Mar Vista Airbnb Management
Family Homes, Longer Stays, and a Calmer Westside
Mar Vista Airbnb management by Open Air Homes is built for the way this neighborhood actually rents: families, longer stays, and quiet streets. Many of our Mar Vista homes hold Home-Sharing permits, yet guests here often book for weeks or months at a time.
Mar Vista is calmer than Venice and a short drive from it. It is also central for the tech and aerospace corridor to the south around Hawthorne and El Segundo, and a wave of new restaurants has given Venice Boulevard a real dining scene.
As of September 2026, Open Air Homes manages 26 homes on the Westside and more than 100 homes overall.
Open Air Homes is the only Los Angeles based company in AirDNA’s 2026 ranking of the top 100 property managers in the US, ranked #25 nationally with a 4.91 average guest rating. See how the ranking works.

Mar Vista Airbnb Management Market Snapshot
Beach Energy Without the Beachfront Crowds
Bordered by Venice, Culver City, and the Silicon Beach offices, Mar Vista attracts midweek tech travelers and families who want a yard and a quiet night. Homes with a Home-Sharing permit can host stays under 30 nights, and homes without one run as monthly rentals.
Even our permitted homes see many longer bookings here. Guests come for a month of work, a school break, or a stretch between homes, and they stay because the neighborhood is easy.

List Your Mar Vista Home: FAQ
Is short-term rental hosting allowed in Mar Vista?
Yes, Mar Vista falls under the City of Los Angeles Home Sharing Ordinance, which allows short-term rentals only if the home is your primary residence. Homeowners must register for a Home Sharing Permit, and after six months of compliant operation, they can apply for an Extended Home Sharing Permit. For those who prefer to avoid the permitting process, we also offer fully legal monthly rental management.
What does monthly rental management look like in Mar Vista?
Monthly rental management involves leasing your furnished home for 30+ days to well-vetted guests, often professionals, digital nomads, or families in transition. Open Air Homes handles everything from photos and listings to leasing, cleanings, and guest support, all backed by our licensed brokerage for legal compliance.
Can you help me lease my home long-term instead of short-term or monthly?
Absolutely. Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159) offering both monthly and long-term leasing services. Our leasing division lists homes on the MLS, screens tenants, and uses California Association of Realtors (CAR) leases. Some Mar Vista homeowners choose a 12-month lease one year, then switch to monthly rentals the next, blocking dates for personal use.
What kinds of guests are booking monthly stays in Mar Vista?
Mar Vista appeals to tech professionals, relocating families, and healthcare workers looking for a quiet, central Westside location. These guests prefer luxury vacation rental alternatives with outdoor space, modern furnishings, and proximity to Venice, Culver City, and Santa Monica, all just minutes away.
How much can I earn with Airbnb or monthly rentals in Mar Vista?
Furnished homes in Mar Vista typically earn 20 to 30% more than unfurnished annual leases. Homes with ADUs, updated kitchens, and outdoor patios perform especially well. Our model works particularly well for homeowners who want to occupy the home seasonally while generating rental income when away.
How do you screen guests for both monthly and short-term stays?
We rely on the built-in verification tools of platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, and for most homes, we turn off Instant Book so that guests must message us before confirming a stay. This gives us the opportunity to ask thoughtful vetting questions and assess whether a guest shows signs of respect and alignment with our standards. Because our homes are located in the neighborhoods where we live, work, and care deeply, we’re intentional about only hosting guests who will be considerate neighbors and treat the home responsibly.
How do you determine legal monthly pricing in Mar Vista?
We use PriceLabs, Zillow market data, and Airbnb performance insights to set competitive rates. As a licensed brokerage, our Broker of Record signs off on every monthly rental amount to ensure compliance with California real estate law. Homes east of Centinela, north of Venice Blvd, or near Penmar Park tend to see strong performance.
Why do Mar Vista homeowners choose Open Air Homes?
We have hosted on Airbnb since 2012 and hold a 4.89 rating. In 2026, AirDNA ranked Open Air Homes #25 among US property managers, the only Los Angeles based company in its national top 100. Mar Vista homeowners value that we can run a home as short-term, monthly, or a blend of both, and that our Westside team is close by.
