Why 5 Year Superhosts Quit Airbnb/VRBO

Short-Term Rental Experience
Hosting a short-term rental property for five years, particularly on platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and Furnished Finders, has provided us with a wealth of experiences and insights. The decision to transition to a long-term rental is a significant shift that can offer more freedom for our own adventures. Let's explore some of the key aspects and considerations related to short-term rentals and the transition to long-term rentals.
Pros and Cons of Short-Term Rentals:
Hosting a short-term rental property can offer unique experiences for both hosts and guests. Stories abound about hosts who become friends with their guests, who return year after year. Short-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb and VRBO provide the opportunity to stay in a variety of accommodations, from beautifully-furnished homes in residential areas to unique spaces that differ from traditional hotel rooms.
Airbnb vs. VRBO:
Both Airbnb and VRBO cater to the needs of hosts and guests, offering different features and experiences. Airbnb, which started as a home-sharing concept, now hosts various types of accommodations, including homes for family get-togethers and shared spaces. On the other hand, VRBO specializes in vacation rentals of all types, such as houses, apartments, condos, and villas. Both platforms offer intuitive search tools and have their unique advantages for travelers.
Long-Term vs. Short-Term Rentals:
While long-term rentals offer consistent income, so long as the people are paying, and are generally easier to manage, short-term rentals have several advantages to consider. Short-term rentals allow hosts to set fluctuating rates depending on high and low seasons and offer the flexibility to set a minimum length of stay for popular times of the year, ensuring maximum profit.
Transitioning to a long-term rental can indeed provide more freedom for your own adventures and a different set of experiences. It's important to consider the unique aspects of long-term rentals and how they align with your future plans and goals.

Starlink on a cruise... Genius. That can be a game changer. Thanks for that info. It would be cool to see a video on that 🙂

Thanks. I did a couple of videos about working on a cruise ship while we were on a one way to Spain. Check them out. Working during time changes in. The middle of the Atlantic was interesting to say the least.😊
