What about wall unit? Some people have a hole framed out in the wall like a window, put molding around it and stick an A/C unit inside that looks like a window unit called a through-the-wall unit. It is permanently bolted into the wood framing. In fact I've seen Wifi remote controlled window units so you could still control them remotely if you wanted to make sure they were off if the home was empty. Some people use window units in the hole too I think. Like this unit:

Negative on the bedjet. I bought one, returned it. It is not an AC unit for your bed, basically a glorified fan with heater option. If you don't use special sheets then both people in the bed, assuming King/Queen, share the same bedjet output. The special sheets are very expensive. There are filters in the unit to filter the air, and since they are running 8 hours per day and are small they clog up. Any of the bed cooling solutions are for personal use only, I would not use for a rental. Definitely would not use any of the water based ones.

Ask an HVAC contractor to add more blower vent and return vents.

They can use insulated flexible hoses.

You might also try installing ceiling fans in the bedrooms and the hallway to stir up the air.

Good Luck!

I won't do this because I want my nightly rate that shows up on the map to be as low as possible to get more clicks.

@Rachel Hughes very true, which is why it could perhaps work better?  Travelers using Airbnb mostly do not know the in's and out's of it all.  So if they see a listing in the search results that advertises "NO FEES" where the total booking amount shown is in the same ballpark as other listings, I think they'd be tempted to at least give it glance.  Again, just spitballing here, I haven't done this myself as of yet.  It's just another way to skin the cat.
