Photos and Description of the Lewes vacation house rental 5 Brs; 3 Full Baths; 4 Queens 4 Twins; 1 Queen pullout

This elegant, 5 bedroom, recently renovated Victorian home and carriage house, located in the Lewes Shipcarpenter Square Historic District, balances the original elegance of this home with the casual comforts of the beach. Your city blues will melt away 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 of the kitchen, you enter the back yard with BBQ and herb garden which is surrounded with privacy fencing. The ground floor living area in the carriage house opens onto the lushly landscaped back yard through French doors that create a luxurious indoor/outdoor living area for intimate dining and entertaining on warm summer nights. The new canal waterfront park is right outside the back gate and parking area; the beach and all Lewes just steps away!

Terrific vacation house

Petitechat Virginia
Review Submitted: March 17, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
This is a beautiful home with so much attention to detail. It is amazingly furnished with everything you could need. The main house has got so much room. There is a kids area on the third floor that was a big hit for our family. It also has the cutest Carriage House with a double bedroom upstairs. The landscaping in the courtyard is so lovely. The unit takes up one half of a Victorian house, but in no way does it feel like you are crowded by the neighbors. The front porch is a wonderful spot to sit and relax. It is a short drive to the beach and Cape Henlopen State Park. The bonus of being in town is being able to walk to all the shops and restaurants.

This is a charming house, very comfortably furnished. Perfect location in town, but near enough to the beaches--best of both worlds! the carriage house out back is a great set-up for kids & their friends. Lewes is a terrific little town.
