Guestbook comments from the owner
Nancy, Despite Joaquin's threats, Jim and I had a wonderful vacation in Lewes, dividing our time between kayaking in lower Delaware and biking at Cape Henlopen. 3 Newark suited our needs! Thanks for opening your home to us. Have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Summer family time
We stayed the week of June 25th. It was a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Nancy was very helpful and accommodating. The neighbors were friendly. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!
Perfect for our group
Everyone enjoyed the cottage and it's convenient location. The upstairs seating area was perfect for our group when we gathered after dinner. It was a short walk to the beach, and to local eateries and entertainment.
Only suggestion we had was a bug light by the doors to deter the dive bombers at night.
Comfortable Home, Great Customer Service
We arrived for girls weekend Friday-Sunday. This home is very conveniently located close to the beach and Cape Henlopen State Park, which we loved (Beach, Hiking, Biking). We also loved the little town for shopping and food- we went to Kindle (very good) and Gilligan's (nice atmosphere on the deck) for lunch and take out from A Touch of Italy. The kitchen is well provisioned, great patio in the back to hang out. My first trip to Lewes and I will definitely return to this quaint little town.
A perfect rental experience
The house has everything you need. Quiet street in a nice part of town. It isn't ON the beach, but you are only 4 or 5 houses down from the beach and it is super easy access. I have a toddler and it was close enough to go back to the house for potty breaks, etc. with no hassle. The beach itself is in a residential area / no hotels or condos. Most mornings and evenings we had the beach to ourselves. Even when it was "busy" the closest people were 30-40 feet away. Would recommend to anyone and we'll be back for sure. Owner is super easy to work with as well.
Beautiful clean location so close to the beach!
The location is unbeatable as far as proximity to the beach goes. The beach wasn't even crowded most days - though one night a few gnats wouldn't leave us alone by the ocean.
The rental house was rather small for me and my five family members, but it housed us quite well. I was impressed with the amenities - it is even more up to date than the photographs. The neighborhood is peaceful and there are quite a few nice shops close by on Second Street. Would definitely book here again if I were to return to Lewes!
Great place!
Very cute cottage had plenty of room for me and my two teens. Place was very clean and had well-stocked, modern kitchen. It does not have an oven, take note! With the exception of the kitchen, the decor and furnishings are basic, not modern, but comfortalbe and supplied everything we needed at a very good rate. The house is a closer walk to the beach than we expected, and Lewes Beach is not crowded. Safe neighborhood for walking; several ice cream and deli places within a 10 minute walk. You would have to drive into Lewes itself, but it is a very picturesque town! Accommodations are up a small flight of stairs, as pictured. "Downstairs" area is locked and not furnished (we peeked thru the windows), so no worries about sharing with anyone else. Outside shower was very helpful for trips back from beach. Owner was considerate and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Map
Bike or walk to downtown shops in Lewes or enjoy a day exploring Cape Henlopen State Park.

So use your imagination and enjoy your stay in beautiful and quiet Lewes Beach.
