Travellers praise The Rodney House for its historic charm blended with modern comfort, highlighting a spotless, spacious two-level apartment and a stellar, walkable location in the heart of Lewes near shops, restaurants, and the beach.
Guests consistently commend the thoughtful touches and responsive hosts, as well as easy check-in and a well-equipped kitchen. Multiple reviews note quiet interiors despite the central address. Recurring caveats include steep or narrow stairs and low headroom on stairways, which may challenge those with mobility concerns, and the absence of reserved parking though nearby street parking is commonly available. Overall, expect a comfortable, character-filled base for exploring Lewes.

This is a great apartment, in a great location. Spacious, well-designed, and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything you need, and provided so many welcoming details.

It was absolutely perfect! We loved it and it met our needs in every way. Loved the location and the whole unit in general. Loved the living area and the little office nook, kitchen, and the bedroom. Bathroom was great, too.

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!

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).

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 !!

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!

We had an excellent stay at the Rodney house!! The history of the house is amazing, and the location was unbeatable - walking distance to beach and right on the main strip. We were able to find free parking a few blocks away that made things very easy!

Spacious and lovely 1 Bedrm and 1 Bath on upper level.Lovely Full Kitchen and Stylish Furnishings. Really enjoyed the Books and Snacks. Two sets of stairs are featured in the listing. However, The ceiling heights were not shown and a bit low on the stairs so you have to DUCK to keep from hitting your head and steps were dark and difficult to see, especially when carrying luggage. Comfortable heating and easy check in and out.Would highly recommend, however disclosure of the low ceilings for Seniors. Parking nearby, however, no reserved area for this Apartment on busy street. Thank you hostesses, we really enjoyed our stay!

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.

This was one of my favorite bookings on VRBO. There are no negatives for this property. The location is right downtown in the middle of all the action. Pa4k your car and enjoy strolling anywhere you’d like to go. The historical nature of the property is outstanding. It was extremely clean and comfortable and they provide everything needed. It lacked nothing to make the stay comfortable. They were always quick to respond to any communications. The bed/ pillows offer a good night’s sleep. Highly recommend and I would gladly book again!

Perfect location in the heart of historic Lewes. Restaurants, stores, the museum, and lovely St. Peter's church are all an easy stroll from your doorstep. The apartment was flawlessly renovated to provide luxurious, modern comfort without compromising the building's historic charms, such as the exposed original brickwork and rafters. Thoughtful, welcoming touches are everywhere, from the plentiful books and treats, to the towels folded to look like entwined swans, to the local beers in the fridge. It was a delight to stay at the Rodney House. We will definitely return!

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!

Perfect location in the heart of historic Lewes. Restaurants, stores, the museum, and lovely St. Peter's church are all an easy stroll from your doorstep. The apartment was flawlessly renovated to provide luxurious, modern comfort without compromising the building's historic charms, such as the exposed original brickwork and rafters. Thoughtful, welcoming touches are everywhere, from the plentiful books and treats, to the towels folded to look like entwined swans, to the local beers in the fridge. It was a delight to stay at the Rodney House. We will definitely return!

We had an excellent stay at the Rodney house!! The history of the house is amazing, and the location was unbeatable - walking distance to beach and right on the main strip. We were able to find free parking a few blocks away that made things very easy!

Charming and comfortable place in the heart of town and within a short walk to the beach. The hosts thought of all the little extras.

Beautifully decorated old home from 1790s. Right in the middle of downtown--close to everything, but still quiet. Perfect weekend spot!

This is a great apartment, in a great location. Spacious, well-designed, and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything you need, and provided so many welcoming details.

The Rodney House was so comfy, so welcoming, and perfectly located. There were also a number of "little things" that really added to the experience: snacks in kitchen, local beers in the fridge, and a carafe of cold water in the bedroom. We'd been to Lewes plenty of times before, but this is the first time we stayed in town, and the Rodney House provided a great home base. Highly Recommend!

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.

Spacious and lovely 1 Bedrm and 1 Bath on upper level.Lovely Full Kitchen and Stylish Furnishings. Really enjoyed the Books and Snacks. Two sets of stairs are featured in the listing. However, The ceiling heights were not shown and a bit low on the stairs so you have to DUCK to keep from hitting your head and steps were dark and difficult to see, especially when carrying luggage. Comfortable heating and easy check in and out.Would highly recommend, however disclosure of the low ceilings for Seniors. Parking nearby, however, no reserved area for this Apartment on busy street. Thank you hostesses, we really enjoyed our stay!
