  Property condition:

  Maryann I from Bellmawr, NJ does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Loved the location of the property. It was not clean.... We found men’s underwear under the comforter. Which means the cleaning crew never washed the mattress pads or comforters, that is gross. Kitchen and bathrooms were not clean we had to clean before we could unpack and food shop. I Sent pictures to the realtor (Margaret). Never heard a word back
  Personally I think the cleaning fee should be refunded.

  • Manager Responded on 8/26/2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location, but we sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered during your stay. Finding clothing left under the comforter and having to clean the kitchen and bathrooms before settling in is absolutely not the standard we expect for our guests. We’re also sorry that you did not receive a response after sending photos to Margaret. We understand how frustrating that must have been, particularly when you had already taken the time to document the issues. We take your concerns regarding the cleaning fee seriously and will review what happened with our cleaning team and management. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.

  Gulielma F from Baltimore, MD recommends this vacation rental

  Location of this rental is great, one of the only small-ish rentals near the bay beach left in Lewes. Dog friendly with a fee, but furniture and rugs were not clean/maintained well. Given the extra fee for a pet, I would expect that would pay for necessary additional cleaning but there was dog hair on all fabric surfaces, and the living room couch felt incredibly unclean; just saturated with pet dander. Not all windows had screens, which was a frustration since the temps were nice enough to have fresh air rather than a/c and we were overwhelmed by flies & fruit flies within a day. Beds were advertised as queen but were actually all full size (I checked b/c the sheets I brought did not fit). Kitchen was well stocked and good for cooking. The sunroom was really nice. Honestly I think this house is good as a home base for trips out to the beach, but not really a place I wanted to spend time relaxing in due to uncomfortable furniture (the dining stools and table were completely unmatched in terms of height, requiring boosters for adults) and cleanliness. The second house on the lot has its own outdoor space immediately adjacent to the dining/outdoor grill area.
