Vacation Rental Management in Delray Beach

Yours Truly Hospitality manages vacation rentals and seasonal leases in Delray Beach, Florida, and is taking on new homes there now. Delray Beach has Atlantic Avenue, a walkable beach and some of the best deepwater canal homes in the county, and a rule owners need to hear first: in a single-family district a home whose occupancy turns over more than six times a year is presumed a transient use, which is prohibited. That makes the right model here a few longer stays, and we build the calendar around it.

Yours Truly Hospitality is a short-term rental management and interior design company for waterfront and coastal homes in Southeast Florida, from Palm Beach south to Miami. Founded and operated by Brad and Justina McRae, it offers full-service management at 20 to 25 percent of revenue, backed by three written guarantees: the Take-Home Guarantee, the Zero Bookings Guarantee and the 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. We manage larger homes with pools, three bedrooms and up, on the water or within about 30 minutes of it, in the neighborhoods where design and hospitality set the nightly rate.

Delray Beach short-term rental rules

Delray Beach runs no vacation rental registration program. Its Land Development Regulations, Section 4.3.3(ZZZ), presume that a dwelling in a Single Family or Planned Residential Development district whose occupancy turns over more than six times in any one year is a Transient Residential Use, and prohibit it there; the use is permitted in the Medium Density Residential district. The city reaffirmed that line in April 2026 with Ordinance 21-26, reverting to its 2009 rule after the stricter 2012 version was preempted by state law. Owners and their families are exempt, and a hardship waiver can be requested from Development Services. A city business tax receipt is $190.30 a year, and Palm Beach County collects a 6% tourist development tax on stays of six months or less, with a county Short-Term Rental Business Tax Receipt at $33.00 a year. The county layer is in our Palm Beach County requirements guide; the city's code section is here. Yours Truly Hospitality files every city, county and state registration a vacation rental needs, on the owner's behalf, before the first booking.

Delray Beach neighborhoods and homes that fit

Delray Beach's east side is where our portfolio fits, and the ocean is minutes from all of it. Tropic Isle is the standout: single-family homes on deepwater canals with no fixed bridges to the inlet, private docks and pools. Seagate holds the beach-area estates south of Atlantic Avenue, Palm Trail sits beside the Intracoastal and the marina, and Lake Ida and the gated Delray Lakes put larger homes on the freshwater lakes with boat access. What earns here is a designed pool home with three bedrooms or more on the water, rented up to six times a year for weeks or a season to families and winter guests.

Delray Beach owner questions

Is Airbnb legal in Delray Beach?

In a single-family district, only within a limit: a home whose occupancy turns over more than six times in a year is presumed a transient use and prohibited under Section 4.3.3(ZZZ) of the city's Land Development Regulations, a rule the city reaffirmed in April 2026. Yours Truly Hospitality builds the calendar around a few longer stays so the home stays inside the rule, and files the state and county registrations.

What does vacation rental management cost in Delray Beach?

Management is 20 to 25 percent of revenue in two published tiers: Full Service at 20 percent (the standard engagement) and Estate at 25 percent. Three guarantees attach to Full Service and Estate: the Zero Bookings Guarantee, the 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee and, for homes with a full year of rental history, the Take-Home Guarantee. The onboarding fee is quoted per property, in writing, before you sign.

How does a six-turnovers-a-year rule work with a vacation rental?

It changes the model, not the standard. A Tropic Isle or Seagate home is rented a few times a year for weeks or a season to families, relocating executives and winter guests, at a monthly or seasonal rate. Fewer turnovers mean less wear per dollar earned and a calendar that stays inside the city's rule. We model that calendar against comparable seasonal homes before quoting a number.

What kind of Delray Beach home earns the most?

A deepwater canal or beach-area pool home with three bedrooms or more and a dock, furnished and designed for a stay of weeks. The guest is choosing between a house on the water and a hotel for the season, and a designed home with a pool and a boat slip wins. We model the home against its comparable set first.
