We loved our stay at Vitamin Sea! We were 3 families and there was plenty of room. It was quiet, but close to everything we wanted to do. The kids loved the bay. There were horseshoe crabs and other wildlife galore that the kids had a blast identifying. It was a 1 minute drive to Cape Henlopen state park. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lovely, comfortable house loaded with amenities. Steps to the community pool, and Cape Henlopen State Park, plus the beach and fishing pier. Charming nearby downtown Lewes is minutes by car or bike. The toddler loved the Pirate Ship cruise in Lewes, especially aiming water cannons at the “bad” pirate.

The home is beautiful, and has everything needed for a fun family gathering. The kitchen is stocked with cooking necessities, and the house supplies games, bikes, and access to the pool or the bay. The host was accessible for questions, and very helpful. The town is quaint, and the shops offered quality products at affordable prices. All around wonderful place to visit with a large group.
