Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Our time in Lewes We enjoyed our time at the house. It is close to everything in town and we could walk most places. The house has a nice front porch and back patio with a fenced in backyard that was good for our dog. The only issue was that the listing of the bed sizes appeared to be wrong for two of the bedrooms. It didn't affect our stay but we ordered the wrong bedding. Overall, we had a great time. ##### Dave M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy R.

Lots of room for six people. We enjoyed sitting out back in the morning and evening. Our dog and grandchildren enjoyed the big yard. There was ample parking between front and back. We loved being close to Lewes, so we could walk and not worry about parking. There were bike trails close by, and lots of activities to enjoy. Owners left a helpful notebook with suggestions about restaurants and things to do. I would definitely rent again. ##### Nancy R. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele M., Silver Spring, MD Sep 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Close to everything! The convenience of this location cannot be beat -- step outside the door and you're a block from the restaurants and shops. A short bike ride and you're at the beach. A relatively short car ride and you're in Rehoboth enjoying Funland and the boardwalk. There's a hose in the back yard for cleaning sand off your feet when you get back. The house itself is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with essentially everything you need to make a meal. Nice backyard for the dogs although if you have roamers you'll need to watch the gap in the back gate. There's an enormous fig tree in the back yard that had hundreds of ripe figs in late August. Property manager was easy to get in touch with. Check-in was easy and uneventful. Do note that you'll need to rent or bring linens with you -- sheets, towels, hand towels, etc. ##### Michele M.

No fault of anyone, but across the street there was insulation work being done everyday, very very loud so we couldn’t sit outside at all. My sisters and I had a really nice time. The king bed is super comfy! Steps are steep so be aware. We had a problem with the one lock, but got help from a nice man at the bar up the street. All in all great house, and good times! ##### Wendy K. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara V.
