About this property

829 Savannah - Beach Retreat in Historic Lewes available for 3 Night Minimum

Adorable and conveniently located studio apartment in the heart of Lewes, perfect for couples and biking aficionados. Located in a quaint dog-friendly neighborhood, this studio is steps away from the bike path through Cape Henlopen and walking distance to cafes, shopping, and breweries. Wake up and have your morning coffee on the patio then venture out to the beach—both the bay and ocean are less than 2 miles away—then take advantage of the large outdoor shower. The guest cottage is light and bright and features a Queen Murphy bed, large closet, and washer & dryer in garage, and is outfitted with thoughtful touches to make you feel at home. Take advantage of live concerts in the nearby park every Tuesday evening in the summer and the Lewes Farmers market which is directly across the street in the off-season.

Lewes Done Right

This is our second stay! We recently stayed at this beautiful beach rental with an outside shower and I have to say, it was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, we feel like we are at home. The outside shower was a game-changer for us. After a long day at the beach, it was so refreshing to rinse off under the warm water and feel the sun on our skin. It added an extra touch of luxury to our vacation and made us feel like we were truly living the beach life. The rental itself was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary appliances and utensils, and the murphy bed makes it so cozy and inviting. We especially loved the outdoor seating area where we could enjoy meals al fresco and enjoy the peace amd quiet. The location of the rental was perfect - just a few blocks on our bicycles to the shops, restaurants, and attractions. We loved being able to easily access everything we needed without having to drive. We love Lewes!!!

Cute apartment in back of owner's home

The efficiency apartment is on top of a carafe in the rear of the main house. There is not a lot of outdoor privacy or parking as this is shared with owners. However, the apartment was clean, cute & comfortable - the Murphy bed did surprise me as comfortable. The town of Lewes is approximately a 15min walk & the beach is a short drive.

Lewes Labor Day Weekend

We arrived after hours at the rental agency, sadly our keys and rental packet were not available. We called and received an immediate response. Our over the garage apartment looked exactly like the pictures, we made the bed and went to grab a late night bite. The location was perfect! We rode our bikes to the beach, the trails and Rehoboth. The access to the garage for bike storage and the washer and dryer was so convenient. We will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay. The biggest selling point is being within walking distance to the town of Lewes. The place was clean and well appointed. B.H. people were very nice. The outside furniture was not clean, so could not be used.

nice place - note all fees before booking

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the good: generally speaking the place is nice and in good condition, in a nice neighborhood, and easy walking distance from downtown if you choose to do that. it was equipped everything we needed and our one limited bit of contact with the property owner was pleasant. there was a small issue with the cleanliness of one area of the apartment, the host graciously refunded the cleaning fee - no complaints on that. the not so good: pet fees were not fully disclosed in the vrbo listing prior to booking, there was a fee for the first pet and a second fee for a second pet which did not make sense nor was it specifically stated prior to paying a deposit. there is a property manager fee that should have been refunded as the property manager gave us the wrong keys to the rental then took over an hour to get the correct ones to us. rental insurance purchased for $70 was required unless you put up $2000 cash, that was not disclosed prior to paying a deposit or expected.for our 3 night stay the total of the fees (pet 1, pet 2, cleaning, property manager, rental insurance, service fee, and tax on it all) was 50% of the $1600 we paid for 3 nights. that is not a great proposition. the proportional split of fees to actual rental/lodging cost would have been better had they been spread over the cost of a full week stay; although only nominally better since the service fee is % based and would have been higher for a longer stay.

Booking coordination headache

First of all the property is amazing everything was five stars there. The reason for the not so good review is the challenging communication that was an anticipated on my part when booking. This booking is managed by Berkshire Hathaway and the process for payment, check in, check out, and amenities like linens etc. was a headache. Just be advised that if you book through Vrbo you won’t be coordinating everything through VRBO it will all be done by a third-party through email, including payments.

Overpriced

Decent location, small studio right under the garage roof, which means the a/c has to run all the time and it's loud, as well as the fridge, which is right near the bed, making it impossible to sleep without earplugs. Pet fur was everywhere and it smelled.

A Perfect Escape!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My friend and I, (along with my pup), stayed in this lovely little studio apartment for 3 nights. It is exactly as advertised. The space was perfect, and definitely roomy enough for us. The owners left a detailed notebook of helpful hints regarding the space, as well as suggestions and recommendations for eateries and activities. We also made use of the patio and backyard garden space. You can't ask for a better location, a quick walk (and even faster drive into town and beach areas). A great girls getaway, we would certainly return! (Side-note: The members of the rental agency were also friendly and accommodating!)

Pet Friendly Beach Cottage

Great little rental property! It was great for us as it was pet friendly and we brought our pup along for his first beach trip. Other than some dust accumulation the property was clean and well managed, they had everything you needed on site - washer, dryer, kitchenette. It is in walking distance of downtown Lewes - shopping and restaurants. We had a great time.

Stairs in bad need of repair

I honestly cannot believe the property owners are not required to replace the outside stairs and handrail leading up to the property. They are decrepit and pose major hazard. Also rental is above garage and the garage stinks of gasoline and mold. I stored my bike in there and literally almost passed out from the smell. The property owner had the automatic garage door open several times to take out his garbage and it’s annoyingly loud. The window air conditioning unit is old and extremely loud and annoying. The Murphy bed feels like sleeping on concrete. Seriously? I’d like a partial refund.

Wonderful retreat!

This beach cottage is a true gem! The space is beautifully decorated and very functional with lots of natural light. My only two complaints are the water pressure was a little low in the shower and the Murphy bed wasn’t quite as comfortable in my opinion as other reviews have stated. Still, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property owners were very nice and we appreciated being able to store our rental bikes in the downstairs garage. The location is close to everything. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and a local grocery store. We also loved riding our bikes on the local trails, to the beach, and through Cape Henlopen State Park. Ashley (one of the owners) did a fabulous job putting together a vacation guide for guests that we relied on heavily for tips on the best local eateries, shops and places to go in town. The kitchenette is stocked with a Brita filter, toaster oven, Keurig coffee maker, sugar and creamer, hot plate, pots/pans and many utensils for meal prep. We mainly ate out but enjoyed having coffee and breakfast we prepared for ourselves on some mornings. This place is a fabulous retreat and I can’t wait to return for another stay!
