Ferry Goers locale, near shopping and short jaunt to Beach

What a cute cottage and wonderfully decorated! The expanding table to serve as both a desk and a dining table was a genius space saver/multitasker. Another great addition was the Bluetooth tower speaker to enjoy your own playlists. Again...a well thought out cottage, and kudos for the little touches like the makeup area complete with a hook for hanging a hairdryer (brought my own, but there is a hair dryer here for your use) and the bedside sound machine. Fantastic a.m. coffee sitting on the front porch rockers with the cool breeze and lake view!

Cozy Cottage

I highly recommend this property and location. The cottage is gorgeous and has all the amenities of home. We went to Cape Henelopen during the day enjoyed both the ocean and the bay views. Spent time on the boardwalk in Rehoboth as well. We also enjoyed sitting out on the front porch and enjoying morning time together.

Absolutely Beautiful!

We had a fabulous stay in the cottage! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Location was amazing and within minutes of everything in town. On a quiet street with peace and tranquility. We came to Lewes for our Honeymoon and loved it so much - We plan on making it our yearly vacation spot!

Great cottage for vacation. We stayed here with four people and enjoyed everything about this house. It's Easy to get to as it is just off route 1. Very clean, comfortable and quiet. I recommend this for any family of four or smaller.

Cozy Cottage

My family and I have stayed here for the last 5 years and we love it. My boys are always sad to leave. The owner is always helpful and kind and the house is always spotless. We will continue to return to this place that we love and which holds a lot of great memories.

Nice cottage

Perfect size for two people. Traffic noise is definitely an issue if you want to sit outside. We had to turn the fan on upstairs to drown out the traffic noise in order to sleep. Location is convenient to downtown Lewes. Cute cottage.

Always an amazing stay!

I have stayed at this house with my boys going on 4 years now and we have never been disappointed. The house is super cute and has been immaculately clean every time. Lewes Beach is a really short drive, as is Rehoboth Beach. Joanne has always been a great host and is very responsive. I have to say, it's the best place I have stayed at by far. We can't wait to return again next year!

Beautiful Cottage, Great Getaway!

The cottage is beautiful and so cozy! We loved our stay in Lewes. The cottage is super clean (I'm very particular) and it is a great location if you want to visit several of the beaches. We especially liked Cape Henlopen. Our favorite restaurant was Salt Air in Rehoboth, but there are a lot of options in the area. Joanne is great to work with and makes sure you have a smooth stay. Recommend, recommend, recommend!

Just enough

This cottage was super easy to get to ( although the address is Pondview Drive and the street you turn off of is Red Mill Manor). Once we realized this, its right off of route 1, close to route 9 , town of Lewes and close to Rehoboth . The house is just right for a couple. The bed was comfortable, the house had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the little touches the owner provider ( like a lighted makeup mirror). We would definitely consider staying here again!
