The most popular Airbnb rentals within a short drive of Philadelphia include an Instagram-enabled “Pretty in Pink” home in the city, a distinctive mid-century house with a corrugated roof just across the Delaware River, and a Miami-style villa in the Poconos, reports the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The uniqueness of some Airbnb properties makes them highly desirable for a short-term stay and doubles as passive income for the owner.
In Philadelphia, the median monthly income of people who listed properties on Airbnb or Vrbo in the past 12 months was $2,094, according to AirDNA, which tracks short-term rental data. This includes a 96% increase from $1,283 in January to $2,516 in July. During the peak summer travel month, occupancy rates reached 68% in the city and average daily fares were $172.
For short-term vacation destinations within driving distance of the city, the numbers were much higher.
