I recently reviewed a panel discussion from Phocuswright featuring senior leaders from Airbnb, Marriott, and Casago, and it offered a clear look into where short-term rentals are heading.A few themes stood out:• Airbnb is building a broader hospitality ecosystem through services, experiences, and hotels• Marriott is expanding deeper into professionally managed homes with strict operating and brand standards• Arbitrage-heavy models like Sonder were called out as fragile in changing market conditions• The industry is moving away from “any door will rent” toward fewer, higher-quality, better-operated propertiesMy takeaway from this conversation:Short-term rentals are moving away from being just alternative lodging and toward full-scale hospitality.Operators who focus on quality, systems, local expertise, and guest experience will win.Those relying on thin margins, arbitrage, or volume without standards will struggle.How we’re implementing this in our property management businessInstead of chasing door count or volume, we’re doubling down on:• Property selection over scale, only onboarding homes that can meet hospitality-level standards• Operational systems, including standardized inspections, preventive maintenance, and guest communication workflows• Local expertise, with boots-on-the-ground teams who can make real-time decisions and recommendations• Experience-driven stays, layering in services, amenities, and curated local recommendations beyond just the stay• Owner alignment, working only with owners who understand that quality and consistency drive long-term performanceThe goal isn’t to manage more properties.It’s to operate better properties.Curious how others here are approaching this shift:• Are you adjusting your model in response to where the industry is heading?
