| This house has everything you could possibly need, from beach gear to kitchen gadgets. We stayed for a week with our boys, ages 6 and 2, and were able to take many easy trips to the beach (on foot) in addition to touring the surrounding area -- Rehoboth (Funland), Cape Henlopen, and other spots. Very relaxing and easy vacation in a wonderful house. |

Wow, what a fabulous beach house! It was the perfect place for me to host a surprise 60th birthday celebration for my husband and family. The Laughing Gull far exceeded our expectations. The Raleigh's have thought of everyting to make your vacation effortless. I love the way Helen has labeled everything, taking out the guess work. The house is beautifully decorated. Light and airy for the beach. The kitchen is so well equipped. Making it very easy to cook for a large crowd. We loved the screened porches. The outdoor shower helped keep the house clean after a day at the beach. My brother-in-law commentted that we were so comfortable, it was hard to believe none of us lived there.
Our stay at The Laughing Gull is filled with many wonderful memories. Thank you for all the special little extras that added to our memories. |

I had a 50th birthday PJ party here this weekend. It was PERFECT. This house is
so beautiful and inviting, we loved it. We are planning to make this a yearly get
together and could not ask for a better set up to stay!

Dear Helen,
I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had at your house, the
Laughing Gull. It was so comfortable, it felt like our house. The location
can't be beat: 2 - 3 minute walk to the beach and 5 - 10 minute walk to
"downtown" Lewes. The town of Lewes is so lovely and charming-- definitely
one of the area's best kept secrets. We walked all over and ate at many of the
restaurants and cafes. The beach was also perfect for our one year old. Lots
of other kids but not too crowded like Rehoboth. The house could not be
more beautiful. I can see why it is your dream house.
Best wishes,
Deborah

There's not much more to be said other than "simply the best" and thank you.

What a great week! We had the best time enjoying the comforts of such a
beautiful beach house. Our family filled the house with lots of laughs...we
managed to read a few books while enjoying the porches and the great breezes.
Thanks for sharing your home with us. Hope to return next year!

Another (our 2nd) wonderful year at 214 Midland- and a fabulous weather week for the beach! Our three generations so enjoy this house, the beach, the town and our time together. Our days were filled with sun, laughs and fun on the beach! Thank you again for sharing your home with us, the new grill was greatly appreciated! Looking forward to next year!!

Hi Helen,
We are back from our truly wonderful week in Lewes. The house fit nine of us
comfortably and is perfectly laid out for a week at the beach (multiple
screened decks, outdoor shower, grill etc). We all loved it. The Lewes beach
was ideal for our five year old twins, with its gentle bay surf, and the town
charmed us with so much to see and do and eat. We added a brochure to the
house book for the pirate ship ride which docks near Irish Eyes -- the pirate
crew could not have done a better job entertaining the kids, including a battle
at sea with water canons! And we recommend the dolphin watching boat trip
too; from the tip of the canal out to the lighthouse and back, we must have
seen 20 dolphins multiple times, a few even leaping up out of the water
(apparently it's a popular feeding site).
By the way, it was generally agreed that the Lighthouse Restaurant serves the
best fried oysters we've had in years. The Buttery and the homemade ice
cream shop on 2nd street in town got 18 thumbs up too. We even made it
over to the boardwalk in Rehoboth for the girls to get in a few rides at
Funland, and a gelato for the grown ups, more than once. But I think the
best times were eating steamed crab and grilled rock fish on the upstairs
porch at the end of the day with all of us together. We wish we were still
there!
