Empty Chesapeake boatyard exterior, Deltaville

Most Deltaville listings get marketed as a generic Chesapeake Bay stay. That pitch could describe a dozen other towns, and it wastes what actually sets Deltaville, Middlesex County, Virginia apart. Guests who typed Deltaville are looking for Deltaville Marina, Deltaville Maritime Museum, Fishing Bay Yacht Club, the Rappahannock River — not Urbanna, and not Erie. 44 active listings sit on this extract. Write the town you can actually walk. Keep the listing specific. A vague water caption loses the booking.

Typical listings here earned about $26,263 last year from 44 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months through July 2026. The average night was $297. Occupancy was 35.2 percent. Revenue per available night was $104. Year over year is minus 24.5 percent. Active supply moved 0.0 percent. Do not average in Urbanna at $38,327 on 18 listings. That is a different town. Leave Erie as a different market. Do not mix those towns. Treat this as a small sample, not a blended coast.

The three strongest months are August, June, and September. August is the busiest. January is the slowest. Most guests arrive from Richmond, then Charlottesville. Typical stay is 4.0 nights, booked about 69 days ahead. Call Planning at 804-758-3382. Unincorporated Middlesex County. County STR zoning permit $75. Confirm live. Urbanna Town Hall is another municipality. Virginia Beach $500 is another municipality. AirROI Low is a scrape Evolve holds still show up in this sample. Confirm the live desk before you advertise.

Arrive at Deltaville on Purpose

That heading is the useful way to read Deltaville, not a dashboard label. Guests come for Deltaville Marina. Say that in the listing. Do not bury it under a generic Chesapeake Bay caption. Do not write Urbanna copy onto a Deltaville address. Do not use Erie as if it were this occupancy. Be specific about the walk. A vague caption loses the guest who typed this town. Keep the other town out of the title.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical Deltaville STR year on this extract?

AirROI's trailing-twelve-month extract for Deltaville, August 2025 through July 2026 (updated 2026-08-08), lists about $26,263 in typical revenue across 44 active listings. Average night runs $297, occupancy sits at 35.2 percent, and the year-over-year change is minus 24.5 percent. That is a small sample relative to bigger Chesapeake Bay markets, so treat it as directional rather than a citywide census.

Can I average Urbanna into this year?

No. Urbanna is a separate Chesapeake Bay market with its own extract, $38,327 from 18 listings — a different town, a different sample. Cite the Deltaville figure, $26,263 from 44 listings, on its own line, and confirm any town-specific detail before you advertise a stay using another town's numbers.

Which months are strongest in Deltaville?

August, June, and September are the three strongest months for Deltaville STRs, with August the outright busiest and January the slowest. Occupancy for the full year lands at 35.2 percent against that $26,263 typical revenue on 44 listings. Price around the named peaks and holes rather than a flat calendar.

Where do guests come from?

Richmond sends the most guests to Deltaville, followed by Charlottesville. Typical stays run 4.0 nights, booked about 69 days out, with a superhost share of 63.6 percent. Write listing copy for the guest who searched Deltaville specifically rather than a generic Chesapeake Bay pitch.

Does a low-regulation label mean there is no local permit?

No — a low-regulation scrape label is not the same as a clean bill from town hall. Deltaville runs its short-term rental process through Planning at 804-758-3382, covering unincorporated Middlesex County's STR zoning permit, published at $75; confirm the live fee before you advertise. Urbanna Town Hall and Virginia Beach ($500) run their own separate desks.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. About 22.7 percent of Deltaville listings — 10 of them — set a 30-night minimum, which is a booking filter, not a measure of how full a calendar actually runs. Typical stay length here is 4.0 nights, well under that threshold, so do not read minimum-stay settings as an occupancy proxy.

What should a buyer packet carry?

A Deltaville buyer packet should cite $26,263 across 44 listings, the august, june, and september peak months against a january low, Richmond as the lead origin market, a 4.0-night typical stay with a 69-day booking lead, and the Planning line at 804-758-3382. Keep Urbanna's $38,327 and Erie's $16,408 labeled separately — never averaged in.

Is Erie the same market as Deltaville?

No. Erie published $16,408 from 239 listings, a materially different Chesapeake Bay market from Deltaville's $26,263 on 44 listings with January as its slowest month. Confirm Planning at 804-758-3382 before marketing a Deltaville stay using Erie's numbers, or vice versa — keep each town's figures on its own line.
