About this property

ZEN Coastal in Lewes Beach!

If being outdoors is high on your list of requirements for a perfect vacation, ZEN Coastal in Lewes Beach is right for you!

Amazing home with a beautiful fenced-in outdoor space, multiple decks and balconies, and a relaxing Japanese garden.

Perfect location as it is five houses away from the sandy beach and only a short stroll to several restaurants and downtown Lewes.
Private parking for 6 cars. Driving? Optional!

Bring your dog along (limit: 1 dog under 50 lbs - must be housebroken, non-destructive, and please, no excessive barking. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, please don't leave her behind – we have good relations with our neighbors, and we’d like to keep it that way.)


The Space:

The garden invites to explore. A swing and several loungers on the balconies lure to linger. Relax as the sun and moon rise and set. Listen to the chirping of the birds and the sound of the wind. Just sit and breathe. There will be many a ZEN moment to behold.

Three levels of living offer enough room to entertain and sleep 12 (1 King, 3 Queen beds, and 2 sets of Bunkbeds (single over single)). Each bedroom has its own TV, each bunk bed has a dedicated reading light and USB outlet for charging your electronic device.
The covered outdoor area offers a TV, a ping pong table, corn hole boards and other outdoor games, and several seating areas. A foot shower and the shower room come in handy when returning from the beach. - Please note: There are two full bathrooms (second and third level), one half bath (third level), and a seasonal indoor shower room (shower only!) on the ground level.

Indoors, the living room is equipped with a 75-inch 4K QLED TV and the family room with a 75-inch 8K QLED TV, perfect for gaming.
If reading is your thing, browse our collection and cuddle up in one of the many cozy places waiting for you.

If you prefer cooking or baking, the well-appointed gourmet kitchen with brand-new cook- and dinnerware is waiting for you, and so is the gas grill with dedicated gas line. With 8 bar stools around the counter, the kitchen offers plenty of seating. And a large dining area will welcome everyone to gather around the beautiful table to share a meal together, as elaborate or simple as you like.

Why ZEN Coastal in Lewes Beach?
With sandy beaches and soothing waves of the Bay almost at your doorstep, no need to drive or find parking. The walk to the beach is short and sweet, even with little people. The beach is perfect for relaxing, building castles, collecting shells, and more. A true gem for young and old and everyone in between. If you are looking for the surf of the ocean, Cape Henlopen State Park is less than 2 miles away, and it is free if you ride your bicycle in. If you have not yet explored Cape Henlopen, it should be on your bucket list! Especially in the mornings you have a good chance of watching dolphins swim by. It truly is one of our favorite places on Earth!

We look forward to hosting you and your loved ones to enjoy the exceptional character of this one-of-a-kind beach home!

Please note:

Guests will need to bring along (or rent) linens and towels for kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and beach, as well as supply necessary paper products. The cleaning fee and the pet fee are incurred on a weekly basis.

Great family getaway

Our family ranges from 10 years old to late 70's and we all had something to do in this lovely home. We enjoyed the beach and the local area. We are a family that loves to cook together and this house had the perfect kitchen for us; spacious and very well-equipped. Everyone was happy that we chose to stay at Zen Coastal.

Outstanding time at Zen Coastal

Zen Coastal is a wonderful property in a great location in Lewes. Easy walk to the beach and into town. The property was as advertised and had more than all we needed to have a great week. Anka, the host, was easy to communicate with and answered all questions promptly. The Ping Pong table was a big hit with our crew! Would definitely stay at Zen Coastal in the future.

Lovely Lewes Home

We Rented Zen Coastal to stay with both my children, their spouses, and our two grandsons, 3 and 7 months, for a family wedding. Directions for check in and check out were clear, and the home was VERY well appointed for a family stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and the bedrooms quiet and comfortable. I was unfamiliar with the linen rentals, but Anka connected me to a local firm that made the process easy and seamless. We loved the short walk to Lewes beach, only a block down a quiet street! We would definitely enjoy a longer stay during summer season, but really, Lewes had plenty to do over this mid-October weekend. Guests can't go wrong booking Zen Coastal!

Excellent property in a truly convenient location to the beach, restaurants, and shops. What I enjoyed the most were the decks/porches. I had choices to be in or out of the sun or wind with comfortable seating options. Very peaceful environment.

Fun Family Trip

We loved our week in Lewes. The location of the house was a short walk to the beach. We liked how private the house was even though there were houses on both sides. The house was very comfortable, accommodating, and spacious. We were very happy to have the use of beach chairs and beach wagon.

Zen Stay

We were very impressed by this house! It was beautiful, clean, close proximity to the beach and restaurants, etc. It had everything we could possibly need, and then some. There was tons of space. There were all sorts of activities to do there without leaving home. We will definitely be coming back and bringing our kids and grandkids in the future!

Fantastic house, perfect location!

Staying at The Zen Garden was a lovely way to spend the weekend in Lewes Beach! Anka was a wonderful host from booking to check-out, providing great information, clear easy instructions for the house and a warm and welcoming environment: The house did not disappoint- perfectly well laid out for two families, with upgrades all over and tons of options for indoor and outdoor relaxation, games and eating. Plus the location is perfect- a 2-minute walk to the beach! We hope to be back for a full week next summer! Thanks Anka!

So much space!

This home well surpassed our family’s expectations. There were spaces for all 6 of us, but also areas and balconies for one or two of us. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and included high quality appliances. Beds were very comfortable and the house was quiet. A very short walk to the beach was especially appreciated as we had a toddler in tow. I would highly recommend this property.

Find your zen at zen coastal

Zen coastal was a beautiful and spacious home. Prime location to the beach and loaded with all the amenities you can imagine. The kitchen was truly outfitted to make any meal you can imagine and to serve it beautifully. Bedrooms were large and bathrooms were updated and spacious. There is a lot of common space to hang out on each floor including the outdoor space on the first floor. They are many decks to enjoy the sunset or a cup of coffee in the morning. Overall this was a wonderful property. Anka is an amazing host, responsive and caring.

Amazing accommodations very close to the beach!

This is a beautiful home with amazing outdoor spaces and an outstanding kitchen - so well -equipped. I cook most nights and was amazed at the number of items to use. The host had thought of EVERYTHING for the kitchen, and more. It was also super easy to walk to the Lewes beach area and we loved the proximity. One issue - the listing says 3.5 baths and it was really 2.5, plus the outdoor shower. It would be helpful to have a bathroom accessible in the hallway on the level that you enter the house on. Thank you for a great visit!

Summer 2023

I can’t say enough about our stay at the Zen Coastal in Lewes! The house was everything and more than pictured in the photos! The house was immaculate and extremely well taken care of. The layout perfectly suited our party of six ( plus a one year old ) with room to spare. The host was so accommodating and responded quickly to every request! Our favorite part was the proximity to the beach access, allowing trips back and forth during the day with ease! We made meals each night in the stunning kitchen and enjoyed each others company while cooking! We cannot wait to return to this stunning home and town with all it has to offer! Thank you Zen Coastal

Perfect location - next to beach and short walk to town!

Amazing home and host! Anka really made us feel welcome to her home. She quickly responded to our texts to help us get acclimated. The house is spacious and beautifully furnished with coastal decor throughout. The kitchen was truly gourmet with high end everything. Also well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, serving dishes, spices... The house was wonderful and had so many spaces to interact all together or you could easily find your own Zen space with multiple sunrooms and decks. We brought our dog and Anka left a water bowl out for Rex. We appreciated all the initial paper goods throughout the house taking pressure of the initial shopping run. We made use of the freight elevator to assist with getting our bags to the third floor. This was our third trip to Lewes and by far this was the best location. Zen Coastal is in the perfect location close to the beach and a short walk to town.

Fantastic property

The house is even better than advertised. The house itself is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, and every small detail is well thought out. Even the cookware is extensive, new, and high end. We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. The bay beach is just a block away and perfect for our toddler and senior citizen parents. We rented a kayak and Quest delivered it straight to the beach and picked it up at the end of our stay. Easy! Cape Henelopen State park has a fantastic ocean beach and the bike trail to get there starts just across the street from the house. It was easy enough for our 11 year olds to bike. All in all it was a terrific trip and I highly recommend renting this house!

Perfect — and so much more.

My husband and I were there with our 3 adult sons, their wives and our 2year old granddaughter. Everything about the house was ideal for our family. There was so much space to spread out. We never felt closed into a tight spot. The kitchen was amazing. Everything is top notch. My kids cooked, grilled, and we all managed to cook work together with plenty of space. Honestly, it’s the nicest kitchen I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. We enjoyed crabs on the outdoor table and she had all we needed including mallets and utensils and heavy paper for the table. The setting is beautiful and very close to the beach and restaurants. The porches and rooms were made for comfort and relaxation. It was so nice to be together in this wonderful home. I hope we can come again.

Zen Coastal praises

This was the most beautiful house I have ever staying in and I have traveled a lot! I could go on and on about all that the house was, and how very hard it was to leave, but let me just say it has everything you could possible need in every space. Sun rooms and porches abound, plenty of bedrooms, all amenities. But most important to me and all my visitors and guests: the peaceful ambience, the beauty as we walked up the stone driveway and in the front door, the cicadas singing at night, the easy walk to the beach. Honestly, it's hard to know where to stop. And, the owner was always accessible, very helpful and seemed to actually enjoy having guests in her carefully composed home. I am trying to put together a visit for next year and everyone who came this year is asking if I've got it settled yet. A stunning place.

A wonderful get away

Our family would highly recommend visiting this property! The home was beautiful and had everything we needed - and more. My favorite part was the open kitchen/family room. The kitchen was gorgeous and was outfitted with every possible kitchen item and accessory. Anka was so helpful and reached out to me once we arrived, to see how everything was going. She was available throughout the week to answer any questions we had about the house. The house was a five minute walk from the beach and was in a great location. The beach by the house was beautiful - calm and peaceful, and you can bring your dog early in the morning or in the evening. The office was terrific for being able to do some work - I wish I had a space like it in my own home. Finally, there were lots of spaces for my family to get away and be by themselves for a while, along with large spaces for us to all be together. If we travel back to Lewes, I would definitely look to stay at this property again! The only thing that I would suggest for changes would be to change the online listing from 4 bathrooms to 2 full bathrooms, one 1/2 bath, and an outdoor shower. It didn’t impact our stay, but it could be helpful information for future visitors.

About the host

Hosted by Anka

Host profile image
Hi, I am Anka, host of the ZEN Coastal.

My husband and I live in the DC Metro area, and we fell in love with Lewes a few years back during one of our many visits to the Eastern Shore.

We finally found our perfect beach house, and we hope you enjoy the ZEN Coastal and Lewes as much as we do!

Happy travels,
Anka

Why they chose this property

The ZEN Coastal is the perfect beach house to be shared with family and friends.
It is just steps away from the sandy beach, and in walking distance to nearby restaurants, shops, and downtown Lewes.

What makes this property unique

Lets start with the off-street private parking area for 6 cars. Then there is a fenced-in backyard with a firepit, the covered first floor with a TV, a ping pong table, and several seating areas. Catch the breeze and some shade during the hot summer days.

There are four dining areas - two inside (kitchen and dining on the third floor), and two outside (the first and third floor).

The home is furnished with comfort and serenity in mind. The three levels offer ample space for multiple generations, and the gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with (almost) everything, from an air fryer to a zester.

There are two full baths (2nd and 3rd floor), one half bath (3rd floor), and one shower only bathroom (1st floor)
