Oyster House Village

The homes were built by Gemcraft Homes from 2024 into 2025. The builder's last new home was still listed in 2026, and the first resales have started to come up.
Layout: three levels as standard, with the garage and entry on the ground floor and the main living area and kitchen on the third level. An optional fourth-level loft adds a bedroom, a bath and a deck.
Size: about 3,213 to 3,789 heated square feet, not counting the garage and porches.
Bedrooms: four bedrooms and three and a half baths as standard, including two primary suites, and up to six bedrooms and five and a half baths with the loft.
Features: a three-car garage, screened porches on several levels, and an elevator or an elevator shaft in many of the homes. Ask us which a specific home has.
Recent prices: 2025 and 2026 listings ran from about $1.48 million to about $1.75 million, and some of those included a boat slip.
The floor plans are on this page. We will pull the listing for any home so you can see its exact levels and features.

The amenities sit along the canal side of the community.
Pool: an outdoor in-ground pool with a pool house.
Bocce: a bocce court overlooking the canal.
Dock: a community dock on the canal, with a launch for kayaks and paddleboards.
Boat slips: 13 slips at the community marina. A public boat ramp is next door for trailered boats.

There are 13 boat slips for 30 homes, so not every home comes with one.
Sold separately: in 2025 listings, a slip was offered with a home for about $50,000 on top of the home price.
What to check: whether a slip conveys with the home you are looking at, and what the association charges for slip upkeep.
The canal: the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal connects north to Lewes and the Delaware Bay and south to Rehoboth Bay. Ask about depth and bridge clearance for your boat.
If a slip matters to you, tell us up front. We will find out which homes have one before you tour.

Oyster House Village has a Rehoboth Beach address and sits on the canal between Route 1 and downtown Rehoboth Beach.
Beaches: the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk and the ocean are under two miles away.
Health care: Beebe's main hospital on Savannah Road in Lewes is about six miles north.
Everyday errands: Safeway and ALDI on Route 1 in Rehoboth Beach, and The Fresh Market on Veterans Way.
Schools: Cape Henlopen School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

Oyster House Village has a homeowners association that maintains the grounds and the water amenities.
What the fees cover: per recent listings, the common areas, lawn care, management, the pier and dock, the pool, reserves, the roads, snow removal and trash.
Recent figures: 2025 and 2026 listings show $450 a month.
Ownership: some listings show the homes as condominium ownership, even though each home is detached. The resale certificate will show exactly what you own.
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 electric heat pumps, a tankless water heater and a propane fireplace in the homes we have seen listed.
Maintenance: the association handles lawn care and the common areas.
On the water: a home on the canal can carry flood insurance requirements. Ask your insurer for a quote on the specific home before you write an offer.
Rentals: some listings mention summer rental history. Confirm the association's rental rules for the specific home.
Ask us for the association documents before you write an offer.

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: the property tax bill is Sussex County and school tax. Whether a city tax applies depends on whether the home is inside the Rehoboth Beach city limits, so confirm that for the specific address. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
