Description of the Lewes vacation house rental

This elegant, 5 bedroom, recently renovated Victorian home and carriage house are located in the Lewes Ship Carpenter Square Historic District. We have tried to balance the original elegance of this home with the casual comforts one expects at the beach. We hope what we have done with the house helps to melt away your city blues when you arrive. The chairs on the front porch overlook historic downtown Lewes and provide an intimate sense of a more relaxed time in America. Stepping out the sliding doors in the kitchen, you enter the back yard that is surrounded with privacy fencing and functions much like a second living room. The yard is lushly landscaped around two seating areas and a barbecue. The ground floor living area in the carriage house opens onto the back yard through French doors that create a luxurious indoor/outdoor living area for intimate dining and entertaining on warm summer nights.

More on the house: The carriage house has a rustic bedroom with through ventilation under the eaves and a tin roof on the 2nd floor. The 2nd and 3rd floor rear bedrooms in the main house provide views of the canal. The fireplace in the living room warms up any chilly evenings. Televisions with Dish TV and surround-sound are located in the living room and carriage house. There are VCR and CD/DVD players in both houses; and wireless DSL and a printer/fax machine. The house is well appointed bedrooms, including a galley kitchen just off the dining room with modern appliances, including a Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and disposal.

Entertainment: Weekly and seasonal parking passes at Henlopen State Park Beach are inexpensive You may walk or bicycle into the Park for free. Breakwater Harbor Beach (aka Town Beach; by the Dairy Queen) is free and a great spot for toddlers or others who prefer less vigorous swimming. Rehobeth and Dewey Beaches, the boardwalk, outlet malls, movies, and more restaurants are 5 - 15 minutes south on Route 1. These beaches offer the fun of the boardwalk in addition to good ocean swimming and lifeguards. Parking is generally readily available at street meters or in lots. Fishing, dinner cruises, rentals and whale watching are available just across the Canal. Cape May Ferry takes you across the mouth of the Delaware River to historic Cape May.

Guest Book: We have many three generation families and families celebrating special events who have found the house comfortably spacious while providing ample privacy for couples and kids. Everyone loves the convenience to downtown shopping and dining (especially King's Ice Cream). Boaters love the convenience to the town and commercial docks. And most renters love the quiet beauty of historic Lewes while being just a few minutes from Rehobeth's boardwalk action.

Other Activities: Boardwalk, great restaurants, minigolf, shopping
