Welcome to this landmark 1790 coastal historic home lovingly restored to pair timeless character with modern comfort. Set in the heart of downtown historic Lewes, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom getaway comfortably accommodates up to four guests—and even your four-legged companion.

On the main level, you will find an inviting eat-in kitchen fully equipped for casual meals, along with a full bathroom and flexible sleeping arrangements.

The location puts the very best of Lewes right at your doorstep. Walk just one block to second-to-none dining, local boutiques, and coffee shops, or stroll two blocks to the waterfront at Canal Front Park.

  A rare opportunity to stay in a historic house in downtown Lewes. The location cannot be beat, you have all the charms of 2nd St and the canal right outside your door with excellent dining, shopping and historical sites. Only caveat is I would not recommend to people with mobility challenges as the front step is rather high and the steps to the king bedroom on the second floor are steep.

  • Manager Responded on 9/23/2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the unique charm and historic character of this Lewes home. Its location right in the heart of downtown, with 2nd Street, the canal, dining, shopping, and historic sites just steps away, truly makes it a special place to stay. We also appreciate you pointing out the higher front step and steep stairs leading to the second-floor king bedroom. That is helpful information for future guests when considering the home and their individual mobility needs. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Lewes for another visit! Lewes Rental Team

  My husband, adult son and I had a great stay at 214 Mulberry Street in the Lewes historic district. This beautifully restored property was super clean and comfortable, with all the modern amenities, including good air-conditioning, good lighting and a very good kitchen. While conveniently located in the center of town, the house is only a few minutes drive from Cape Henlopen State Park with its beautiful beach and bike trails. It was also nice to be able to cross the canal and walk down Market Street to the beach to see the sunset. Beds were excellent and the location was very quiet. Altogether a remarkable place to stay.

  • Manager Responded on 8/19/2026

    Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you, your husband, and your son had such a great stay at 214 Mulberry Street. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the beautifully restored home, modern amenities, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. The location really does offer the best of both worlds—being right in the heart of historic Lewes while still just a short drive from Cape Henlopen State Park. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the bike trails, beach, and that beautiful sunset walk along Market Street as well! Thank you again for choosing our home and for your kind words. We’re thrilled you found it clean, quiet, comfortable, and remarkable, and we hope to welcome you back to Lewes again soon! Lewes Rental Team

  Amazing historic home but with updated amenities. Loved the covered patio - we had coffee out there every morning. It was odd that you have to pay for linens separately and also no soap/shampoo products ---- but easy enough to buy locally.

  • Manager Responded on 7/24/2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the charm of the historic home along with the modern updates, and that the covered patio became your favorite coffee spot—it's one of ours too! 😊 We appreciate your feedback regarding linens and toiletries. We're always looking for ways to improve the experience, and your comments help us do just that. We're glad it was easy to pick up what you needed locally, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

  We were looking for a quick family beach getaway. From the location to the house, it was terrific. We loved our time here and felt like we were able to get away, enjoy the beach, fun bike rides, get some runs in, and enjoy the restaurants. The bonus was walking around the town and reading about its history in the evenings.

  • Manager Responded on 7/22/2025

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re so happy to hear that the location and house were perfect for your quick family beach getaway. It sounds like you made the most of your time with beach fun, bike rides, runs, and exploring local restaurants—and that evening strolls through town history sound like the perfect way to unwind. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another memorable stay! Lewes Rental Team

  a guest from Frederick, MD does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The cost of staying in Lewes for three nights was much too high, in our opinion. We had to pay for cleaning, for a place that had dust and cobwebs. It was like staying in a museum. Some people may like that. It's a historic property, very interesting. Had a weird smell that clung to our belongings and we had to wash everything when we got home. Lewes is a lovely town but I did not care for this property. For the amount of money we spent, we expected something much different. It was also quite dark inside, unless you turned on the overhead lights. We felt discouraged from moving lamps around to read.

  • Manager Responded on 8/6/2025

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the property didn’t meet your expectations, and we truly regret that your experience fell short of what we aim to provide. As you noted, this is a historic home with unique character, which some guests really enjoy—but we understand it’s not the right fit for everyone. We’re especially sorry to hear about the cleanliness concerns and the odor you experienced. That’s not the standard we strive for, and we’ll be reviewing these issues with our team to ensure they’re addressed moving forward. We appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us improve both the property and the overall guest experience. While we're disappointed to hear this home wasn’t a good match for your visit, we hope you'll consider staying with us again in a different property that better suits your preferences.

  This is a nicely appointed house very close to downtown. We were allowed (for a fee) to have our two dogs with us. It was a good space for the 4 of us. The second bedroom, which we didn’t use) is quite small. But the living space and second floor bedroom are very spacious! The kitchen and two bathrooms are adequate. There’s also a nice screened porch. (We would have used it more. But it was a bit too hot to be out there without the ceiling fan running. But it had only a high speed that was too much! We highly recommend this property.

  a guest from McLean, VA recommends this vacation rental

  The property is in the very heart of Lewes and had been meticulously restored. Staying there does put the burden of cleaning on the renter as before departure you are not only asked to do the dishes but also to vacuum the place. Also, paying an extra $450 for the privilege of bringing two dachshunds with us for three days was a bit of an overkill.

  This property is a gem for old house and history lovers. The owners have a book filled with details of the restoration and home. Lots of period touches. Also, The location is fabulous. Walk to downtown and restaurants. It was great for our needs... a couple with 8 yr old grandchild visiting for few days. One car off street parking was nice too.
  The property is as described and it was very clean. That said, we loved it , but if you are looking for large cooking kitchen, outdoor showers, etc this probably wouldn’t suit your needs.

  This is probably the only time I've ever rented a place that didn't have a review.
  I am glad that I took the chance. This place was amazing. It doesn't look like a rental at all. Everything inside is incredibly nice. Lots of antiques, which suits the home perfectly. The house has air conditioning and everything you need.
  The main bedroom is upstairs and there's a smaller bedroom with a twin bed next to the kitchen. We had a toddler, who did not want that much separation from us, so he ended up sleeping upstairs with us.
  You can easily walk to everything, including the beach. The location does not get any better.
  We loved that this was a historic building - originally a church. It was wonderful and we would definitely rent this one again!
