About this house rental

This cottage is charming, intimate, and beautifully decorated for a comfortable beach experience. It features exposed wood beams on both floors, some exposed brick, and white walls in the common areas, giving it the feel of an intimate cottage retreat.

The home comfortably sleeps 8 guests and offers three bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed. One of the queen bedrooms also features a sofa that converts into two single beds, providing additional sleeping flexibility. In the open area on the second floor, there is also a double futon, making this cottage an ideal space for families and groups.

This property features inviting outdoor living spaces, including a spacious deck running the length of the home and facing 209A Midland. The deck offers privacy fencing and plenty of room for grilling, dining, entertaining, hanging towels, and storing beach chairs, kayaks, and SUPs. The home also features a second raised porch at the side entrance, above which is a sunroom with windows on three sides. The sunroom is accessible to the two outdoor decks via a charming spiral staircase.

The outdoor areas are decorated with umbrellas and pillows in vibrant beach blues and turquoise, creating comfortable and relaxing spaces for outdoor living. The landscaped yard includes mature pine trees that provide additional privacy.

This home is situated on a private back lot off Midland Avenue, the desirable first cross street on Lewes Beach. Its location makes it the closest street to Dairy Queen, historic downtown Lewes, and Cape Henlopen State Park, which offers bike trails and access to the ocean.

Access to off-street parking is through the alley, with a private and quiet entrance to the home just a few steps away. Additional street parking is also available on Midland Avenue, with a private, landscaped path leading from the back unit to the street. Trash receptacles for both units are located on Midland Avenue.

An outdoor shower is located at the back of the house, complementing the two full indoor bathrooms and making it easy to rinse off after a day at the beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location of this rental is great, one of the only small-ish rentals near the bay beach left in Lewes. Dog friendly with a fee, but furniture and rugs were not clean/maintained well. Given the extra fee for a pet, I would expect that would pay for necessary additional cleaning but there was dog hair on all fabric surfaces, and the living room couch felt incredibly unclean; just saturated with pet dander. Not all windows had screens, which was a frustration since the temps were nice enough to have fresh air rather than a/c and we were overwhelmed by flies & fruit flies within a day. Beds were advertised as queen but were actually all full size (I checked b/c the sheets I brought did not fit). Kitchen was well stocked and good for cooking. The sunroom was really nice. Honestly I think this house is good as a home base for trips out to the beach, but not really a place I wanted to spend time relaxing in due to uncomfortable furniture (the dining stools and table were completely unmatched in terms of height, requiring boosters for adults) and cleanliness. The second house on the lot has its own outdoor space immediately adjacent to the dining/outdoor grill area.

The property pictures were accurate. The realtor takes take of renting the property. Our big complaint is that the property was dirty. There was even men’s underwear in the comforter. We got there and had to clean before we could unpack. After we saw the men’s underwear in the comforter we had to wash all of the comforters before we would use them, clearly they don’t wash any of the mattress pads or comforters.
