    Perfect location in the heart of historic Lewes. Restaurants, stores, the museum, and lovely St. Peter's church are all an easy stroll from your doorstep. The apartment was flawlessly renovated to provide luxurious, modern comfort without compromising the building's historic charms, such as the exposed original brickwork and rafters. Thoughtful, welcoming touches are everywhere, from the plentiful books and treats, to the towels folded to look like entwined swans, to the local beers in the fridge. It was a delight to stay at the Rodney House. We will definitely return!

    The Rodney House was so comfy, so welcoming, and perfectly located. There were also a number of little things that really added to the experience: snacks in kitchen, local beers in the fridge, and a carafe of cold water in the bedroom. We'd been to Lewes plenty of times before, but this is the first time we stayed in town, and the Rodney House provided a great home base. Highly Recommend!

    Everything about this property was great! The owners, the cleanliness, the place itself, and they even had beer in the fridge when we arrived. 10 out of 10!

    We loved our stay in Lewes at this property. This is our second time staying here and we really like the location and the place. Its older and charming but has all the amenities you need. And the hosts make sure you have everything you need for a pleasant stay. Parking can be challenging, but it's worth it in the end to feel like you can stroll out to dinner or roll out of bed and grab a great cup of coffee and a window-look at some antiques, if that is your thing. We will return. (If I were looking to improve the place, I would try to add a few lights with wall switches. I am sure that is challenging with the older building, but that's something we noticed)

    We had an excellent stay at the Rodney house!! The history of the house is amazing, and the location was unbeatable - walking distance to beach and right on the main strip. We were able to find free parking a few blocks away that made things very easy!

    Spacious and lovely 1 Bedrm and 1 Bath on upper level.Lovely Full Kitchen and Stylish Furnishings. Really enjoyed the Books and Snacks. Two sets of stairs are featured in the listing. However, The ceiling heights were not shown and a bit low on the stairs so you have to DUCK to keep from hitting your head and steps were dark and difficult to see, especially when carrying luggage. Comfortable heating and easy check in and out.Would highly recommend, however disclosure of the low ceilings for Seniors. Parking nearby, however, no reserved area for this Apartment on busy street. Thank you hostesses, we really enjoyed our stay!

    This was one of my favorite bookings on VRBO. There are no negatives for this property. The location is right downtown in the middle of all the action. Pa4k your car and enjoy strolling anywhere you’d like to go. The historical nature of the property is outstanding. It was extremely clean and comfortable and they provide everything needed. It lacked nothing to make the stay comfortable. They were always quick to respond to any communications. The bed/ pillows offer a good night’s sleep. Highly recommend and I would gladly book again!

    Perfect location, right next door to Fairy Godmother. Nice check amenities, plenty of towels/necessities for our visit, even a beach bag, beach towels, flip flops and chairs. Only teenie tiny suggestion would be clips for bags in the utility drawer, otherwise these owners have thought of everything to make the stay so easy & fun. Thank you !!
