Breakfast nook in a short-term rental, 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 shows Havre de Grace's 41 active listings earning roughly $18,791 on average from August 2025 through July 2026, with a $192 ADR, 33.1 percent occupancy, and a $70 RevPAR. Revenue is up 3.1 percent year over year as supply grew 20.6 percent.

Can Erie's numbers be averaged into Havre de Grace's year?

No. Erie is a separate town that logged about $16,408 across 239 listings in the same period. Blending the two produces a number that describes neither market accurately, so cite Havre de Grace's $18,791 on its own.

Which months are strongest for Havre de Grace hosts?

October, August, and November are the three strongest months, with October pulling the most bookings. February is the slowest month for both revenue and occupancy.

Where do Havre de Grace's guests come from, and how long do they stay?

Baltimore is the top origin market, followed by New York. The average stay runs 3.2 nights, and guests typically book about 64 days ahead of arrival.

Does a low-regulation label mean there's no local permit process?

No. AirROI's low-regulation tag reflects a data scrape, not a legal filing. Havre de Grace requires a city STR license under Chapter 147, Article II of the municipal code, confirmed through Planning (410-939-1800); hosts should confirm the current fee directly with the city before advertising rather than relying on a scrape label.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. About 7.3 percent of listings (3 of 41) set a 30-night minimum stay, which is a booking rule, not a measure of how full the calendar actually runs. Occupancy sits at 33.1 percent.

What should a buyer packet carry for Havre de Grace?

Cite the $18,791 average from 41 listings, the October-August-November peak months, February as the slow month, Baltimore as the lead origin market, the 3.2-night average stay, and the 64-day booking lead time, with Erie and Highlands labeled as separate markets, never blended in.

Is Highlands the same market as Havre de Grace?

No. Highlands is a different market that reported about $34,275 across 43 listings in the same period. Keep it on its own line rather than treating it as Havre de Grace's number.
