Searching for a fun stay in the First State? I’ve rounded up five trending vacation rentals in Delaware that travelers can’t stop raving about. Each one’s a “Guest Favorite” with hundreds of glowing reviews—ranging from tiny homes and peaceful countryside retreats to a roomy waterfront escape. Whether you’re hanging out in Wilmington, Lewes, or somewhere in between, these stays prove there’s no shortage of great getaways right here in Delaware.

1. Tiny House at Good Earth in Ocean View

For a different kind of stay that guests keep coming back to, check out the Tiny House at Good Earth, near Bethany Beach. This small, custom home in Ocean View is clean, has a comfortable loft bed, and a full bathroom. It sits on the 10-acre Good Earth property, which is its biggest draw. Right outside your door are the garden café, two restaurants, and a market. It’s a very unique place to stay! You get a quiet, country feel, but you're only about a five-mile drive away from the beach, boardwalk, and family fun of Bethany Beach.

2. Peaceful Private Guest Suite in Lewes

Moving slightly north, this guest suite in Lewes is a calm and tucked-away apartment. It is completely separate, with its own entrance and a full kitchen, and is surrounded by trees on a big, quiet piece of land. Guests enjoy the bright rooms and the pretty front porch covered in flowers. Visitors often mention the thoughtful little touches, like the great coffee and tea area. Its location is a huge plus, placing you just minutes from the popular beaches of Lewes and Rehoboth. It’s a great base for both relaxing afternoons and shopping trips to the tax-free outlets.

3. Garden Hideaway at Cowtown Cabins in Selbyville

Escape to the countryside at the Garden Hideaway tiny house in Selbyville. This snug abode surprises with a first-floor bedroom—no ladder needed—and a layout that makes the most of its space. The real charm comes from the ranch itself: spend mornings with Fonzie the alpaca, miniature goats, and Charlotte the red-haired pig in your private barnyard. While it feels like a world apart, the beach is never far—you’re just minutes from Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, and Ocean City, Maryland.

4. Charming Tiny Home in Wilmington’s Trolley Square

Right in the heart of Trolley Square, this tiny home packs big personality into a small space. The lofted king bed adds to the homey vibe (just be ready to climb the ladder), and the pantry and fridge are loaded with goodies, from homemade bread to seasonal ice cream. Surrounded by restaurants, cafés, and the scenic Brandywine Park, the neighborhood makes it easy to enjoy Wilmington's city streets, museums, and parks.

5. Beautiful Waterfront Retreat in Lewes

Finally, for a spacious retreat with a water view, this beautiful waterfront Airbnb in the Angola By The Bay community near Lewes is a fantastic choice. This large, three-bedroom house is fully updated and can sleep eight people comfortably. Its sunny, open rooms lead out to a large deck with views of the water. Staying here means you also get to use the community perks, like a seasonal pool and docks for crabbing. While you have a peaceful, private setting, you are still only about 10 miles from the lively scenes in Rehoboth and Lewes. This makes it one of the most appealing trending vacation rentals in Delaware for a family gathering.

With glowing reviews and one-of-a-kind details, these favorites prove that Delaware knows how to make a visit feel special.
