The Rodney House

Listed as “The most beautiful Airbnb” in Delaware on Architectural Digests website. We want this to be a relaxing memorable vacation and will do what we can to make it happen. We are local so are around to help you with anything you would require.
Walk up the stairs to the main floor that has a private office, kitchen and beautiful living room with a smart TV. The kitchen is well equipped and has a Keurig with coffee pods to start your day. There is also a washer and dryer on the main floor. The master bedroom shares the whole third floor with the master bath. The ceilings are lofty with the original exposed beams. You can walk out the front door of the apartment to all our restaurants, shopping, fishing and everything Lewes has to offer.. Shuttles are at the corner to take you to neighboring beach towns, outlet shopping, the Cape May Lewes ferry and Cape Henlopen State Park. We have designed this apartment for a romantic couple getaway, or peaceful retreat.

Perfect location
Perfect location, right next door to Fairy Godmother. Nice check amenities, plenty of towels/necessities for our visit, even a beach bag, beach towels, flip flops and chairs. Only teenie tiny suggestion would be clips for bags in the utility drawer, otherwise these owners have thought of everything to make the stay so easy & fun. Thank you !!

Lovely apartment in the heart of historic Lewes
Great location to sample the different cafes and restaurants of Lewes, or simply walk the streets and admire the beautiful architecture. Also worked well for two days of telework, with a great office alcove with desk and the dining table in a separate room for a second teleworker. So much space in the apartment and close to everything. Easy and free street parking in April (I understand that changes to metered street parking in the summer).

The apartment was a perfect fit for us. Very well located in the center of old town and within walking distance of good restaurants and a good bakery for our breakfast needs. A cosy place to relax and hang out. We would want to come again.

Charm Galore
My husband and I absolutely loved the Rodney House! Charming was the first thought I had, add comfortable and spotless. The extra touches were many including extra towels, conveniently located throws, bathroom magnifying mirror, local beer, salt water taffy, and so much more. The location was fabulous and we visited all the shops on 2nd Street, especially enjoying Biblion - we stopped in twice on our 3 day visit! Lewes offers great food and a lovely ambiance. We’ll be back for a longer stay.

Great for a get away week
The apartment was perfect for our needs. Right on the main commercial street with very easy walks to good restaurants, bars, and shopping. A short drive from the beach or Cape Henlopen. We had some weather while we were there but never felt cooped up in the apartment. There was plenty of room to spread out, and work when we had to or just hang out. Would stay again.

Conveniently located, gorgeous apartment
The apartment was roomy, comfortable and clean. It was quiet even though right in town. We thought parking might be a challenge, but we parked right in front to unload when we arrived and found plenty of free parking 3 blocks away for the duration of our stay. The place was perfectly situated for quiet walks to the main campus of the Lewes Historical Society with excellent live docents in period costume. Close to King's Ice Cream shop, too, for wonderful homemade treats. Easy access to the main road to Cape Henlopen or multiple bike trails. Terrific getaway, thanks Ashley!

Intro to Lewes DE. - a perfect spot to launch from
Great location to explore Lewes DE. The character of the property matched the character of Lewes. The owners were great to deal with and the apartment was perfect - clean, cheerful, and just the right location to walk everywhere. Perfect for a couple - I give it 5+ stars and will definitely return. Cincinnati visitors

Wonderful place in Lewes, DE
My spouse and I stayed in this property for 5 days and could not be happier with the accommodations. This two level apartment is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated—and steps away from wonderful restaurants and shops in lovely downtown Lewes. Only a 5 minute drive to Lewes Beach or Cape Henlopen State Park, this was the perfect place to stay for our beach vacation. Also, parking was never a problem—every day free parking was readily available on beautiful residential streets only a couple of short blocks from the apartment. We highly recommend, and are already planning our next stay!
