Description
Wake up to the water every day in this beautifully kept 2-bedroom home in Mariners Cove, complete with your own private boat slip! A huge screened porch, sunroom with half bath, and large deck make it easy to enjoy the bay from your morning coffee to the evening sunsets. Well maintained and full of thoughtful updates, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath waterfront MODULAR home in Mariners Cove offers character and comfort that the newer, cookie-cutter mobiles often lack. With traditionally-built-home features, inside and out, this waterfront residence feels inviting year-round. Enjoy evenings on the huge screened porch, relax in the welcoming sunroom, or gather on the spacious deck overlooking the dock and water. Inside, the kitchen features an extended countertop that doubles as a dining space, making everyday meals simple and casual, and there's a lovely corner fireplace in the living room for chilly nights. The 12x24 shed with electric, workbench, and pegboard is ready for hobbies, or storage of your fishing gear and golf cart. Behind the charm is real peace of mind: PVC and copper plumbing, a fully encapsulated crawlspace with sump pump and French drains, and years of attentive maintenance. This is a home designed for comfort, not just for weekends! When you’re ready to head out on the bay, your private boat slip is just steps from the door, offering direct access to Rehoboth Bay for boating, fishing, or simply enjoying the water. Skip the traffic and the hunt for parking: Rusty Rudder in Dewey is just a short 20 min boat ride away! Note on lease terms: This property’s land lease is non-transferable and will reset at the 2025 market rate of $1,664/month. While different from some homes in the community, this required the house to be offered at a more affordable price than other waterfront options. At $159,900, this home is one of the lowest-cost waterfront homes in Sussex County. If you’ve been looking for a great condition, full-time water-access home with character, charm, and direct bay access, this one is ready to welcome you! Mariner’s Cove offers a beautiful pool, covered picnic pavilion, clubhouse/game room, boat slips and a boat ramp. With ongoing bulkhead and dock replacement being made by the park owner, noticeable improvements in drainage have already been achieved, reducing water accumulation along the roadways and yards, enhancing your waterfront living experience. Just 5–7 minutes away from shopping, dining, and all conveniences. A park application, including credit, background, and income/asset verification, is required for residency. *Modular homes are not the same as mobile and manufactured. They are built with wood framing, just like traditionally built homes, and sit on block foundations. There are no wheels underneath, and no steel chassis to corrode in the salt water environment. The subfloors are sturdy plywood, rather than particle board, and the home features traditional double pane, energy efficient, vinyl-clad windows.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
