Elegant Victorian w/Carriage house on Canal
Lewes license # 2300190

Had a wonderful stay. It’s our 4th time at this property in historic Lewes and we just love it. Always pleasant to sit on the porch and read something fun from the library, ride bikes to the Cape and of course hit the beach. The house is well appointed with everything you need for a great beach stay. Thank you for sharing the home.

We loved staying in downtown Lewes. We could walk three buildings away for ice cream and the liquor store was right next door! Shops, restaurants, and three (maybe more) historic sites were within two blocks. In spite of this, the location wasn’t noisy. Most of our group used their bikes to travel the short distance to Cape Henlopen to swim. The family with little kids, rented a trailer for their bike and pedaled a mile to Savannah Beach where there is calm water and a guard.The house itself is comfortable but not precious. The kitchen is well-equipped and easy to cook in. And did I forget the lovely garden, with gas grill and large dining table?And the beautifully decorated carriage house?There is a lot to like at this property.

This property was perfect for our family of 10, plenty of room and really nicely appointed. The location is perfect for accessibility to the shops of Lewes, the beach and biking to Cape Henlopen State park! It is really a gem. However, be forwarned that no towels or bedding is included with the rental. This is a detail that should be included in the listing but for some reason is not, and several of us traveling from afar found it quite inconvenient to have to provide our own.

We love staying here!!

We were three families and a total of 12 people. The house and carriage house were very comfortable and spacious. Walking and shopping downtown was easy and fun. We spent mornings and evenings on the front porch where the owners had thoughtfully left a fan to supplement the ceiling fan so mosquitoes were not a problem. We loved every minute of our stay here!

Beautiful house with lovely wood floors & tall ceilings and a charming carriage house and courtyard. We had a wonderful stay, the house is equipped with everything and in such a great location. We will be back!

Dirty. Showers stalls have mold; toilet at checkin filthy, carpets not vacuumed, refrigerator not completely wiped down, stainless steel appliances streaked. Blinds in front bedroom were thin bamboo slats that let the sun in and light from street at night. Most disappointing was their attitude regarding fleas in their basement (since July 11; we checked in September 2) where pesticide company came and sprayed and they NEVER followed up to see if fleas were exterminated. The washer and dryer were in the basement and I was informed “DON’T GO IN BASEMENT” and if I did I would be responsible for having entire home and carriage house retreated which would be $1,000. We had ten adults and two children stay the week and was a huge inconvenience not having laundry appliances. I requested them to have basement rechecked to see if the fleas were gone and it was Labor Day weekend when we arrived so this didn’t happen until Tuesday 9/5 after constantly going back and forth with them to check. I HAD TO BE AT HOUSE TO MEET TECHNICIAN, show him where door was (outside) to get inside, etc. Fleas were still there and he had to retreat. I informed the owners that I felt the entire burden was placed on me even though they thought reimbursing me later for going to laundry mat (which I refused to do on my vacation). I realize that things happen and would have been more understanding if they were more sympathetic, apologetic and trying everything they could to get the fleas eradicated!

Well stocked kitchen, plenty of room. The carriage house was super for the little family with kids. Location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. Sadly there were no laundry facilities but we adapted.

Everything in the description for the house is accurate. It is a beutiful house with a perfect proximity to all that downtown Lewes has to offer. We stayed with another family and had 4 young kids and a dog between us. The house never seemed too small. Between the great outdoor area and the separate carriage house there is plenty of room. Next door to the liquor store and Ice cream parlor, so awesome for adults and kids! The owner William responded to any questions or concerns that I had in a timely manner. Communication was awesome. I hope to stay here again!

My family and I really loved this property. Full of charm, spectacular outdoor spaces/gardens, perfect location — steps away from the shops in Lewes. While you are right next to the shopping, the yard does feel like a private oasis. The house is one of the historic properties so it feels a little rustic in some ways, but for me that just was part of the charm. All in all, highly recommend!
