Looking to unwind at a luxury Airbnb in Delaware this summer? You can relax in one Dewey Beach home for a little more than $5,000 per night, a new report found.

According to its Airbnb listing, the beachfront property features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, an elevator that stops on each floor and a panoramic rooftop deck. The brand-new villa can accommodate 10 guests.

At $5,125 per night, including all fees and taxes, financial securities trading company BestBrokers found this Airbnb rental to be Delaware's priciest.

Using a seven-night stay during July 2024 — peak vacation season — as its criteria, the trading company sought to uncover the most expensive Airbnbs in each of the 50 states. Their calculations include cleaning fees, Airbnb service fees and occupancy taxes.

Ted Turner's fishing lodge in Raton is available to rent for more than $12,000 a night.

While $35,873 for a seven-night stay may be steep for the First State, Delaware's most expensive Airbnb rental appears to be a bargain compared to other states on BestBrokers' list.

Budget-friendly stays in Delaware

If you are seeking a more budget-friendly option than the priciest luxury Airbnb rentals, exploring options closer to home may yield more affordable choices for your next stay. The average cost of an Airbnb stay in the United States exceeds $216 per night, but Delaware's average nightly Airbnb rental rate is $246.

Just remember that prices tend to surge in July, especially during the week of July Fourth, due to high demand.
