Trusted Vacation Rental Management in SoCal
Hosting Since 2012, With the Numbers to Show for It

By The Numbers: 2025 In Review
How We Stack Up Against the Market
Updated every January. We publish the full prior year for our portfolio against the market, month by month, including the weak months. The 2025 figures below will be replaced with 2026 results in January 2027.
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 Greater Palm Springs portfolio booked 44.2% of available nights in 2025, compared to 40% across the broader market and significantly above similar listings within Airbnb. In an oversupplied desert market, this performance reflects disciplined pricing, seasonal strategy, and careful calendar control.
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.
The Open Air Homes Difference
Results We Publish, Not Promises We Make
We do not guarantee rent, and we do not quote a number we cannot back up. What we do is show you what our homes actually earned against comparable listings, then give you a realistic range for yours.
- Occupancy, visibility, and conversion published every January against the Airbnb market
- A realistic earnings range before you sign, not a sales projection
- Listings on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, plus our direct site, plus Zillow and Redfin for monthly homes
If the numbers do not work for your home, we will tell you.
Avoiding the Risks of Inexperienced Management
Protect Your Investment
Inexperienced management shows up in predictable places: weak guest screening, platform contracts used for monthly stays, pricing that chases the neighbors, and emergency repairs that were never inspected for.
- Every guest screened before confirmation, with Instant Book off for most homes
- CAR leases from a licensed brokerage (DRE #02164159) for every stay of 30 nights or more
- Safely insurance or Airbnb AirCover on short stays, paid for by the guest
- Preventive maintenance and photo-audited cleanings through Turno
These are the systems that protect the asset, not the marketing.
