About this property

This small cottage is perfect for two adults, a great romantic getaway. The Cottage is not good for tall people - you need to watch your head on the stairs and on the top of the door between the kitchen and the main room. Upstairs is one queen bed, downstairs is the main room, small kitchen, and bathroom. The Cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is very charming with its own outdoor eating terrace. The owner's house is also on the property. The cottage is not suitable for children or animals, it is compact and has a small refrigerator. It is an easy walk, 6 blocks, into the historic town of Lewes, and there are plenty of great and varied restaurants nearby. The beach is a five minute car ride or an 18 minute walk. TV and Wi-Fi are provided.
The Cottage is on King's Highway so there is some noise from the road - a white noise sleep machine is provided.

Attention to Detail

Everything about this little gem is done well. The house is impeccably kept and welcoming. The host thought of everything one might need from tissues to coffee to scissors to guide books to make this a home away from home on a vacation stay. Perfect for two- comfortable in winter and well located for a walk into town for excellent breakfasts and a walk along the shore.

Charming in-town cottage

Sweet, comfortable cottage in a lovely garden setting, a short walk from downtown Lewes. I really enjoyed having my morning coffee on the patio amidst the wonderful flowers, plants and trees. Lovely early summer stay!

Delightful spring escape

I had a lovely stay in this charming, comfortable historic cottage set amidst a stunning garden with fountains. I had everything I needed and felt so welcomed and at home. Seeing Lewes in spring time is a special treat -- cool nights and mornings, and bright sunny days.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

The cottage was perfect! It was an easy walk to Lewes and a short drive to Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, and Cape Henlopen State Park. The owner was fantastic to work with and very accommodating. We can't wait to visit again!

Beautiful garden, relaxing home

Many fountains, flowers and birds. The cabin was spotlessly clean, deliciously comfortable, and well-equipped. The best of Lewes is in walking distance. The host answers any questions you may have within 15-20 minutes or so. A lovely and convenient vacation spot.

Charming cottage in a lovely garden

The cottage is charming and full of light, and is outfitted with everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. The garden with its patio and fountains is a special treat. It is wonderful to be within a short walk of downtown Lewes and yet still be in a quiet location, and just off the fantastic bike/walking paths. I have stayed in this cottage a few times and am already looking forward to my next opportunity!

Better than advertised

Great location, away from the crowds of downtown but still in walking distance to everything. The garden surrounding the property is stunning and reinforces the coziness of the Cottage itself. Very clean, all the conveniences you would need. Probably the best vacation property we have stayed at, especially at this price point.

Birthday weekend getaway

Found cute, clean, cozy cottage as advertised. We were happy the road noise was minimal after 9pm as the cottage was surprisingly close to the road. Enjoyed off season offerings with really good restaurants and some good shopping deals for Presidents’ Day weekend. Would recommend and revisit.

Weekend getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Everything was as expected; clean, comfortable and well appointed. The host was very responsive and invited us to arrive early and stay late. The location is perfect for walking to beach and town. Close to bike trail. Easy 8 mile bike ride to boardwalk in Rehoboth.

Cute cottage in a great location

This property is in the historic district and close to restaurants and the parks. Well maintained property with a nice patio in the back. Hosts were very attentive. Lots of local information was in a notebook. It was a great help. This house could be a challenge for some older couple particularly if they are tall. The stairwell to the bedroom has a sloped ceiling. Unless you are short you will have to duck your head. Overall it is a nice little cottage. Our hosts were wonderful and we enjoyed our stay.
