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.

💬 List Your Topanga Canyon Home: FAQ
1. How does vacation rental management work in Topanga Canyon?
In a place as unique as Topanga Canyon, vacation rental management requires a thoughtful approach. Open Air Homes handles everything from Airbnb and VRBO listing setup to guest screening, 5-star clean coordination, restocking supplies, and managing reviews. Whether it’s a secluded modern home or a rustic artist’s retreat, we bring luxury hospitality and local oversight to each stay.
2. What kind of homes perform best in Topanga’s luxury vacation rental market?
Luxury vacation rentals in Topanga Canyon thrive when they combine modern comforts with natural surroundings. Homes with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, privacy, and inspiring views tend to attract high nightly rates. Creative design, wellness amenities, and outdoor living spaces appeal to the exact audience looking for a tranquil escape just outside Los Angeles.
3. Is short term rental management legal in Topanga Canyon?
Topanga is part of unincorporated Los Angeles County, so short term rental regulations vary by zoning. If your home qualifies, you’ll need to apply for a Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate (TORC) with LA County. Open Air Homes helps homeowners understand permit eligibility and offers fully compliant monthly rental management if a short-term permit isn’t an option.
4. How much can I earn by renting my Topanga Canyon home?
Topanga’s homes are often one-of-a-kind, which means rates and performance vary widely. We’ll analyze your home’s amenities, views, layout, and guest appeal to provide a custom earnings projection. Seasonal pricing and strategic minimum stays help maximize revenue while protecting the land and lifestyle of this nature-focused community.
5. Who manages guest issues or emergencies in Topanga Canyon?
We handle late-night guest messaging, lockouts, and onsite vendor coordination so you don’t have to. Our local team is familiar with Topanga’s winding roads, cell service gaps, and utility nuances, which allows us to deliver consistent service in even the most remote homes.

7. What if I prefer long-term or monthly stays in Topanga instead of short-term rentals?
We manage furnished monthly rentals that appeal to creative professionals, digital nomads, and guests looking for longer, peaceful getaways. These rentals don’t require short-term rental permits and are managed using CAR-compliant leases through our licensed brokerage, making them a great option for Topanga homeowners who want stability and flexibility.
8. How are nightly prices set for vacation homes in Topanga?
We use PriceLabs dynamic pricing software, which adjusts rates based on demand, local events, and seasonality.
