Craving a weekend in the sun and sand? Last-minute Airbnbs to snag at the Delaware beaches

Thinking about a last-minute trip to the Delaware beaches this weekend, but worried accommodations are booked?

We've got you covered. We scoured Airbnb for the best deals in the best locations and found four spots still available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday night this weekend.

Townhouse in walking distance of downtown Lewes

This townhouse, east of Coastal Highway in Lewes is "in walking distance to trails, downtown and restaurants," and has free parking, according to the description. It's $275 per night for two adults (plus a cleaning and Airbnb service fee), with two separate beds in one room. No children or pets.

"It's a great deal because the townhouse is having a few renovations but is entirely functional," the description says.

If you're only at the beach for the weekend, chances are you aren't going to be spending much time at the townhouse, but it has all the necessary stuff: full bathroom, full kitchen, washer and dryer, air conditioning, Wi-Fi.

This listing had only two reviews, but both were good.
