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.

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!

A charming town with a perfect location. Lots to do in and around Lewes or if it is your preference keep a low lazy profile. Very enjoyable and well maintained apartment with everything a person needs. Delightful.

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.

Intro to Lewes DE. - a perfect spot to launch from
Great location to explore Lewes DE. The character of the property matched the character of Lewes. The owners were great to deal with and the apartment was perfect - clean, cheerful, and just the right location to walk everywhere. Perfect for a couple - I give it 5+ stars and will definitely return. Cincinnati visitors

Wonderful place in Lewes, DE
My spouse and I stayed in this property for 5 days and could not be happier with the accommodations. This two level apartment is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated—and steps away from wonderful restaurants and shops in lovely downtown Lewes. Only a 5 minute drive to Lewes Beach or Cape Henlopen State Park, this was the perfect place to stay for our beach vacation. Also, parking was never a problem—every day free parking was readily available on beautiful residential streets only a couple of short blocks from the apartment. We highly recommend, and are already planning our next stay!

Charm Galore
My husband and I absolutely loved the Rodney House! Charming was the first thought I had, add comfortable and spotless. The extra touches were many including extra towels, conveniently located throws, bathroom magnifying mirror, local beer, salt water taffy, and so much more. The location was fabulous and we visited all the shops on 2nd Street, especially enjoying Biblion - we stopped in twice on our 3 day visit! Lewes offers great food and a lovely ambiance. We’ll be back for a longer stay.

Conveniently located, gorgeous apartment
The apartment was roomy, comfortable and clean. It was quiet even though right in town. We thought parking might be a challenge, but we parked right in front to unload when we arrived and found plenty of free parking 3 blocks away for the duration of our stay. The place was perfectly situated for quiet walks to the main campus of the Lewes Historical Society with excellent live docents in period costume. Close to King's Ice Cream shop, too, for wonderful homemade treats. Easy access to the main road to Cape Henlopen or multiple bike trails. Terrific getaway, thanks Ashley!

Romantic Getaway
This was a Christmas present for my husband and it did not disappoint! The house was on the main street so we walked to all of our meals, The house offered all the modern amenities with the historic charm of Lewes. I would recommend this to anyone, unless they had mobility issues. (The stairs are a little narrow and steep.)

Much needed R&R&R
This is a beautifully appointed apartment..spacious and clean...modern touches throughout a classic traditional space. All the rooms are elegant and comfortable. The upstairs loft is open, airy, white with high ceilings...romantic. The location is amazing..step out the door and you’re on Second Street, with wonderful shops and restaurants surrounding you. There are beautiful sites within a short walking distance, and attractions such as the beach, Cape Henlopen, museums, biking trails etc are all very close by. We will definitely plan to return for our next romantic getaway.

Historic and accessible
Right in the heart of everything! Historic home. Wonderful setting and unique set up. Wish the bathroom had more lighting and space to place toiletries. Clean, but we noticed cobwebs, dust, and mildew on shower curtain. Please inform housekeeping service! Regardless, we loved the extra and thoughtful touches and the comfortable space. Thank you! We hope to return soon!
