    Chris A from Mount Pleasant, SC recommends this vacation rental

    Great beach house with plenty of room to accommodate a large group. The garage area is a fun bonus, especially for teenagers, with games and a ping pong table to enjoy. The owners also provide lots of beach chairs, which is a great convenience.
    The only downside is that parking is somewhat limited, but there is additional street parking just a short walk away. Overall, it's a wonderful place for a beach getaway!

    • Manager Responded on 8/19/2026

      Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the home was a great fit for your large group and that the garage game area, especially the ping pong table, was a hit with the teenagers. We’re also glad the beach chairs added some extra convenience to your stay. We appreciate you mentioning the parking situation and are glad the nearby street parking provided a helpful alternative. Thank you again for choosing our home for your beach getaway—we hope to welcome you and your group back again! Lewes Rental Team

    a guest from White Plains, NY recommends this vacation rental

    We were a group of 4 adults, 7 young children and a set of grandparents. The house was roomy and provided multiple areas for the children to play and the adults to find quiet spaces. There were some board games and card games available. It is on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood. The bike trail is nearby and the town less than a mile away with multiple restaurants. The living room and dining area could use a bit more light. The outdoor shower was good and the screened porch was a nice area. The kitchen was fine-the pantry closet for food storage was off to the side..a bit inconvenient, so much of our food was on the counters or above the refrigerator. All in all we were happy with the house and location. It is a bit on the pricey side. It had 7 bedrooms and with our configuration we didn't need them all, but there are few larger homes available in the area.

    We had a house with 6 parents and 5 small (under 5) kids. The house worked out perfectly. So close to the beach, an outdoor shower and plenty of sleeping space. The house was clean and well cared for. We cannot wait to come back.

    Nina W from Raleigh, NC recommends this vacation rental

    8 Rhode Island is a charming, quintessential, ideally located Lewes Beach Cottage. This was our 5th summer staying in the cottage and we loved it!
    However, the cottage is showing signs of wear and has not been as clean the past two years as in the past.

    This house beats all expectations for our summer beach week. Ample room, clean and well maintained. We love the location and the beach is a short walk from the house. We love Lewes Oyster House, Striper Bites, Nectars for breakfast, Coffee Shop and Kings Ice Cream. We would definitely recommend this rental to friends and relatives.
