About us

A local set of eyes on your coastal home

Henlopen Home Watch was founded to give second-home owners and rental hosts along the Delaware coast real peace of mind between visits.

I'm Greg Chalmers, a veteran and the owner of Henlopen Home Watch. After years of looking after homes in Lewes, Rehoboth, and the nearby beach towns, I kept seeing the same story: a small leak, a tripped breaker, or a failed HVAC unit that sat unnoticed for weeks and turned into a costly repair — or the punch list piles up, and you spend the weekend maintaining the vacation house instead of using it.

Home watch changes that. On a schedule you choose, I walk the property inside and out, look for obvious problems, and send a clear report with photos. If something needs attention, I can often fix it on the spot. If it needs a licensed trade, I coordinate the vendor and meet them at the door. I also handle one-off concierge tasks when you just need someone local to take care of it.

That work is built on years in business and fintech, and on owning and managing 18 rental properties — the maintenance, repairs, and renovations that come with keeping a house in good shape. Empty all winter or turning over every weekend to guests, the promise is the same: always watched, always guest-ready.
