About this property

5 Cape Henlopen Dr - Close to the beach with a PRIVATE POOL!

This beautiful home with a Private Pool and an Elevator is ready for your vacation rental stay! Built just a few years ago, this home has all of the features one could hope for. A ground level game room with pool table, TV area and wet bar will be the favorite spot for the kids, teens or kids at heart. This floor also has two double cots for extra sleeping as well as a half bathroom.

The main level has a grand open living space with dining and a gourmet kitchen. The living room opens onto a large screened porch overlooking the private pool. Some bay views from this porch as well! There is also a Master Bedroom with private bathroom on this level.

The top floor features another three bedrooms (one with a private bathroom).

There are just so many areas in this home to spread out and relax or gather for a game night or wonderful meal. After a day on the beach (just behind the house and across the street) or a day lounging in your own pool, relax in the yard with a seat at the firepit.

This home is NOT pet friendly.

Amazing Home - Very Spacious

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: Very spacious living room, dining room and kitchen with an open floor plan. Both bedroom suites were humongous. Crazy amount of closet space, king size bed, double sinks in bathroom, shower and private balcony. There is a bathtub in one of the suite which is great for bathing young ones. Third bedroom with king size bed with double sink bathroom and shower just steps across the hall. Fourth bedroom with 2 beds. Basement was huge with workout equipment, pool table, full fridge, ice maker, couches, table, and more. The back side of the home facing the ocean has a screened in porch the width of the house. Sun deck and pool at ground level and a fire pit at the back. All this just steps away from the beach. We were all very pleased with the home and location. The beach is great for young children as the cape is shallow. Our 3 and 5 year olds loved playing in the water. We also enjoyed the local restaurants especially Touch of Italy. Get the cheesey bread.Property, inside and out, was immaculate. I highly recommend this home for your next beach vacation.

The pictures do not due this place justice. It was way bigger than we realized and was clean and rental agency is super nice. My family will definitely be going back.

Wonderful house - close to everything in Lewes!

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: This was a great house for our adult getaway with friends but would also be great for our kids and the whole family. Beautiful home with all of the amenities you could want, within a short walk of downtown, near the ice cream shop, food trucks, and Cape May Ferry. Easy access for us to drive on in the state park. We have stayed at dozens of houses in Lewes and this definitely ranks at the top and we will be back! Pool, fire pit, smart home with speakers everywhere, great open kitchen to the large living and dining area, pool table, exercise equipment! The owners did a great job thinking of it all

Lovely vacation home. The location near the public beach was a negative, but we knew this when we booked. All in all, this home had everything a family needs for a beach vacay. The pool put it over the top.

Jaded forever

Once you rent a house by the beach that has a pool and an elevator you can’t go back to a normal rental. Moving in and out took hardly any time with the elevator next to the interior garage door. Having a pool for the whole family to hang out at all when it was too hot for the little ones at the beach, made the trip. Great memories were made. Worth every penny.

Lewes beach

Beautiful home. Comfortable. For The money I think there could have been a few more extras……hangers in closets, no linens fee, clean grill without a threat of charge if I didn’t clean grill. If you aren’t a tech person you will get very frustrated trying to figure out how to turn on lights, fireplace etc. there is a book to explain and we forgives out half of it. I would stay again, but t have to be better prepared for items I know are not included.

Amazing Lewes Beach house right off the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: This house at 3A Cape Henlopen is incredible! It is top of the line -- beautifully decorated, amazing spaces for a family to spend time together and spread out, very comfortable sleeping arrangements, and awesome appointments & amenities. It's a "smart" house, and has huge TV in main living room and music too. My extended family gathered for Thanksgiving at this house. We hung out, took walks on the beach, watched football on the big screen and cooked together in the beautiful kitchen. Convection oven in the microwave cooked our turkey, leaving the oven for sides! We loved the fireplace! I can only imagine how awesome this house would be in the summer. Highly recommend!We had just one issue -- our sheets & towels weren't delivered so had to call. That said, the rental company came right out within an hour and delivered them.

Beautiful home in an excellent location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home in an excellent location, close to beach, shops, and park. Pool was a great bonus. Only downside was the gate in the backyard did not provide actual beach access; you have to walk around from the front of the house and down the side street to get to the beach, but it is still close. There were a few areas that were missed by the cleaning crew, and a broken faucet handle, otherwise it would have been 5 stars across the board.

Great house, great location; annoying linen policy

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: The house was lovely. Great location, spacious, and comfortable. We loved our stay. The management company’s linen policy is very frustrating, though. I would rather have just paid more overall for the house and had sheets and towels available when we arrived, like every other rental property we’ve stayed in before, rather than having to pay extra for them to eventually be delivered, and then have to put them on the beds ourselves (and remove them to place outside before leaving, but the rules insist that you still have to then also make the beds), and on top of that the towels themselves are thin and not even nice quality. The whole policy is cheap and offputting.

The water shut off on Christmas morning

We woke up on Christmas Morning to find that the water had been shut off. It took two hours to get it turned back on. We were travelling with our baby. Two weeks later, we learned that it took so long for the water to be turned back on because the owner's phone was off (the owner's app automatically shut off the water). We requested a partial refund and received $100. The house and location are nice enough, but we'd recommend against staying at this property.
