I booked a tad late for our end of summer week but still found this 3 bedroom condo with great views of the Delaware Bay, 2 large decks, an outdoor shower, lots of space, and an amazing location!
Our family of 4 had more space than we needed but it was nice to have it.
Steps to the sand of the Delaware Bay beach- perfect for super young kids. My kids wanted more waves and action so we did head to Rehoboth twice and also once to the beach at the adjacent Henlopen State Park. (Both on the Atlantic Ocean side). I highly recommend the state park! Gorgeous and a quick bike ride away.
The Lewes-Cape May ferry is literally next door to the property so one day we biked over there and took the ferry (book in advance tho!).
Bike trails all around and a quick bike ride into downtown Lewes. The property was super quiet and the pool is a saltwater pool which I love!!!!! Parking was easy as well.
Books and games in the unit as well.
The condo itself is a bit “tired”. But it wouldn’t take much to make this a 5 star review for me:
1. The pillows and comforters /blankets need to be replaced. They are super old and discolored. Kinda gross! We used a linen service for linens and towels but the pillows themselves need to be thrown out.
2. Clutter on kitchen counters and other areas. Maybe remove some of that or put it all into a cute basket labeled “odds and ends for your stay”.
3. Couch needs a slipcover or be replaced. It’s just worn and looks dirty.
4. Have working bikes and beach chairs for guests!!!! All the other units had them but the bikes at this rental are super rusty and some don’t work. We ended up renting 2 bikes for our kids. The beach cruiser I used has seen better days! And chairs should always be included in a beachside rental . We lugged our own from home and they took up valuable space in our car.
5. No dishwasher detergent (a pod or 2 to start is usually expected)
6. No paper towel roll (would be nice to have one on hand for the first day).
7. A few ants in the kitchen that seemed to be getting worse as the week went on. We cleaned up after each meal but they were on the kitchen counter.
8. Make sure the window is open in the master bedroom for the small AC unit. We did not realize that the window was closed and hot air was blowing into the room .
All in all, a lovely place to spend a week in the summer! We made some fun memories there.
