The lot is on a private cul de sac only two houses from the walkway over the dunes to the pristine beach. The amenity-rich community offers unlimited outdoor activities including pool and beach swimming and sunbathing, tennis, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, fishing, crabbing, and birding. Bike the Breakwater and Junction trail to Rehoboth. Hike, surf, and swim in the Atlantic from the adjacent Cape Henlopen State Park. Historic downtown Lewes with its charming canal-side restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and museums is only a short bike ride away. Your house guests can hop the Cape May Ferry which sails right by Cape Shores to the terminal down the street. No builder tie-ins and no time constraints to build.
