Successful short-term vacation rentals in St. Louis, Missouri

As the population continues to grow in St. Louis, there is a growing demand for alternative housing options. Short-term vacation rentals are an affordable and little-known way to monetize your property’s value. However, it is important to understand the location, the regulations and the potential pitfalls before taking the plunge. As with any type of rental property, you must ensure that your property meets all local regulations. You should also ensure that your property is in good condition before taking a short-term rental booking. It’s important to note that short-term vacation rentals are not allowed in most historic districts and in most areas with a high concentration of renters (such as apartments). Before getting started, it pays to do some research. There are plenty of resources available to help you get started, including websites like Airbnb, which have information on local laws and regulations as well as listings of already established short-term vacation rental operators.

Positive trends in the St. Louis, Missouri short-term vacation rental housing market include: St. Louis is seeing a rise in visitor traffic and growth in tourism due to its accessibility to the city, region, and country. This puts a strain on hotel rooms, causing potential short-term vacation renters to look for alternative accommodations. Other industries benefitting from the increase in short-term guest accommodations are health care and hospitality. Rising interest in short-term rentals among millennials can lead to increased demand for affordable options such as Airbnb-style homes that can be rented out for a few days or weeks at a time.
