Pacific Palisades Airbnb Management That Delivers Results
Luxury Monthly Rental Management on the Bluffs of West LA
Pacific Palisades Airbnb management by Open Air Homes is built for families and larger homes rented for 30 nights or more. Few homes here qualify for a short-term permit, and the guests who come to the Palisades are not weekend travelers anyway.
The Palisades is rebuilding after the January 2025 fire, and we say so plainly. Families waiting on a rebuild, homeowners between houses, and the people doing the work all need furnished homes for months at a time. If there is construction near a home, guests know before they book.
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.

Why Pacific Palisades Attracts Monthly Guests
High-Income Travelers Seeking Calm, Coastal Living
Between Malibu and Santa Monica, the Palisades offers larger homes, the Village, and quiet streets, which is why families choose it for extended stays.
Our guests are relocating executives, families between homes or rebuilding, and people who need a few calm months near the coast. Homes here perform best as furnished monthly rentals with a 30 night minimum.

Legal, Compliant, and Designed for 30+ Day Rentals
Monthly Stays Need No Permit, and You Stay Protected
Most homes in the Palisades do not qualify for a City of Los Angeles Home-Sharing permit, which requires the home to be your primary residence. Monthly stays of 30 nights or more need no permit.
Every booking uses a California Association of Realtors (CAR) lease, so guests understand their obligations and you are protected under housing law.
Applying for a permit? Read our step by step Los Angeles Home-Sharing permit application guide. It covers eligibility, the documents the City accepts, and the seven errors that cause denials.
Omni-Channel Exposure for Every Home
Airbnb, VRBO, Google Travel, and More
We list your home on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, plus our direct site.
Even for monthly stays, visibility matters. We optimize listings for Airbnb’s extended stay filters and VRBO’s monthly search, and we list on Zillow and Redfin for relocating tenants.

List Your Pacific Palisades Home: FAQ
Are short-term rentals legal in Pacific Palisades?
In most residential areas, no. Pacific Palisades falls under Los Angeles’ Home Sharing Ordinance, which only allows short-term rentals if the home is your primary residence and registered with a Home Sharing Permit. For second homes or investment properties, Open Air Homes focuses on fully legal monthly rentals (30+ nights) using CAR-compliant leases.
What does your monthly rental management service include?
We handle the entire process, from listing creation, pricing, and guest screening, to CAR lease drafting, cleaning coordination, vendor oversight, and ongoing guest support. It’s a white-glove solution designed for Palisades homeowners who want professional oversight without the day-to-day involvement.
Can I rent the home for 12 months instead of month-to-month?
Yes. Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159) offering both monthly and long-term leasing. If you prefer one qualified tenant per year, we can list the property on the MLS, screen renters, and execute a fully compliant 12-month lease on your behalf.
What types of guests book monthly stays in the Palisades?
We host relocating executives, families in transition, international visitors, and those in LA for medical, production, or academic reasons. These guests are often looking for furnished homes with privacy, home offices, or walkability to the Village, Temescal Canyon, or the beach.
How much can I expect to earn renting monthly in Pacific Palisades?
Furnished homes in the Palisades often earn 20 to 30% more than unfurnished long-term leases, especially if the property has views, modern upgrades, or a pool. We optimize pricing based on seasonal demand and comparable performance across LA’s luxury markets.
I only want to rent during certain months. Is that possible?
Absolutely. Many of our clients live in the Palisades part of the year and rent during summer, holiday seasons, or while traveling abroad. You’re always in control of your calendar, we’ll fill in the rest with vetted guests seeking 30+ night stays.
What makes your service different from other managers?
Unlike vacation rental companies, we bring licensed real estate compliance, hospitality level service, and long experience with larger homes in coastal Los Angeles, hosting since 2012. In 2026, AirDNA ranked Open Air Homes #25 among US property managers, the only Los Angeles based company in its national top 100. From lease creation to cleaning oversight, one accountable team handles it.
How do you determine monthly rental pricing in the Palisades?
We use a combination of PriceLabs, Zillow and Airbnb comps, and booking data going back to 2012. Every lease is reviewed and approved by our Broker of Record to ensure it’s aligned with market rates and legally sound.
