Excellent Location for shopping and dining! Lewes is special!

Spacious and lovely 1 Bedrm and 1 Bath on upper level.Lovely Full Kitchen and Stylish Furnishings. Really enjoyed the Books and Snacks. Two sets of stairs are featured in the listing. However, The ceiling heights were not shown and a bit low on the stairs so you have to DUCK to keep from hitting your head and steps were dark and difficult to see, especially when carrying luggage. Comfortable heating and easy check in and out.Would highly recommend, however disclosure of the low ceilings for Seniors. Parking nearby, however, no reserved area for this Apartment on busy street. Thank you hostesses, we really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect location

Perfect location, right next door to Fairy Godmother. Nice check amenities, plenty of towels/necessities for our visit, even a beach bag, beach towels, flip flops and chairs. Only teenie tiny suggestion would be clips for bags in the utility drawer, otherwise these owners have thought of everything to make the stay so easy & fun. Thank you !!

Lovely apartment in the heart of historic Lewes

Great location to sample the different cafes and restaurants of Lewes, or simply walk the streets and admire the beautiful architecture. Also worked well for two days of telework, with a great office alcove with desk and the dining table in a separate room for a second teleworker. So much space in the apartment and close to everything. Easy and free street parking in April (I understand that changes to metered street parking in the summer).

Great for a get away week

The apartment was perfect for our needs. Right on the main commercial street with very easy walks to good restaurants, bars, and shopping. A short drive from the beach or Cape Henlopen. We had some weather while we were there but never felt cooped up in the apartment. There was plenty of room to spread out, and work when we had to or just hang out. Would stay again.

Perfection!

This was one of my favorite bookings on VRBO. There are no negatives for this property. The location is right downtown in the middle of all the action. Pa4k your car and enjoy strolling anywhere you’d like to go. The historical nature of the property is outstanding. It was extremely clean and comfortable and they provide everything needed. It lacked nothing to make the stay comfortable. They were always quick to respond to any communications. The bed/ pillows offer a good night’s sleep. Highly recommend and I would gladly book again!
