Just Launched Our First Vacation Rental Property
A while back, my wife and I decided to rehab one of our long-term rentals in central Austin and convert it to a short-term vacation rental. After months and months of work, our first vacation rental property is now up and running!
We've had two parties stay with us so far, and both have left sparkling reviews. And we've got a couple bookings for South by Southwest next week. We're looking forward to settling into our new roles in the hospitality industry (we're self-managing), and tweaking amenities/rates to generate maximum revenue from the property going forward. Exciting stuff!

@Jon Klaus I frequently rent an airstream in Palm Springs that is on a SFR lot. The airstream is far enough from the home for privacy.
A big attraction of short term vacation rentals is the option to stay in a unique space like an airstream, a treehouse, a boat, etc. next to location, the kitsch factor is a huge selling point. If you google "airstream AIRBNB" most of the listing have 100+ positive reviews.
