Connect With a Local Real Estate Specialist

The Village at Bear Trap Dunes is the homeowners association governing the roughly 700 single-family homes, townhomes, and golf-villa condominiums built by Carl M. Freeman Companies directly around the 27-hole Bear Trap Dunes golf course in Ocean View, Delaware. It is one of the clearest examples of a Delaware residential product purpose-built for a golf-oriented buyer -- the community's own amenity package (pools, fitness, tennis/pickleball, clubhouse, and a complimentary seasonal shuttle to Bethany Beach 3 miles away) is funded through HOA dues, while golf club membership itself remains a separate, invitation-based program.
