Memory-making beach home in amazing historic downtown Lewes - with water views! Perfectly situated on the Canal Front Park and the Lewes/Rehoboth canal! Pleasure boats, fishing boats, water taxis, and the Overfalls Lightship will excite your nautical desires and can be seen from any room on the front of the house and of course, from the Adirondack chairs on the front porch! Grab coffee and watch them start their early mornings, or a glass of wine and watch them return from their day at sea. And, if your timing is right you will be able to watch the ospreys in their nest high above the water's edge, often flying about for food. Open our front door to the beautiful Canal Front park which offers a waterfront setting that includes docks for walking along the canal, fishing, crabbing, seasonal outdoor movies, music, craft festivals, a playground, baseball fields, tennis/pickleball courts, a basketball court, a kayak launch, a place for a picnic, frisbee and many other activities free to the public. Walk inland from our home one block to the quaint shops, many excellent dining options, our local Lewes bakery/coffee shop, toy store, ice cream parlor and Historical Society. Lewes has an amazing atmosphere, it's sunny, beachy, safe, clean, romantic, great for foodies and has a little something for everyone. From our home you will have amazing fun in the sun and when the sun goes down you can walk to everything!!! We feel sure you will enjoy our location, location, location! As for our beaches, you have many options. Closest is Lewes Beach (3/4 mile) - sidewalks allow for you to walk it easily or even bike it. Lewes Beach is on the Delaware Bay so more calm than the ocean which you can enjoy at the Cape Henlopen State Park. Lewes Beach is perfect for families with younger/older ones who worry about getting knocked over with waves. Cape Henlopen State Park is approximately 3 miles from our home, its beautiful beaches with fun waves to jump and awesome bike trails you can even take to the Rehoboth boardwalk. You can pick your beach preference or try them both during your stay. We are also directly down the street from a public boat ramp that leads right out to the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean.Our family has long enjoyed all that historic downtown Lewes and its beaches has to offer. We have lived here in town for many years and three years ago bought our dream home. It took our breath away to be able to purchase and renovate this home. It was like an HGTV moment when we were given a sledge hammer to open the wall to see if the old fireplace was there behind it (it was)! During our renovation, Craftsman Tools even came and filmed a commercial here! We are now excited to share our home. We have traced the history of our home back to 1849 but have been told it goes back much further. Rumor has it, our home was called the “Stage Coach Inn” back in the day; you will see the historical carriage house when you pull in the driveway that had stables in it until recent years. We were told by the previous owners that is where the horses were fed, overnighted, etc. with the carriage pulled right into the driveway area. We have a historical carriage house on our property for you to store your water toys and the driveway is large enough to bring your boat and park. In addition to location, here are some things we are pleased to offer:• Sleeping for 8 in 5 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms • A kitchen upstairs and another downstairs which is great for multiple families, a break from one another if needed and or just some quiet time to enjoy early coffee before everyone else is up - general pantry items/spices available.• Keurig coffee pots in both kitchens• Washer and dryer• Parking for 4 in the driveway, on-street parking for compact out front and additional public parking across the street• The first floor of our carriage house is available for you to store your kayaks, bikes, beach stuff • There are two bikes for your use; some games in case of a rainy day• Various beach chairs/toys are available to you (please wash them off with the outside hose when you are done with them)• Various balls for the courts/fields across the street will be on hand• Two different work stations (5G) for any who have to take a zoom call or work a day while here• An amazing outdoor shower that brings nature right to you• We put up a clothes line because we like to dry our beach towels and bathing suits in the sun after our beach day• We are leaving our baby grand piano to enjoy for any who play the piano • A Weber gas grill is available • We live locally so quick support is available for questions/concernsWe do ask that you:• Not smoke in our home• Not sneak pets in • Help keep sand out – two levels of our home are hardwood floors• Leave shoes outside whenever possible – when we stay here we go shoeless • No wet bathing suits on the furniture• No parties – we love our neighbors and hope they love us back (and continue to)• Keep the house/carriage house locked when you are goneWe love our home and enjoy time in it also.
