Oyster Cove

Every home in Oyster Cove is a twin villa, and all of them are resales now.
Builder: K. Hovnanian Homes built the community, in three floor plans, all four bedrooms and three and a half baths.
Size: 2025 and 2026 listings show about 2,650 square feet on two floors.
Layout: two owner's suites, one on each floor, a great room with a cathedral ceiling and gas fireplace, a second-floor loft, and laundry on the main floor.
Age: homes were built from 2021 to 2023, so they are close to new.
Recent prices: 2025 and 2026 listings have run from about $695,000 to about $715,000.
The floor plans are below. We will pull the listing details for any home you want to see.

Oyster Cove is a small community, and its amenities are its grounds and its trail access rather than a clubhouse.
Trail access: walking paths inside the community connect to the Junction and Breakwater Trail, which runs to Rehoboth Beach by bike or on foot.
Grounds: common open space and wooded edges behind many of the homes.
Outside upkeep: lawn care, irrigation and exterior maintenance are handled by the association.
Nearby: Cape Henlopen State Park and Lewes Beach are about a 10 minute drive.

Oyster Cove is organized as a condominium even though the homes are two-story villas with garages, and that shapes how ownership works.
What you own: you own your home under a condominium declaration, and the land and grounds are common elements run by the association.
Insurance: 2025 listings show a master insurance policy paid through the association fee. Your own policy covers the inside of the home, and your agent and insurer should read the master policy.
No more building: the builder is gone and the street is complete, so what you see is what will be there.
Few sales: with 24 homes, a year can pass with only one or two listings.
We will order the condominium resale certificate before you commit, so you see the budget, the reserves and the rules up front.

Oyster Cove has a Lewes address and Sussex County zoning, which points to unincorporated Sussex County rather than the City of Lewes.
Downtown: Second Street in Lewes is about two and a half miles away.
Beaches: Lewes Beach and Cape Henlopen State Park are about three and a half to four miles away, and Rehoboth Beach is about six miles.
Health care: Beebe's main hospital on Savannah Road in Lewes is about two and a half miles away.
Errands: the Giant at Five Points is under a mile away.
Schools: Cape Henlopen School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

Oyster Cove is run by its condominium association.
What the fees cover: a 2025 listing lists the common areas, lawns, irrigation, exterior maintenance, the master insurance policy and trash.
Recent figures: listings show about $317 a month in 2025 and about $255 a month in 2026. We will confirm which is current.
Rentals: a 2026 listing shows rentals of 30 days or longer are allowed. Confirm this in the condominium documents.
Fees change. We will get the current figure for any home you are considering.

The practical details of owning here.
Utilities: public water and public sewer, with natural gas heat and hot water in the homes we have seen listed.
Garage: an attached two-car garage on every plan we have seen, and one listing has an electric car charger.
Maintenance: the association handles the lawns, irrigation and the outside of the buildings.
No basements: the listings we have seen show no basement, so storage is in the garage and the loft.
Ask us for the condominium rules before you write an offer. They cover pets, rentals and exterior changes.

Read this first: Active Adults Realty is not a tax, legal or financial advisor and nothing below is advice. Confirm every figure with your own tax professional and with Sussex County before you rely on it.
The state picture: Delaware has no state sales tax, no estate tax and no inheritance tax, and Social Security is not taxed.
The local picture: Oyster Cove appears to sit outside the City of Lewes limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, so the bill would be county and school tax with no city tax on top. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
