At 3000 square feet, the home is one of the most spacious rental homes in the Historic District. The home is furnished with high-quality new furniture and beautiful antiques. The home sleeps up to 10 people, in 4 bedrooms: 3 upstairs and 1 on the main level.
The main level bedroom works as a private living suite with attached full bathroom.

ON THE MAIN LEVEL: You will find a spacious living room with gas fireplace...formal dining room...Large, well-stocked, updated kitchen open to casual eating space and family room with sectional and 50' flat screen TV. Access to driveway and door to porch from the family room. Many wrap-around windows make the family room light and bright. The back bedroom has 2 twin beds, and full bathroom with jetted soaking tub and rainfall shower head. Gorgeous pine wood floors throughout, with the exception of tile floor in the family room - a practical choice when coming home from the beach.

ABOUT THE YARD
The side-yard is fully fenced with a privacy fence. Mature plantings enhance the privacy as well. The fenced-in yard is about half patio and half grass. The patio is perfect for outdoor dinners, and we have a gas grill with enough propane to allow you to grill every day if you wish. The shed contains beach toys and chairs, and a few bicycles for your use.

The rest of the yard around the house is more ornamental than practical but provides for some very charming curb appeal.

Great house and great location
We were a group of four women who like to play bridge and shop and eat! We sometimes stay in hotels, but we wanted to each have separate bedrooms and this house has four bedrooms. It was a very pleasant surprise that the house not only had four bedrooms, but was spic and span clean And had anything we needed. It’s two blocks from LEWES shopping area and less than a mile to the beach. Their shed had chairs umbrellas, beach toys and bikes. Everything you would need for a family trip to the beach. We had good luck in that the weekend was in the 70s to 80 the last week in October. So had a great two days at the beach. Definitely would come again.Owner/manager responded to our questions immediately.

Incredible Property
Incredible stay at the Pink Lady for a long weekend, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Just a short drive away from beach access at cape Henelopen state park. Also very walkable to downtown Lewes. The home literally had everything you could need. All cooking supplies both inside and out (grill and grill utensils). Incredibly clean and parking for 3 cars on property was a plus! Plenary of room for a family of 8.

Very pleasant stay in Lewes
The house itself is in great shape, and the furnishings are much more substantial than we've often found in rental properties. The shed contained a lot of beach equipment--umbrellas and boogie boards, along with a wheeled basket for hauling them. It also had a bunch of bicycles. Lewes itself is charming, and Cape Henlopen state park is a gem. In August, there was a lot of first-rate local produce available.

The perfect beach house for family getaway!
The house was gorgeous and had everything we needed - from extra pillowcases to a spare hairdryer to every kitchen utensil and gadget we could want. The extra bicycles and beach gear were a great plus!

Family vacation
The Pinklady is a lovely and very comfortable house with lots of room to spread out. We enjoyed a backyard barbecue and some of our family used the available bikes. The kitchen is particularly well furnished with quality appliances and pots and pans and anything you need to cook a meal. Our family enjoyed our time there.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Rich

Host profile image
We've been coming to Lewes for well over 30 years and absolutely love it here. It's a special town and well-kept secret. When our children were young we found Lewes Beach to be the perfect sand-castle building spot. Now that they are older, they still enjoy the beach but also take full advantage of the kayaking, fishing, bicycling and shopping options around town. We never run out of things to do or places to explore in Lewes. When we need a little more hustle-bustle we head over to Rehoboth for the boardwalk (Funland is the favorite boardwalk attraction) but we are always very happy to return to Lewes.

Why they chose this property

On one of my early trips to Lewes I noticed this house, and more importantly all the fun that people were having on the porch, and fell in love with it immediately. It just looked like a fun, comfortable place to be, and it became my dream to own a place like this. When this very house was listed for sale it was a dream come true. I am thrilled to be able to share this special home with others.

What makes this property unique

I want to make this home comfortable and inviting for all who visit it. We've furnished it with a combination of lovely antiques and high-end new furniture. We always welcome your feedback in order to make the home even better, and we are confident you will enjoy your stay.
