140 Henlopen Proptery/Lewes, DE

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall stay was great. The property had plenty of room to accommodate our 13 guests. Location was perfect with access to the beach and quick commute to friends. One of your guests had dog hair on there bed and we noticed dust and sand in the kitchen and living room area upon our arrival. Not a huge make our break situation. One thing I found a bit unfortunate was no hand soap throughout the house. There was plenty of dish soap from left overall guests and a pantry full of coffee essentials, trash bags etc. The linen package which I recall was 300 or 400 USD. We did not purchase the package and were fine bringing our own linens and towels. This was not a huge deal but don't understand when being charged a cleaning fee and had to purchase insurance of why this was not accommodate? Overall though it was a great weekend with friends and family.

140 Henlopen Shores Circle in a nutshell

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 beautiful and well-appointed. Fixtures appeared new. The kitchen appeared new. It is close to the beach. We all felt comfortable in this house. One problem, not created by the owner, was the 3 clogged toilets (out of 4) we experienced. Evidently this was caused by a cleaning solution that congealed in the drain. This problem was not fully solved until Wednesday of our vacation week. That was a bit of a bummer. Our rental agent couldn’t get a handyman out until Tuesday. And then we had another clog near midnight. The owner finally had a plumber come out to check the drains on Thursday. All clear. This is lovely home for a vacation. Our 12 people were comfortable. Our party experienced several local restaurants, especially sea food ones. All our party had good meals.

Great family house!

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: Loved being so close to Cape Henlopen - we rode bikes every day and played lots of frisbee golf. House is really nice and comfortable... not as posh as the mansions all around it seem to be, but pleasant. Bedrooms are quiet if the living room is noisy with family. Kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of tableware. Had a bit of trouble getting in because since the envelope had keys, I thought they would get us in, but they didn't work in the basement door. Then I realized the keychain had a code for the front door, and that took several tries to open. But realtor rep was nice about it. All in all, a great week!

Family time: down by the Bay

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: September turned out to be a beautiful time at the bay and the short walk from the house to the bay was perfect. This was our first family vacation with our grand baby so proximity to the beach was important. The house was lovely with adequate space for the 8 of use to spread put. We spent mornings on the rooftop, sipping coffee and watching the sunrise. The backporch was perfect for dinner each night. We cook and eat in so having a well stocked kitchen is important to us. There is room to grow in having newer cookware. We loved our time and would return again. Thanks so much!!

This home was exactly as describe on the site. We had 8 adult women in our group and the home was comfortable and we had plenty of room. The home is located in a great area. It's within walking distance to the beach and private pier. Cape Henlopen State park and the ferry to Cape May were close to the home.

Weekend trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We enjoyed our stay there. Three things...They offer a ping pong table and paddles, but no balls. We looked high and low but there were none. Two, there is a great fireplace, but the pilot wasn't turned on so even though it was 45 degrees out, we couldn't use it. The pictures show a long picnic table on the same porch as the patio furniture but there wasn't one. Picture should be updated. Otherwise, it is a great location. The house was very open and had the necessary things in the kitchen that we needed. Touch of Italy is a great little restaurant and highly recommended.

The great spring escape!

My coaching staff and I rented this beautiful home for a long weekend while we were coaching a tournament in Milford, DE. It was a short 30-min ride to the event complex and an amazing place for us to retreat in the evening with restaurants just a short drive away. The space was more than adequate for the 7 of us – almost everyone had their own room. Pros: big open kitchen, living room, dining area on the top floor, perfect for eating and gathering together; 2 large decks with outdoor seating, and 1 smaller deck with chairs for tanning (it was too cold to take advantage of these, but hopefully we'll be back another time!); check-in was easy, just a quick stop at the rental offices 5 minutes from the house, packet and keys were ready to be picked up when we arrived; Cons: the only complaint we had is that some of the mattresses were a bit hard. Still an overall great stay and great price.
