By The Numbers: 2025 In Review
How We Stack Up Against the Market
Our Los Angeles portfolio booked 70.1% of available nights in 2025, compared to 44% among similar listings within Airbnb. In the most competitive short-term rental market in California, this performance reflects disciplined pricing, review velocity, and consistent operational execution.
Dynamic pricing, pet-friendly positioning, and a focus on longer stays help us extract more value from each calendar while protecting peak-season rates and guest quality.
Our listings averaged 120% more page views than comparable homes during Jan ’25 → Jan ’26, according to data collected through Airbnb.
High-impact photography, A/B-tested headlines, and dynamic pricing tools keep us locked above the fold, reaching travelers before they even start filtering.
Our listings appeared on page one 56.5% of the time in 2025, compared to 26% for similar listings on Airbnb.
This consistent placement reflects pricing discipline, photography quality, and review velocity across our portfolio.
Our listings converted at 0.30% in 2025, compared to 0.16% for similar listings on Airbnb. That gap represents an 88% conversion advantage, up from 60% in 2024.
Higher conversion means more bookings from the same traffic, translating directly into higher occupancy and net revenue.
Our guests stayed an average of 10.9 days in 2025, compared to 5.5 days for similar listings on Airbnb.
This nearly 2x advantage reflects intentional design, pricing strategy, and a belief that longer stays are the future of short-term rentals.
Why Long Beach Is Perfect for Vacation Rentals
Coastal Appeal with Legal Short-Term Rental Options
Unlike many LA neighborhoods, Long Beach allows legal short-term rentals with the right registration. That gives homeowners a unique opportunity to operate vacation rentals within a compliant framework.
From Belmont Shore to Naples Island to Downtown Long Beach, the city attracts cruise passengers, professionals, convention visitors, and beachgoers—all looking for stylish, well-managed homes near the water. Properties here perform well both as Airbnb and VRBO listings, especially when managed professionally.
Full-Service Short-Term Rental Management
Listing, Cleaning, Compliance, and Guest Support
Our Long Beach Airbnb management approach covers every detail:
- STR registration guidance and compliance
- Dynamic pricing via PriceLabs
- Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com optimization
- Guest communication and late-night support
- Turno-integrated cleanings with photo audits
- 5-star review strategy and guest screening
This is not just short-term rental management—it’s full-spectrum, hospitality-forward service for every stay.
A Legal Path for Short-Term Rental Income
How to Operate Within Long Beach Rules
Long Beach separates short-term rentals into two categories: primary residence and non-primary residence. As of now, both types are allowed with proper registration and adherence to city regulations.
We’ve guided homeowners through the process successfully. If your home qualifies, we’ll manage the application, help structure your calendar, and set pricing that outperforms the market.
Maximize Exposure Across Major Platforms
Airbnb and Beyond: Multi-Channel Visibility
Omni-channel exposure on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, plus our direct site.
Long Beach vacation rental management is about more than just being on Airbnb. We publish and maintain your listing across multiple channels to increase visibility and diversify your guest base. This results in more bookings and less vacancy.
Monthly and Mid-Term Rentals Are a Smart Alternative
Flexible Booking Strategies That Adapt With Demand
While short-term rentals thrive in Long Beach, many homeowners also tap into the monthly rental market. Extended stays from digital nomads, travel nurses, and relocating families are common in this area.
We build flexible strategies for each property, allowing you to capture both short-term profits and long-term stability—without committing exclusively to one or the other.
