Brentwood Airbnb Management
Premium Airbnb and Monthly Property Management in 90049
Brentwood Airbnb management by Open Air Homes covers short-term and monthly stays from San Vicente to the hills above Sunset. Brentwood has a lot of beautiful homes and a lot of furnished inventory, which makes pricing the most important decision you will make here.
Some homes here deserve their high rates. Many do not book at them. In a softer market with this much inventory, an overpriced home sits empty while a well priced one earns all year.
As of September 2026, Open Air Homes manages 26 homes on the Westside and more than 100 homes overall.
Open Air Homes is the only Los Angeles based company in AirDNA’s 2026 ranking of the top 100 property managers in the US, ranked #25 nationally with a 4.91 average guest rating. See how the ranking works.

Navigate Brentwood's STR Rules With Confidence
Legal Short-Term Rentals for Primary Residences
Short-term stays under 30 nights are allowed only in your primary residence with a City of Los Angeles Home-Sharing permit, capped at 120 nights a year unless you qualify for Extended Home-Sharing.
Most Brentwood homes we speak with run as monthly rentals of 30 nights or more. Those need no permit and suit the relocating families and executives who book here.
Applying for a permit? Read our step by step Los Angeles Home-Sharing permit application guide. It covers eligibility, the documents the City accepts, and the seven errors that cause denials.
Maximize Income From Your Brentwood Home
Priced to Book, Not Just to Impress
Brentwood guests expect a well kept home, fast Wi-Fi, and quiet. We deliver that with professional photography, PriceLabs pricing, and guest vetting before every stay.
Demand runs on UCLA calendars, relocations, and families between homes. We price for those bookings rather than for a rate that only looks good on a listing.
We list your home on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, plus our direct site.
High Nightly Rates Are Not the Same as High Net Returns
Search Brentwood on Airbnb and you will see homes listed at very high nightly rates. Many of them book only a handful of nights a year, and the owner holds the listing mainly for tax purposes.
Most homes we manage are priced to rent whenever the owner is away, with a target of 70 to 80 percent occupancy and the highest net return over the year. If you only want a few bookings a year, we can help with that too. The pricing decision is always yours, and we will show you the math either way.

List Your Brentwood Home: FAQ
Are short-term rentals allowed in Brentwood?
Yes, but only if the home is your primary residence, per the City of Los Angeles’ Home Sharing Ordinance. You must obtain a Home Sharing Permit to host stays under 30 nights. Many Brentwood homeowners opt for monthly rentals, which are fully legal without any permit and offer more predictable income with less turnover.
What does monthly rental management look like in Brentwood?
We manage furnished homes for 30+ night stays, offering a turnkey solution that includes listing, leasing, guest support, cleaning coordination, and maintenance. Our Brentwood guests tend to be executives, relocating families, or digital nomads seeking a luxury vacation-style rental in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood.
Do you offer long-term leasing services as well?
Yes, Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159), and we operate a dedicated leasing division for homeowners who prefer 12-month tenants. We list on the MLS, screen applicants, and draft legal leases using California Association of Realtors (CAR) forms. Some Brentwood homeowners lease annually for one year, then switch to monthly rentals when they plan to return part-time.
What types of guests book monthly stays in Brentwood?
Our guests include tech professionals, entertainment executives, families between homes, and international visitors. They’re typically seeking design-forward homes with privacy, outdoor space, and proximity to top schools, Brentwood Country Mart, or Sunset Blvd.
How much can I earn with monthly rental management in Brentwood?
Furnished monthly rentals in Brentwood often earn 20 to 30% more than unfurnished long-term leases. Homes with pool access, ADUs, outdoor kitchens, and updated interiors command premium rates. Our model is ideal for homeowners who live in the home part of the year and rent it out seasonally or when traveling.
How do you screen guests for both monthly and short-term stays?
We rely on Airbnb and VRBO’s built-in verification tools and typically disable Instant Book, requiring guests to message us first. This gives us a chance to vet each inquiry through custom questions and assess if the guest is respectful and aligned with our standards. Since we manage homes in neighborhoods where we live and work, we’re careful to only host guests who will be good neighbors.
How do you determine monthly pricing for Brentwood homes?
We use a combination of PriceLabs, Airbnb data, Zillow comps, and internal booking history to set rates. As a brokerage, our Broker of Record signs off on every monthly lease amount to ensure legal compliance. Homes north of Sunset Blvd or near Kenter, Bundy, and San Vicente often perform best.
Why do Brentwood homeowners choose Open Air Homes?
We offer legal, high touch Airbnb and monthly rental management built for Brentwood’s luxury market, hosting since 2012 with a 4.89 rating and a licensed brokerage behind every lease. In 2026, AirDNA ranked Open Air Homes #25 among US property managers, the only Los Angeles based company in its national top 100. We will also tell you when a home is priced too high to book.
