About this property

Crow's Nest! Guest carriage house-bike trail to Lewes beach

Lovely private 1 bed/1 bath upstairs detached garage apartment. This space provides the utmost privacy. It boasts beautiful beachy decor filled with many locally sourced touches, a fully stocked kitchen, and a beautiful bedroom complete with a desk and a canopy bed to provide guests with the perfect escape. Enjoy outdoor dining under a pergola, lawn games, and more! Level 1 EV available! We are less than .4 mi away from the Lewes Georgetown Bike trail and 3.7 mi to Lewes beach.

The garage apartment is special for many reasons, but being freshly renovated doesn’t hurt either! When compared with a stay in a hotel, our “crow’s nest” apartment is no comparison with the decor, amenities, and space provided for guests to enjoy a Lewes Beach visit. The apartment is filled with lovely decor with unique local finds and books about our area. Wifi and a desk provides a great work space for the remote work warrior and a canopy bed allows for a welcome escape to our quaint beach town. Unwind in the evenings with a smart tv filled with your favorite apps. We also have a fully stocked kitchen for the culinary minded.
We have added a brand new pergola with cafe lights and an outdoor dining space for nice evenings. Enjoy cornhole boards we provide or giant paddle ball in the spacious driveway or yard. A hammock overlooks a manicured meadow that has many local wildlife visitors like deer, birds, foxes, rabbits and more. Our home backs to a protected natural wildlife area.
We have wonderful summer games like croquet to set up in the field behind the apartment. Make a cup of tea and have a lovely afternoon!
We have several standard outdoor plugs available for Level 1 EV charging! Electric vehicles are welcome.
We have super easy transit to the beach for bicycle riders (hint: bike parking is free parking) via the Georgetown Lewes Bike Trail. We also have a downstairs lockable laundry room to store bikes and other beach gear in as well so your gear is secure.

Guests have full access to the garage apartment and garage apartment laundry room which is all separate and private from the main owner’s home. We provide parking for guests right in front of the apartment.

We are always available to our guests and keep a close eye on the booking app to make sure guests have everything they need. Don’t be afraid to send us a message!

Our neighborhood is convenient and easy to get to. It’s right off of Route 1 for quick transit, but backs to a protected wildlife area which makes it still quiet and tranquil. We are located just .4 mi away from the Lewes Georgetown Bike Trail and definitely recommend using it to bike to downtown Lewes and the beach! Using the trail we are just a 4 mi bike ride to Lewes Beach. Turning left onto the bike trail, we are just .5 mi from Old World Bread (great breakfast bakery) and Beach Time Distilling! We are about 3 miles to the Rehoboth Tanger Outlets too for all the shoppers out there! If guests bring their own bikes, we have secure storage for them if requested!

Biking is by far the easiest way to get from downtown and the beach (about 4 mi via the bike trail to the beach and a similar distance to downtown amenities like restaurants, bars, and shopping). Aside from biking, driving is the second best option but see our printed guest book for local parking tips!
- Quiet hours are after 10 pm for neighbors.
- We typically request guests be at least 25 years of age to book but we do make exceptions.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

Perfect for us
Just the two of us getting an extended weekend at the shore, the crows nest was perfect for us in terms of space and geographic location. The hosts went out of their way to set up the grill for us, didn’t have to do that and it was much appreciated! Bed was comfy, the rental stayed nice and cool, we had everything we needed. We will be back sometime, thanks again!

Crow's Nest is the best.
Very nice accommodations, clean & well stocked. Liked that it's located near the bike trail. Outdoor seating was appreciated so we could eat some of our meals there in our own private backyard. Locked storage for our bikes & free washer/dryer.

Can’t wait to come back!
This is the perfect property for a couple who don’t mind not being right next to all the attractions. It is convenient to everything, especially Surf Bagel which is within walking distance. The property is adorable and has everything you would need. The couch and bed are very comfortable, and you have more than enough space to relax in. The owners were easy to contact and it was great to chat with them the few times we ran into them. We will definitely be visiting this property again!

Lovely quiet weekend
This spot was perfect for what I wanted, which was a quiet weekend away. It’s a snug, cozy little place, finished to a high standard and very comfortable. The host was lovely and helpful. Highly recommend and would absolutely come back.

Great location, clean, cozy and tasteful!
My husband and I were down for a few days trying to get a good feel for southern coastal Delaware as a possible relocation spot for retirement. Having done some research, Lewes is where we wanted to stay as it seemed kind of center of where we were looking . First I will say if you are looking for easy access to Coastal 1 the main drag taking you south to all of the beaches, The Crow’s Nest is your place as it is right on and off. We loved this as we were back and forth a lot. As far as the stay it was the best experience, the place is decorated so nice with all of the nautical touches, it was extremely clean, pretty and well thought out to have all of the comforts of home. The bed is very comfortable and we got some very well needed sleep. The hosts answered all questions promptly and were there if you needed them but they gave us total privacy. I wouldn’t even think twice when coming back and would stay here again. Thank you Chris and Katelyn, we had a great stay!
