Open our front door to the beautiful Canal Front park which offers a waterfront setting that includes boats, ship, docks for walking along the canal, fishing, crabbing, seasonal outdoor movies, music, a playground, baseball fields, tennis courts, a basketball court, a kayak launch, a place for a picnic, frisbee and many other activities free to the public. Bike/walk to the beach and walk one block into historic Lewes with its amazing atmosphere - beachy, safe, clean, romantic, great for foodies. Our family has long enjoyed all that historic downtown Lewes and its beaches has to offer. We have lived here in town for many years and three years ago bought our dream home. It took our breath away to be able to purchase and renovate this home. It was like an HGTV moment when we were given a sledge hammer to open the wall to see if the old fireplace was there behind it (it was)! During our renovation, Craftsman Tools even came and filmed a commercial here! We are now excited to share our home. We have traced the history of our home back to 1849 but have been told it goes back much further. Rumor has it, our home was called the “Stage Coach Inn” back in the day; you will see the historical carriage house when you pull in the driveway that had stables in it until recent years. We were told by the previous owners that is where the horses were fed, overnighted, etc. with the carriage pulled right into the driveway area. We have a historical carriage house on our property for you to store your water toys and the driveway is large enough to bring your boat and park. In addition to location, here are some things we are pleased to offer: • Sleeping for 8 in 5 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms • A kitchen upstairs and another downstairs which is great for multiple families, a break from one another if needed and or just some quiet time to enjoy early coffee before everyone else is up - general pantry items/spices available. • Keurig coffee pots in both kitchens • Washer and dryer • Parking for 4 in the driveway, on-street parking for compact out front and additional public parking across the street • The first floor of our carriage house is available for you to store your kayaks, bikes, beach stuff • There are two bikes for your use; some games in case of a rainy day • Various beach chairs/toys are available to you (please wash them off with the outside hose when you are done with them) • Various balls for the courts/fields across the street will be on hand • Two different work stations (5G) for any who have to take a zoom call or work a day while here • An amazing outdoor shower that brings nature right to you • We put up a clothes line because we like to dry our beach towels and bathing suits in the sun after our beach day • We are leaving our baby grand piano to enjoy for any who play the piano • A Weber gas grill is available • We live locally so quick support is available for questions/concerns We do ask that you: • Not smoke in our home • Not sneak pets in • Help keep sand out – two levels of our home are hardwood floors • Leave shoes outside whenever possible – when we stay here we go shoeless • No wet bathing suits on the furniture • No parties – we love our neighbors and hope they love us back (and continue to) • Keep the house/carriage house locked when you are gone We love our home and enjoy time in it also.
