209B Midland Avenue (8)

This cottage is charming, intimate and well decorated for a comfortable beach experience. It features exposed wood beams on both floors, some exposed brick and white walls in common areas, giving it the feel of an intimate cottage retreat. This property also features intimate outdoor living spaces including a spacious deck, running the length of the home facing 209A Midland with privacy fencing and lots of room for grilling, eating, entertaining and hanging towels, storing chairs, kayaks and SUPs. The home features a second raised porch at the side entrance, above which there is a sun room with windows on three sides accessible to the two outside decks from a charming spiral staircase. The outdoor areas are decorated with umbrellas and pillows in vibrant beach blues and turquoise for comfortable outdoor living. Landscaped yard includes mature pine trees that offer additional privacy. This home is situated on a private back lot off Midland Avenue, the desirable first cross street on Lewes Beach rendering it the closest street to the Dairy Queen, East of Maui, downtown historic Lewes and Cape Henlopen State Park which offers bike trails and access to the ocean. Access to off street parking is through the alley with private and quiet entrance to home a few steps away. Additional street parking is also available on Midland Ave with a private, landscaped path leading from the back unit to the street. Trash receptacles for both units are on Midland Ave. An outdoor shower is located at back of this house supplementing two full indoor bathrooms.

  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.
