Established landscaping, mature trees, underground lawn irrigation, and a partially fenced backyard contribute to the home’s private and inviting setting. Bayfront at Rehoboth offers distinctive waterfront amenities rarely found in other Lewes communities. The outdoor swimming pool, private sandy beach, and waterfront gazebo are set against a serene natural backdrop overlooking wetlands and Rehoboth Bay. Residents also enjoy a kayak launch with dedicated kayak storage, a clubhouse, community center, fitness center, playground, and beautifully maintained common areas. HOA services include lawn maintenance, common-area maintenance, pool access, and snow removal, leaving more time to enjoy the coastal Delaware lifestyle.
