"... location played a very large role in our decision to purchase a home in Baywood. It is not equaled by any community we have seen in the Rehoboth area. The Pot Nets Bay beaches are added values to our Baywood home. For me, the golf course is a dream come true; I have not played any course in the U.S. that is more beautiful... the pool is fantastic and coffee in the gazebo during the early morning is like being on your own private estate."

".Mr. Tunnell is not content with the mere natural beauty of Baywood. He is almost like a man obsessed to make it the "garden spot of Sussex County". When I'm home, I can't describe the beauty of the place."

"I know for many the problem is the land lease agreement and I must admit until I did some thinking and investigating, it was a problem for me. Being a Financial Planner, I understand the psyche of the American invcstor or buyer. Our country was founded by people who experienced great hardships to come here so they could own land ... The attitude was own it, don't rent it. Times have changed; more people today lease cars than ever before and the time share business is going full blast.

Even the traditional mortgage is a lease from the bank until you have satisfied your mortgage time commitment. The key today is the individual or company you lease from and this is where I had little problem. The track record of Rob Tunnell and his late father is sterling. They technically have been in the land lease business for over fifty years and according to all I found out, they have always lived up to their obligations as lessors.

The second positive I found, after meeting and talking to Rob and some of his employees, is the passion he has for Baywood. He is driven to make the golf course and community a show place. With this kind of environment, Baywood will not only hold its value, but surely increase its value."

"I was searching for the right beach home for some time, but never found a property that suited me and my budget at the same time. That all changed when my buddy brought me to Baywood to play golf. The flowers, the new homes and landscaping all made quite an impression. We had an amazing time playing that day. I have played lots of places (Augusta National and Shinnecock included), and I was very impressed at the beauty and playability of the course.

I scheduled a tour of the homes and was surprised by the variety and price. Through much patience (on your part) and indecision (on my part), I settled on a beautiful two-story. As much as I love my layout and amenities, I think the value is what sold me. I could not believe that I could be in a very customized home, for a reasonable price."

"As you live your life you experience three things: the past, present and future. After raising our children, paying for college, weddings and becoming grandparents, our time is now for our future.

We searched the east coast for the perfect affordable home. As we visited the state of Delaware we were introduced to Baywood. We searched no further!!!

As we entered the grand and gracious entrance, we could see the charm and style of a community we had longed for. The beauty of the traditional styling of homes, spacious walkways, landscaping ... the wide range of flowers, oak trees, picket fences, and as an avid golfer, I was impressed by the magnificent golf course and club house that was far beyond my expectations."

"My wife and I have been vacationing on the DE/MD shores for years and always had a dream of owning a vacation home in the area. We had looked at many projects over the past couple of years, but could not find "the one". On our first visit to Baywood last year, we immediately fell in love with the community. The landscaping, the neighborly atmosphere, the beautiful as well as challenging golf course, and the secluded layout were what we had been looking for.

Being a life-long conservative banker, the ground lease versus fee simple nature of home ownership was a concern. However, after reviewing the ground lease in detail, we became more and more comfortable with the idea of not owning the "dirt". More importantly, it made the purchase of the home affordable. As land prices continue to escalate in this area, the cost of the land can increase the purchase price by as much as 35-40%. Obviously, the higher the ultimate purchase price, the more equity that is required upon acquisition of the house. We have been owners in the community for about six months and we continue to marvel at how lucky we are to be homeowners in such a lovely community."

People come and visit us and they say they’ve seen nothing like this and to be honest with you, neither have we! Many times I’ve walked to the aerobics class in the clubhouse and think to myself, I can’t believe that I am actually living here. It’s so beautiful."
