San Diego has become an increasingly popular destination for travelers looking to stay in short-term rentals. The city's beaches, parks, attractions, and ideal climate draw over 35 million visitors per year. More and more of these visitors prefer to stay in short-term rentals like Airbnb instead of hotels nowadays.
In response to the explosive growth of short-term rentals, the City of San Diego has put regulations in place requiring real estate investors, property owners and managers to obtain a Short-Term Residential Occupancy (STRO) license in order to legally operate this type of business. Unlike some cities that ban short-term rentals altogether, San Diego takes a balanced approach that allows and regulates short-term rental activity.
