Airbnb Co-Hosting for High-Earning Vacation Homes

An Airbnb co-host helps the listing owner run a rental from the owner’s own Airbnb account. Depending on the permissions the owner sets, a co-host can manage pricing and the calendar, message guests, accept or decline booking requests and coordinate cleaning and maintenance. Co-hosts can take on a few jobs or all of them, and Airbnb notes that the listing owner remains responsible for the co-hosts they add. Our team handles pricing, guest communication, turnovers and maintenance, and you get a clear owner statement every month.

Co-hosting typically runs 10% to 18% of rental income, and full-service Airbnb management 15% to 30%. Our fee is a share of rental income, including rent and cleaning fees, excluding taxes, and we show you the exact numbers for your home on the Property Fit Call. If the numbers don’t comfortably clear our fee, we’ll tell you to keep self-managing.

Your listing and its reviews stay with you. With our model the listing lives in your own Airbnb account, so the listing, its reviews and its history always stay yours. You add co-hosts from your account with the permissions you set, you can change those permissions at any time, and you can remove a co-host from the listing. On Airbnb, only the listing owner can set up co-host payouts, and a co-host cannot see or change your payout method or taxpayer information. We do not hold or escrow your funds. The 60-Day Owner Control Guarantee lets you leave within 60 days without an early-exit fee, and management fees earned after the first 30 days remain payable. Guarantee terms apply.

Ask these questions before you sign with any co-host.

• Does the listing stay in your own Airbnb account, so the reviews and history stay yours?
• Do they hold or escrow your funds?
• Who answers guest messages and handles emergencies, and who covers cleaning and maintenance at your address?
• Is the fee written down as a share of what, and does it include or exclude cleaning fees and taxes?
• Can you leave, and what does leaving cost?
• Will you get a clear statement every month, with numbers you can check?
• Can you verify their record, such as ratings, reviews and Superhost status, on the platforms themselves?

We answer every one of these on the Property Fit Call.

We co-host in four markets: the Jersey Shore (Belmar, Bradley Beach, Ocean Grove, Asbury Park for owner-occupied homes only, Manasquan, Long Beach Island, Cape May, Sea Isle City and Ocean City), the Shenandoah Valley (Luray and Page County, Massanutten, Shenandoah County and Front Royal), the Smoky Mountains (Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg) and Florida’s Gulf Coast (Panama City Beach, Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach). We do not have a home in every one of those towns, so we tell you where our nearest homes and cleaners are before you decide. If your home is outside those four markets, we are not the right fit today.

Yes. You can block owner stays whenever you want them, and we show you the revenue impact of each block so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.

A co-host is a role on Airbnb: someone you add to your own listing, with permissions you set. Full-service Airbnb management describes how much work you hand over, which usually runs from pricing and guest communication to cleaners, maintenance and reporting. The two overlap, because a co-host can take on a few jobs or the whole list. The questions worth asking are whose account holds the listing and how the fee is structured. We offer full-service Airbnb management delivered as co-hosting: you keep the listing in your own account, and we run it.

Apply for a Property Fit Call. The application takes about 5 minutes, and Cody Zucker, CPA, reviews every one personally. On the call, bring your last 12 months of rental income if you have it. We compare your results with nearby homes, tell you what we would change, and tell you whether we believe we can improve the result. Right now, The Endless Collection is taking three new homes, through December 31, 2026.
