I love how it's laid out; everything is easy to read and simple to understand. I'm definitely going to put the steps into action. I've been thinking about starting an Airbnb for a while, and this book has truly inspired me to finally do it. 4.0 out of 5 stars Good book on what it takes to rent out a place short term.Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2025 We run our own Airbnb and purchased this book to see if we're missing anything. Upon reading this it looks like we're doing everything in this book which I guess is why we have a five start rating and a guest favorite tag. Airbnb has been good to deal with. This book needed to cover who is easy to deal with having a place that your rent out. Otherwise this was a good solid book from our experience. 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2025 Just finished reading this book and I have to say, it's one of the most practical and eye-opening guides I've come across on short-term rentals. It walks you through market analysis, property selection, pricing, guest experience, and even negotiating deals, all in a way that's clear, direct, and easy to apply. I now feel way more confident about moving forward with my first property. Highly recommended. 5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Clear Advice for Aspiring Short-Term Rental HostsReviewed in the United States on May 25, 2025 I picked up Airbnb, Vrbo & Short-Term Rentals: Success Blueprint after a friend convinced me to consider renting out my guest house. What appealed to me most was the promise of a stress-free management approach, and the book primarily delivered. V J Dean offers straightforward, practical guidance broken down into digestible steps, from market research and pricing to managing guests and streamlining tasks. The section on dynamic pricing tools helped me rethink how I set rates, and the advice on amenities was refreshingly specific, not vague fluff. I appreciated that the book doesn't assume you're a tech expert or real estate mogul. Some chapters feel dense with info, and I would've liked a few real-life case studies for context, but overall, it's a practical blueprint. If you're curious about short-term rentals but don't know where to start, this book will make the journey feel far less overwhelming
