About this house rental
Walk out the front door and take a few short steps to the beach!
Water view home, next to beach and ferry, handicap-accessible for anyone who needs it.
Just a short walk from the beach, with water view from the crows nest! The perfect Lewes vacation rental for a large family, multiple families, or group of friends -- and is handicap-accessible (see below).
This new house (built in spring 2012, refreshed in 2023) is situated on a small, private road directly between the town of Lewes and Cape Henlopen State Park.
The house has it all, starting with location: the driveway is only steps from the sand walkway to Lewes Beach – and wash off in the outside shower before coming inside. The views are unbeatable: from the 2nd and 3rd-floor decks you can see the ocean, the state park, and for miles around. Inside the house is a beautiful great room, new kitchen, and all the amenities you could wish for (internet, TVs, etc.). It's full of toys for the kids, and books for everyone.
The house comfortably sleeps 10 – bring all your friends for an easy, relaxing week at the beach.
As of late 2023, the house also has a Peloton bike for use! (Guests bring shoes and use their own accounts.)
Also very convenient to the ferry – right around the corner!
Handicap access details: ramp into front door, 1st-floor master bathroom with roll-in shower, widened halls and doorways, and elevator to 2nd-floor deck!
Reserve this spectacular beachhouse quickly - it sells out every summer.

The home was lovely and kitchen was well stocked. Best feature is if you are disabled - para or quad - this is the vacation spot for you. The downstairs master will meet all your needs. Our favorite spot was the screened in porch - we ate meals and played board games every evening there. Only problem was there appeared to be dog dander all over the house, on the couch and on bed spreads. But the maintenance staff responded immediately and vacuumed.

Three couples who have been friends a very long time since college, but who now live in different parts of the country got together at the house for a rare opportunity for us all to be the same physical location. We had an excellent time. The house was very nice. It was advertised as wheelchair accessible and indeed it was. It was very easy for one of our group who was in a wheelchair to live in and use the house. Very close to beaches. The weather was quite nice. Overall, we had a terrific week.

Spacious and open floor plan was really comfortable. Allowed for us to be social while cooking indoors during inclement weather. The elevator was especially nice for a family friends inhibited mobility as was the ramp for ease in and out for same. Location for me, a dog owner x2, was convenient to the Lewes/Cape May Ferry grounds which was incredibly pet friendly. Being close to the Ferry Complex restaurant "Grain on the Rocks" welcomed my pets with water bowls and love. We were a little disappointed with the requirement to clean/sweep things that were not clean upon check in. The grill was too small for a gathering and had a lot of food debris in it from previous cookouts. The fridge & freezer were not clean and the food pantry had a ton of leftovers in it when previous properties would have clean things out. I have a maintenance background so this is a suggestion...the house needs a bit of TLC as far as faucet handle sets, toilet handles and toilet seats. Light bulbs were out in the Master bedroom area and bath. Overall we were happy and appreciated the location. Thanks to the maintenance mgmt for quick response on the one issue we called about and our Host was wonderful and offered assistance with anything we needed. We love Lewes and will be back!

We had an amazing family vacation here. The house is roomy enough to fit a large family. We loved cooking here every day and the open layout was great for hanging out together. The multiple decks also were used a lot and we liked having dinner together on the covered porch. The house has nice amenities and extra beach items. We loved how close the beach is and when we wanted to go Cape Henlopen it was just a very short car ride.
