The Residences at Rehoboth Bay

The final building was completed in 2025, so homes here are now mostly resales, with any remaining first-sale units sold through the builder.
Layouts: two and three bedrooms, two baths, from about 1,086 to 1,397 square feet. The floor plans are below on this page.
Inside: 9 foot ceilings, granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, a full-size stacked washer and dryer, and a private balcony.
Systems: natural gas heat and cooking with a tankless gas water heater in the homes we have seen listed.
Construction: frame buildings set on pilings, built from about 2019 through 2025.
Recent prices: 2025 and 2026 listings have run from the mid $300,000s to the mid $400,000s.
Views differ a great deal by building and floor, from the creek to woods and wetlands. Ask us which way a unit faces before you tour.

The amenities are small and centered on the water.
Pool: an outdoor pool with a pool house and patio.
On the water: a boardwalk along Love Creek, kayak storage racks and a kayak launch.
Boats: boat slips at the marina, offered as available, plus easement access to a boat ramp. A boat club has operated on site in season.
Grounds: grills, bike racks, sidewalks and assigned parking with overflow spaces.

Two things shape the cost of owning here: it is a condominium, and it sits in a flood zone on the creek.
One fee, more inside it: the condominium fee covers the master insurance policy and flood insurance on the buildings, along with water and trash. That is a cost a buyer would otherwise carry separately.
Your insurance: the association insures the buildings, and you insure the inside of your unit and your belongings. Your insurer should read the master policy.
Rentals: short-term rentals are allowed with a one-week minimum, according to recent listings. Some units are rented in season.
Boat slips: a slip is not part of buying a unit. Ask how slips are assigned and what they cost before you count on one.
We will get the resale certificate before you commit, so you see the fees, the rules and the reserves up front.

The Residences at Rehoboth Bay has a Lewes mailing address but sits outside the City of Lewes limits, in unincorporated Sussex County.
Beaches: Rehoboth Beach and Cape Henlopen State Park are each about seven to nine miles away.
Health care: Beebe's Rehoboth campus on Route 24, with its Specialty Surgical Hospital, is a few miles east. Beebe's main hospital and emergency department are in Lewes.
Everyday errands: Redner's Fresh Market off Route 24 and the grocery stores along Route 1 are a short drive.
Schools: Cape Henlopen School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

The Residences at Rehoboth Bay is a condominium association. Recent listings show no separate homeowners association on top of it.
What the fee covers: the master insurance policy, flood insurance on the buildings, water, trash and recycling, common area upkeep and cleaning, landscaping, snow removal, and the pool and pool house.
Recent figures: 2025 listings show condominium fees of about $3,344 to $3,666 a year, or about $916 a quarter, depending on the unit.
At settlement: check the resale certificate for any one-time capital contribution.
Fees change. We will get the current figure for any home you are considering.

The practical details of owning here.

Parking: assigned spaces near each building, plus a lot for overflow. There are no garages.
Pets: confirm the pet rules in the condominium documents for the specific unit.
Ask us for the condominium 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 Residences at Rehoboth Bay is outside the City of Lewes limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, so the property tax bill is county and school tax with no town tax on top. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
