Welcome to “Shell We Par-Tee,” a luxurious bayside retreat nestled in The Peninsula community on the Indian River Bay in Millsboro, Delaware. Overlooking the picturesque 13th island green, this stunning coastal home offers a perfect blend of upscale comfort, designer finishes, and unforgettable outdoor views. Designed with relaxation and entertaining in mind, the open-concept layout features soaring ceilings, lofty windows, and natural light that fills the space with warmth and serenity.

This spacious home includes four en-suite bedrooms, thoughtfully appointed with king or queen beds, flat-screen TVs, and spa-style bathrooms featuring glass-enclosed showers and elegant tilework, giving every guest their own private sanctuary. The main living area on the second floor boasts a vaulted great room with a modern gas fireplace, seamlessly connected to an elegant dining area and a chef’s kitchen. The kitchen is outfitted with quartz countertops, a large eat-in island, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, a 5-burner cooktop, dual wall ovens, a microwave with convection setting, and soft-close cabinetry.

A second living area on the first floor provides an additional space to relax or gather, especially for larger groups. Both the upstairs and downstairs living rooms are equipped with built-in Sonos speakers, easily controlled with the Sonos app, so guests can enjoy rich, immersive sound while watching TV or relaxing with music throughout the home.

Outdoor living is a highlight, with a covered deck for alfresco dining, a built-in grill, and an outdoor fireplace offering cozy ambiance. Downstairs, a paver patio offers lounge seating right on the water’s edge, and dual front porches on both floors invite you to sip morning coffee or unwind after a day of adventure.

Additional luxury touches include a 3-car garage with an electric vehicle charger, ample parking, and an in-home elevator for added convenience when bringing in groceries or luggage. Guests also enjoy full access to The Peninsula’s world-class amenities—including an outdoor wave pool that’s a favorite for both kids and adults. Spend the day splashing in the waves, lounging poolside, or grabbing lunch and drinks at the adjacent Terrace Grill. The community also offers an indoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, an exclusive bayside beach perfect for sun and sand, and dining at the beautifully designed clubhouse. Golf lovers can tee off at the award-winning Jack Nicklaus Signature Course right on site.

Adventure continues beyond the gates with kayaking, biking, fishing, and a short drive to the charming seaside towns and beaches of Rehoboth and Lewes.
