Simple beach life, priceless sunset views, one block to the beach

This cozy beach cottage is an original home in the heart of Lewes Beach. There aren't too many of these quaint homes left and this is one to enjoy! Watch the sunset with an unobstructed view from the backyard, spend your days on the bay away from the crowds and explore the lovely town of Lewes.
This clean, simple, single level home provides the antidote to your busy life. Bring the family to our Lewes Beach home and get back to basics...making memories. Play games in the sunroom, enjoy the sunset and a drink in the backyard, cozy up for a family movie in the living room.
The one bedroom features a king sized bed. The living room couch pulls out into a full sized bed. The sunroom as plenty of floor space to accommodate a full air mattress for a couple of extra guests.
Walk across the street in the morning and spend the day on the bay. Rinse off in the outside shower before preparing a meal to enjoy in the backyard.

Simple beach life is right!
Sweet little cottage …all the basics, neat, clean & comfortable. Easy walk to the inlet for a quick beach fix and short drive to all the other area beaches. Wonderful dinner & homemade sangria at A Touch of Italy …awesome sandwiches at new lunch favorite Honey’s. King size bed is firm as listed… bring an extra mattress topper if your preference is a bit fluffier. Megan was super to work with! Great relaxing getaway…

Loved the proximity to the beach
Very hot week and AC was marginal, but we really enjoyed our stay. Only issue with the house was that the front door, a slider, was very difficult to use. Quiet and peaceful and great that we could bring our dog. Would rent again.

Great location with basic accommodations
We really enjoyed our stay at this property because of the location -- it's a 5 minute walk to the beach, right across the main road (Cedar), and you are a quick drive or bike ride to downtown Lewes. The listing is very accurate -- this is a very simple beach cottage. It's clean, but definitely older, and you have to provide all your own linens, towels, etc, and there are not things like bath mats in the single bathroom. Everything works well, but is very old and a little wonky; for example, the house is not on a level foundation, so shower/tub does not drain all the way on its own -- which is annoying if you have a bunch of sand getting washed off! There is conveniently an outdoor shower, which is great for doing a pre wash, and a vacuum is in the house which helps for getting rid of sand in the house. For anybody planning to use the pull out couch for sleeping, bear in mind it's in the same room as the TV, which is also where the main entryway is, and there are no window coverings in that room to make it dark once the sun is up. The house backs up to the marsh, which we saw get high up about 10 ft from the back of the house when the water levels were high -- note just in case anyone is coming with kids that might be wandering out back by themselves! The owner was very easy to communicate with, and gives very clear instructions. This is definitely a bare bones house, and works great if all you need is a spot to land to go to the beach for a few days.

Great for a couple and a dog!
We had the coziest stay here! The cottage is clean and comfortable and has such a lovely view over the marsh for those rainy days. It's a quiet stretch of beach with a sandbar which was lovely for our dog in the mornings and evenings. We went to Cape Henlopen several times - it's so close - for their all day dog beach and stronger waves. We liked the nearby Wheelhouse restaurant and saw there are several others nearby and a food court for food trucks. We'll be back!

4th of July in Lewes
This is listed as 1BR/1BA, but it there’s an additional room that makes it feel much larger. The property is quiet and it’s a short walk to the beach. Lewes Township fireworks on the beach on 4th of July are always a highlight of the summer for my family, as are the wonderful restaurants in town. The wetlands behind the property were also an unexpected bonus, which makes the stay quieter and more serene, and even affords some bird watching opportunities.

Close to beauty and quietness
The property is as described. The house affords enough space for four to stay in it, and the outdoor shower is a great option to get more people ready around the same time. The street is quiet, so you can sleep peacefully each night. It is close to the beach, where you can enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The beach located near the property has less activity from visitors, so it feels as if you are having a more personal experience.
