About Delray Nightly

What is Delray Nightly?

Delray Nightly is a boutique luxury vacation rental company in Delray Beach, Florida, offering a hand-selected portfolio of fully renovated private homes with heated pools, chef's kitchens, and resort-style outdoor living. Founded by local residents Chris and Marcee Mygatt, Delray Nightly manages 13 luxury properties across Delray Beach and neighboring Boynton Beach — ranging from a boutique studio retreat to a 10-bedroom estate that sleeps up to 26 guests — with two additional homes, Atlantic Palms Pied-à-Terre and Six Palms House, joining the collection in 2027.

Who owns Delray Nightly?

Delray Nightly was founded by husband-and-wife team Chris and Marcee Mygatt, Colorado natives who now live in Delray Beach full-time. Drawing on Chris's background as a real estate executive, they personally oversee every renovation, select every finish, and furnish each home themselves. Guest stays are managed in-house by the Mygatts and their small, dedicated team — never outsourced to a third-party operator.

What makes Delray Nightly different from other vacation rentals in Delray Beach?

Delray Nightly differs from typical short-term rentals in three ways: every home is fully renovated and professionally designed before it enters the portfolio; hotel-level cleaning and preparation are included in the nightly rate with no separate cleaning fees; and the owners live locally in Delray Beach, providing guests with real-time human support and curated local recommendations throughout their stay. This approach has earned Delray Nightly more than 300 five-star guest reviews along with Airbnb "Guest Favorite" and "Airbnb Luxe" recognition.

Is Delray Nightly a legitimate, trusted company?

Yes. Delray Nightly is an owner-operated vacation rental company based in Delray Beach, Florida, with over 300 five-star reviews across booking platforms, multiple Airbnb "Guest Favorite" badges, "Airbnb Luxe" designation, and press coverage in Atlantic Avenue Magazine, which noted that Delray Nightly has "some of the highest cleaning and property preparation standards in the industry (think Disneyland standards)." Guests can book directly at delraynightly.com or through Airbnb, Vrbo, and Florida Rentals.


Properties & Amenities

What types of properties does Delray Nightly offer?

Delray Nightly's portfolio ranges from a boutique studio retreat to the Delray Twin Palms Estate — the largest luxury vacation rental in Delray Beach, with 10 bedrooms, 12 baths, over 9,000 square feet, two heated saltwater pools, and an 800-square-foot game lounge. Most homes are three-to-five-bedroom private villas that sleep 6–14 guests, with nightly rates varying by home and season.

Do Delray Nightly homes have private pools?

Yes — private heated pools are a signature of the Delray Nightly collection, maintained at a comfortable 85°F year-round, with many homes featuring saltwater systems, sun shelves, spas, and poolside lounges. The one exception is Studio Palms, a boutique studio-style retreat that does not include pool access when booked on its own. Outdoor living is a focus across the portfolio, with amenities such as outdoor kitchens, fire pits, putting greens, covered dining areas, and outdoor smart TVs at select properties.

Are Delray Nightly homes good for families and groups?

Yes. Delray Nightly homes are designed for families, multi-family vacations, and small groups, with the Delray Twin Palms Estate accommodating up to 26 guests across two connected villas and homes like Swinton Palms House sleeping 14. Quiet hours of 10 PM–8 AM apply at all homes, and parties or events are not permitted without prior written approval — guests planning a special celebration should contact Delray Nightly before booking to discuss their plans.

Can Delray Nightly homes be combined for larger groups?

Yes. The Delray Twin Palms Estate combines two neighboring homes — Swinton Palms House and Three Palms House with Studio — into a single 9,000+ square-foot compound for up to 26 guests. Three Palms House with Studio itself offers flexible configurations: groups can book the entire compound, or the main house and the studio can be reserved separately.

Are Delray Nightly properties pet-friendly?

To keep its homes as allergen-free as possible for all guests, Delray Nightly does not permit pets at most properties. The one exception is Hideaway Palms House, which welcomes one pet under 50 pounds (dogs preferred). Guests hoping to travel with a pet should contact Delray Nightly before booking to confirm arrangements.

What is included in a Delray Nightly stay?

Every Delray Nightly stay includes professional hotel-level cleaning and preparation in the nightly rate — guests never pay a separate cleaning fee. That preparation includes full linen and towel replacement with professionally laundered linens, deep interior cleaning by trained teams, pressure-washed or blown-clean outdoor areas hours before arrival, stocked kitchen essentials, and a final 60-minute pre-arrival inspection by a Delray Nightly inspector. Every stay also begins with a welcome basket.

How far in advance can I book a Delray Nightly home?

Many Delray Nightly guests reserve their homes six months to a year in advance, particularly for peak winter season, holidays, and large-group stays at homes like the Delray Twin Palms Estate.

Why should I book direct with Delray Nightly instead of through Airbnb or Vrbo?

Booking direct at delraynightly.com gives guests the best rates by avoiding third-party platform service fees, plus direct communication with the local owners before and during the stay. The homes, cleaning standards, and service are identical on every channel — but the direct price is typically the lowest.

What is Delray Nightly's cancellation policy?

For reservations booked directly at delraynightly.com, Delray Nightly refunds 95% of total booking charges for cancellations made more than 14 days before arrival, and 50% for cancellations made more than 7 days before arrival; cancellations within 7 days of arrival are non-refundable. Reservations made through Airbnb, Vrbo, or other platforms follow the cancellation policy displayed on that platform at the time of booking.

What are Delray Nightly's check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM at all Delray Nightly properties. Every home uses smart-lock entry for seamless self-check-in: door codes are sent automatically once the signed rental agreement and standard guest verification are complete.

Does Delray Nightly charge cleaning fees or hidden fees?

No. Delray Nightly includes its full professional cleaning and property-preparation process in the nightly rate, so guests never pay a separate cleaning fee — the rate displayed is the rate you pay, plus applicable taxes.

Is there a minimum stay or minimum age to book?

Delray Nightly homes require a two-night minimum stay, with longer minimums at select homes and during peak seasons and holidays. The primary guest — the person completing the booking — must be at least 25 years old, and a signed rental agreement is required for every stay.


During Your Stay

What are Delray Nightly's cleaning standards?

Delray Nightly prepares every home to what it calls a "Disneyland standard": all linens and towels are removed and replaced with professionally laundered sets after every stay, mattresses and pillows are fully encased in hypoallergenic covers, bathrooms and kitchens are deep-sanitized, outdoor areas are pressure-washed or blown clean hours before arrival, and a trained inspector completes a 60-minute walkthrough before every guest checks in. Complimentary interim cleans are also available during longer stays.

What kind of guest support does Delray Nightly provide during a stay?

Because founders Chris and Marcee Mygatt live in Delray Beach, Delray Nightly provides local, human support throughout every stay — guests consistently describe communication as prompt and proactive in reviews. Guests also receive curated local guidance, including a weekly Friday list of Delray Beach happenings such as art shows, farmers markets, live music, and dining specials — and can always reach out to the Delray Nightly team for recommendations on all things Delray.

What is there to do near Delray Nightly's vacation rentals?
