Short-term rentals refer to properties rented out for a brief period, typically less than 30 days. These rentals are popular among travelers seeking a home-like experience while on vacation. Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo have made it easier for homeowners to list their properties and for guests to find unique accommodations. These rentals can range from single rooms to entire homes, offering various amenities and locations. They provide an alternative to traditional hotels, often at competitive prices. Short-term rentals can also benefit local economies by attracting tourists and providing income for property owners.
