The Rodney House

Listed as “The most beautiful Airbnb” in Delaware on Architectural Digests website. We want this to be a relaxing memorable vacation and will do what we can to make it happen. We are local so are around to help you with anything you would require.
Walk up the stairs to the main floor that has a private office, kitchen and beautiful living room with a smart TV. The kitchen is well equipped and has a Keurig with coffee pods to start your day. There is also a washer and dryer on the main floor. The master bedroom shares the whole third floor with the master bath. The ceilings are lofty with the original exposed beams. You can walk out the front door of the apartment to all our restaurants, shopping, fishing and everything Lewes has to offer.. Shuttles are at the corner to take you to neighboring beach towns, outlet shopping, the Cape May Lewes ferry and Cape Henlopen State Park. We have designed this apartment for a romantic couple getaway, or peaceful retreat.

We do not have designated parking.

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 !!

The apartment was a perfect fit for us. Very well located in the center of old town and within walking distance of good restaurants and a good bakery for our breakfast needs. A cosy place to relax and hang out. We would want to come again.

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!
