Locally owned. Personally invested. Professionally proven.
A Local Company Built by Coastal People
Blue Heron Property Management was born on the Delmarva coast — not in a boardroom, but right here among the homes and neighborhoods we now serve. We’re not a franchise. We’re a locally owned and operated vacation rental management company built by people who live here, invest here, and care deeply about this coast.
Our founder, Joseph Henderson Jr., started Blue Heron Property Management with one simple mission: to protect homeowner investments, maximize rental income, and deliver exceptional guest experiences. That mission continues to guide every home we manage and every relationship we build throughout Delaware and Maryland’s coastal communities.
Focused on Vacation Rentals — And Nothing Else
We specialize exclusively in short-term and vacation rentals. No long-term leases. No real estate sales. Just full-service management that helps homeowners earn more and worry less.
From the quiet marshes of Millsboro to the beaches of Fenwick Island and the boardwalk energy of Ocean City, our portfolio spans Sussex County, Delaware, and Worcester County, Maryland. These aren’t just markets to us — they’re home.
Full-Service Management You Can Trust
Our process covers every step of ownership. We create professional listings with photography that captures each property’s personality, use dynamic pricing to stay competitive across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct channels, and manage guest communication around the clock.
Behind the scenes, our trusted local cleaning and maintenance teams maintain five-star standards that keep guests coming back. We handle compliance, taxes, and local regulations so owners can enjoy true peace of mind.
Blue Heron Property Management also continues to expand its services. We now offer premium linen rentals for both managed and self-managed homes — and we’re preparing to launch a dedicated housekeeping division to help other local hosts raise their standards.
A Commitment to Transparency and Care
We know what keeps homeowners up at night: last-minute maintenance issues, poor communication, and disappointing returns. That’s why transparency isn’t just a talking point for us — it’s the foundation of how we work. We don’t make promises we can’t keep. We stay proactive, accountable, and honest.
When we say we’ll treat your home like our own, we mean it. Our mission is simple: maximize income, protect your property, and keep guests coming back year after year.
The Guest Experience That Defines Us
Guests are the heartbeat of this business. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a month-long coastal escape, their experience should feel effortless. Every clean home, quick response, and local recommendation reflects our care and commitment.
We keep it personal, local, and genuine — because good vacations turn into lifelong memories when the people behind the stay truly care.
Why Blue Heron Property Management
What sets us apart isn’t just our services — it’s our mindset. We answer the phone when others don’t. We act fast when small issues could become big ones. We understand the difference between a beach house in Ocean View and a bayside condo in West OC — and we tailor our approach accordingly.
We’d rather manage 50 homes with excellence than 500 with compromise. That focus allows us to deliver consistency, accountability, and performance that homeowners and guests can depend on.
The Blue Heron Standard
As we grow, our commitment remains the same: quality over quantity, community over convenience, and relationships over transactions. “Locally owned, personally invested, professionally proven” isn’t a slogan — it’s a standard we live by.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking for reliable management, a guest planning your next coastal getaway, or a vendor who shares our values, we invite you to be part of the Blue Heron experience.
