About this house rental
Seaside historic Lewes, Delaware charms visitors all year long with quaint shops, restaurants, art galleries, maritime history, gardens and beaches. Walk/ bike to all of these. Bike path at end of street connects to Rehoboth and beaches. Soak up the full Lewes experience by staying close to town in this vintage Victorian house. A block to dinner at the Buttery or coffee at Azafran. Drink that extra glass of wine and save your meter money for you can easily walk home. We just added a ping pong table in the garage!
Come morning prop your feet up on the porch railing and experience this small town wake up. Snow geese honk overhead, boats toot horns and people will wave and say 'good morning.' Or nap hammock style under the pine bough in the secluded backyard garden. Walk and fish, boat or kayak in the Lewes canal. Cross over the canal bridge a half mile to the bay beach with a light house view. Hop the nearby ferry to Cape May to see more Victorian architecture and stores where you can pay sales tax. Then come back to Lewes to buy that expensive diamond necklace for there is no sales tax here in Delaware. Go to the Rehoboth outlets and save more especially off season. But don't forget we are at the beach so go the mile to Cape Henlopen Park. The surf, sun and sand are our main attraction. Here miles of pristine Atlantic beach stretch from the Cape to Rehoboth. You can even bring Fido to some. Swim in season, walk and collect shells or view migratory birds all year long. Cape Henlopen has miles of nature, bike trails and bird watching areas.
Too much fun in Lewes to list. We are the 'civilized beach' so come, slow down drive 25mph or park your car and don't drive. Here you can walk and bike everywhere!
We have a Rental license, displayed in side, from city of Lewes. House has all safety requirements and is routinely inspected by the city. License # R2300146.
New this year is we are providing towels and sheets!

A wonderful space for our family of three and two pups. Super close to everything, easy to communicate with Caryl, and a beautiful backyard area for morning coffee. Overall a perfect getaway. :)

Love 121 Franklin! Love Lewes!

Loved our stay at this beautiful home. Thoughtful art throughout, everything you could need. I loved having a quiet cup of coffee on the porch every morning. Incredibly convenient location to walk to restaurants and ice cream in the evenings. My husband has health issues and he did it once or twice a day! 5 min tops.

There were many heavy webs at the front door upon our arrival. The side yard, where the high fence is, is full of dead plants, weeds, rusted furniture. A mess. Charming gardens, front and back, are very overgrown, making it difficult to find safe footing on the flagstones. Be sure to take your bug spray, chiggers and mosquitoes are abundant. My 38 pound dog stepped through a rotten board on the porch cutting her paw, concerning me. The steps are steeper than normal. The bathroom situation is not the most convenient. 1 bed has no bath. 1 bed has a small attached bath, BUT the 3rd bed is a BIG step down from that 2nd bed and you have to pass through the 2nd from the 3rd to get to the bathroom. Other bath is off the kitchen. All beds on 2nd floor Both baths appear to be newly remodeled. The house on either side and one across the street were being worked on, not this owner's fault, but very inconvenient. Add to that, the driveway that has a tall shrub on one side and a dead, ugly, useless shrub on the other, which scratched my bumper. I called the manager and he came, trimmed a little off, but I would not recommend taking any full size SUV or vehicle with towing mirrors. The listing says parking across street, or municipal lot. 75 year old ladies can't be carrying luggage from across the street. The oven was filthy, but the rest was moderately clean. Beach could be walking distance if you don't take chairs, books, snacks, etc. We've stayed at many nicer, affordable places near
