Rehoboth By The Sea

Oceanfront Real Estate Dewey Beach

Rehoboth by the Sea is an oceanfront neighborhood located on the north side of Dewey Beach. This partially wooded and charming real estate in Dewey Beach is primarily situated east of Rt. 1, just south of Silver Lake and along the Atlantic Ocean. Residents of this neighborhood enjoy a nice wide beach and easy walks to all the attractions of Dewey and Rehoboth Beach.

Established circa 1925, this Dewey Beach Delaware real estate at Rehoboth by the Sea consists of single family homes, townhomes and condos. Rehoboth by the Sea is very unique, as it includes both “in fee” and “leasehold” or “land lease” properties. A property offered “in fee” includes the land and the “leasehold” properties include the improvements (structure) and the remaining leasehold interest in the land.

Rehoboth by the Sea Realty Company were the original developers and due to slow sales in the early years, they began to offer non-renewable land leases in the 1950’s and 1960’s. The majority of these were for a term of 60 years and many of the 200+ leases expire prior to 2025. Upon expiration, these home owners are required to vacate the property and restore the land to its original condition. Financing the “land lease” properties tends to be difficult and the majority of the buyers pay cash. The positives of “land leases” are prices being a fraction of an “in fee” property and the low lease rates. The average land lease in Rehoboth by the Sea is less than $1,000 per year.
