Higher income. More control. Less risk.
Compared to long-term rentals, short-term rentals offer more flexibility and stronger returns:
More income: Well-managed short-term rentals consistently outperform traditional leases, often earning 30–60% more annually, according to AirDNA. With dynamic pricing and seasonal demand, you can maximize profits year-round.
Fewer risks: Regular cleanings, inspections, and guest turnover keep your property in better condition than a long-term lease, preventing costly deferred maintenance.
Diversified income: Instead of relying on one tenant, you benefit from multiple bookings each month, creating a more stable income stream that’s less vulnerable to vacancy.
Fully managed: Our team handles guest communication, cleaning, maintenance, and city compliance, so your investment stays hands-off and stress-free.
Inflation-proof growth: Real estate naturally appreciates with inflation, building long-term wealth. For example, a $125K down payment on a $500K property could yield around $55K in appreciation per year, comparable to a 44% return in the stock market.
With short-term rentals, you gain a property that works for you, earning passive income, building equity, and giving you the freedom to use it whenever you want.
We combine experience, performance, and care to help your property thrive.

Converting our home into an Airbnb was truly a journey. With Sam’s expertise and incredible sense of style, she transformed our house into a welcoming vacation getaway. She spent countless hours shopping, curating furniture, and selecting artwork to ensure every detail was just right.
Now, others get to enjoy what we once cherished in our home — from family reunions and weddings to graduations and backyard BBQs.
Originally, we had planned to sell our home. But after researching and discovering Sam’s profile, we connected with her and everything changed. Turning our home into an Airbnb has been the best investment decision we’ve made. It not only provides us with great revenue, but it also allowed us to keep a place so full of memories.
Thank you!
We are so excited to be working with Sam!! We chose her run our Airbnb because we moved overseas. Sam was very proactive from the first meeting with her. She stayed on top of it and always responded. Sam worked extremely hard to meet our quick turnover and made our home look beautiful. If you are looking for someone to run your short-term rental, we highly recommend Sam at Boise Vacation Rentals. We look forward to growing our relationship with her and continuing this new adventure.
Cheers,
