Wonderful stay at this lovely bayside accommodation

This was one of our most memorable vacations ever! We loved the condo! It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Loved being so close to the bay and seeing beautiful sunsets every night. Also loved being so close to Lewes and Rehoboth. Our 5 year old had such a blast. We look forward to coming next year. Thank you so much!

Great Stay in Lewes

We had a great few days in Lewes. This home is bright and cheery. We walked and biked in Henlopen each day. What a treasure. The kitchen is pretty sparsely populated for those who hope to cook. Otherwise we were very comfortable and thankful that our pup was welcome.

Port Lewes Gem

We have been staying at various properties in Port Lewes for over 20 years, and this unit is a true gem! The water views are unobstructed and gorgeous, and the surrounding area is quiet and away from the extra cars and foot traffic. Watching the ferry come and go is a bonus. The house is uncluttered, which makes it very user-friendly and adds to cleanliness. The beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen has lots of working space. The tennis courts are nice, as is the pool, and the beach feels very private and friendly. And you cannot beat the sunsets from the beach or fishing pier. …and the starlit sky! Just beautiful. Thanks for a lovely week!

Access to Lewes Beach was just a short 1 minute walk away. It is only 7 minutes to historic downtown Lewes and 10 minutes away to Rohoboth. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry is right next door. My son says we must go back because we haven't tried all the restaurants in the area.

Very spacious, bright living areas with view to the water. Two decks with one overlooking the water. Fabulous view and catches the late summer sunsets. Short walk to the Bay beach at Port Lewes with views across the water to Cape Henlopen State Park. Great ocean beaches and cycle trails in the State Park. Lewes is a delightful town and coastal area - perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Perfect getaway

The space was perfect for our family of 4. The pictures are good sample of what you will get but the amenities and local attractions were great for us, even with our toddler. The steps were curved so that was an adjustment for our little one but other than we didn't have any issues. There were 2 beach options that were very close.

Quiet, relaxing stay

It was a good vacation stay. Only thing for me at 76 years old were all the steps. I managed but probably couldn’t do it again. Only real complaint was that the deck railing on water side is weak and needs anchored so no one has an accident. Thx for letting us stay, especially with our dog! It was fun to have him with us.

Wonderful view from the back deck. Nice and quiet. If you want to stay in more peaceful setting, but still have only a short drive to restaurants, shops, etc., this is the place for you. Pet friendly as well. My dog loved walking the beach every evening.
