vacation rentals
Temporary travel accommodations
Vacation rentals are properties rented short-term to travelers as alternatives to hotels—houses, apartments, or condos leased by the night or week.
The term gained prominence with platforms like Airbnb and VRBO: We found a vacation rental near the beach for half the price of a hotel.
The industry sits in tension with housing advocates who argue these rentals reduce long-term housing stock.
