Short Term Rental Without AirBnb

Posted

Just curious if anyone has any experience running a short term rental in a freelance type of way. Meaning you do your own marketing and booking without the airbnb or VRBO platforms? Is that even possible? Pros or cons? Any feedback is appreciated. TIA.

Quote from @Terri-Leigh H.:

Vacation Rentals not STR.

STR is an acceptable term for what we do. Or vacation rentals. Just don't call them AirBnB's :-)
