Located in Sussex County between Rehoboth Beach and the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal, Henlopen Acres is a seaside haven. One of Delaware’s smallest towns at just 0.27 square miles, it was envisioned in the 1930s by Colonel Wilbur S. Corkran as an “ideal residential development” for quiet-loving souls. With tree-lined streets, a private marina, and 535 feet of pristine oceanfront, this exclusive retreat offers a luxurious slice of Southern Delaware, steps from coastal excitement.
