Henlopen Acres

A Quiet, Coastal Neighborhood by the Atlantic

Henlopen Acres is one of Delaware’s smallest incorporated towns, and also one of its most unique! Set along the Rehoboth–Lewes Canal and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, this exclusive coastal community offers a peaceful, private setting just steps from all the fun and energy of Rehoboth Beach. With quiet residential streets, mature trees, and water on nearly every side, it’s a dream location for anyone who wants a relaxed, seaside lifestyle without the busy feel of a resort town.   

A Town Shaped by its Shoreline

Life in Henlopen Acres has a distinctly nautical feel. Residents enjoy access to a private beach club, a community marina, and easy routes to both Rehoboth Bay and Delaware Bay. Whether it’s sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding or simply spending the day by the ocean, the outdoor lifestyle is front and centre here. Many homes sit close to the canal, offering beautiful views and a sense of calm that comes with being surrounded by nature.

Home to the Rehoboth Art League

Adding to its charm, Henlopen Acres is also home to the Rehoboth Art League, located in the historic 1930s homestead that helped shape the town itself. Its exhibitions, classes, festivals, and events bring a creative, cultural touch to the community and create a lovely sense of place for residents who enjoy the arts.
