<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Does it Cost to Start An Airbnb Business?&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://hospitable.com/airbnb-expenses/">cost of a vacation rental business</a> will vary depending on the location, the size of the property, and more. Think of everything you will need to put into owning a home when budgeting. Utilities, repairs, maintenance, and other fees need to be considered when starting a vacation rental business.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Hosts can pay $4,500 or more just to outfit their property. This is on top of your mortgage and future costs and fees. This is why it’s important to budget and know the costs of your Airbnb business before purchasing a property.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Are the Main Airbnb Business Expenses?&nbsp;</h3>



<p>Airbnb expenses can add up over time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Successful property owners and managers diligently track each of their expenses. The following are Airbnb business expenses every host needs to be aware of.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Vacation Rental Start-Up Costs&nbsp;</h4>



<p>The key to a lucrative vacation rental business is to understand your start-up costs. These costs will inform you of whether or not running an Airbnb business will be profitable for you in the long run.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Airbnb start-up costs</strong>:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<ul>
<li>Mortgage&nbsp;</li>



<li>Business loan, if applicable</li>



<li>Insurance, permits, and bonds</li>



<li>Security devices, if applicable</li>



<li>Repairs or remodeling, if applicable&nbsp;</li>



<li>Marketing and advertising efforts&nbsp;</li>



<li>Cleaning and other services</li>



<li>Furniture and decor&nbsp;</li>



<li>Pricing or property management tools&nbsp;</li>



<li>WiFi and Internet access&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<div class="wp-block-group mid-post-cta__container is-layout-constrained"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container">
<div class="wp-block-group mid-post-cta__inner is-layout-constrained"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container">

</div>

</div></div>
</div></div>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Airbnb Service Fee&nbsp;</h4>



<p>Another cost associated with a vacation rental business is a service fee that will be paid out to Online Travel Agencies (OTA’s). <a href="https://www.lodgify.com/blog/airbnb-vs-lodgify/" class="broken_link">Airbnb service fee</a> is the most popular. They charge hosts 3% of each check-out for their split-fee option or 14% or more for their host-only option. Other OTA’s like Vrbo and Booking.com also take out service fees. This is a cost that hosts cannot get around.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Property Manager Commission&nbsp;</h4>



<p>Most hosts choose to take on a property manager regardless of if they own a single property or multiple.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A property manager is an efficient way to streamline your vacation rental business. They take care of the day-to-day management of your property. However, it is standard to give your property manager a cut of each paid listing. The good thing is that you and your property manager can agree to a commission fee when onboarding.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Recurring Airbnb Expenses&nbsp;</h4>



<p>In addition to start-up costs, you will have recurring expenses to keep track of. Start-up costs like cleaning services, maintenance, and marketing will also be recurring. This is because they are necessities to keeping your vacation rental business running smoothly.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Additional recurring Airbnb business expenses</strong>:&nbsp;</p>



<ul>
<li>Annual business license&nbsp;</li>



<li>Annual rental inspection&nbsp;</li>



<li>Homeowner’s Association (HOA), if applicable</li>



<li>Maintenance and repairs&nbsp;</li>



<li>Property and sales tax to both state and federal</li>



<li>Utilities&nbsp;</li>



<li>Restocking consumables&nbsp;</li>



<li>Staff wages</li>



<li>Property Staging</li>
</ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Amenities to Scale Your Property</h4>



<p>Think down the line when investing in your Airbnb property. To have a competitive edge, you are going to need to spend a little extra on amenities. Fortunately, not all Airbnb amenities are going to cost you a fortune.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Common Airbnb amenities to consider providing guests</strong>:&nbsp;</p>



<ul>
<li>Streaming services&nbsp;</li>



<li>Updated appliances throughout the property&nbsp;</li>



<li>Extra stock of necessities&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is It Important to Track Airbnb Expenses and Income?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/track-airbnb-expenses-1024x683.jpg" alt="Woman writing on a sheet of paper and pushing buttons on a calculator" class="wp-image-8165" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/track-airbnb-expenses-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/track-airbnb-expenses-300x200.jpg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/track-airbnb-expenses-768x512.jpg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/track-airbnb-expenses-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/track-airbnb-expenses-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/track-airbnb-expenses-18x12.jpg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>As an Airbnb host, it’s important to track your expenses and income. Keeping a detailed record of this information is essential to keep your business running smoothly.</p>



<p>Any small expense related to your Airbnb property is worth including in your financial records to maximize tax savings. You or your accountant can use this information to ensure your taxes are filed correctly and even help you get more money in your return.</p>



<p>New hosts can tend to get swept up in the grand scheme of things and neglect key aspects of running a successful Airbnb business. Bookkeeping and accounting, taxes, paying contractors, and keeping receipts are a few examples of what hosts often forget the importance of. These are factors that tell you whether or not your vacation rental business is profitable.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you are unaware that you are spending more than earning, then you’ll run into trouble quickly. Diligently tracking your Airbnb expenses and income will prevent any significant losses.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Tips for Recording Airbnb Expenses and Income</h2>



<p>It’s common for a vacation rental owner to struggle with Airbnb bookkeeping, but there are ways to alleviate some of the stress.</p>



<p>Whether you’ve just started your Airbnb business or are an experienced host looking for better ways to manage multiple rental properties, we’ve provided 5 tips to help you efficiently track your Airbnb expenses and income.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Open a Bank Account for Your Business</h3>



<p>Having two or more bank accounts may sound like extra work, but it’s actually the opposite. By opening a separate bank account for your Airbnb business, you will know exactly which vacation rental expenses go along with your business.</p>



<p>Keeping both personal and Airbnb income and expenses in one place may save you a few bucks every month. However, it will make tracking much more complicated when tax season comes around. Having an extra bank account for your Airbnb business may also allow you to redeem a portion of the monthly bank fee as a tax deduction.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Choose the Right Credit Card Processor</h3>



<p>To better keep track of your Airbnb payments from direct booking sites and upsell services, choose a reputable card processor like <a href="https://stripe.com/?utm_campaign=paid_brand-US_Search_Brand_Stripe-1803852691&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_source=google&amp;ad_content=448938759828&amp;utm_term=kwd-94834400&amp;utm_matchtype=e&amp;utm_adposition=&amp;utm_device=c&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiApfeQBhAUEiwA7K_UHy88yUGWu_3VG6rXlHmJBIcgeo0hc6YDj9v4PT5KizKm9obGf9lDdRoC8wEQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stripe</a>.</p>



<p>Not only will this ensure that guests can simply and quickly send you payment, but you will also be able to manage revenue and receipts while preventing potential issues like losing records and payment errors.</p>



<p>By centralizing income transactions in a secure, scalable, and reliable credit card processor, you will find collecting income data to be much easier and faster.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Hire an Accountant</h3>



<p>Hiring a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) can give you helpful advice on what vacation rental hosts should keep track of.</p>



<p>Because accountants are knowledgeable about local tax laws, they can help you find tax-deductible Airbnb expenses that many vacation rental hosts overlook. These include office equipment, property taxes, HVAC improvements, and more.</p>



<p>According to short-term rental expert <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6o-rftLA-Q" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Fertig</a>, by meeting with your CPA, “you’re going to be really surprised by how much you can write-off legally against your business.”</p>



<p>Working with an accountant and getting professional assistance will give you peace of mind knowing that your taxes are being filed properly and on time.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Save Your Receipts</h3>



<p>To lower your taxable Airbnb income, it is crucial that you save receipts.</p>



<p>Receipts will prove that your vacation rental expenses were for your business and not for personal use. Providing receipts is a form of validating your deductions to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Reduced tax liability can significantly influence the amount of profit your Airbnb business actually generates.</p>



<p>In the next section, find a list of tax-deductible Airbnb expenses to write off so you know which receipts are necessary to save.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/taxes-1024x683.jpg" alt="Tax paperwork in a pile with gold coins, receipts, and wooden letters spelling &quot;tax&quot;" class="wp-image-8168" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/taxes-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/taxes-300x200.jpg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/taxes-768x512.jpg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/taxes-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/taxes-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/taxes-18x12.jpg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Automate Your Airbnb Expenses and Income</h3>



<p>Keeping up with receipts and bank statements manually is now becoming a thing of the past for busy Airbnb hosts.</p>



<p>Suppose you have vacation rental properties on different booking sites such as Vrbo, Booking.com, and Airbnb. In order to view your specific payments and expenses for each property, you’d have to log into each different site. Additionally, it can be extremely difficult to keep all of your receipts and invoices organized, especially if you have multiple properties.</p>



<p>To keep efficient records, stay organized, and save time, consider automating your Airbnb expenses and income. Keep reading to learn our top three Airbnb expense tracking apps to use to streamline your business.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does Your Vacation Rental Home Need Professional Carpet Cleaning?&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Absolutely! Getting your vacation rental home’s carpet cleaned professionally is definitely worth it. Spotless and refreshed carpets feel luxurious on bare feet and allow guests to feel ultra comfortable. Dirty carpets can put off any guest, even causing them to wonder about the sanitary conditions of the rest of the place.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you clean your own rental property, you know the process is tedious. Depending on the size of your home, deep cleaning the carpet yourself could take a few hours to complete — that is, if you don’t neglect it altogether. You could use that time to focus on other aspects of your vacation rental business.</p>



<p>Professional carpet cleaning is the answer to having an immaculate home and attracting more guests without losing hours of your time. Hiring a team of professional carpet cleaners has a great return on investment. Guests satisfied with the cleanliness of your property are more likely to leave you 5-star reviews, helping draw in even more business for you.</p>



<p>Keep reading to discover the top five reasons why professional carpet cleaning can benefit not only your guests but your vacation rental business as a whole.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Benefits of Vacation Rental Carpet Cleaning</h2>



<p>Having clean and hygienic carpets is vital for your short-term rental business. Professionals specialized in carpet cleaning can keep your floors in tip-top shape, leading to the myriad of benefits discussed below.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cleaning-living-room-1024x682.jpg" alt="Female janitor with vacuum cleaner in room" class="wp-image-8230" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cleaning-living-room-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cleaning-living-room-300x200.jpg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cleaning-living-room-768x512.jpg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cleaning-living-room-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cleaning-living-room-18x12.jpg 18w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cleaning-living-room.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Helps Create a Healthier Environment</h3>



<p>According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), carpets easily accumulate several sources of indoor air pollutants, including cockroach allergens, pet dander, and everyday dirt and dust.&nbsp;</p>



<p>These toxic particles can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other health issues. Guests who already have breathing problems, such as those with allergies or asthma, can greatly benefit from professional carpet cleaning.&nbsp;</p>



<p>To eliminate germs and contaminants, professional carpet cleaners are equipped with high-powered vacuums and specialized shampoos to kill all bacteria and thoroughly remove trapped pollutants.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Immaculate and spotless carpets can promote improved hygiene on your property — ensuring your guests’ health, safety, and comfort.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Extends the Life of Your Carpet</h3>



<p>Even if you ask your guests to not wear shoes in your rental home to protect your carpet, you have no control over whether or not they will comply. And although you or your cleaner can vacuum your carpet after check-out, overworking your carpet is possible.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Too much vacuuming can pull and damage fibers, resulting in poor maintenance. Though you can replace your carpet with a new one, professional monthly carpet cleaning can help remove buildup and stains before they get ground into your floors and become permanent — promoting preventative maintenance. </p>



<p>Hiring professional carpet cleaners allows for the restoration of your carpets, enabling you to replace them later rather than sooner.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/extraction-vacuum-1024x683.jpg" alt="carpet vacuum cleaner" class="wp-image-8990" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/extraction-vacuum-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/extraction-vacuum-300x200.jpg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/extraction-vacuum-768x512.jpg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/extraction-vacuum-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/extraction-vacuum-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/extraction-vacuum-18x12.jpg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Removes Mustiness and Controls Odor&nbsp;</h3>



<p>A lack of proper carpet maintenance and thorough cleaning can cause a foul odor in your rental home because mold and bacteria can breed within the base of your carpet&#8217;s fibers. Avoid having undesirable smells on your property by hiring carpet cleaners who can properly remove all dirt, grime, and stains from your carpets.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Vacuuming alone is not powerful enough to get rid of musty particles. <a href="https://branchbasics.com/blogs/cleaning/hepa-vacuum-indoor-air-pollutions-worst-enemy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Branch Basics</a> shares that “most vacuum cleaners exhaust the very dust that was just collected back into the air, making the area more contaminated than before.” The more contaminants are trapped in the air, the more likely that odors will develop.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A positive first impression is crucial for getting a favorable review. A slight odor can turn off any guest, so make sure your property smells good (or at least neutral) when travelers arrive at your rental home.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Improves the Appearance of Your Rooms&nbsp;</h3>



<p>A clean carpet is the foundation of a cozy and comfortable-looking space. Because professional cleaners can remove small stains and help freshen up your carpet’s fibers, your floors continue to look new, promoting an improved overall appearance of your rental home.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Best yet, providing guests with a clean and aesthetically pleasing environment can lead them to rave about your property in their online reviews and to other potential customers.&nbsp;</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Saves Time&nbsp;</h3>



<p>The more time you spend vacuuming your home’s carpets yourself, the more time you’re unable to spend on other aspects of building your vacation rental business. Not to mention, you’ll have to move heavy furniture to get rid of dust bunnies and hidden dirt.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Even if you have a cleaning service do the job for you, that takes away from their more important tasks — especially if they’re limited on time before the next check-in.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Spare your time and get consistent professional carpet cleanings. Professionals are trained to lift and move furniture so every inch of your carpet gets cleaned well. By bringing in a specialized carpet cleaning service on a regular schedule, you and your turnover cleaners can remain focused and help scale your vacation rental business.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Frequently Asked Questions About Vacation Rental Carpet Cleaning</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What does a professional carpet cleaner do?</h3>



<p>Professional carpet cleaners provide stain, dirt, odor, and allergen removal for your carpet. Their methods include vacuuming, dry cleaning, carpet shampooing, and hot water extraction.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Most carpet cleaning companies also provide long-term protection after servicing your rental’s carpet, so feel free to ask them for a protectant add-on service that can help repel dirt, grime, and abrasion. According to <a href="https://indycarpetcleaning.com/the-benefits-of-carpet-protection/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indy Carpet Cleaning</a>, carpet protection can be reapplied after 18 to 24 months.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How much does it cost to clean 500 square feet of carpet?</h3>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.fixr.com/costs/carpet-cleaning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fixr</a>, professional carpet cleaning can cost between $0.18 and $0.36 per square foot. This means that cleaning 1,000 square feet of carpet would cost around $180 to $360.</p>



<p>Keep in mind that some carpet cleaning companies charge per room. <a href="https://ohsospotless.com/how-much-does-carpet-cleaning-cost/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oh So Spotless</a> shares that, “a room is between $40 and $70. Depending on the size of the home, most people pay between $120 and $240, so on average, $180.”&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How do I find and hire a professional carpet cleaner?&nbsp;</h3>



<p>You can find and hire a professional carpet cleaner by searching “professional carpet cleaners near me.” It is highly recommended to do your research first and ask the right questions before you hire any carpet cleaning company. Questions to ask include:&nbsp;</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>How much do they charge?</strong> Asking them about pricing will help you to compare prices as you interview other companies.&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>What kind of service do they provide?</strong> This is to know if they have any additional services such as carpet protectants or carpet repairs you may need.&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Are they licensed, bonded, and insured?</strong> This is to confirm that they have the right professionalism and credibility.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Start Airbnb Without Owning a House: Is it Possible?&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Starting an Airbnb business without owning a house is, indeed, possible.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you are among the thousands of people worldwide trying to join the vacation rental industry but don’t have the means to own a house right now, great news! There are numerous other ways to earn profitable income on Airbnb without being a homeowner.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to leading vacation rental software <a href="https://www.igms.com/how-to-make-money-on-airbnb-without-owning-property/">iGMS</a>, “Airbnb business owners can make close to $100,000 per year, if not more, without owning any properties.”</p>



<p>Below, learn about ways to make money through Airbnb without owning a home — or without owning any property at all.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 House Alternatives to Start an Airbnb Business: How to Start</h2>



<p>The vacation rental industry is quickly evolving as more and more guests seek unique vacation experiences away from crowded areas.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Many guests are searching for a greater connection with nature and gravitating towards new adventures as a way to fulfill this preference. With this in mind, non-traditional Airbnb stays such as yurts, treehouses, tents, RV camping, and cabins are becoming more trendy.&nbsp;</p>



<p>To start these five house-alternative businesses, research the safety regulations, zoning restrictions, and required permits for your state. Then, work with your local government to complete all necessary paperwork and get the ball rolling.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Yurts&nbsp;</h3>



<p><strong>Cost:</strong> $4,000 to $30,000&nbsp;</p>



<p>A yurt is a portable, round insulated tent made of wood and covered with felt. Originally used by Mongolians for thousands of years, yurts are easy to build and can accommodate a full family.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.fieldmag.com/articles/what-is-a-yurt-guide">Field Mag</a>, “A yurt can take anywhere between half an hour to three hours to set up. This depends on the size of the yurt and the number of people helping. Most modern portable yurts can be erected or broken down in around an hour.”&nbsp;</p>



<p>Yurts are becoming increasingly popular, especially in <a href="https://www.yurts.com/6-must-see-yurts-near-national-and-state-parks/">national parks</a> close to meadows, rivers, and hills.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="341" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Yurt-first-house-alternative-1.jpeg" alt="Yurt-first house alternative" class="wp-image-8201" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Yurt-first-house-alternative-1.jpeg 512w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Yurt-first-house-alternative-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Yurt-first-house-alternative-1-18x12.jpeg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Treehouses</h3>



<p><strong>Cost:</strong> $8,000 to $35,000&nbsp;</p>



<p>Gone are the days when treehouses were no more than a hideout for neighborhood kids. Today, Airbnb hosts and co-hosts are bringing a childlike wonder to the vacation rental industry through elaborate, fully furnished treehouses.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Provide guests with a <a href="https://food52.com/blog/24350-best-airbnb-treehouses">one-of-a-kind vacation</a> with sustainable, mostly-wood treehouses. You’re sure to attract nature lovers looking to enjoy a cozy stay nestled in the trees.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Domes&nbsp;</h3>



<p><strong>Cost: </strong>$10,000 to $50,000</p>



<p>Domes are a curved type of structure. They are basically transparent pods, which means they are a perfect option if your chosen location is known for its entrancing sunrise, sunset, or starry night sky.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to the <a href="https://www.thefarleygroup.com/blogs/raising-the-roof-how-quickly-can-a-dome-be-built.htm">Farley Group</a>, building “a large dome could take as long as five weeks.” If you donʻt have the ability to build a dome yourself, good news. When considering starting a dome Airbnb rental business, you can make things simple for yourself and buy a premade option.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. RV Camping&nbsp;</h3>



<p><strong>Cost: </strong>$10,000 to $300,000</p>



<p>In the past few years, we have seen an increase of RV owners turning to peer-to-peer rental markets to put their adventure-prone vehicles to work.&nbsp;</p>



<p>RV camping can be a lucrative business because there are countless travelers looking for creative ways to have a unique traveling experience. According to <a href="https://mobilerving.com/blog/the-rving-trend-why-it-is-so-popular-now">MobileRVing</a>, RV camping gives travelers the opportunity to stay at different resorts, allowing them to plan numerous activities — bringing strangers together.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is possible because you can equip your RV with the essentials and amenities needed for living in. Depending on the size RV you plan to have, it could provide more space and protection than a traditional tent.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="341" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/People-talking-and-singing-outside-an-RV.jpeg" alt="People talking and singing outside an RV" class="wp-image-8202" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/People-talking-and-singing-outside-an-RV.jpeg 512w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/People-talking-and-singing-outside-an-RV-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/People-talking-and-singing-outside-an-RV-18x12.jpeg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Cabins&nbsp;</h3>



<p><strong>Cost: </strong>$25,000 to $100,000</p>



<p>If RVing is becoming popular among travelers wanting to move from city to city, there is also a significant increase in demand for cabins. Ironically, there are tens of thousands of travelers all over the world wanting to get away from the city for a quiet and peaceful escape.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ideally, your cabin would be situated in the mountains, in a forest, or near a body of water, as these are features highly desired by cabin renters.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Make Money With Airbnb Without Owning Property&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Just like you can start an Airbnb business without a house, you can also make money with Airbnb without owning any property at all. Below, learn three ways to do just that.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Start a Rental Arbitrage&nbsp;</h3>



<p>Rental arbitrage allows you to bring in cash flow without the challenges of homeownership.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For instance, you can rent an apartment for $1,800 per month. If you sublet the apartment on Airbnb for $140 a day, you could pay off your rent in just under two weeks. The money you earn during the rest of the month is pure gain.</p>



<p>Keep in mind, you must consider legal rules and regulations, as some cities do not allow rental arbitrage. Equally important, you should obtain permission from your landlord before you start this venture.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Become a Short-Term Rental Property Manager</h3>



<p>Becoming a short-term rental property manager is one of the most common ways to generate money on Airbnb.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Services of a short-term rental manager include advertising, inspecting the property, communicating with guests, confirming bookings, cleaning or <a href="http://turno.com">hiring professional cleaners</a>, and addressing guests’ needs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Be sure to research state <a href="https://www.igms.com/vacation-rental-rules-and-regulations/">legal requirements</a> as some states require you to obtain a real estate broker license and/or a property manager’s license. Other than that, becoming a short-term rental manager allows you to work flexible hours without having to own your own property.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Become a Co-Host to an Airbnb Host&nbsp;</h3>



<p>Co-hosts have similar responsibilities as short-term rental property managers. The biggest difference between the two is that Airbnb property management companies may have to operate under specific real estate regulations.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Additionally, a co-host tends to be someone the primary host knows personally, such as a relative, friend, or even a close neighbor — essentially, someone who is trusted enough to handle the listing and the guests.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="342" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Airbnb-host-and-co-host-working-together.png" alt="Airbnb host and co host working together" class="wp-image-8203" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Airbnb-host-and-co-host-working-together.png 512w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Airbnb-host-and-co-host-working-together-300x200.png 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Airbnb-host-and-co-host-working-together-18x12.png 18w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Build a Non-Traditional But Profitable Airbnb Business Now</h2>



<p>Listing your own house to run an Airbnb business is rewarding but stressful. By building a non-traditional Airbnb business through unique rentals like yurts, treehouses, domes, RVs, and cabins, you will attract bookings from guests who are looking to experience one-of-a-kind vacations.</p>



<p>You can also work to generate substantial profit — without investing in large capital — through rental arbitrage, short-term rental property management, or co-hosting.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is Corporate Housing?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-11">
<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<p>Corporate housing consists of fully furnished rentals designed for long-term stays. It is typically used by business travelers for corporate trips, interim housing during relocations, emergencies, and even vacations.</p>



<p>Corporate housing often provides all-inclusive accommodations, including fitness centers, pools, laundry rooms, and business centers with fax machines, fast Wi-Fi, printers, and more. For this reason, the monthly cost for corporate housing tends to be slightly higher than the average rate for a vacation rental.</p>



<p>In this article, we discuss the similarities and differences between corporate housing and vacation rentals, as well as tips for finding high-quality and reliable cleaning services.</p>
</div>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Corporate Housing vs Vacation Rentals</h2>



<p>There are several ways in which corporate housing and vacation rentals are different and similar. We compare and contrast the two below.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Type of Clients</h3>



<div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-14">
<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<p>Corporate housing caters to those who are traveling for business or <a href="https://prosenterprises.com/our-clients/relocation-travel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">newly relocated professionals</a> in need of a lodging space for longer than a month. These business travelers may also bring partners or children along with them.</p>



<p>On the other hand, vacation rental clients are typically guests that are looking for more personal experiences, such as holiday visits or simply relaxing away from home.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Length of Occupancy</h3>



<p>According to <a href="https://ipropertymanagement.com/research/airbnb-statistics#:~:text=Airbnb%20Industry%20Statistics&amp;text=The%20average%20nightly%20rent%20is,listings%20from%20over%20100%2C000%20cities." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">iProperty Management</a>, the average short-term rental stay is 4.3 nights, whereas corporate housing is designed for stays that are at least a month long.</p>
</div>



<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Body-Image-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="professional cleaners" class="wp-image-10489" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Body-Image-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Body-Image-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Body-Image-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Body-Image-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Body-Image-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Body-Image-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
</div>
</div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pricing</h3>



<p>Vacation rentals can cost as low as <a href="https://www.uplisting.io/blog/how-much-should-i-charge-for-my-airbnb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$47 per night</a>. On the other hand, corporate housing guests are expected to pay from $70 to $200 a night. According to <a href="https://www.taylormadefa.com/blog/2019/9/10/corporate-housing-101-why-will-someone-else-pay-for-my-housing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor Made</a>, companies will reimburse their employees for corporate housing expenses in many cases.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Location</h3>



<div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-17">
<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<p>Many vacation rental properties are conveniently located near the beach, in the mountains, or in other leisure areas, while corporate housing is typically located near city centers or in suburban locations.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Amenities</h3>



<p>Corporate housing is fully furnished to provide business travelers with everything they need for a comfortable long stay. This typically includes a full-size kitchen, laundry, and <a href="https://turno.com/airbnb-amenities/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bonus amenities</a>, such as fitness and business centers, a pool and spa, and premium cable.</p>



<p>On the other hand, short-term vacation rentals tend to provide more family-friendly amenities, such as game consoles, a fireplace, a grilling area, and more.</p>
</div>



<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">

</div>
</div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cleaning Requirement</h3>



<p>Corporate housing cleaning services may vary. Some corporate housing providers require cleaning daily, weekly, or once every 2 weeks. On the other hand, since vacation rental guests typically stay for a shorter amount of time, a cleaning service is usually only provided in between guests.</p>



<p>For both corporate housing and vacation rentals, cleanliness is a key ingredient to high-quality comfort and accommodation. Keep reading to find out more about corporate housing cleaning and how property managers can find professional cleaners.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is Corporate Housing Cleaning?</h2>



<p>Corporate housing cleaning is a top-to-bottom housekeeping service intended to achieve comprehensive cleaning and disinfecting.</p>



<p><strong>Professional corporate housing cleaning services include:</strong></p>



<ul>
<li>Disinfecting sinks, bathtubs, showers, and toilets</li>



<li>Dusting surfaces, furniture, windows, etc.</li>



<li>Laundering bedding and making beds</li>



<li>Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors</li>



<li>Emptying trash</li>



<li>Replacing inventory</li>
</ul>



<p>A corporate housing cleaning service is similar to <a href="https://turno.com/vacation-rental-cleaning/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">short-term rental cleaning</a>. Both are done efficiently but with full attention to detail.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Airbnb Help You Increase Passive Income?</h2>



<p>Investing in Airbnb properties can, in fact, increase your passive income. According to data from <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">Airbnb</a>, hosts and guest communities have earned and generated a total of more than $110 billion with vacation rental investments in the last couple of years.</p>



<p>Short-term rental services like Airbnb are becoming more popular each year among travelers. Rather than booking a standard hotel room, many travelers now are looking for more affordable places in which they can feel at home and be comfortable during their vacation.</p>



<p>Whether you are looking to <a href="https://turno.com/tips-for-starting-your-own-airbnb-as-an-owner/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">become an Airbnb host</a> or want to learn other ways you can make money with Airbnb in the new year, there are things you need to know first.</p>
</div>

<p>In this article, you will learn how easy it is to make money with Airbnb and what to consider when you are preparing to list your short-term rental property.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making Money With Airbnb Is Flexible and Convenient</h2>



<p>Regardless of whether you choose to rent out a spare room or an entire guest home, making money with Airbnb is simple. Plus, you can cater your vacation rental business to suit your lifestyle.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Part-Time Hosting</h3>



<p>Not all hosts are full-time hosts. If you have another job and just want to make money with Airbnb on the side, you can be a part-time or an occasional host. An occasional host is someone who rents out their place when they are not currently living there.</p>



<p>For example, one young entrepreneur built her <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/resources/hosting-homes/a/a-small-business-owner-tries-hosting-on-the-side-434" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">dream tiny home</a> nestled in the forests of South Carolina.</p>



<p>She wanted a spot where both herself and others could relax and recharge. By listing the property on Airbnb, she was able to earn back a large portion of what she spent during construction in a matter of months. Not to mention, she and her partner have a tranquil getaway to retreat to when she’s not hosting.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Full-Time Hosting</h3>



<p>Some hosts rent out their entire home every day to accommodate as many people as possible and get the most of this passive income.</p>



<p>Learn from Sean and Ashley, a couple who consistently rents out their beautiful and spacious <a href="https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/48297158?source_impression_id=p3_1640056099_Kl52ZamH9PybEPfl&amp;guests=1&amp;adults=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">5-bedroom cabin</a>. Their goal with this property is to provide guests with &#8220;plenty of room for the whole family to spread out and enjoy.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Airbnb Hosts Who Have Achieved Financial Independence</h2>



<p>Managing a vacation rental can be a profitable venture, no matter how many properties you plan to have. Learn from the following hosts who have achieved great financial success through vacation rental hosting.</p>

<p>Countless other hosts had little to no business experience before listing a vacation rental property. But just like Greg, Dashnay, Kristen, and Siya, they found effective ways to make money with Airbnb and achieve financial freedom.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Things to Consider When Trying to Make Money With Airbnb</h2>



<p>Airbnb hosting is a fairly hands-off way to increase your passive income. That said, there are a few things to consider first before diving into Airbnb entrepreneurship.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Listing With Airbnb</h3>



<p>When you’re setting a price for your available space, you need to consider the rate in your area by looking at other listings in the market.</p>



<p><strong>Take hosting expenses into account as well, including:</strong></p>



<ul><li>Emergency maintenance fees</li><li>Utility bills</li><li>Taxes</li><li>Cleaning fees</li><li>Inventories</li><li>Airbnb’s host cost</li></ul>



<p>Since guests pay around 6% to 12% for the booking fees, you have to consider that Airbnb’s host fee will take 3% from it.</p>



<div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-32">
<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Licensing and Taxes</h3>



<p>Prior to listing your home or extra room on Airbnb, make sure to check your property’s rules and regulations to ensure you’re allowed to host. If you’re renting the place, get your landlord’s permission.</p>



<p>Additionally, some districts require a business license and collect local taxes from the income you make. It is best to look up Airbnb’s general information about <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1376/responsible-hosting-in-the-united-states" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">local regulations</a>.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Personal Safety and Security</h3>



<p>Many hosts prioritize guests’ safety and security before theirs, but the host’s safety is equally important.</p>
</div>



<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="341" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/taxes.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-7782" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/taxes.jpg 512w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/taxes-300x200.jpg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/taxes-18x12.jpg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>
</div>
</div>



<p>So, when you decide to make money with Airbnb by listing your home for others to rent out, make sure that your personal valuable belongings are secured. Additionally, reviews of guests from their previous hosts can also serve as reassurance, and you’re free to turn down or drop a booking as you wish.</p>



<p>Keep in mind that, in some cases, Airbnb can give you penalties for canceling bookings, depending on the circumstances.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Airbnb’s Home Safety Guidelines</h3>



<p>Following <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/279/host-damage-protection" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Airbnb’s guidelines</a> is also required to make hosts’ homes safer for guests.</p>



<p>Preventing safety risks will minimize your chance of being sued by a guest who is harmed on your property. This will also help keep guests from giving you negative reviews that will lower your rating as a host. A lower rating means lower customer acquisition and retention, which may decrease your passive income.</p>



<p>Typical precautions for your home include installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and even <a href="https://turno.com/replacing-vacation-rental-mattresses/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">replacing your mattress</a> when needed.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Liability Insurance</h3>



<p>Make sure to talk to your landlord’s or homeowner’s insurance company to ensure your policy has coverage for your property, belongings, and liability while listing on Airbnb.</p>



<p>Additionally, Airbnb provides <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/937/host-liability-insurance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">liability insurance</a> for hosts in the U.S., which offers up to $1 million per property damage. Airbnb’s liability insurance may also serve as secondary insurance if your homeowner’s and landlord’s coverage isn&#8217;t sufficient.</p>



<p>Like any other insurance policy, Airbnb’s liability insurance has limitations and conditions. Carefully read their terms to ensure you have the coverage you want and need.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Make Money With Airbnb Without Owning Property</h2>



<p>If you are unsure about buying a property but are determined to make money with Airbnb in 2022, you&#8217;re in luck. You don’t have to own property to build an Airbnb business.</p>



<p>Below, find 3 easy ways to make money with Airbnb without buying property.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Manage Properties</h3>



<p>Learn from Mike Benjamin who has been successful at making money with Airbnb <a href="https://medium.com/swlh/how-i-make-money-on-airbnb-without-owning-or-renting-an-apartment-c647784bdaf5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">without owning or renting a property</a>.</p>



<p>He found a homeowner whose goal was simply to invest in the place they rented out. Mike’s job, on the other hand, is managing the property and the Airbnb profile.</p>



<p>&#8220;I organized a cleaning lady, [and] set up the Airbnb profile and the self-check-in systems. My main job is communicating via smartphone with the customer (home-owner), the cleaning lady, and all the guests. It takes about 15 min-2 hours per day (depending on how many bookings come in). This one job gets me up to 1500€ per month. This is not much, but given the working hours and that I work from wherever I want, it’s pretty good.&#8221; &#8211; Mike Benjamin, 2019</p>



<p>Like Mike, you can use your management skills to operate an Airbnb property owned by someone else. To increase your passive income in this way, you can even find more homeowners looking to invest in the future.</p>



<div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-35">
<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Become an Airbnb Cleaner</h3>



<p>The most demanding part of managing an Airbnb is cleaning. For this reason, many Airbnb hosts outsource this part of the job. If you&#8217;re looking for a side hustle but don&#8217;t want to manage a short-term rental property, you can become a cleaner for these venues.</p>



<p>One of the first steps in starting a cleaning business is to determine what types of services you will offer. For example, you may decide to <a href="https://taskbird.com/5-tips-starting-carpet-cleaning-business/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">start a carpet cleaning business</a>. The cost of carpet cleaning supplies usually equates to around 5% of the job. This means a <a href="https://www.smart-cleaning-solutions.com/pages/carpet-cleaning-business-packages" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">95% profit margin</a> and an impressive return on investment.</p>



<p>When starting an Airbnb cleaning business, know that the pay rate typically varies for each property. You still have freedom, however, in setting your own price per hour, per room, or per property.</p>
</div>



<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="512" height="341" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/cleaning-professional.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-7780" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/cleaning-professional.jpg 512w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/cleaning-professional-300x200.jpg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/cleaning-professional-18x12.jpg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>
</div>
</div>



<p>&#8220;As a very successful Airbnb host and entrepreneur, I can tell you probably the biggest challenge is finding a good cleaning team. If you can become a good cleaning team and start this business, you can make a ton of money. I have hundreds of properties, and I know for a fact that this is the business you want to start.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iknYhkMCvmA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How To Start An Airbnb Cleaning Business</a></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Airbnb Experiences</h3>



<p>Airbnb Experiences are activities designed by hosts around the world who want to showcase their creativity, interests, and skills. The best part is that Airbnb Experience hosts don’t need to list a short-term rental property on Airbnb to offer an experience.</p>



<p>There are numerous types of Airbnb Experiences you can host, such as cooking, baking, painting, and more. These experiences do require a time commitment, but they&#8217;re an excellent way to put some extra cash in your pocket.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reach Your Financial Goals This New Year With Airbnb</h2>



<p>When setting financial goals for the new year, you have countless opportunities to increase your passive income, particularly with Airbnb.</p>



<p>From hosting one room to an entire house, Airbnb can help you gain financial independence. Best yet, you don’t have to own a property or rent out your own space if you choose not to. If hosting isn&#8217;t your forte, you can become an Airbnb cleaner and still greatly increase your income.</p>



<p>If you&#8217;re a current or future Airbnb host or cleaner, there are also ways to simplify your business. Tools like <a href="https://turno.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Turno</a> will help you streamline, automate, and master the Airbnb game.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Long Does a Mattress Last in a Vacation Rental?</h2>



<p></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/how-long-should-a-mattress-last.png" alt="custom graphic with mattress and hourglass" class="wp-image-7655" width="323" height="182" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/how-long-should-a-mattress-last.png 512w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/how-long-should-a-mattress-last-300x169.png 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/how-long-should-a-mattress-last-18x10.png 18w" sizes="(max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px" /></figure></div>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/mattress-information/when-should-you-replace-your-mattress#:~:text=Under%20normal%20conditions%2C%20mattresses%20should,you%20should%20replace%20your%20mattress.">Sleep Foundation</a>, a mattress lasts around 6 to 8 years depending on its type and quality. Keep in mind that numerous factors influence the lifespan of your mattress, including:</p>



<ul><li>The materials it’s made out of</li><li>The quality of its development</li><li>The number and weight of those who have used the mattress</li><li>How well the mattress has been cleaned and taken care of </li></ul>



<p>A mattress that is in prime condition will generate great comfort for your guests. Comfort is the most important factor in affecting sleep quality — and without sleep, your guests may leave your Airbnb feeling that they didn’t enjoy their stay. </p>



<p>With that said, it is important to know when to <em>replace </em>your Airbnb mattresses to promote the utmost comfort and cleanliness for your guests.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Ways to Know It’s Time to Replace Your Airbnb Mattress</h2>



<p>You should consider replacing the mattress in your vacation rental when you:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Spot signs of wear and tear.</h3>



<p>If you start to notice signs of wear and tear, it’s an indication that it is time to replace your mattress. This includes small stains and broken springs.</p>



<p>Keep in mind that sweat marks are considered to be wear and tear, as they occur under the natural conditions of using the mattress. Furthermore, broken springs poking out of the mattress can&#8217;t be removed or replaced. Once you start to feel springs through your mattress, it is time to replace it.</p>



<p>Observe rips, holes, crumbling, or cracking in the mattress as well, as they are also obvious indications of wear and tear.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Start hearing squeaky or noisy springs.</h3>



<p>A sign of a sagging mattress includes squeaking noises and screeching metal sounds when the springs are worn out.</p>



<p>Springs are made to support the cushion and the coziness of the mattress without making noise. When you start hearing squeaky sounds coming from your mattress, that is a sign that the coils are starting to deteriorate. You should not ignore this, as your guests are no longer getting the support they need for restful vacation.</p>



<div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-38">
<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:50%">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Keep tossing and turning in your sleep.</h3>



<p>Another sign that you should replace your mattress is if guests toss and turn in their sleep to find a comfortable position. This is a common occurrence when the mattress has become asymmetrical and lumpy.</p>



<p>To find out if this is an issue, spend a night or two at your Airbnb and observe whether you’re quickly able to find a comfortable sleeping position.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Experience increased allergies.</h3>



<p>A study conducted by researchers at the <a href="https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/house-dust-mites-go-mattresses-droves-study">National University of Singapore</a> found that the highest concentrations of dust mites in homes are found in mattresses.</p>

<p>Mattresses absorb body moisture and accumulate dead skin over time, which attracts dust mites and triggers allergy symptoms. Even if you clean and vacuum your Airbnb mattress often, it is almost impossible to keep it dust-mite-free.</p>



<p>If you spend a night or two on your Airbnb mattress and notice allergy symptoms, it is an indication that it is time to replace the mattress.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Stiffness-from-low-quality-mattress.png" alt="Stiffness from low quality mattress" class="wp-image-9932" width="357" height="201" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Stiffness-from-low-quality-mattress.png 512w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Stiffness-from-low-quality-mattress-300x169.png 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Stiffness-from-low-quality-mattress-18x10.png 18w" sizes="(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px" /></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Wake up with body aching and stiffness. </h3>



<p>If you or other guests keep waking up with an unexplained neck, shoulder, or back ache, it is likely time to replace your Airbnb mattress. Keep in mind that sleeping on a high-quality mattress supports your overall health, especially the alignment of your spine.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Airbnb Mattresses: Clean vs Replace</h2>



<p>Now that you know when to replace your Airbnb mattress, it is also important to maintain the cleanliness of your mattress by deodorizing and vacuuming it after every guest. Not only is this a sanitary thing to do, but it is also helpful in prolonging the life of your mattress.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It is best to follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions and directions to protect the materials of your mattress and maintain the validity of the warranty. Additionally, check the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations to see if it’s advised to rotate and flip the mattress seasonally to aid its longevity.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What About Linens and Pillows?</h3>



<p>To optimize the comfort and quality of sleep for your guests, it is also important to provide <a href="https://turno.com/airbnb-cleaners-bedding-laundry-tips/">clean and well-taken care of linens</a> and pillows.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In addition to changing the sheets and pillowcases after every guest, pillows and linens should be replaced every 1 to 2 years, depending on the quality and type of materials, as well as the frequency of bookings at your property.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best Mattress for an Airbnb</h2>



<p>When considering changing your Airbnb mattress, make sure you replace it with a high-quality option. The best mattress is considered comfortable, affordable, and created to last a long time.</p>



<p>Here, we have listed a few of the best mattresses for your Airbnb at reasonable prices that you can choose from.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nectar Mattress&nbsp;</h3>



<p>According to Sleep Foundation, <a href="https://www.nectarsleep.com/mattress">Nectar</a> is the best mattress for an Airbnb. It’s made with materials that relieve pressure points and maintain a cool and dry surface, which helps the mattress last.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Price = $499 to $1,099</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DreamCloud</h3>



<p><a href="https://www.dreamcloudsleep.com/mattress">DreamCloud</a> is similar to Nectar mattresses in quality and rank but at a slightly higher price. It is known for its thicker comfort system and support layer, made out of high-quality materials. It’s also said to provide a cloud-like bounce motion with pressure relief.</p>



<p><strong>Price = $1,198 to $1,798</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GhostBed</h3>



<p>If your vacation rental property is located in a warm climate, you might want to consider a mattress that has a built-in temperature cooling control system. A <a href="https://www.ghostbed.com/collections/mattresses">GhostBed</a> mattress will help keep your guests cool throughout the night while providing relief for pressure points.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Price = $845 to $1,990</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Well-Rested Guests Are Happy Guests</h2>



<p>Even though buying a mattress is typically costly, losing guests because of an uncomfortable or unsanitary mattress comes at a higher price. By providing your guests with one of the best mattresses in the market, you will notice that well-rested guests are happy guests.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is an Airbnb Experience?&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Airbnb Experiences are activities offered by Airbnb hosts who have the desire to share their interests, skills, and hobbies in a creative way through interactive tours and classes.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Experiences include craft workshops, cooking classes, yoga sessions, virtual tours, scavenger hunts, and many other engaging and meaningful activities. Many guests use Airbnb Experiences as a way to meet new people, while others use it as a way to discover local attractions.</p>



<p>A host’s Airbnb Experience is not mandatory for guests wanting to stay at their vacation rental. It’s simply an optional add-on for travelers looking to elevate their vacation or trip. On the other hand, visitors don’t need to stay in an Airbnb property to partake in an Airbnb Experience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Hosting an Airbnb Experience Is Beneficial to Your Vacation Rental Business</h2>



<p>Hosting an Airbnb Experience at your vacation rental property during the holiday season is beneficial in several ways. First, it will allow you to curate a unique activity using your own knowledge, hobbies, skills, and culture.</p>



<p><strong>You’ll also be able to:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<ul>
<li>Make extra money</li>



<li>Share your expertise with the community&nbsp;</li>



<li>Help guests learn about cultures and communities</li>



<li>Connect with travelers and locals&nbsp;</li>



<li>Create lasting connections and treasured memories</li>
</ul>



<p>By tapping into the needs and wants of travelers through Airbnb Experience hosting, you’re creating meaningful and unforgettable connections all over the world, while earning supplemental income. These connections can also help you obtain loyal customers who will book their future stays with you.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Best Airbnb Online Experiences to Inspire Your Holiday Bookings</h2>

<p>Check out the five exciting Airbnb Online Experiences below, let your creativity flow, and get ready to add “Airbnb Experience host” to your resume. Wow your holiday travelers with a meaningful experience they’ll be talking about for years to come.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Relax Heal &amp; Meditate with Sound Bowls</h3>



<p>Wellness-inspired themes are becoming more prominent in life, work, and travel. There’s no doubt guests are increasingly exploring new ways to maintain mindfulness and balance in their daily lives.</p>

<p>Offering a wellness-related Airbnb Experience this holiday season can provide guests with a tranquil getaway from all the hustle and bustle. You will be sure to enhance the guest experience while lifting spirits.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Living Room Legends Scavenger Hunt Game</h3>



<p>If you want to offer a fun and exciting team-building activity in the comfort of your Airbnb property, let Alley Kat Adventures from Austin, Texas provide some inspiration. This event company offers a top-rated interactive virtual home scavenger hunt game.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The hosts creatively set up the <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/1671726?irgwc=1&amp;irclid=zReWj2wnKxyIW70XtnRFPVf2UkGxCxypQWaB3E0&amp;ircid=4273&amp;sharedid=&amp;af=126295512&amp;iratid=9627&amp;c=.pi73.pk4273_249354&amp;irparam1=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">Living Room Legends Scavenger Hunt</a> game with “tasks” that encourage team-building and bonding between families and friends. The tasks require players to scramble to find items and perform other fun challenges before time runs out.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A scavenger hunt or other interactive game is a great option to bring holiday cheer to your vacation rental. Be as creative as you can when compiling your list of tasks and challenges — guests love a good laugh when it comes to team-building exercises!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. World’s Top Coffee Masterclass</h3>



<p>If you’re a coffee connoisseur, get inspired by <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/1655017?irgwc=1&amp;irclid=zReWj2wnKxyIW70XtnRFPVf2UkGxH9QJQWaB3E0&amp;ircid=4273&amp;sharedid=&amp;af=126295512&amp;iratid=9627&amp;c=.pi73.pk4273_249354&amp;irparam1=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">World&#8217;s Top Coffee Masterclass led by Ricardo</a> from Venezuela.

<p>Hosting a coffee-themed Airbnb Experience is a great opportunity to demonstrate your barista techniques and knowledge. You can be creative in expressing your own brewing techniques, flavors, latte art, and more.</p>



<p>According to the <a href="https://deneenpottery.com/coffee-statistics-2018/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Coffee Association</a>, 64% of Americans drink coffee, and 79% of these people drink coffee at home. Inviting your guests to make the best homemade coffee at your Airbnb will enhance their holiday mornings during their stay. What’s more, your guests might just remember their stay at your Airbnb each time they drink their morning coffee.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bed linens and towels come in direct contact with guests’ skin, meaning it’s not likely that your renters will want to share sheets, pillowcases, and bath towels with a complete stranger. It goes without saying that these items should be changed during every turnover — but how often should blankets, duvets, and pillows be washed?</p>



<p>There are several things hosts need to know about cleaning Airbnb bedding, including how frequently to launder it, how to remove stains, and when to buy brand new bedding.</p>



<p>Sleep is a vital element of a guest’s experience and comfort. By knowing how and when to launder your Airbnb bedding, you’ll make your property an enjoyable retreat for travelers, notice a surge of 5-star reviews, and retain loyal customers.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Launder Airbnb Bedding</h2>



<p>If you’ve invested in high-quality linens, you’re going to want to know how to clean and maintain them. Below, check out the Airbnb bedding tips from cleaning experts, and get ready to provide a serene, luxurious experience for your guests.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cleaning Airbnb Bed Sheets</h3>



<p>As stated above, bed sheets should be washed after every guest. Airbnb professional cleaners recommend having one or two extra sets of clean sheets at your property to help ensure a quick turnover.</p>



<p>To make sure you always have clean sheets on hand, create a washing schedule that helps you track your clean bedding inventory.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What About Stain Removal?</h4>



<p>Follow the tips below for easier and more efficient stain removal on Airbnb bedding:</p>



<ul>
<li>Don’t wait to tackle the stain. The longer the stain sits, the tougher it will be to remove.</li>



<li>Apply hydrogen peroxide directly onto the stain and wait for about 30 minutes. If you don’t have hydrogen peroxide, hairspray or baking soda will work.</li>



<li>Another method that is effective in removing stains on your Airbnb bed sheets is soaking them with cold water, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1/2 spoon of liquid dishwashing detergent. Then, rinse the affected area. Pre-treat the spot with the same process if the stain is still visible.</li>



<li>Alternatively, use a spray bottle with 50% water and 50% white vinegar. Spray the affected area, then dab it with a clean cloth. Next, drizzle some baking soda over the patch and clean it with a clean cloth after an hour.</li>



<li>Avoid using bleach on Airbnb bedding, as it can deteriorate microfibers and destroy the high-quality adhesive materials of the sheets.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cleaning Airbnb Comforters, Blankets, and Duvet Covers</h3>



<p>Washing comforters and blankets as often as possible is a good practice, but it can be time-consuming when turning over a unit with limited time.</p>



<p><strong>The best thing to do, according to our veteran Denver Airbnb cleaner, is to use removable duvet covers, since other types of blankets, comforters, and quilts take a longer time to dry. Duvet covers are more functional because they protect your Airbnb bed sheets and can be quickly removed and easily washed.</strong></p>



<p>A <a href="https://app.turno.com/airbnb-cleaner/325/Medford-Massachusetts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Massachusetts Airbnb cleaner in our marketplace</a> recommends keeping multiple sets of duvet covers that cleaners can take home and launder. During the next turnover, the cleaners will bring back the laundered items.</p>



<p>When it comes to changing top bedding layers, many hosts on Turno wash blankets, comforters, and duvet covers every 2-3 weeks or after a long stay, while others wash them after every guest.</p>



<p>Many guests believe that hotels and Airbnbs launder bedding <a href="https://downcomforterexpert.com/comforters-in-get-washed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">less frequently</a>, so they immediately strip the beds of any top layers. However, short-term rental cleaning is more robust and can allow for a more thorough cleaning of these items. To notify guests of your cleaning efforts, consider leaving a note on the bed coverings stating that they have been laundered.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cleaning Airbnb Pillows</h3>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>Cleaning and sanitizing decorative pillows can be a little more complicated. For example, laundering a throw pillow several times a week is time-consuming, and it may take several dryer cycles to dry fully. Repetitive wash and dry cycles will quickly result in a dull, weathered-looking pillow.</p>



<p>To combat this issue, a top cleaner in the Turno marketplace advises to skip the washing machine and instead run the pillows in the dryer for ten minutes. The heat from the dryer will help make your throw pillows feel fresh and remove lingering dirt and dust.</p>



<p>For an even deeper clean, experienced vacation rental cleaners recommend throwing a wet towel in the dryer with the pillows. The steam that is created will eliminate bacteria and built-up grime.</p>



<p>Whenever possible, use <a href="https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/throw-pillows-with-removable-covers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">removable pillowcases</a> for your throw pillows. This way, you can launder the outer layer of the décor along with other sheets and linens after guests leave. To promote good hygiene and sanitization, spray some Lysol on the inner part of the throw pillows before putting the decorative cases back on.</p>

<figure class="alignright size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-1024x1024.jpg" alt="beachy bedroom interior design" class="wp-image-17077" width="518" height="518" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-12x12.jpg 12w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-24x24.jpg 24w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-48x48.jpg 48w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3-96x96.jpg 96w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bedding-3.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px" /></figure></div>


<p>Top online and brick-and-mortar stores to buy Airbnb bedding include:</p>



<ul id="block-7f3cac77-1d23-417d-a81d-14efe0b0e73d">
<li>Amazon</li>



<li>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</li>



<li>Brooklinen</li>



<li>Target</li>



<li>West Elm</li>
</ul>



<p>The most important thing to remember when purchasing Airbnb bedding is to choose high-quality products. Investing in well-made linens will help ensure your supplies last as long as possible. Not to mention, guests will greatly appreciate laying down on soft, comfortable sheets after a long day.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How many sets of sheets do I need as an Airbnb host?</h3>



<p>Experienced Airbnb hosts recommend keeping on hand 2-3 sets of sheets per bed.</p>



<p>Having extra inventory will prevent you from having to rush to launder your bedding during a quick turnover. You’ll be able to efficiently set up your property for the next set of guests and worry about laundry later.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How often are the sheets changed in an Airbnb?</h3>



<p>Professional cleaners suggest washing Airbnb sheets at least once every two weeks, or between every guest stay, regardless of the length of stay.</p>



<p>Again, we recommend using removable duvet covers for quicker wash cycles.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What is the best mattress for short-term rentals?</h3>



<p>A mattress lasts about 6 to 8 years, and it’s important to regularly check the condition of your Airbnb mattress to promote quality sleep for your guests.</p>



<p>If you’re looking to <a href="https://turno.com/replacing-vacation-rental-mattresses/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">replace your Airbnb mattress</a>, we recommend choosing one that’s within your budget, long-lasting, and ultra-comfortable. Top mattress brands for vacation rentals include Nectar, DreamCloud, and GhostBed.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>This Independence Day, it’s important to remind guests of Airbnb’s party policy.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is the Policy on Airbnb Parties?</h2>



<p>Released in 2020, the Airbnb party policy bans gatherings of more than 16 people, including disruptive and unauthorized parties. While the ban emerged when COVID-19 cases were still on the rise and vaccines hadn’t yet been approved, it has now been made permanent.</p>



<p>If a host authorizes parties or large gatherings, they may get suspended or completely removed from the platform. Similarly, if a guest doesn&#8217;t respect these Airbnb party rules, they can be reported for suspension or removal as well.</p>



<p>Airbnb party policies are enforced in many ways. First, Airbnb offers a <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/neighbors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">Neighborhood Support</a> forum where neighbors of Airbnb properties can report parties or disturbances. If necessary, they can also chat directly with the Neighborhood Support team.</p>



<p>Secondly, guests under 25 years of age are unable to book entire home listings in their local area. The attractiveness of a short-term rental for young partygoers is especially prevalent on a three-day weekend.</p>



<p>Finally, guests without a background of positive reviews cannot make one-night reservations or last-minute reservations for entire home listings on July 4th weekend. This is so that hosts can have peace of mind that their guests are certified Airbnb guests with a history of good ratings from other hosts.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/july-4th-airbnb-party-policy-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-8659" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/july-4th-airbnb-party-policy-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/july-4th-airbnb-party-policy-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/july-4th-airbnb-party-policy-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/july-4th-airbnb-party-policy-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/july-4th-airbnb-party-policy-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/july-4th-airbnb-party-policy-18x12.jpeg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Prevent Airbnb Parties at Your Rental</h2>



<p>In a perfect world, you would provide a list of house rules and your Airbnb party policy, and guests would be courteous, responsible, and happy. In reality, parties happen — and when they do, they can be destructive and hurt your vacation rental’s reputation.</p>



<p>That said, there are ways to prevent guests from throwing unauthorized parties. Below, learn four tips on how to enforce your Airbnb no parties or events policy.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Communicate Prior to Check-In</h3>



<p>Listing your house rules and party policy in your vacation rental listing is a great start, but it’s also important to communicate before check-in to clarify party restrictions during a guest’s stay.</p>



<p>When you contact your upcoming guest — usually via a message on Airbnb’s platform — reiterate the Airbnb no-party policy and other relevant rules, such as no smoking. Your guests may not read your full listing description or house rules before booking. But by reinforcing these regulations, you will be able to confirm they have agreed to all of them.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/vacation-rental-host-using-guest-screening-app-1024x683.jpeg" alt="vacation rental host using guest screening app" class="wp-image-7528" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/vacation-rental-host-using-guest-screening-app-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/vacation-rental-host-using-guest-screening-app-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/vacation-rental-host-using-guest-screening-app-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/vacation-rental-host-using-guest-screening-app-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/vacation-rental-host-using-guest-screening-app-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/vacation-rental-host-using-guest-screening-app-18x12.jpeg 18w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>If they disclose or hint that they are planning to throw a party, this is your chance to remind them about the <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/2704/party-and-events-policy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Airbnb party ban</a> and that failing to respect the rules can get them suspended or removed from the platform. If they choose to throw a party anyways, you can report them directly to Airbnb.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Use a Reminder Sign</h3>



<p>It’s helpful to put up a sign by the door to remind guests of your house rules and Airbnb policies upon arrival as another subtle nudge to respect your vacation rental property.</p>



<p>A reminder sign will also prevent misunderstandings and miscommunication. As stated, many guests skim important information when booking, so a sign right when they enter the door will help ensure clarity and understanding.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Be Available to Answer Questions</h3>



<p>Make sure that you are available for any questions or concerns your guests may have before and during their stay. By staying in touch, you can help prevent problems from occurring and professionally address them if they do occur.</p>



<p>That said, messaging guests can be time-consuming, so we recommend that you utilize guest communication automation software. These tools will help you be proactive in reinforcing Airbnb&#8217;s party policy. And with scheduled and quick replies, they’ll show that you prioritize the guest experience.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Use Noise and Occupancy Monitoring Technology</h3>



<p>To avoid noise complaints from your neighbors, you can remotely monitor noise and occupancy levels with smart devices from <a href="https://www.partysquasher.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Party Squasher</a> or <a href="https://www.minut.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minut</a>.</p>



<p>These tools send alerts if the noise or occupancy at your property exceeds a certain threshold, giving you the opportunity to remind guests about the no-party policy and noise complaint fines.</p>



<p>Keep in mind that Airbnb requires hosts to disclose any use of these technologies, and they must be placed in public and common areas. It’s also important to highlight that the devices are in no way recording.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prepare Your Vacation Rental for Small July 4th Gatherings</h2>



<p>Even though parties at an Airbnb are prohibited, there are still ways to ensure guests have fun and can celebrate special events like Independence Day. Here are some fun ideas to enhance the guest experience while maintaining a safe space during the 4th of July.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Promote Local Events</h3>



<p>Whether it be a firework show, carnival, or local music festival, there&#8217;s a good chance that your area has some creative local events for the public to enjoy this July 4th.</p>



<p>Search for nearby events online or in your local newspaper and recommend them to guests in your listing description, <a href="https://turno.com/travel-guide-for-your-vacation-rental-guests/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guidebook</a>, or simply through a message on Airbnb.</p>



<p>If you’re thinking of creating a guidebook, be sure to include the following points:</p>



<ul><li>Check-in and check-out times</li><li>Party ban rules</li><li>Maximum number of guests (16)</li><li>Smoking rules</li><li>WIFI instructions and password</li><li>Emergency protocol</li></ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Provide Festive Party Favors</h3>



<p>If the area where your vacation rental is located does not have any 4th of July events going on, find a local shop that sells fun party items, such as small American flags or sparklers, and set them out for your guests. Don’t forget to communicate any safety rules or tips though.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AdobeStock_232221556-1024x683.jpeg" alt="Airbnb Fourth of July Party Policies" class="wp-image-6445" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AdobeStock_232221556-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AdobeStock_232221556-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AdobeStock_232221556-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AdobeStock_232221556-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AdobeStock_232221556-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https://turno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AdobeStock_232221556-16x12.jpeg 16w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fire Up the Grill</h3>



<p>Barbequing is a staple for celebrating Independence Day. If your property has a grill and outdoor table, make sure they’re cleaned and set up.</p>



<p>After the holiday, politely ask your Airbnb cleaner to spend extra time on the grill because chances are it was heavily used.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Prepare Your Pool</h3>



<p>If your property has a pool, make sure it is heated and cleaned. Consider providing guests with pool towels, toys, and floaties. Help ensure the safety of your guests by offering floatation devices, a first aid kit, and even protective fencing.</p>



<p>You can also provide guests with tips on how to <a href="https://turno.com/the-ultimate-airbnb-cleaning-guide-to-pools/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">avoid tracking water inside</a> your property.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Happy Independence Day, From Turno</h2>



<p>It’s important to enforce the Airbnb party ban policy so you have peace of mind that your guests are safe during the 4th of July holiday. By preparing your vacation rental to help guests celebrate Independence Day while still complying with Airbnb party rules, you’re building a safer Airbnb community.</p>
