Vacation rental management service launches in Millsboro

In a market dominated by high-fee property managers and impersonal corporate models, Delmarva Coastal Consultants has officially opened its doors in Millsboro with a mission to shake up vacation rental management across the Delaware and Maryland coastlines.

Founded by vacation rental industry veterans Joseph and Michelle Henderson, the family-owned, boots-on-the-ground business gives homeowners and property investors professional management support without requiring them to sacrifice ownership control or profits.

“We’re not a big-box company with inflated commissions and one-size-fits-all service,” said Joseph Henderson, founder and CEO. “We’re local, we’re personal, and we’re here to work alongside property owners, not take over.”

The flexible, co-management model delivers personalized service, smarter pricing and hands-on support while keeping owners fully in the driver’s seat.

Core services include smart revenue optimization and dynamic pricing; high-converting listings on Airbnb, Vrbo and more; full guest communication from inquiry to checkout; scheduling of cleaning and readiness services; and strategic consulting for both new and experienced investors

“We give owners the tools, guidance, and manpower to grow without handing over the keys to their business,” said Michelle Henderson, co-founder and director of guest services. “It’s about partnership, not control.”

As more homeowners look to maximize rental income, many faces tough choices between DIY stress and costly management contracts. Delmarva’s hybrid model bridges the gap, offering expert help at a monthly flat fee and lower commissions, keeping more revenue in the owner’s pocket.
