Hero image
A/B tested quarterly
We run split tests on the hero image — the single largest driver of click-through rate in search. Winning image is refreshed seasonally.
Airbnb Management
Airbnb-specific expertise, not a generic service.
Airbnb rewards hosts who understand its ranking algorithm and its guests. We optimize for both — Superhost status, calendar strategy, cancellation policy tuning, and listing SEO that keeps you on page one of local search.

Why Airbnb-specific matters
Generic managers leave money on the table.
Airbnb is not Vrbo, and it is not Booking.com. Its search algorithm weights different signals, its guests book differently, and its ranking is more sensitive to response speed, review velocity, and cancellation rate than any other platform.
We treat Airbnb as its own discipline. Every one of our listings is optimized for the platform's specific ranking signals — and re-tested quarterly as the algorithm changes. That's why 94% of our listings hold Superhost status, compared to an industry average of about 30%.
- ✓94% Superhost rate across managed listings
- ✓Top 10% search ranking in most categories
- ✓Under-5-minute response time, 24/7
- ✓68% success rate on review disputes
Superhost tracker
Four requirements. We hit all four, on every listing.
Airbnb's Superhost program requires four metrics to be maintained simultaneously over every 3-month assessment period. Here's where our average managed property stands — updated quarterly.
Overall rating
Requirement: 4.8+
4.92
Above requirement
Based on 3,412 guest reviews across managed listings in the current assessment window.
Completed stays
Requirement: 10+ per year
38
Above requirement
Average across managed properties in the last 12 months.
Response rate
Requirement: 90%+
100%
Above requirement
Measured on messages replied to within 24 hours. Our actual median reply is under 5 minutes.
Cancellation rate
Requirement: under 1%
0.3%
Below requirement
Cancellations initiated by the host over the last assessment window.
Search ranking
What actually moves you up Airbnb search.
Airbnb's algorithm is not fully public, but the signal weights are well understood by anyone who's operated at scale. We tune all of the following for every managed listing — and re-test after every major platform update.
-
01
Click-through rate from search
Hero image, headline, and price in search results. The single biggest factor we can control — and where A/B testing pays off the most.
-
02
Response time to inquiries
Airbnb boosts hosts who reply fast. Ours average under 5 minutes, 24/7.
-
03
Review velocity and recency
New reviews matter more than old ones. We keep a steady booking cadence to keep fresh reviews flowing.
-
04
Cancellation and rejection rate
Host-initiated cancellations hurt ranking disproportionately. We accept bookings we can fulfill — and refuse the ones we can't, before they become a problem.
-
05
Calendar availability and freshness
Regularly updated calendars and open availability signal an active, healthy listing. Stale calendars rank lower.
-
06
Listing completeness and accuracy
All amenities tagged, accurate photos, verified address, and every detail filled in. Airbnb rewards thoroughness.

Pricing calendar
Miami Beach has four seasons. None of them are winter.
Click any month to see our typical rate strategy and the events that drive demand. Rates shown are for a representative 2-bedroom managed property.
Listing optimization
Listings that earn the click before the guest reads the price.
Airbnb search is a visual and structural competition. We tune every element that shows up on the results page.
Photo gallery
Ordered for scroll depth
Photo order is not arbitrary. We sequence images to maximize scroll depth and show the best rooms first, based on platform conversion data.
Title & headline
Keyword-tuned, human-written
Headlines hit the specific search terms guests use without sounding stuffed. We test two variants at a time and keep the winner.
Description
Structured for scanning
Guests scan; they don't read. We structure the description into short, scannable sections — sleeping, amenities, neighborhood, transit.
Amenities
Every tag that matters
Airbnb filters guests by amenity. Missing a tag means missing bookings. We audit amenity listings quarterly and add newly-available categories.
Response time
Under 5 minutes, 24/7
Response time is a direct ranking factor. Our support desk replies to every message in under five minutes — including overnight.
Airbnb operations
The platform-specific details that matter.
Airbnb has its own quirks — Instant Book, cancellation policies, smart pricing, co-hosting, resolution center. We handle all of them, and we handle them specifically for Airbnb, not as a generic add-on.
-
01
Instant Book configuration
We tune Instant Book settings per listing — guest requirements, minimum history, trip length — so you get the ranking lift without the risk.
-
02
Cancellation policy optimization
Flexible, Moderate, Firm, Strict — we match the policy to the property's market segment and test changes over 90-day windows.
-
03
Calendar strategy
Minimum stay tuning, gap-night filling, seasonal blocks, orphan night discounts. The calendar is a strategy, not a placeholder.
-
04
Resolution center handling
Damage claims, refund disputes, and guest friction — filed, tracked, and followed up through Airbnb's resolution center on your behalf.
-
05
Smart Pricing override
Airbnb's Smart Pricing is a starting point, not a strategy. We override it with our own engine for most properties — and only keep the platform tool when it outperforms.
-
06
Superhost program management
We track all four Superhost metrics in real time, so any dip is corrected before the quarterly assessment — never after.

Owner story
What changes when Airbnb gets its own specialist.
“I lost Superhost twice before switching. Coastal Haven kept it — quarter after quarter — for going on two years now. My listing also stopped falling off page one when I wasn't actively managing it.”
“The A/B testing on the hero image was the thing that surprised me most. One photo swap moved my click-through by almost 40%. I never would've thought to test that myself.”
“I'd been using Airbnb Smart Pricing and getting mediocre results. Coastal Haven overrode it with their own engine and my average nightly rate went up $60 a night at the same occupancy.”
“A guest tried to leave a review that included my building name and door number. Coastal Haven disputed it and Airbnb removed it within 48 hours. That alone justified the fee.”
Airbnb FAQ
Questions specific to Airbnb operations.
Everything Airbnb hosts ask before handing over the platform. For general questions, see the main FAQ page.
Full FAQCan I keep my existing Airbnb listing and reviews?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Reviews and Superhost history follow the listing, not the manager. We take over as a co-host, so your account, your reviews, and your listing history all stay with you.
What does co-hosting actually change on Airbnb?
Co-hosting gives us access to manage your listing — messaging, calendar, pricing, and resolution center — without taking ownership. You retain full control of the account and can revoke access at any time.
Do you keep my listing on Airbnb's Smart Pricing?
Rarely. Airbnb's Smart Pricing is a baseline tool, not a revenue strategy. We override it with our own pricing engine for most listings, and only fall back to Smart Pricing when the platform tool genuinely outperforms for a specific property.
How do you handle Instant Book?
We tune Instant Book per listing: guest requirements, minimum trip length, and booking window. Instant Book gives a ranking lift, but the settings have to match the property's risk profile. Not every listing should be Instant Book.
What about Airbnb's cancellation policies?
We match the policy to the property's market segment. Flexible for high-competition short-stay markets, Firm or Strict for premium properties with higher cancellation risk. Every change is tested over a 90-day window.
Do you file review disputes on Airbnb?
Yes. Reviews that violate Airbnb's content policy — personal information, discrimination, retribution — are disputed formally. We have a 68% success rate on disputes since 2022. Reviews that are legitimate but negative are answered publicly and followed up privately.
How do you handle damage claims on Airbnb?
We document the damage with photos and a written report, then file through Airbnb's Resolution Center under your AirCover for Hosts policy. Follow-up continues until the claim is resolved or denied. We don't leave open claims for you to chase.
Can I manage my listing on other platforms too?
Yes. We manage your Airbnb listing as its own optimization effort, and also list on Vrbo, Booking.com, and Expedia when it makes sense. All calendars are synchronized so a booking on one platform blocks the others instantly.
