The Dunes Hotel Rehoboth Beach has been sold
Located on the Forgotten Mile northwest of Dewey Beach, the Dunes Hotel Rehoboth Beach has been sold.
According to sales records from Sussex County, the 36-room Dunes Hotel Rehoboth Beach was sold May 28 to EVG-UDC Ventures LLC for $2.75 million. The LLC has an address of Chantilly, Va., and is a subsidiary of homebuilder Evergreene Companies.
Erin Herman, Evergreene Companies sales and marketing director, said the company does not have any finalized site plans at the moment. However, she said, the plan is to remove the hotel and build single-family homes in that area.
For many years, the hotel was known as the Sea Esta IV Motel. It changed ownership in 2018 and reopened as The Dunes Rehoboth Beach in 2019. The rectangular property is 0.69 acres, has 300 feet of road frontage and is 100 feet deep.
The hotel is not in operation right now. Instead, a large fence has been placed around the property to keep out trespassers.
