THE HOUSE
Located on a quiet kid-friendly cul-de-sac with minimal car traffic, 8 Sandpiper can fit four to six cars in its driveway with additional parking for two cars available on-street. Once you arrive, each guest will be welcomed with new plush mattresses, free wifi, TVs with a full cable package as well as USB charging ports in select areas of the house. Enjoy the contemporary design of this new-construction beach home (Built in 2013) including wide-plank white-washed hardwood floors, walls of windows, more than 800 square feet of deck and a tankless water heater so your group will never run out of hot water!

THE BEACH
To get to the bayfront beach all you have to do is walk out of the cul-de-sac where 8 Sandpiper is located and up to the bay. This is all within the neighborhood and should take about 5-10 minutes. There are no major roads to cross, however you will need to watch for cars within the neighborhood. If you want to go to the ocean, we suggest Cape Henlopen State Park which is right next to Cape Shores which is about a 5 minute drive. Note, there is an entry fee to get into Cape Henlopen, unless you ride your bike or walk into the park!

THE KITCHEN
Enjoy preparing a family meal from the spacious bright white kitchen with a large serving peninsula, granite countertops and brand-new stainless steel appliances. A dining room table for 10 fits the entire family for dinner or enjoy a crab feast al fresco on the large screened-in porch which seats 8 comfortably. A separate bar sink installed in the peninsula makes preparation of cocktails easy and the open layout ensures the cook is still connected to all of the action happening in the great room and dining area.

THE BEDROOMS
With five bedrooms and a large den with pull-out sofa, a total of six private rooms (all with double window exposures) are ready to comfortably host your group at 8 Sandpiper. Best of all, none of the rooms share walls for your ultimate privacy and peace of mind! Just unpack your bags for restful sleep in each spacious bedroom and enjoy the cooling comfort of ceiling fans in each room.

THE FIRST FLOOR
Four bedrooms on the first floor feature one king bed, three queens and one twin bed. Two junior primary suites have attached bathrooms with shower stalls, granite counters and walk-in closets. Junior primary suite number one is outfitted with a queen bed and attached balcony with peek-a-boo bay views and a private sitting area. The second junior primary suite features a king bed and offers a wide sliding glass door with access to the lower rear deck for a quiet, shaded area to read or relax. Bedroom three is appointed with a queen bed featuring two large windows, flooding the room with light. The fourth bedroom on the first floor sleeps a total of three, also with two large windows. A third spacious hallway bathroom with granite counters and tub complete the first floor. The first floor hallway also features access to the front and back decks and the laundry facilities making washing towels and bathing suits a breeze.

THE SECOND FLOOR
Walk up the wide oak stairs to the second floor to the huge open-concept kitchen, living and dining areas perfect for large group gatherings. Walk out to the large rear deck through one of three sliding glass doors that line the great room to enjoy the sunshine and bay breezes. Tucked behind the kitchen, the den features a flat-screen smart TV, DVD player and plush sectional seating for watching TV and is perfect for popcorn and a movie. A half-bath is also located across from the den for easy access from anywhere on the second floor. Finally, enter to the primary bedroom suite featuring a king bed, large walk-in closet and beautifully designed primary bathroom. The primary suite bathroom features a custom stone tiled shower stall with bench seat and granite double sink vanity. The primary bedroom is the only bedroom on the second floor, however the den is equipped with a queen pull-out sofa and pocket door to stand-in for a sixth bedroom if needed.

PAPER PRODUCTS
All guests must bring their own paper products including paper towels, toilet paper, etc.

    We loved our stay at this vacation home in Lewes. The house was spacious, it had everything we needed and was very close to the bay and community pool! The kids had a blast and we would stay here again.

    This is a very nice house with a 5 minute walk to the beach. The beach is not crowded at all. The neighborhood is next to Cape Henlopen State Park on one side and the Cape May - Lewes Ferry on the other side. It is a 1 mile drive to downtown Lewes. Our family of 8 was very comfortable staying there. There is a ton of space, both indoor and outdoor. The screened porch on the top floor was our favorite spot. I highly recommend 8 Sandpiper!

    Plenty of space, great layout, kitchen well appointed (actual sharp knives!). Fantastic garage area with enough room for 4 cars shaded under the home, and 2 more in the driveway. Great proximity to beach and Henlopen park, but far from town. We’re walkers, and did the walk to and from town anyway (1.5 - 2 mi each way, depending on destination), so that makes it less accessible to walk places, kinda forces you to drive more. We were disappointed the pool was under renovation, as that was most of the reason to select that property (4-8 yo’s with less beach tolerance than adults). But positive note, last minute found one of the kids did a big no-no and stained carpet with ’slime’. Kelly was great and y ty hey were able to clean it up without charging us or damage insurance.

    My family and I had such a nice stay! The house was clean, spacious and a perfect location. We loved the bay beach which is walking distance (5 mins!) from the house. It was perfect for my 18 mo, his first trip to the beach :)

    Very nice property. Would be nice to have a TV in the kitchen dining area. That way the family room could be used as a kid room. Couches in both rooms close to needing . I know not always easy as a rental. Enjoyed the stay and would rent again. Thank you.

    We were five couples visiting Lewes for the first time and loved it despite Hurricane Ian. The house was perfect with space to gather as a group; also plenty of space for privacy. The kitchen was very well stocked, making it easy for us to prepare our gourmet club meal one night. We will definitely stay here again.
