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.
Manhattan Beach sits almost entirely inside the California Coastal Commission zone, which means short term rental management Manhattan Beach homeowners can legally host stays under 30 nights—an edge most LA neighborhoods envy. Pair that regulatory green light with postcard-perfect beaches and you have a recipe for year-round guest demand.
Our goal in Los Angeles is to achieve ~75 % annual occupancy through well-priced, in-demand homes. We command premium nightly rates thanks to volleyball tournaments, surf culture, and a walkable downtown filled with boutiques and cafés. Add in the city’s 14 % Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), which we collect and remit on your behalf, and it’s clear why investors flock to this slice of the South Bay.
With Open Air Homes, Manhattan Beach property management is truly hands-off. We syndicate your listing across Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, and our own direct-booking site while PriceLabs fine-tunes rates daily for maximum ADR and occupancy.
Behind the scenes, late-into-the-night guest support, eco-friendly Turno cleanings with photo audits, and proactive vendor coordination safeguard your five-star reputation—so you collect bigger payouts without fielding 11 pm texts. 🌴

Discerning Manhattan Beach travelers expect bright, indoor–outdoor spaces that mirror the laid-back surf scene.

It depends on where your property is located. Within the coastal zone, short-term rentals are allowed with a permit. However, outside of the coastal zone, Manhattan Beach prohibits short-term rentals (under 30 days) in most residential areas. For the majority of homeowners, the most compliant and reliable approach is monthly rental management (30+ nights), which Open Air Homes handles using CAR-compliant leases.
We handle every detail: listing your home, professional photography, dynamic pricing through PriceLabs, CAR lease drafting, cleanings, maintenance coordination, and guest messaging. Our model is designed to maximize income while keeping your role completely hands-off.
Yes. Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159) and we also manage 12-month leases. For long-term leasing, we list your property on the MLS, screen applicants, and handle lease agreements and onboarding — all with legal compliance in mind.
We regularly host relocating families, corporate travelers, international professionals, and extended-stay visitors. These guests are often looking for furnished homes near the beach, walkability to restaurants, and proximity to LAX and tech hubs along the Westside.
Well-staged, furnished homes typically earn 20–30% more than unfurnished annual leases. Homes with ocean views, updated interiors, outdoor space, or walkability to The Strand and downtown are especially competitive in the monthly rental market.
Absolutely. Many Manhattan Beach homeowners only rent their property during summer, relocations, or long trips abroad. You can block dates for personal use anytime, and we’ll fill in the gaps with vetted monthly guests. Our service is ideal for those who live in the home seasonally and want to generate income while away.
Unlike most Airbnb managers, we combine hospitality-quality service with licensed real estate compliance. That means legal leases, vetted guests, responsive support, and a team that knows how to market to high-end travelers — all while you stay fully protected.
We use a combination of PriceLabs, Zillow comps, Airbnb trends, and 14+ years of booking data to set competitive rates. Our Broker of Record signs off on every lease, ensuring it’s priced legally and fairly for both homeowners and guests.
