Beverly Hills, California Short Term Rental Overview

Airbnb Market
Beverly Hills presents an exceptional short-term rental investment opportunity with average daily rates (ADR) consistently exceeding $400-600 per night, significantly outperforming the Los Angeles County average of $180-220, driven by the city's unparalleled luxury brand recognition and proximity to high-value entertainment industry events, world-class shopping on Rodeo Drive, and exclusive dining establishments that attract affluent international travelers willing to pay premium rates for authentic Beverly Hills experiences. The market demonstrates remarkable occupancy resilience, maintaining 70-85% occupancy rates even during off-peak periods due to year-round business travel, awards season influx, and consistent leisure demand from high-net-worth individuals seeking privacy and luxury accommodations that traditional hotels cannot match. Property owners in prime Beverly Hills locations are generating annual revenues of $150,000-$300,000+ for luxury properties, with revenue per available room (RevPAR) metrics showing 40-60% higher performance compared to traditional long-term rental yields, while the city's strict zoning regulations and limited short-term rental permits create artificial scarcity that protects existing operators from oversaturation and maintains pricing power in this premium market segment.
Short Term Rental Regulations
Beverly Hills maintains strict short-term rental regulations that require specific permits, business licenses, and compliance with zoning restrictions that vary by neighborhood, with violations potentially resulting in hefty fines, legal action, and forced closure of your rental operation. The city's ordinances are complex and frequently updated, covering everything from occupancy limits and noise restrictions to tax collection requirements and safety inspections, making it challenging for individual property owners to stay current with all applicable laws and avoid costly penalties. A professional short-term rental management service eliminates these compliance risks by handling all permitting processes, maintaining current licenses, collecting and remitting required taxes, and ensuring ongoing adherence to local regulations, allowing you to generate rental income with confidence while they navigate the intricate legal landscape on your behalf.
Occupancy Rates
Beverly Hills Airbnb occupancy rates typically peak during the summer months (June through August) and winter holiday season (December through early January), when tourists flock to Southern California for warm weather, entertainment industry events, and luxury shopping experiences, often achieving occupancy rates of 75-85%. The shoulder seasons occur during late fall (September-November) and early spring (February-May), when occupancy can drop to 55-65% as fewer leisure travelers visit and business travel decreases. Professional revenue management becomes crucial during these fluctuations, as operators must implement dynamic pricing strategies that increase rates during peak periods to maximize revenue per available night while strategically lowering prices during slower months to maintain competitive occupancy levels. Effective revenue management in Beverly Hills requires real-time market analysis, competitor pricing monitoring, and automated pricing adjustments that respond to local events, award shows, fashion weeks, and seasonal demand patterns, ensuring properties remain profitable year-round despite the inherent seasonality of this luxury tourism market.
Vacation Rental Management
Managing a vacation rental in Beverly Hills presents unique operational challenges that can quickly overwhelm property owners and damage their reputation in this ultra-competitive luxury market. Guest turnover in this high-end area requires meticulous attention to detail, with same-day cleaning, restocking of premium amenities, and immediate property inspections between stays—all while coordinating with multiple vendors who command premium rates and limited availability in this exclusive neighborhood. The 24/7 communication demands are particularly intense, as affluent guests expect immediate responses to requests ranging from concierge services to emergency maintenance, often across multiple time zones, and any delayed response can result in scathing reviews that devastate bookings in a market where guests have countless luxury alternatives. Maintenance challenges are amplified by Beverly Hills' strict building codes, HOA requirements, and the need for specialized contractors familiar with high-end finishes and luxury appliances, where a simple repair can cost thousands and require permits that take weeks to obtain. Without full-service property management handling these complex operations, owners face constant interruptions to their daily lives, escalating costs from emergency repairs and rushed vendor bookings, and the very real risk of negative reviews that can destroy their passive income stream in a market where maintaining a flawless 5-star reputation is not just preferred—it's absolutely essential for profitability.
Attractions and Amenities
Beverly Hills attracts visitors primarily to experience Rodeo Drive's world-renowned luxury shopping district, tour the iconic celebrity homes throughout the residential areas, explore the glamorous Sunset Strip entertainment corridor, and visit the historic Beverly Hills Hotel and surrounding Golden Triangle business district. To maximize revenue from guests visiting these specific attractions, properties must offer premium amenities that align with the upscale expectations of Beverly Hills tourists, including concierge services for securing reservations at exclusive restaurants and arranging private shopping appointments, valet parking or secure garage space for luxury vehicles, high-end spa facilities and fitness centers to complement the wellness-focused lifestyle, premium linens and furnishings that match the luxury standard guests experience throughout the city, reliable high-speed Wi-Fi for sharing social media content from glamorous locations, and ideally rooftop or balcony spaces where guests can enjoy views of the Hollywood Hills while planning their next excursion to nearby attractions, as visitors to Beverly Hills are typically seeking a complete luxury experience that extends from the famous streets they explore during the day to their accommodation at night.

The house was great. It accommodated our large group nicely. The owner was responsive and checked in on us throughout the trip. The gate around the home added privacy and security. The beds were comfortable as well. Extra linen, towels and washcloths. We are looking to book this home in the future!

We really appreciated Surge. He was responsive, attentive, and went above to make sure our stay was seamless. You can tell he takes pride in providing a clean/organized place. Everyone loved the pool table and shuffleboard. This place is also very close to great restaurants. The place we went to had the best catfish. Would definitely rent from Surge again!!

Our group really enjoyed our long weekend stay here! The property was very clean and spacious but also provided some privacy to accommodate our large family. Surge was responsive when we reached out to them and also accommodated an early check-in. We felt secure given that the property was gated and had smart locks on both entry doors. We strongly recommend this property and would love to stay here again!

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
Does Surge Property Management allow pets in its short term rentals?
Surge Property Management leaves that decision to the property owner. While allowing pets can be a big perk for some guests, Surge does not have any requirements for the property owner to allow it. Service animals are a different case. Surge is prohibited to refuse a reservation, charge pet fees, hold guests to different rules, apply differential treatment or use discriminatory language if a guest is accompanied by a service animal. A guests service animal must not be out of control, un-housebroken, left alone at the listing without prior approval, allowed into areas that are considered unauthorized by the guest and allowed in a public space without being harnessed, leashed, or tethered and not under the guests control.
Do I get access to an owner portal?
Surge Property Management has a tech leading owner portal to keep its property owners in the loop, instead of on the outside looking in. In the owner portal you can reserve days for personal use, see pending reservations, nightly pricing rates, owner statements, expense receipts, guest messaging and more!
Do you screen the guests that are staying in my property?
Our intelligent Guest Screening technology allows us to screen vacation rental guests before they enter your property, making it easier to keep bad guests out. We proactively assess the risk posed by each guest, through legal, non-discriminatory checks. Guests will be asked to submit some personal details including their name, date of birth, physical home address and contact details. We then verify by having the guest take a live selfie and submit a photo of their ID(either a drivers license or passport). This information will then be processed to determine the true identity of your guest, including whether the ID is fraudulent and if the provided details match those on the ID. This process will generate a risk report for us to review before the guest arrives.
Do you provide insurance for guest damages?
We partner with the premier provider of short term rental protection also offering guest screening and comprehensive insurance coverage. Our partner brings confidence and peace of mind to both Surge Property Management and its clients(homeowners). Our third party partner has protected over 60 billion in homeowner liability coverage and 1 million guest nights. Ask your Surge sales representative for more details.
What happens if there is guest damage to my property?
Each guest is required to make a $500 security deposit. Any damage above $500 we are able to document, submit, and follow a claim through on your behalf with our short term rental insurance partner covering up to $5,000,000.
How does Surge compare to a national provider like Vacasa?
While both Surge and Vacasa both have a full service model designed to be hands off from the property owner, Surge stands out above the rest by being more intentional and selective with the properties we decide to accept into our management portfolio. This allows us to give the required attention to the properties we manage instead of just "setting it and forgetting it" like the other property managers do. Once you go onboard with them you just become another number.
Does Surge handle the maintenance of the vacation rental?
Yes, Surge is able to handle any property maintenance(including hot tub & pool) for your property. We have a large network of service providers, additionally, if you have a preferred vendor we can assign and coordinate maintenance with them as well.

How and when do I get paid?

Are there any hidden fees?

With your monthly statements you will be able to trace every dollar from when the guest paid for their reservation to when it was deposited into your bank account. Contact your Surge sales rep for a personal walk through of our statement structure.
Can I still use my property?
Yes of course. The biggest perk of a vacation rental is still retaining personal use of the property for your personal use. Inside of our Owner’s Portal you can reserve days for personal use.
