I am writing to commend Christine Davis of Lee Ann Wilkinson's team for the terrific job she did in helping us find and purchase a wonderful vacation home in Rehoboth Beach. Christine was simply great...we benefitted enormously from the countless hours she spent researching the market and planning our house hunting trip...she want far beyond the call of duty to make the purchase process. which culminated in a very smooth settlement, as easy on us as possible. We can not say enough good things about Christine. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone seeking a house in the Lewes or Rehoboth Beach area.

Lewes Beach, for the purposes of real estate searches on the MLS is the area bordered by the canal to the east and includes homes which are outside of planned, or gated neighborhoods.
A wide range of homes both in age, style and size makes Lewes Beach feel less stuffy than some other resort towns. While there are larger homes standing alongside cottages, the houses generally blend well together and the lots are zoned with setback requirements imposed by the city.
All roads and beach entrances are publicly accessible, yet most
Lewes Beach and Leased Land
One confusing feature that newcomers discover about Lewes Beach property is that the land is technically not held "in fee simple" (outright) but on "leased land". For most properties that sit on leased land (in fact, with every other development in this county that we know of including, anything on Dewey Beach that sits on leased land), the homeowner pays an annual, quarterly, or monthly fee to a private landowner for a set period of time, for the right to keep their home on such land. The landowner may choose to renew the lease at the end of such period or not.
This is NOT the case with Lewes Beach. Due to the way the land was originally chartered (way back in the late 1600s or early 1700s) the city of Lewes will technically always own all land east of the Lewes Canal and leases each lot on this land to homeowners in 99 year renewable leases. There is no fee to renew this lease and there is no annual fee for this lease unless you count your city taxes which cover the public water and sewer and trash pickup. These leases automatically renew after 99 years OR if a new property owner/ buyer requests a renewal, the city will reset the lease at 99 years when the property changes hands. Many new property buyers do this because it gives them a sense of security but it is generally considered un-necessary.
