A turnkey coastal home in a rental-friendly community — pool and tennis on-site, an easy bike or shuttle to the boardwalk, and summer nights that rent for $400–500. Rent it, use it, or both.
Most of what makes a short-term rental profitable — and most of what usually kills the deal — is decided before you ever buy. This one clears the hard parts up front.
The single biggest short-term-rental risk — an HOA or town that bans them — doesn't apply here. Weekly rentals are allowed in the Keys of Marsh Harbor, and Delaware is a famously low-regulation rental market.
Rehoboth is a drive-to destination for D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia. Summer population swells past 25,000, July is the peak, and nightly rates have been climbing as demand outpaces supply.
No state sales tax draws shoppers to the outlets and boardwalk, and property taxes are strikingly low — a neighboring home in this community paid about $910 a year. More of the rent stays yours.
Drag the sliders to build your own pro forma — rates and occupancy by season, your management style, and optional financing. Everything updates live. Defaults reflect current Rehoboth market rates.
Estimates for planning only, not a guarantee of results. Operating costs held at ~$15,600/yr (taxes ~$1,200, HOA ~$3,600, STR insurance ~$2,500, utilities ~$4,800, upkeep ~$3,500 — confirm HOA dues). Guest cleaning fees are typically passed through. Financing assumes a 30-year fixed loan; excludes closing costs. Verify all figures independently.
