Enjoy your summer vacation in this Beach Classic! Lovely Victorian-era home with tropical ambiance and décor, situated within prime, barefoot strolling distance (just 1.5 BLOCKS!) from the water. Ready to host your family, the roomy 2,300 sq ft house has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus outdoor shower with hot/cold, comfortable living room (with a tropical tiki vibe), big kitchen with cozy breakfast table for your morning coffee, separate dining room, internet/Wi-Fi, two televisions, plus nice book library. Original wood floors on first floor with area rugs; carpeting in bedrooms. Mattresses and box springs are deluxe gel-foam core over individual coils, on high profile frames. Updated windows, storm doors, shutters, driveway, privacy fence, outdoor shower and more, plus inside updated area rugs, ceiling fans, fresh paint, light filtering blinds, and several major appliances. Recent 2022 and 2023 updates include new living room furnishings and new a/c units.

The Hula House has one of the largest fenced yards on Lewes Beach, and actually has TWO yards – a small side fenced yard plus a big rear yard fully enclosed by a 7-foot privacy fence, large deck, picnic table and umbrella, roomy outdoor shower (hot/cold), and a grassy area for sunning or play. ABSOLUTELY NO ANIMALS/PETS ARE PERMITTED ON PROPERTY.

The home's front porch is the perfect place for enjoying a lemonade while people-watching (front porch has two picnic tables, ideal for Maryland Blue Crab feasts!). While everyone on vacation wants to enjoy the many dining opportunities in the area, Guests will appreciate the spacious kitchen with electric stove/oven, fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee pod machine and dishwasher.

Great location, with a quick, barefoot, 1.5 block walk to the public beach or enjoy a short 5-block stroll to the canal with its restaurants, and charter fishing and sight-seeing cruises, OR walk to the historic downtown area just across the canal bridge and filled with many small boutiques and restaurants. Bike, or hop in your car, for a 1-mile drive down to the Cape-May-Lewes Ferry (a 90-minute ferry ride each way, and great for dolphin watching and just relaxing), or visit Cape Henlopen State Park and the many programs they offer for kids and adults alike, plus the waves of the Atlantic Ocean at the public beach!

For those Guests who don't want to worry about packing their own towels and linens, we work with an excellent local company that provides everything a vacationer might need - from beach towels and bed linens to bikes and beach chairs. Almost all of our Guests take advantage of this service and have let us know they appreciate the convenience and very reasonable fees, and quality of the linens/towels. Guests just notify us a couple days in advance of arrival if they want to rent linens/towels and we will put them in touch.

We strive to consistently provide our Guests with a comfortable, clean, and enjoyable stay. The Hula House is Hawaiian-tropical-eclectic, clean, relaxed and fun, and is the perfect place for vacationers who hold the Aloha spirit in their soul.

Absolutely NO animals are permitted due to allergies of Owners, and to allow others with similar allergies to enjoy their stay. Violations will result in forfeiture of security deposit, plus additional fees for deep cleaning, etc.

No smoking or vaping inside, or near house open windows or doors.

Guest count is limited (see listing) and must be disclosed when placing reservation.

Mahalo for considering our home for your Lewes vacation, and we look forward to your stay!

Great location - average stay
The location of this property is fabulous as advertised. The outdoor space was lovely and comfortable. We don’t plan to book again. The house was dusty and had a strong dust smell. I believe the main source was all the Hawaii decorations tchotchkes or the old upstairs carpet. The beds were comfortable but the comforters were stained. The owner had a lot of rules posted throughout the house and throughout the l booking process. Sometimes you rent from someone you can tell gets a lot of joy from sharing their home with others. This was not one of those times.

End of Summer Getaway
We had a lovely time at the Hula House in late August. The home was conveniently close to the bay beach as well as the quaint town area. We all enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evenings. We hope to return soon!

Hula House
Great location, right on Savannah road which is the main road going to the beach in Lewes. Only a couple of blocks from the beach. Easily walkable to the beach, Dairy Queen, convenience store, the marina, and downtown. Nice front porch for relaxing and people watching as people come and go to the beach. Near Bay Avenue, great for bike rides. Ideal if you have someone is has limited mobility since there is only a couple small steps into the home and a downstairs bedroom with a bathroom. Nice private patio in the back, great for morning coffee. Large kitchen with all the necessities and washer dryer.

About the host

Hosted by Annette Ross

Host profile image
We're a military family, and "retired" young after the end of a successful Army career, whereupon hubby embarked on a second career as public school teacher, deciding to retire from that once Covid upended the teaching environment. While we only get to stay in Lewes a few times a year, it is a part of our hearts and history - camping trips to Cape Henlopen State Park, riding the Cape May-Lewes Ferry service, catching toads under the pine trees, playing "bunny count" games while driving down Cedar Street (with extra points when a fox or deer is spotted!), walking to Kings Ice Cream in town for a late night cone any night of the week. We LOVE Lewes. And so will YOU!

Why they chose this property

The Hula House has only had one owner before ours - it belonged to the family of the respected town Fire Chief, who passed away about 10 years ago. Built in 1907, several generations of his family had lived in the house until our purchase. Now, our family and friends have become an integral part of the home's history, and we intend to keep this lovely example of classic Victorian Lewes Beach architecture in our family for generations to come! Visit us, and you'll see why we love this grand old home.

What makes this property unique

- Walk barefoot to the beach
- Clean, updated, with lovely tropical decor
- COMFORTABLE mattresses and loads of pillows
- Fantastic privacy with 7-foot fence, non-splintering composite deck, outdoor shower
- Location! Location! Location! Some homes in Lewes Beach are located outside of walking distance to the beach, away from the restaurants and ice cream shops. Not ours! We are a block or two away from everything Lewes offers. (One of our daughter's greatest summer pleasures has been to walk to the ice cream shop at the beach on a summer eve, barefoot and in her PJs)
