Long summer weekend 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: The property is lovely, and it's convenient to downtown Lewes and a short drive to Cape Henlopen State Park. Given the cost, we found it a bit odd to need to provide our own sheets and towels. We recommend bringing bikes to check out the really nice trails in the area.

Fantastic property!

The house and property were great! Awesome location if you are visiting Lewes. It is away from the traffic madness of Rehoboth, but also convenient to that area if you are interested in visiting (we had to go back to the Purple Parrot in Rehoboth because their crab cake sandwich is worth the traffic and parking!!) We enjoyed walking to the stores and restaurants in downtown historic Lewes and took a sunset cruise from the canal! Also enjoyed the Tuesday concert in the park (again, within walking distance). The bike rentals from Seagreen bicycles were great, convenient to the Junction Breakwater trail (all flat trail and diverse trail..and we are NOT bikers!) The house itself is amazing. Very well maintained and updated, but great charm! We had everything we needed and more! Backyard with gazebo also impressive. All positive, nothing negative at all. We hope we get back to Lewes..if we do, we 100% would rent this house again! Had great communication with the property manager throughout the process.

Family Beach Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Have been visiting the DE beaches every summer for last 20 years. 4th year in Lewes and 1st stay at 138 Kings Hwy. Homeowner of our last Lewes rental called it quits after three years. This home is lovely - quiet luxury. We love being on King’s Hwy. Can walk to town and all restaurants, the bay, Park with summer concert, and to our favorite ‘The Station on the King’s’. Home is very well equipped with clear instructions and guidance everywhere. The back yard is a wonderful oasis. For sleepers used to a firmer mattress note the master bed is overly plush. And folks sensitive to noise note neighbors two doors down (home owners) have an in ground pool and appear to enjoy entertaining into the late evening with music; not obnoxious just homes are in close proximity.

Great potential for a 5

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home has the potential to be a five star property. However, there were a few things lacking. Number one was the property manager. We purchased the linen package and the linens were not by our door as promised. We waited until the time indicated then started trying to contact the linen company. When the linen company was not responsive, we contacted the management company. At check in, we were told that an agent is on call 24 hours; however, we very quickly learned that an answering service is available that screens calls. We were not connected with the agent because lack of linens is not considered an emergency. After several more phone calls and hours, someone from the office finally delivered linens to the rental at 10:30 PM. And, the linens were still incomplete. There were not sheets available for the king bed in the master bedroom. This whole experience made a very sour impression. This home was clean but the bathrooms need attention. The one newer bathroom does not have a shower door or curtain which leads to water running all over the bathroom and adjoining laundry room. With the exception of one mattress, none of the beds had mattress pads which made for an uncomfortable night's sleep with sheets constantly shifting on the mattress.

Beautiful home

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: We were in Lewes for a funeral. This location was so convenient to everywhere we needed to go. It was nice to be able to walk to the coffee shop in the morning and Kings ice cream in the evening. The home was beautiful and very comfortable. Thank you!

A Very Nice Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: This is our second stay (2 couples) in the 138 Kings Hwy. house. The accommodations were clean and spacious. It appears that some interior bathroom upgrades had been done since our last visit. Time and weather have taken a toll on the exterior decking and fencing. The outdoor garbage/recycle bins and their area are coated in tree sap and need a scrubbin'.

Amazing vacation spot to reunite with friends

The perfect spot to gather with close friends and all of our children. Plenty of space for eight. Walkable to the beach (but about .5 miles) and just blocks from downtown, this home is convenient to everything Lewes has to offer. Best of all, it is a wonderful place to just hang out, especially the back yard. The enclosed gazebo kept the bugs away, and the fenced in yard kept the kids in. We lucked out with weather, but had it been rainy, the home would have still accommodated a successful stay. Kitchen was fully stocked and suitable for a week of elaborate cooking. Highly recommended and we will be back!
