Cedar-shake lodging cottage exterior, Havre de Grace

Most Havre de Grace listings get marketed as a generic Chesapeake Bay stay. That pitch could describe a dozen other towns, and it wastes what actually sets City of Havre de Grace, Harford County, Maryland apart. Guests who typed Havre de Grace are looking for Concord Point Lighthouse, Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, the Promenade, the Susquehanna River — not Erie, and not Highlands. 41 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 $18,791 last year from 41 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months through July 2026. The average night was $192. Occupancy was 33.1 percent. Revenue per available night was $70. Year over year is plus 3.1 percent. Active supply moved 20.6 percent. Do not average in Erie at $16,408 on 239 listings. That is a different town. Leave Highlands as a different market. Do not mix those towns. Treat this as a small sample, not a blended coast.

The three strongest months are October, August, and November. October is the busiest. February is the slowest. Most guests arrive from Baltimore, then New York. Typical stay is 3.2 nights, booked about 64 days ahead. Call Planning at 410-939-1800. City STR license Chapter 147 Article II. Confirm the live fee in MGO. Erie Zoning 814-870-1265 is another municipality. AirROI Low is a scrape John holds still show up in this sample. Confirm the live desk before you advertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical Havre de Grace STR year on this extract?

AirROI lists about $18,791 from 41 listings for August 2025 through July 2026, updated 2026-08-08. Average night was $192, occupancy was 33.1 percent, and year over year was up 3.1 percent. Treat this as a small-sample figure specific to Havre de Grace — don't blend it with Erie's $16,408 or Highlands' $34,275.

Can I average Erie into this year?

No. Erie published $16,408 from 239 listings, a much larger and separate Chesapeake-area market. Cite Havre de Grace's $18,791 from its own 41 listings only, and confirm current permit status directly before advertising a Havre de Grace address with another city's numbers.

Which months are strongest in Havre de Grace?

October, August, and November are the three strongest months, with October the busiest and February the slowest. Occupancy for the year sits at 33.1 percent against the $18,791 typical-year figure from 41 listings. With a sample this size, treat any single month's swing carefully.

Where do guests come from?

Baltimore is the top origin, followed by New York. Typical stay is 3.2 nights with about 64 days of lead time, and Superhost share runs high at 92.7 percent. Serve the guest who actually typed Havre de Grace rather than a generic Chesapeake Bay pitch.

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

No — that label reflects a data scrape, not a confirmed rule set. Call Planning at 410-939-1800; the city requires an STR license under Chapter 147, Article II of the Municipal Government Ordinance, and the live fee should be confirmed directly. Erie's zoning office (814-870-1265) covers a separate municipality, and Erie and Highlands are separate markets that shouldn't be folded into this figure.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. Only about 7.3 percent of listings, 3 of them, use a 30-night minimum stay filter here — a small share on a small sample. Typical stay length is 3.2 nights, and that filter setting says nothing about how full the calendar actually runs.

What should a buyer packet carry?

Cite $18,791 from 41 listings, the strongest months of October, August, and November, February as the slowest, Baltimore as the top guest origin, a 3.2-night typical stay with 64 days of lead time, and the Planning number, 410-939-1800. Label Erie's $16,408 and Highlands' $34,275 separately rather than averaging them in.

Is Highlands the same market as Havre de Grace?

No. Highlands, New Jersey published $34,275 from 43 listings, a separate market with its own extract. Havre de Grace's figure is $18,791 from 41 listings, with February as its slowest month. Confirm current permit rules at 410-939-1800 before advertising either town's numbers as the other's.

Work with Crest & Cove Creative

Havre de Grace's lighthouse-and-Promenade market gets pitched as a generic Chesapeake Bay stay that could describe a dozen shoreline towns, and that vague caption loses the guest searching for this town by name.

Crest & Cove writes Havre de Grace listings around the Concord Point Lighthouse, the Maritime Museum, and the Susquehanna waterfront, not a blended bay caption borrowed from another city.
