St. Catharines is one of the world’s top markets for short term and executive rentals due to its population size, economic importance, open approach to immigration, and tourism industry. Due to new St. Catharines regulations, it’s vacation rental market has evolved to become more healthy and sustainable for years to come. Our Airbnb property management services St. Catharines are designed to allow hosts to benefit from this market without the day-to-day workload that comes with it.
Given the size of St. Catharines, there is demand for short term rentals throughout the many neighborhoods of the beautiful city. In neighborhoods with less demand, there tends to be a balancing effect of lower supply, ensuring consistent occupancy no matter where or when a host is renting. Demand in the downtown core is always the strongest due to proximity to restaurants, activities, and sites. Due to the lack of hotels outside of the downtown core, hosts in neighborhoods not traditionally known for tourism offer a great hotel alternative on sites like Airbnb and experience strong occupancy.
The St. Catharines short term rental market is a seasonal market due to variability in travel demand throughout the year. The strongest months of the year are between May to October, with the summer months being the busiest time. The summer demand is generated by increased tourism, conferences, and events. Hosts renting their homes in the winter months may decide they want monthly executive rentals to provide stable monthly income and occupancy due to lower tourism demand.
For the City of St. Catharines, a short-term rental is a dwelling unit rented for a period of 28 consecutive days or less. It is required that the STR is the primary residence of the host. The host can temporarily rent out the entire dwelling unit on an occasional basis. So the property cannot function solely as a short term rental.
