyed Lewes and the surrounding beaches for most our lives. Lewes holds a special place in our hearts, we hope you enjoy it too.

What makes this property unique

You will fall in love with the spacious porches and our proximity to the beach. We provide beach chairs and a cart to make your half block walk even easier! The garage is finished with a ping pong table, a great hangout for kids, teens, or even the adults. And the screened porches and decks are a great spot to enjoy the ocean breeze and to relax with a drink or a good book.
