Houston’s #1 Airbnb Management Company
Breezy Vacation Rentals is one of the largest independent short-term rental management companies in Houston, with 19 properties across the city’s most in-demand neighborhoods. Our largest cluster is in Montrose — Houston’s walkable, artsy neighborhood that consistently ranks as one of the top Airbnb markets in Texas — where we manage 6+ properties. We also manage units in EaDo, Third Ward, the Medical Center corridor, Southwest Houston, and Northwest Houston.
We’re not a franchise, and we’re not a tech platform that leaves you on your own. We’re a Houston-based team that handles every aspect of your short-term rental — from listing creation and dynamic pricing to guest communication, cleaning coordination, and maintenance — for a flat 18% management fee. You keep 82% of revenue and stay as involved (or uninvolved) as you want.
The City of Houston now requires all short-term rental operators to register with the city under the STR ordinance adopted April 16, 2025 (Chapter 28, Article XXIII). The annual registration fee is $275, and properties must carry $1 million in liability insurance and comply with occupancy limits as specified in the city’s Director’s Rules and Regulations. Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO are removing unregistered listings. If you haven’t registered yet, your listing is at risk of being taken down. Breezy handles the entire compliance process for our owners — registration, insurance verification, occupancy documentation, and ongoing regulatory updates.

We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re not trying to be. At 18%, we’re significantly below the industry average of 20–35% — but more importantly, our owners earn more net income because of higher occupancy, better pricing, and fewer vacancy gaps. We manage 29 total properties across Texas, and our Houston portfolio is our largest and most established market.

FAQ: Houston Airbnb Management
What does Houston’s new STR registration require?
As of January 1, 2026, all Houston short-term rental operators must register with the city under the ordinance adopted April 16, 2025 (Chapter 28, Article XXIII of the Houston Code of Ordinances). Registration costs $275 annually and requires $1 million in liability insurance. Occupancy limits and additional operating standards are specified in the Director’s Rules and Regulations published by the Administration and Regulatory Affairs Department. Platforms are actively removing unregistered listings. Breezy handles the entire registration and compliance process for our owners. Full details at houstontx.gov/ara/str.html.
How much does Airbnb management cost in Houston?
Most Houston Airbnb management companies charge 20–35% of rental income. Breezy charges 18% — one of the lowest full-service rates in the Houston market. This covers listing optimization, dynamic pricing, 24/7 guest communication, cleaning coordination, maintenance, and compliance management. You keep 82% of every dollar earned.
How much can my Houston property earn on Airbnb?
Houston Airbnb earnings vary by neighborhood, property size, and amenities. A well-managed 2–3 bedroom in Montrose or EaDo typically generates $3,000–$6,000+ per month in gross revenue. Larger properties with pools or unique features can exceed $7,000/month. We provide free revenue estimates based on your specific property and comparable listings in your area.
Can I still use my property when I want to?
Absolutely. You block off dates whenever you want to use your home — no questions asked. Many of our Houston owners block holidays, family visits, or specific weekends throughout the year. We simply adjust our availability calendar and pricing strategy around your personal use.
What’s the difference between co-hosting and full management?
With co-hosting, you stay involved in some decisions — like approving bookings or setting pricing boundaries — while we handle day-to-day operations. With full management, we handle everything autonomously and you simply collect monthly owner payouts. Both models use the same 18% rate. Most Houston owners start with co-hosting and transition to full management once they see the results.
Do you handle hotel occupancy taxes for Houston properties?
Yes. Houston’s hotel occupancy tax is 17% (combined city and state). Airbnb auto-remits these taxes on its platform, but bookings through VRBO, Booking.com, and direct channels require manual tax handling — which we manage. Stays of 30+ days are exempt from hotel occupancy taxes, which is a significant savings for corporate and extended-stay bookings.
Are your managed properties pet-friendly?
Over 90% of our Houston properties are dog-friendly, which is a major booking driver — pet-friendly Airbnbs in Houston see 15–20% more bookings than non-pet properties. We allow dogs only (no cats due to allergy house rules). A pet fee applies per dog. We handle all pet policy communication and enforce house rules with guests.
