We were a group of four women who like to play bridge and shop and eat! We sometimes stay in hotels, but we wanted to each have separate bedrooms and this house has four bedrooms. It was a very pleasant surprise that the house not only had four bedrooms, but was spic and span clean And had anything we needed. It’s two blocks from LEWES shopping area and less than a mile to the beach. Their shed had chairs umbrellas, beach toys and bikes. Everything you would need for a family trip to the beach. We had good luck in that the weekend was in the 70s to 80 the last week in October. So had a great two days at the beach. Definitely would come again.Owner/manager responded to our questions immediately.

Incredible stay at the Pink Lady for a long weekend, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Just a short drive away from beach access at cape Henelopen state park. Also very walkable to downtown Lewes.
The home literally had everything you could need. All cooking supplies both inside and out (grill and grill utensils). Incredibly clean and parking for 3 cars on property was a plus! Plenary of room for a family of 8.
5.0
The house itself is in great shape, and the furnishings are much more substantial than we've often found in rental properties. The shed contained a lot of beach equipment--umbrellas and boogie boards, along with a wheeled basket for hauling them. It also had a bunch of bicycles.
Lewes itself is charming, and Cape Henlopen state park is a gem. In August, there was a lot of first-rate local produce available.

The house was gorgeous and had everything we needed - from extra pillowcases to a spare hairdryer to every kitchen utensil and gadget we could want. The extra bicycles and beach gear were a great plus!

The Pinklady is a lovely and very comfortable house with lots of room to spread out. We enjoyed a backyard barbecue and some of our family used the available bikes. The kitchen is particularly well furnished with quality appliances and pots and pans and anything you need to cook a meal. Our family enjoyed our time there.

This was our second time staying at the Pink Lady, and again, it was great. Plenty of room for our multi-generational family to spread out, the house was well stocked, and the location is wonderful-- walking distance to town, and close to the beach. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful, historic house that you can tell has been lovingly restored and now has all the amenities one could ask for and then some.
The location is fantastic too, a it's also a very short walk from downtown Lewes and other shopping. You could probably eat at a different place every night for a week and not walk more than 10 minutes.
5.0
This is a spacious home, lots of character, well-maintained and updated. The walk to town is easy and to bay beach is doable, very close to ocean beach by car, or bike maybe if you don’t mind the heat and travel light. Pretty yard but patio table was too small for our family and it was a heatwave so we enjoyed dinners in the all-season room. It is a busier street in front but side street is quiet with ample parking.

This was our first time renting in Lewes after many years of summer vacations in Rehoboth. The house is lovely and allowed us to have 10 people stay together comfortably without feeling crowded.
Some of us brought our own bikes and some used the bikes in the shed (was great that there are an assortment to choose from). We biked to the beach, to Rehoboth (on the junction breakwater trail), and took our bikes on the ferry to Cape May.
If you have people stay on the sofa in the family room (my 13 year old and her friend did), be aware that the first floor bathroom is inside the bedroom with twin beds and not directly accessible.
Kitchen was well stocked and we enjoy having meals at the house.
The house is close to town and it’s easy to walk or bike or drive in.
Overall we really enjoyed the “pink lady!”

Pink Lady in Lewes, DE
A lovely Victorian property that was well maintained and very convenient (easy walking distance) to town center. The house was well stocked with essentials. It was great not to have to immediately go to the store after arrival to get paper products or cooking or cleaning supplies.

Our stay at the Pink Lady was a family reunion with our adult children and their friends. The house was clean and all of the bedrooms and bathrooms were of ample size. There are 4 bedrooms with one of the bedrooms on the first floor which is perfect for guests who wish not to climb stairs. The house was furnished with all of the amenities as outlined in the listing (i.e. - plates, silverware, paper product, beach chairs, etc). We often walked to Lewes town center to enjoy the local restaurants and shops. Our visit was during the July 4th week so we were able to enjoy the local fireworks from Lewes and also watched the July 4th Do-Dah Parade from the large front porch of the house. Lewes Beach is a little bit of a hike (a little less than a mile) so taking a car to the beach was our mode of transportation. Beach parking was not an issue for us. We did run into one issue. The internet was down when we first arrived. Chris was responsive in trying to get the internet fixed over the July 4th weekend however, we were without internet for 2 days and the cell service was spotty when you are in the house. Overall we enjoyed our family reunion at the Pink Lady.

This is a lovely, well-maintained property with a fully equipped kitchen which makes meal prep a snap. It is an easy walk to the charming shopping/restaurant district, walking path, etc, and an easy drive or bike ride to the beach. Very peaceful, quiet and pretty.

We just spent a week at this wonderful home with the grandparents and our teens. It was lovely and wonderful. Christine is super great and communicative about all details. I feel like the actual house is better in person than the photos! We all loved it. Plenty of room for the family. Grandparents stayed in the 1st floor bedroom because they don't do stairs. Loved the house, incredibly well stocked, and it's a great location for all things Lewes. Clean and decorated beautifully. Everything was great. It made for a home base for us as we have been coming to Lewes for many many years. The whole family enjoyed. Thank you Christine for your hospitality with sharing your home for this rental!

Our group included kids age 3-5, grandparents and parents. The Pink Lady is spacious, clean and beautiful. Here are some of the everyday things we appreciated—lots of dishes, black-out curtains, some games and books for kids, big tables, basic cooking ingredients (oil, salt, pepper), full sized washer and dryer, sheets for beds included. Our kids loved watching a thunderstorm on the wrap around porch. We enjoyed Lewes beach and also drove to Rehoboth and Bethany. We would have loved to stay another week!

We visited Lewes to be with our children and grandchildren. They stayed out at the beach. We loved being closer in town. We really enjoyed biking the greenway. Your house was so comfortable for all 8 of us to gather.
A couple of suggestions:
We had a slightly handicapped person visit and he struggled to get into the house w/o an outside handrail.
The downstairs toilet seat is loose.
BUT everything else was perfect!

Our extended family had an excellent stay in this home. It is a truly comfortable and well furnished house. We enjoyed many meals on the patio and at the large indoor dining table in the sunroom. The formal dining room and loving room were also really useful and pleasant spaces to get together. We loved sitting on the porches and the really short walk, pleasant into town (5 to 10 minutes).
Christine was immediately responsive and helpful to any questions.
