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.
Our Long Beach Airbnb management approach covers every detail:
This is not just short-term rental management—it’s full-spectrum, hospitality-forward service for every stay.
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.
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.
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.
We’ve spent over a decade building trust with Southern California homeowners. Our team of local cleaners, inspectors, and vendors ensure your Long Beach property is always guest-ready.

Long Beach attracts a diverse group of traveling professionals, remote workers, healthcare workers, students, and relocating families. Guests are often drawn to proximity to CSULB, the Convention Center, Belmont Shore, and waterfront areas, especially for longer stays.
Earnings depend on home size, location, and design — but monthly rentals typically earn 20–30% more than unfurnished leases, especially near the beach or Downtown. Homes with parking, updated kitchens, and walkability tend to perform best. Our pricing system adapts to seasonal and market shifts.
We start by understanding your goals and availability. Some homeowners rent year-round, while others only rent seasonally or when they’re away.
