Ready to host your family, the roomy 2,300 sq ft house has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus outdoor shower with hot/cold, comfortable living room (with a tropical tiki vibe), big kitchen with cozy breakfast table for your morning coffee, separate dining room, internet/Wi-Fi, two televisions, plus nice book library.

The Hula House has one of the largest fenced yards on Lewes Beach, and actually has TWO yards – a small side fenced yard plus a big rear yard fully enclosed by a 7-foot privacy fence, large deck, picnic table and umbrella, roomy outdoor shower (hot/cold), and a grassy area for sunning or play. ABSOLUTELY NO ANIMALS/PETS ARE PERMITTED ON PROPERTY.
The home's front porch is the perfect place for enjoying a lemonade while people-watching (front porch has two picnic tables, ideal for Maryland Blue Crab feasts!). While everyone on vacation wants to enjoy the many dining opportunities in the area, Guests will appreciate the spacious kitchen with electric stove/oven, fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee pod machine and dishwasher.
Great location, with a quick, barefoot, 1.5 block walk to the public beach or enjoy a short 5-block stroll to the canal with its restaurants, and charter fishing and sight-seeing cruises, OR walk to the historic downtown area just across the canal bridge and filled with many small boutiques and restaurants. Bike, or hop in your car, for a 1-mile drive down to the Cape-May-Lewes Ferry (a 90-minute ferry ride each way, and great for dolphin watching and just relaxing), or visit Cape Henlopen State Park and the many programs they offer for kids and adults alike, plus the waves of the Atlantic Ocean at the public beach!
For those Guests who don't want to worry about packing their own towels and linens, we work with an excellent local company that provides everything a vacationer might need - from beach towels and bed linens to bikes and beach chairs. Almost all of our Guests take advantage of this service and have let us know they appreciate the convenience and very reasonable fees, and quality of the linens/towels. Guests just notify us a couple days in advance of arrival if they want to rent linens/towels and we will put them in touch.
We strive to consistently provide our Guests with a comfortable, clean, and enjoyable stay. The Hula House is Hawaiian-tropical-eclectic, clean, relaxed and fun, and is the perfect place for vacationers who hold the Aloha spirit in their soul.
Absolutely NO animals are permitted due to allergies of Owners, and to allow others with similar allergies to enjoy their stay. Violations will result in forfeiture of security deposit, plus additional fees for deep cleaning, etc.
No smoking or vaping inside, or near house open windows or doors.

Mahalo for considering our home for your Lewes vacation, and we look forward to your stay!
Wonderful location. House is as described. Clean and has what you need to cook and get started with paper products, etc.
The location of this property is fabulous as advertised. The outdoor space was lovely and comfortable. We don’t plan to book again. The house was dusty and had a strong dust smell. I believe the main source was all the Hawaii decorations tchotchkes or the old upstairs carpet. The beds were comfortable but the comforters were stained. The owner had a lot of rules posted throughout the house and throughout the l booking process. Sometimes you rent from someone you can tell gets a lot of joy from sharing their home with others. This was not one of those times.
We had a lovely time at the Hula House in late August. The home was conveniently close to the bay beach as well as the quaint town area. We all enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evenings. We hope to return soon!
The house was clean, comfortable, spacious and well appointed. And the loctaion -- just a short walk from the beach -- is unbeatable! A perfect beach getway! The owners were friendly and super responsive to us. We'll be back next year for sure!
Great location, right on Savannah road which is the main road going to the beach in Lewes. Only a couple of blocks from the beach. Easily walkable to the beach, Dairy Queen, convenience store, the marina, and downtown. Nice front porch for relaxing and people watching as people come and go to the beach. Near Bay Avenue, great for bike rides. Ideal if you have someone is has limited mobility since there is only a couple small steps into the home and a downstairs bedroom with a bathroom. Nice private patio in the back, great for morning coffee. Large kitchen with all the necessities and washer dryer.
This property is very kitschy, the decor never wavers from the Hawaiian theme and it’s very cute. We had everything we needed and a short (very) walk to Lewes bay beach and Dairy Queen. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will most definitely book again. Thank you Annette for sharing your house!
The hula house is super cute and worked very well for our friends vacation. The fenced backyard was a must for 4 under 7! Walking to the beach was a breeze and the outdoor shower was amazing at keeping the sand at bay Annette was very prompt and communicative with any issue or concern we had!
My friends and I enjoyed the Hula house. Pictures do not do it justice. There are so many fun details and it is really clean and well maintained. Location was perfect. It was a short easy walk to the restaurants/shops along the canal and also to the beach on the bay. The bay beach was a pleasant surprise - beautiful sand and not crowded. Def would recommend for a long weekend or a quick getaway.
We have enjoyed staying at the Hula House the last several years for our annual beach vacation. It has accommodated two families very nicely, and the location is perfect.
I'm recovering from a very extensive back surgery, so I have to use a cane. my friend's 12yo daughter also uses a cane. we were able to easily walk to the beach with our canes, the place was THAT close. saved so much hassle packing everything into the car and finding parking, and of course it saved us some money as well! the home was absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. it had a very nice size yard with a sturdy privacy fence, which was really nice, we spent a lot of time outside. the owners, in my experience, well the one I interacted with -- she was amazing and we started chatting on all kinds of subjects ? when something accidentally broke, I was extremely nervous to tell her but she was very understanding. (please don't go out of your way to test this out though! it was genuinely an accident on our part!) there was plenty of room for our troupe of three adults and three children. the bed i slept on in the downstairs bedroom was amazingly comfortable, and I often have a really hard time with strange beds. there was room for all of us to gather, and also for us to get space from each other when we wanted it. i would DEFINITELY return to this home and i hope to come back again in future summers! I highly recommend this home and its hosts ? we had a great experience and the home we stayed in was a HUGE part of that. thank you so much to the owners for letting us stay!
This property is clean and the owner is accommodating, allowing us early check-in and also late check-out (which we couldn't take advantage of). The house has everything you need to do some light cooking and the fenced backyard was great for our 3 year old. The outdoor shower works well for rinsing off after the beach. It is a short walk to town, which we did many times. Good family spot!
I'll do my best to present the facts as objectively as possible. Despite the great location close to the beach and convenient, large, sunny, private backyard, we will not be staying at Hula House in the future. A mislabeling and/or delayed update of the calendar on Vrbo created confusion during the booking process and resulted in a significant increase in the total cost of our stay when I booked about a year in advance. The host informed us of those rates being 'off-season' after the fact. There is a good amount of topless island girl artwork throughout the home - not a problem for us, but every family is different. There was a constant stream of ants in the kitchen - we learned the hard way not to leave fruit on the counter. Small, old grill did not spark/light. There was some broken outdoor furniture. Dishwasher did not work for the duration of our stay. After we had checked-out, apparently the cleaning crew came through and 'unlocked' it with the push of a button. No help from the hosts to resolve the dishwasher issue when we informed them of it early on during our stay: no suggestions and nobody on call to come troubleshoot, as the hosts live far away. Lots of rules, including a requirement to provide names, emails, and dates of visits if anybody outside of our family of four was going to spend a night or two in the large house. For example, in order for my parents to visit with us, the hosts needed their names and email addresses and dates of stay. Absolutely no more than (8) people are allowed to stay in the home, which is fair enough, but be prepared to provide a detailed list of all of your full-duration and drop-in guests. Air conditioning is provided by window units only, and the hosts have posted notes at each unit indicating the temperature and setting that each unit must be stay at for the duration of your stay. There is no ice maker so be sure to pick up a few bags unless you want to make it yourself with the (2) trays in the freezer. There is no garbage disposal. The stove is electric (in case you prefer cooking with gas); we did not use it.
Hulu house is a great vacation house. Walking distance to many things and a great front porch to sit and watch the beauty around you. My mother celebrated her 89th birthday there and the house was perfect for her to get around in. I Recommend Hulu house to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy.
