The house was comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully decorated. The garden was well designed and much enjoyed by our group on the unexpected 70F late November day. The location of the house made for easy walks around town to the grocery store, shops and restaurants, the post office, and the beach. It was the perfect "home base" for a few days in Lewes. We're already looking forward to our next stay!

Great location and beautiful home. One thing to note: the third bedroom is actually a loft so has full light/noise. Other than that, a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend!

Great long weekend

The property was clean and perfect for a group looking to go to the beach and enjoy the town for the weekend. We were 2 families of varying ages who all enjoyed the deck, backyard, and cooking meals in the kitchen.

The townhome is lovely. It was clean and beautifully decorated. The only drawback is the fact that one of the three bedrooms is open to the family and kitchen area below so it is not the best place for anyone who is disturbed or woken by noise.

Costal Comfort

As soon as we walked in the door we knew our stay was going to be wonderful. It looked better than the pictures listed. My family slept very well in the beds. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. We had privacy on the back deck. And the stores and shops were 5 mins away by walking. We will definitely return. We have been to Lewes for the last 4 yrs every summer and this is our favorite vacation yet!

Great house in Lewes

Great house with three large bedrooms. Each room had its own bathroom, which was very nice. It had a great backyard which our dog enjoyed. The location was just what we wanted--very easy to walk down into the restaurant/shop area (a few minutes), but not right in the middle of it, which might get noisy. The house was well equipped --linens, cooking utensils, TVs (although we didn't use them). Furniture was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Wished Longer

Our Nashville family, plus dogs, enjoyed making this our home base as we arrived for a tournament in Fredrick, DE. Great space for three people and two dogs with more room to spare! The place was well equipped, clean, and super convenient to the lovely historic town of Lewes. The people at Lingo that we communicated with were friendly and super helpful. We will return and hope this spot is available for us!

Cozy house walkable to downtown Lewes

Great time in this three story spot, everything clean and orderly, walk to town and the canal takes 2 minutes. House has some unusual quirks from being subdivided, like the 2nd story bedroom with a 3/4 wall which we needed to monitor our kids around. Beautiful master bedroom, lovely enclosed backyard. Would return!

Lovely updated TH in the heart of Lewes

First stay in the heart of downtown Lewes didn’t disappoint. Home was beautifully updated with a very nice fenced yard and garden, and in walking distance to all that downtown Lewes offers. One observation was the lack of beach house amenities typically stocked at this price point: beach chairs, no umbrella for deck table and chairs without shade, beach towels(none available despite linen fee).

Charming home in great location

Charming beach home walking distance to shops and restaurants and easy drive to beaches and park. Very responsive property management team. Plenty of space to spread out. Of note, this is a duplex and back yard is shared. Also, one bedroom is open to the floor below. Rooms are quite light in the mornings as blinds are not room darkening. All that aside, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Short getaway at a nice place

Well maintained; very nice place. First floor is the best with sitting room, great room with wonderful kitchen and back yard. Several wishes: Wish king bed was on second floor, not 3rd Wish they carpeted the stairs to make it easier for pets and to stifle the noise that you hear from the other side of the duplex- hear the up and down and the opening and closing of doors. Still is a 5 star because those aren't deal breakers.

Beautiful Home

The proximity to the restaurants and stores is an added plus for this beautiful property. The house is beautifully decorated and the kitchen has every gadget imaginable. The back yard is immaculate and there is a deck with a table and chairs to sit outside if the weather is decent. One of the bedrooms has an open wall so that when someone is working in the kitchen it is easily heard to the person in that bedroom. The other 2 bedrooms are perfect - in fact the top floor room is like a little suite/getaway.
