Welcome toBay Pointe
Bay Pointe is an established waterfront community of 165 single family homes bordered by Herring Creek and Rehoboth Bay, west of Lewes. Developed by local firm Reed Ventures and built out by Ryan Homes, Capstone Homes and several custom builders, the community is sold out, so homes come to market as resales. The amenities have never been better: the clubhouse was just completely redesigned, and new bocce, cornhole and horseshoe courts joined the waterfront park, pier and pool. For current community dues, what they cover, and property taxes on any specific home, ask us. We keep answers to questions like these that you will not find on the big search sites.

An Established Waterfront Community
Bay Pointe is an established community of 165 single family homes bordered by Herring Creek and Rehoboth Bay, in the Angola area west of Lewes. Nearly a third of the land is preserved open space, four lakes with fountains dot the neighborhood, and many homes back to ponds, woods or water. The community is sold out, so homes come to market as resales, and they are worth the wait.
The Homes
Bay Pointe is all single family homes, most designed around first floor living, ranging from about 1,400 square feet to well over 3,000. Ryan Homes and Capstone Homes built most of the community, joined by several custom builders, so the streetscape has more variety than a one builder community. Two car garages are the norm, and some homes even have basements, finished or unfinished, which is a rare find at the beach.
The floor plans further down this page are from the community's original build out. We keep them as a reference because this kind of history is hard to find anywhere else.
The Amenities
The amenity campus just got a full refresh. The clubhouse has been completely redesigned, with a large meeting and recreation room that feels like a calm day at the beach, a new library and conference room, a fitness center, a kitchen, and men's and women's locker rooms. Outside are the outdoor pool, new bocce, cornhole and horseshoe courts, a waterfront park on the bay, and a pier for fishing and crabbing with a kayak launch. There is even a free storage lot for your boat or RV.

A Local Developer's Vision
Bay Pointe was developed by Reed Ventures, the firm of award winning local developer Joe Reed, whose Sussex County communities also include Henlopen Landing, Estates at Bridle Ridge and Bay Ridge Woods. The plan called for 165 homesites on the water with nearly thirty percent of the land kept open, and buyers responded: the community sold out. The story did not stop at the last settlement either. The homeowners association keeps investing in the place, most recently a complete redesign of the clubhouse and a slate of brand new outdoor amenities, which tells you plenty about how the community feels about its future.
Between the Creek and the Beaches
Bay Pointe sits along Herring Creek where it opens toward Rehoboth Bay, off Route 24 in the Angola area. Everyday shopping, restaurants and medical care are minutes away along the Route 24 corridor, the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk is about ten miles, and downtown Lewes and Lewes Beach are about twelve. Close enough for a beach evening, far enough that summer traffic is something you visit, not something you live in.
The HOA
Bay Pointe has an active homeowners association that maintains the clubhouse, pool, waterfront park, pier and common grounds, with professional property management. Lawn care has historically been part of the package here. Dues and exactly what they cover change from year to year, so we do not publish numbers that could go stale. Ask us for the current figures on any home you are considering, along with the HOA documents. We keep them on file.
Life at Bay Pointe
Life here gathers at the water and the clubhouse. Kayaks go in at the launch, crab pots and fishing lines go off the pier, and the waterfront park catches the light over the bay at the end of the day. The redesigned clubhouse carries the rest of the calendar, with a recreation room that feels like a day at the beach, a library for quiet mornings and a fitness center that saves a drive to the gym. Bocce, cornhole and horseshoes settle the friendly arguments.
Property Taxes
Sussex County property taxes are among the lowest in the region, one of the reasons Delaware draws so many buyers from higher tax states. The county recently completed a reassessment, so older figures you find online are likely out of date. Ask us for the current tax figure on any specific home. It takes minutes for us to pull and it will be right.
Bay PointeFloor Plans
The original build out was anchored by five Ryan Homes models, all with first floor owner's suites and low maintenance living, with Capstone Homes and custom builders adding their own designs. These plans are no longer sold new, but most resales in Bay Pointe trace back to one of these five, so they are worth knowing:
