By The Numbers: 2025
How We Stack Up Against the Market
Our Greater PS portfolio of homes booked 41% of available nights versus the cohort’s 37%, as compiled by Airbnb. Amid an oversupplied desert market, we are trending above the market, yet still have room for improvement.
Dynamic pricing, pet-friendly policies, and a focus on longer stays draw more value from every calendar without cutting rates on prime weekends.
Our listings draw almost three times the impressions—153% higher— than comparable homes during May ’24 → Apr ’25, 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.
Airbnb shows our homes on page 1 of search results 55.7% of the time, weighted across 12 months from April 2024 – April 2025.
That means every other guest search in our price bands starts with an Open Air Homes listing—boosting inquiries and brand awareness for every owner in the portfolio.
Out of every 10,000 search impressions, we convert 18 bookings versus the market’s 11—a 60 % uplift on Airbnb.
This efficiency turns views into paid nights, raises annual revenue, and shields owners from slow seasons when every inquiry counts.
Guests stay 9.7 days with us; the market averages 4.8 days according to “similar listings” in Airbnb Insights. That’s 102% longer than the market average.
Longer stays cut turnover costs, boost review volume, and reduce neighborhood churn, creating a sustainable growth loop.
Why La Quinta Focuses on Monthly Rentals
STR Restrictions and Compliance Requirements
The City of La Quinta has made it increasingly difficult to operate nightly vacation rentals, with bans and caps across much of the city. However, monthly rentals (30+ days) remain fully legal and in high demand—especially in gated communities and golf course neighborhoods.
We focus solely on legal monthly Airbnb management in La Quinta, offering homeowners peace of mind while still earning solid seasonal income.
The Seasonality of La Quinta
Peak Demand in Winter and Spring
Like the rest of the Coachella Valley, La Quinta’s peak season runs from October to May. Guests visit for the sunshine, golf tournaments, and festivals—and they often stay for a month or longer.
During the summer, demand slows due to high temperatures. We adjust pricing, listing filters, and marketing to attract remote workers or families relocating, ensuring year-round bookings when possible.
Who Books Monthly Rentals in La Quinta
Golfers, Snowbirds, and Relocating Professionals
The majority of guests in La Quinta are looking for extended, lifestyle-driven stays—not weekend getaways. These are retirees escaping winter, remote professionals on sabbatical, or families moving to the desert temporarily.
We tailor your listing to fit these guests, from amenities and photography to messaging and lease setup.

💬 List Your Home FAQ
1. Are short-term rentals legal in La Quinta?
In many cases, no. While the city technically allows short-term rentals in certain zones, most properties are part of HOAs that restrict or prohibit them altogether. That’s why Open Air Homes focuses on monthly rentals (30+ nights), which are fully legal and do not require a city permit.
2. What services do you provide for monthly leasing in La Quinta?
We handle every step of the leasing process — from listing setup and photography to guest communication, pricing, cleaning coordination, and CAR lease drafting. Our goal is to make the experience completely hands-off for you while keeping your home compliant and well cared for.
3. Can I lease long-term instead of monthly?
Yes. Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159) offering both monthly and 12-month leasing options. We’ll list your home on the MLS, screen tenants, and handle all paperwork using CAR-compliant contracts to ensure full legal protection.
4. What types of guests typically book monthly in La Quinta?
La Quinta draws snowbirds, retired professionals, long-term vacationers, and families looking for sunshine and privacy. Guests often stay for 1 to 6 months, and many choose homes in gated communities or near golf courses, especially during winter and spring.
5. How much can I earn with monthly rental management in La Quinta?
Monthly rentals in La Quinta can earn 20–30% more than unfurnished long-term leases, especially when homes are furnished, photographed professionally, and seasonally priced. Homes with casitas, pools, or golf course views typically perform best.
6. Can I still use my La Quinta home part of the year?
Absolutely. Many of our clients rent their homes only during high season (October through April) and block dates for personal use the rest of the year. We’ll customize a rental strategy that fits your schedule while keeping the calendar filled with vetted monthly guests.
7. What sets your monthly rental service apart in the desert?
We offer a hybrid of hospitality and real estate expertise. Unlike most managers, we provide legally binding leases, licensed oversight, responsive guest support, and brokerage-backed protection throughout the entire leasing process.
8. How do you price homes for monthly stays in La Quinta?
We combine PriceLabs dynamic pricing, Zillow and Airbnb comps, and over 14 years of internal seasonal data. Every lease is reviewed and signed off by our Broker of Record to ensure full legal compliance and accurate market alignment.
